    I go to work after the gym, so my bag is overflowing...
    Toiletries bag - toothbrush and toothpaste, soap, deodorant, hairbrush, a few tampons
    Clothes for the day - at the moment it's winter, so tights, skirt or dress, top, something warm to go under the top, something warm to go over the top. Boots left in the car to change into in the street.
    Sweat towel
    Light-weight bath towel
    Drink bottle
    Little blue book and pen (how I track the workouts)
    Usually spare pair of socks just hanging around!

    After the workout - all the towels above, all the workout gear I got sweated up and the toiletries bag. Drink bottle. Runners after I change into my bots in the street (unless its raining, in which case the boots go into the gym with me and I struggle with all the crap I carry!!)

    Hmm, I don't carry a gym bag (yet). I generally just carry in my phone with earbuds and a bottle of water. My gym provides towels. I log everything on my phone and as such can refer to it as to where I've been, where I'm at, and where I'm going next.

    The Times Atlas of World History
    This reminded me of my ex boyfriend's face when I took a huge encyclopedia from our bookshelf to do elevated deadlifts. "Are you going to read it?" "Uh, not really, no." He facepalmed.

    lol the Times Atlas of World History is perfect for that kind of thing, in that it's large, hard backed and slab-like. :drinker:

    I workout on my lunch so I have to go back to work after, so I bring....

    Makeup bag filled with deodorant, hair brush, concealer, eyliner, lipgloss, misc
    Extra clothes
    ipod with arm band

    My gym supplies towels, lotions and blow dryers so I don't have to bring my own.
