I go right after work so I have my protein shake powder in a mixing cup in the car along with a water bottle. ( I hope the 20 degree temps does not leave me with an ice cube!) I also lock my wallet and phone in the car when I go into the gym so my bag is pretty light...
Shorts
T-shirt
Sneakers
Headphones
The stinkiest sweatshirt you will ever find...0 -

- hand towel for sweat
- gym outfit (pants, shirt, sports bra)
- gym shoes
- hair brush
- ponytail holder
- water bottle
- ipod
I also have spinning shoes, but those stay in the car in their own box since I only use them once a week.
The cell phone doesn't come in with me because I wouldn't be able to talk on it/wouldn't want to talk on it, anyway......
(I also shower at home.)0 -
shoes
sparring gloves
stop watch
mp3
water bottle
yoga strap

I shower at home so, now that it is winter, my bag contains:
-running shoes
-socks
-gym shorts
-two bras
-tank top
-iPod and headphones
-hair tie
-lotion
-chapstick
-HRM
-water bottle
-a shirt to throw over my sweaty clothes before I put on my jacket
- sweat pants to put on after my workout0 -
I don't usually take a gym bag.. Maybe I should start bringing a bag of stuff with me to work so I can go straight to the gym after work instead of getting home to "change" and letting the laziness get the best of me.. GOOD POST!!!! Way to get me thinking!
If I were to have a gym bag this is what it would contain:
Running Shoes
Socks
Workout Clothes
Water Bottle
Towel
I shower at home so no shower essentials for this girl!!!0 -
my husband
lol i was thinking the same thing. Also that the bag must be either very large and heavy, or he is very tiny and could fit in her pocket! :-)0 -
Wow... so I am feeling like I need to put more stuff in my bag. Some of the stuff that is in there is only there because I used the bag on the last vacation I went on and decided it would be useful at the gym too...lol
I have the clothes that I am going to wear that day at the gym, as well as the shoes and socks.
Deoderant and perfume.
There are earbuds in there but I rarely use them.
I think that is it. I wear my bodybugg the days I am going to the gym so it doesn't need to be in the bag.0 -

Safety Pins-cmon runners you KNOW you have em
ok i have to know....what's the safety pins for??? and why would a runner deny having them?
I don't know why she has them, but I'm a runner and I have safety pins in my gym bag because they're left over from races. They give you safety pins to attach your race number to your clothes. After a race I usually just take my number off and throw everything in my gym bag...hence the safty pins.0 -

I know what they're there for but...
a) I use a race number belt cos I don't like piercing my kit
and
b) I wouldn't take my whole gym bag with me when I'm racing! :huh:0 -

This is part of why I work out at home now. I don't like carrying all that stuff around. Now, I have the whole house at my disposal. I have all the water I can drink, tons of towels, all my equipment is clean, I have all the toiletries you can think of, and tons of clean socks.0

Usually I just bring myself, my ipod and a bottle of water
if I'm going swimming i'll bring a towel,swimming costume and goggles. I hate communal showers so i'll usually just have a shower the minute I get home.
I bought my hair straighteners to the gym before but that was when I was in college and used to pop to the gym on my free's , I used to have like a 4 hour free on a monday and the college I went to was like an hour and 15 minutes from my house so even though I had a free bus pass there was no point going home because i'd just have to head back in an hour.
So i used to go the gym but my hair would get super messy so i was like 'hey i'll bring my straightners, and my makeup' because make up+ sweaty me doesn't go well together.0 -
