    I don't have a bag... my gym is one of those no frills ones, no locker room or showers. Which is fine since I just go and then go back home to shower. I carry everything I need; water bottle, towel, iPod and earbuds.

    gym shoes
    earbuds
    phone charger
    shirt shorts socks and underwear(why underwear? because if your underwear aren't soaked with sweat you haven't stayed long enough or gone hard enough.)
    travel size shampoo body wash and a wash rag.
    deodorant
    sometimes i'll throw in gloves or a lifting belt.
    protein shake or bar in case i don't have time to get something better to eat.

    hair tie, contact lenses, headphones. if I forget any of those I'm screwed! :)
    if I'm going somewhere after, then makeup, dry shampoo, hairbrush, deodorant, & clean underwear/clothes! I just bought a $29 mini travel flat iron from sephora that's adorable & I can't wait to try it out - perfect for post-gym hair!

    I need to look into that travel flat iron. Awesome addition to my gym bag!

    Mine includes:
    deodorant
    bobby pins
    a mess of ponytail holders
    Bondiband headband
    fingerless gloves and gardening gloves (outside bootcamp use)
    towel/washcloth (lunchtime trainer appts are at gym with no shower SO I must take a Desperately Seeking Susan "shower" in the sink)
    shoes
    extra gym clothes (in case I forget something when I pack each night)
    hairspray and brush
    body spray and lotion
    basic makeup (mascara, powder, lip gloss)
    mini notebook/workout list
    iPod and phone
    makeup remover wipes (love these!) and face lotion

    I workout mainly after work with a few lunch sessions thrown in for good measure. It's those sessions that require all the girly necessities!

    Sadly I haven't used my gym bag in a while, because I don't use the stuff in it anymore, but there are boxing gloves, mma gloves, three pairs of board shorts, 4 pairs of hand wraps, a moth piece, and a stop watch. For going to the gym now since it is right down the street, I just bring with me a shirt to change into for the ride home, my Ipod, my phone, and liquid chalk on the days I need it.
