What do you keep in your gym bag?

ellenjean19

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to put together a gym bag to keep in my car so I can go straight to the gym after work instead of stopping at home and just saying "screw it" to the gym all together and i was just wondering what some of you guys keep in your gym bags?

Work out clothes are kind of a no brainer but anything small or something you wouldn't normally think to keep in a gym bag?

Me personally - Fresh clothes for after, towel, weight lifting gloves and straps, water bottle, deodorant, dencorub cream & a couple of painkillers in case of emergency injury.

Workout clothes, sox, shoes. Change of clothes. Hairbrush, toothbrush/paste, scrunchie, lots of water, painkillers, towel large and small, lotion. Pretty much the basics.

I keep my gym bag stocked with 2 days worth of clothes, towels, socks, etc plus iPod and yummy smelling body wash and deodorant that I only use after a work out.

Spare empty water bottle, notebook, pen, mp3 player, sweatband, length of heavy garden chain (perhaps it's to add weight... or perhaps it's to do ninja stuff... who knows :huh: ).

Shampoo/Conditioner in one, towel, energy bar, hairbrush, anti-chafing body stick (if I'm planning a long run), flip flops, extra hair bands/bobby pins, chapstick, and empty water bottle to fill. Gym pass/wor-out plan, deo, emergenzy inhaler.... and clothes, of course, but I swap those out every workout.

so. hairbrush, deodorant, a t-shirt (preferably clean), socks (clean of course unless I want someone killed), then my protection equipment (grappling gloves, boxing bands and shin protection but this is not general).
The soap etc I can find it in the gym and I prefer showering at home. Otherwise a pair of plastic slippers to shower with them and a lightweight towel, shampoo and showering gel testers from my preferred brand. When I buy the big ones for home usually bag for testers (I used this when going to the pool).
And depending on the workout maybe a banana and an empty bottle (0.75 lt). I have a very good fountain just in front of the gym so I avoid buying water and charring it. Just the plastic bottle.

I do this for after uni and I try and keep something motivational or inspirational... For example, at the moment I have a picture of the hair cut I want when I reach my goal weight, as well as extra bits and pieces, like my boxing gloves and a nice snack as a reward! Good Luck!

well for me since I'm female. I packed when I get in from work for the next morning then shower at the gym and go to work. I keep:
Deorderant, Powder, Curling Iron (including hair care products), Lotion, Towels, Shower Shoes, Robe (for after shower), Female Products (for emergencies, lol), Make-up, Undergarments, Jewerly, Water Bottle, Toothbush, and Toothpaste, Change of clothes (for work), Shoes, My Nook (to listen to Pandora Radio, Headphone, Cell Phone. Did I forget anything? ROFL. I have a bag that rolls.

Hopefully this list can be shorten in two weeks when lockers come open. I leave home in my workout clothes and HRM. This is things I need to get ready to go to work after my workout.

Flixie00

My gym supplies me with a locker and washes my kit for me, so I just keep my protein shaker, a pair of knickers, and a bottle of water in my gym bag.

amelie2011

Towel and gum.

opuntia

Towel, swimsuit, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, face wash, body spray, glasses case, clean change of clothes.

I actually don't have specific gym clothes - I wear a vest top, black microfleece trousers, and trainers to work, and I work out after work, wearing the same clothes.

hughtwalker

T-Shirt with a pocket (for my I-pod)
Shorts (swimming trunk style)
fresh underpants
spare earphones
Flannel (washcloth) - doubles as a sweat-rag in the gym
HRM (chest strap and wrist band)
Weight-lifting gloves
£1 coin for the locker
Antacid tablets
Pain killers (analgesic tablets)
Bottle of water
Trainers (sneakers, training shoes)
A comb
Shower gel (in case the dispensers have run out - AGAIN!)
gym membership card (but they usually let me in when I've lost it 'cos I treat so many of the staff and they know me)
and
a long-handled shoe horn (arthritic knees and metal hips - so YOU probably won't need this)

I know, I know! - it's a feat of exercise just getting this lot to the gym

- I forgot the towel (again)

Well, since I live about 1.5 mile from my gym, I like to walk there and back, especially considering I've got time on my side. I've never been keen on using public showers (gym, hospital, etc.) so I carry with me a 32oz bottle of water, a towel, my wallet, keys, chapstick (I hate having chapped lips) - and now that the weather will be getting a lot cooler - a dry shirt to wear home until I can hop in the shower.

My gym id tag on a lanyard with a padlock. A small towel for wiping sweat off my face. Earbuds. Facial cleansing wipes. Protein bar if I felt hungry after. Water bottle. Tampons, because my gym locker room amazingly didn't have a tampon vending machine.
