    a small gym bag.... but only for my towel, weight lifting gloves and water.. oh and to hold my phone. I go ready to workout and have a thing about showering at a gym.

    when it was warmer I would change at work and go to the gym ready to work out, so neither. Now that's it's colder, I take my bag to the gym to change, then store it in a locker.

    i should probably consider bringing a bag... because i carry all sorts of stuff.

    the towel, the phone, the headphones, the water, the spare water, the keys...


    i just feel stupid doing that considering it's the gym at my apartment complex lol.

    Both on work days because I carry a lot of valuables into the gym. I just carry around one of those nylon gym bags or just my water/ipod/towel on days when I come from home. I leave my phone, wallet in the car.

    Both. I put my stuff in the bag, and then the bag in the locker when I get there. I'd hate to carry the bag around the gym with me, plus they don't allow any type of bags in the gym area. I suppose somebody might walk out with a stack of dumbells :tongue:

    I feel weird.....nothing new about that....lol

    At my gym I am the only person (that I have seen and I have gone at many different times through out the week) that carries a gym bag, there are others that carry small lil bags (mostly old ladies carrying what looks like a make-up bag). I have my towel, my water, my keys, my wallet, my tanning lotion, flip flops, gloves, chap stick, a pen and paper in it. I also have a lock in my bag so that I can use one of the lockers, but I have yet to use one. I guess because I know myself and I don't want to have to carry my chap-stick (I'm addicted to it), water, towel and phone around. So it's like my gym bag takes the place of my purse.

    :D Yeah, I'm the cool kid at my gym!

    My gym is across the street, so I carry all of my gear over in a bag at lunch, then stash it in my locker. I've been doing this for years now....and I have yet to bathe before returning to work! Smell my glorious stench cube jockeys!

    Beginning to use the lockers. It is so much easier to have JUST my iPod with me. Everything else gets put away.

    I use one of those nylon bags that you get for free at sporting or college events when I don't use a locker. They're really small. Do you need to bring your wallet in? Wehave cubbies in the main room so I tend to put my stuff in there if I'm doing weights and will be moving around. If someone really wants an old US Weekly and a sweaty towel....go for it.

    Neither. My gym is so close to my flat it's practically an en suite! It's about 50 metres. So I occasionally wear a jumper/jacket, but no bag as I don't need one. It's great, and it guilts me into going when I don't want to as I see it from my kitchen window. Like now...
