    my mp3 player with my favorite radio station on it. IF my batteries die then I lose motivation and focus.

    A way to log my weights. Whether that's an app on my phone or a pencil and paper, I need it.

    Same. Just feels like I'm wasting my time if I don't have a target to beat for each set.

    One only? Just one? Man... Okay. My phone. Mainly for taking notes and music listening. HRM is really close too.

    Agree. My gym normally plays ok music but on the days I forget headphones they always forget to turn it on. I hate it!!

    Shorts/pants. Not that I really care, but I get fewer charges pressed that way.

    Phone for music and the day's training plan, water bottle, after-workout protein shake and chalk.

    A thousand times yes-- headphones!! I cannot CANNOT stand the sounds of loud, loud talking, body gossip, creaky machines, or silly pick up lines... I also need whatever book I am currently reading ;) But I guess I could do without that if I HAD to :P

    A towel. I sweat. A lot. So it's necessary for my comfort lol. And my notebook where I keep track of my run times & workouts.

    If I'm doing longer distance running, then I like to have my iPod to tune things out.

    Edit: Oh, you said just one. Then I'll go with the towel lol.

    Motivation

    Best answer, we all will NOT get to the gym without motivation!

    Assuming I have arrived at the gym with my ID and workout clothes:
    1) I use headphones when I am doing cardio. All our cardio/elliptical machines have TV's with plug ins.
    2) Weightlifting gloves. My wife does not like calluses on my hands.
    3) Water Bottle. I suck down water after every lift or about every 4-5 minutes when doing cardio.

    Gym provides sweat and shower towels.

    Headphones ... not because of the things you named (although annoying) but because I dont want to hear myself stuggle, or the sound the tredmil is making as if its going to die under the pressure

    Im sure you dont sound that bad :)

    If anything it would be the sound of some idiot getting killed by weights cause he is trying to lift more than he knows he can to impress someone >.>

    OK now that I think about it more SHOES!!!!!!! I went to the gym today in slippers and had to turn back and get them (luckily I work out in my building) it was annoying
