What's the worst thing you forgot to take to the gym?

Underwear to change into after my workout and swim. I do a 2k swim after my workout everyday, and had to put on my sweaty panties and sports bra to go home in! AAARRGGG! And twice I've forgotten my crocks and had to put my sweaty gym socks and trainers on again (in fact that happened today)! :noway:0

went one day wearing my HRM watch but forgot to put on the chest strap, 2 days later did the same but the opposite way, had chest strap on, no watch. d'oh.
other things in no order;
bursh
owel
bra
knickers
top to wear after shower
padlock for locker
shampoo
I now have my gym bag prepped with bra, knickers, padlock, trainers, socks, brush & a full shower kit, that way I only have to add the days clothes. It helps to get organised & have somethings in duplicate.0 -
ohhh yeh I forgot my shoes once and had to work out in my Vans and my feet killed for a week0

a lock for the locker. I hate changing to shorts in the midfle of winter and realizing I can either run out to the car in a snowstorm extremely underdressed to lock up my wallet/phone/swiss army knife, or do my workout with pockets loaded with annoying crap.0

Music. If my battery dies and I don't have a replacement on me I'm outta there. I'd rather not workout than do a half-azzed one with no heart or drive. IN certain instances, there's usually TV to replace it but it isn't nearly as motivating as music is. Someone to talk to usually helps pass the time, but sometimes I'm alone in the gym - quite often in fact (my gym is in a hospital, and surprisingly it's not crowded.... who'da thunk it?)
And through no fault of my own, when the manager at the gym forgets to put out water cups. Then I'm desperate, but can usually manage to last til I am done and can go into the bathroom and drink out of the tap in cupped hands. I have two gyms I can go to, and only one of the gym bags I keep at each facility has a container for water in case there are no cups out- I should probably fix that, huh?0 -

This is exactly what I do - I have my backpack pre-packed for the gym with everything I need - some in duplicate. As soon as I use something, I immediately replace it when I get home. My day gym has towel service now so that solved the towel problem.0 -
I went to my first class in ages. Really it was my first time in a gym in ages too. I wasn't prepared but I was pretty darn committed to finally taking the plunge.
1. I can't hear well and read lips so I gotta be front and center. Not the best place to be if you aren't prepared.
2. I can't wear tennis shoes and while I now have an alternative, I haven't figured it all out. But this day I wore LOAFERS. I was taking ZUMBA!
3. I didn't have a sports bra or even an appropriate figure hugging, keep the girls in, gym shirt. My bra strap kept sliding down.
4. I wore a loose V-neck shirt. Between that and my bra slipping constantly, it was a tad embarrassing. Too bad the instructor wasn't a guy. He would have enjoyed that.
5. I did not have water with me. So I kept running to get some in the hallway then having to cross in front of the instructor to get back in place.
6. I didn't have hair clips and my over grown bangs were giving me the fits.
7. I didn't bring stuff to take a shower after. I could manage to go home like that but I had apparently an exercise induced sneezing attack and it took a bit to calm down enough to drive home and only after I got into the bath did it fully calm down. Hmm...
Oh geez.
But I'm going back... this time, hopefully I am more prepared.0 -
Chalk.
No straps or belts in my session.0 -
A shirt and a bra to to change into after my workout. Luckily my gym is in the same building as Target!0

My gym has towels but they charge 1 pound for them & they are the size of a hand towel, would barely cover my boob let alone the rest of me. lol0

One day I forgot my lock for my locker. When I went into the gym after my workout my purse was missing. I went up to the front desk to tell them someone stole my purse and they had it behind the counter. Somebody found it in the bathroom stall. When I looked through it I realized someone had emptied it out and threw everything back in, and taken my last $20 to boot. That same night a teeage girl came running out to the front desk crying that somebody had stolen her purse. We went into the locker room and found her purse in a locker across the room. But she has $300 stolen from her purse. I've never left my purse unlocked again. That poor girl was hysterical!0

Bra....being 36DD and wearing a regular bra to work out in just doesnt work. Needless to say I didnt stay very long.0
-
My gym shoes. Hurr durr derp. #ClearlyNotThinking0
-
Definitely a bra. What's worse is I didn't even realize it until I got on the track and started jogging and I thought "something feels weird..." Since I had come straight from class, I was wearing a regular lacy underwire. NOT fun to try and workout in.. I just walked for a longer time instead of trying to run.0
-
1 shoe. Not both. Only realized after I was all dresses and ready to hit the treadmill.0
-
Ear Buds... but I got a pair at the Dollar Tree next door. They sucked, but not as suck as being on a treadmill and NOT being able to watch Ellen!0
-
At one point or another, I've forgotten pretty much everything.
Socks
Underwear
Shirt
Towel
Chapstick
Ipod
Water bottle
.... Some items are a deal breaker, I've had to go back home and get them, or I just buy new quickly (chapstick or socks)0 -
underwear when I just swam (as I tend to go with my bathing suit underneath my clothes)
bathing suit when I intend on only swimming
pants...to work out in...seriously
sigh and lol! fun post!0 -
My shirt. Definitely not ready to work out in just a sports bra. Thank goodness my house is only 5 mins away.0

I couldn't do it. I can run outside without music, but I can't run on the treadmill with out TV. It is just too boring.0 -
my entire gym bag *facepalm*0
-
My gym is in one of the buildings at work, I used to go before work and I lived 45 minutes away. Got there, parked my car and realized I had forgotten my entire bag. I had nothing to shower with and no clothes to wear to work.0
-
Just last week I forgot to bring my towel to the pool. Grr. Had to dry off with my shirt and wear my coat out with nothing on under it, all creepy flasher style.
Other than that, though, I have forgotten to take to the gyme my shoes (which meant no workout) and my headphones (which meant the most boring workout ever.)
Hate it when I forgot my *kitten*!0 -
iPod is the worst because nothing like doing cardio with no tunes
I've forgotten my shoes a couple of times but I still lifted....with my tank top, shorts....and brown dressy shoes on :P 0 -
A hair tie! Considering how much hair I have this is a must!:laugh:
I have to admit one time I had two different shoes too. Luckily one for each foot so I wore them anyway! lol0 -
Headphones. Workout with no music = brutal.
ETA: Forgetting a water bottle is the second worst, but that's at least manageable.0 -
My running shoes. Having to get back in my car and go home because of my stupidity was unforgetable
I also am in big trouble when I forget my sweat towel - I'm sweaty 0 -
My whole gym bag!!! Went to Old Navy and got a cheap pair of shorts and shirt. Thanks goodness it was Casual Friday and I had walking shoes and white socks on!0
-
...running shoes. I once went to the gym straight after work...so I was dressed in heels...opened my gym bag and realized that I had forgotten to pack my running shoes!!
So ya, needless to say no workout happened that day! LOL
this happened to me the other day, except I had ONE running shoe in my bag. Fortunately for my workout, I got back into my street clothes and shoes and went out to the car and found the other shoe under the seat...geez...0 -
A hair tie...ugh...hair so in the way...0
