    knee-high socks
    lifting shoes
    belt
    ball of chalk in a ziplock bag
    lifting notebook & pen

    I thought I was the only one that still used pen & paper for my lifting!

    I recommend lifting heavier, unless it's a whole lot of paper.

    I hear 10 lb reams of paper are pretty heavy. They're probably like 15 lbs or more

    My gym itself is what's in my "gym bag." I carry a small durable nylon drawstring bag in my backpack whenever I plan on leaving the house for more than a few hours at a time because the way I see it the world is my gym and I don't like attaching a schedule to my workouts. In my "gym in a bag" (the nylon drawstring bag) you will find: A suspension trainer, my Polar HRM chest strap+transmitter, a jump rope, a change of workout clothes, a tub of pre-workout mix (I always carry my shaker cup as a water bottle anyway), and a small towel. If the mood strikes me I will find a place that has an overhead point to attach the suspension trainer, an elevated platform of some sort to use as a plyo box (could be a park bench), and a place to change, and get to work.

    What's a SUSPENSION TRAINER? I have an idea you rig it from a tree branch and do - I don't know - pullups, core work? Please tell.

    I don't feel like listing all the stuff- so I'll just tell you the clever one, thanks to one of my MFP friends.

    I keep a little bottle of peppermint oil in my bag and put a very small dab under my nose before working out. It keeps me from smelling other people. It's awesome!
    Gotta try this! It is funky in there!

    Oh wow - what an AWESOME idea. My biggest problem with smelling though is being choked by people's spray perfumes and deodorants next to me on the machines - does the peppermint oil counter that?

    I don't know. If the smell itself is what bothers you, maybe. If you have allergies to the airborne aromatics, probably not.
