Gym bags?

nnylee

I have been using this nike gym sack ( http://www.amazon.com/Nike-Brasilia-Sack-Pack-Pink/dp/B005525JBS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326521936&sr=8-1 ) for awhile now.

But it's starting to break from overuse and it's time for a new bag. I don't really like the look of it because it's just so, "I'm going to the gym, obviously." I would prefer something more subtle for every day use.

What do you guys use to go to the gym?

I have this oversize purse I use..
I have so many, I'm a purse person.
I used to use a bag like that, my sister took it. Never to be seen again.

I use a cute tote that i got as a gift. It is basic, kelly green and has my initials monogrammed on it. It's perfect size and doesn't scream "GYM!" It is washable too

I wouldn't mind a tote bag, but the only problem is I can't find any with zippers. I really want it to be able to clothes. In case I fall and everything won't tumble out!

I have a lot of purses, but they're all leather. And since I'm going to the gym, I want it to be washable??

I have that bag and it works well. If you store a lot of stuff in it, I'd upgrade to the medium bag.

They're cute, but the problem with those kinds of duffle bags, they're kind of like, GYM BAGS. I am lookin' for something a bit more subtle. Thanks though!!

I use a Vera Bradley large tote.

ETA: It does have a zipper.

I have a canvas Rebecca Minkoff tote with lots of zippers that I use:

But I got it for much less, and in dark green. It works great and it's good quality. The top snaps shut and there are lots of pockets for little things. It also can be used as an everyday bag, and probably washed if it gets stinky (I put my shoes in plastic bags to prevent this).

Oh wow! That is super cute!! I want it! That is my future gym bag!!

That is super cute, but very not affordable for a gym bag, since I'd throw it around and wash it a lot. But it's really cute for a normal bag~!

I use a large tote bag that I got as a gift at Victoria's Secret for spending x amount of money a couple of Christmases ago... lol

My wife likes to use one of the Longchamp Le Pliage bag. It is deceptively big inside, sturdy and looks nice.

I literally just ordered one from REI.com. It's called the Women's REI Balance Gym Bag. I found it on livestrong's list of best gym bags haha. I got it because it has a strap for a yoga mat too, which I reallly wanted!

Here's the link for it:

That is super super cute, but I'm not sure I can justify a gym bag for $60. My budget is $30 or maybe $40 if it's an amazing bag.
