ronda_gettinghealthy

does anyone have the perfectly packed bag...it seems like I take a small suitcase with me and then still dont have stuff...and I have a locker at the gym...HELP someone tell me how to pack light and what they think is essential for the traveling gym bag...

I'd say travel-size toiletries (hair brush, shampoo, conditioner, body/face wash), a towel, reusable water bottle, swim suit (if you swim), workout clothes, and hair tie, if necessary!

That usually gives me everything I need and if you're efficient, you can fit it into a small duffel bag.

My purse has pretty much everything I need.

Read: It is huge.

In the side pocket:
Large baggie with the following:
Travel conditioner, soap
Razor
large comb
extra rubber bands for hair

Small baggie with bath puff

In shoe side - shower flip flops and shoes to change into

In small front pocket:
extra change
inhaler
heart rate monitor
peanuts (for blood sugar drops)
lotion
Vaseline for chapped lips
keys


Um, yeah. I have a lot. And I'm a minimalist (I don't wear make up, curl hair, etc).

I never bring shower items( I much prefer to shower at home) but inside my bag, I have my workout clothes, my shoes, hair brush, lil make up bag with hair ties, deodorant, and hair pins, Ipod, HRM, Water bottle, Wallet, Gym Tag and Keys.

I recently had to upgrade my bag cause the one I was using was just way to small..

Here's exactly what I have in my gym bag every day:

Shorts, Shirt, Socks and Shoes (to workout in)
Underwear (to change into after I shower)
Body Wash (used for both body and shampoo)
Deodorant
Cologne or Body Spray (i.e. Axe or similar)
Hand Towel (for wiping off sweat in the gym)
Bath Towel (for the shower)
A set of ear buds (I use my mobile phone as a media player and FM Radio)

That's all I need. I workout at lunch so I don't need to shave afterward, I'm not a woman so I don't have to worry about makeup, and I don't normally brush my teeth after a workout. I'll admit I'm curious about what all you do carry in your bag and what you feel you're missing.

Sneakers
shorts/tights, t-shirt/fleece, socks, underwear
bathing suit

Ipod/headphones
HRM/chest strap
Body glide, goggles, swim cap

soap, shampoo, deodorant
shower towel, sweat towel

Clean underwear for after the shower.


This is what I keep packed and in my car daily... that way if the weather is better than expected or my schedule lightens up or whatever else, I can always get in a workout - run, lift, or swim.

I also keep my last 2 InBody assessments in my gym bag because I want to always know where they are so I can look back on them. There is also a tablet with various workouts in there and random other junk.

I don't keep shampoo/conditioner or body wash because my gym provides all that. I do carry my makeup when I have the need to.

I have a pretty small back pack, and I can just about fit everything in it.

As well as trainers, gym clothes, towel etc I normally have:

Weight lifting straps.
iPod Shuffle and headphones.
Padlock (for the gym lockers).
HRM and chest strap.
Gym Boss timer.

And that's it! Water I have to carry in separately, as it won't fit.

I workout in the morning and shower at the gym - they provide hair dryers, shower towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I wear workout clothes to the gym...

Clothes that I'll wear to work that day (including shoes, accessories)
Makeup
Toiletries like comb, straightener, bar soap, razor, etc
Miscellaneous rubber bands, safety pins, headbands
Sweat towel
Extra pair of ankle socks
Gym shorts and shoes (I wear pants and boots to the gym now that it is cold and snowing)
Inhaler
Foot/ankle brace
Cliff bar in case I need to eat ASAP
iPod, headphones
HRM and watch

I think that is it but I feel like there is so much more in there!

I always have in my gym bag:
-shower bag, loaded with shampoo, conditioner, razor, mouthwash and toothbrush/paste. (my gym supplies soap and towels)
-small bag with sunscreen/moisturizer, deodorant, a little face powder
-extra diapers for baby at the gym daycare
-every morning I pack a clean outfit to change into after showering
-extra ponytail holders

if I'm doing yoga, I wear flip-flops there, if I'm doing anything else, I'll wear the apt shoes and just bring shoes to wear with my outfit after showering.
If I'm on the treadmill, I'll usually toss my Kindle in, to read.

That's about it! In the summer, I always have an extra swimsuit and undies, as well as extra swimsuits and undies for my 3 kids, as well as sunscreen (our gym has an outdoor pool, too).
