    Might have to start using a gym bag before I decide what I need in it.

    Not much besides the essentials. I do keep a pair of gloves for the rowing machine. It was ripping up my palms before I started using them.

    My little hand towel to cover up the cardio machine calorie tracker so I don't stare at it. Water. 1000 extra batteries for my mp3 player.

    Really just depends if you're changing when you get there, showering there after, etc. If I'm coming from work and changing there it's mostly just clothes.. tank, workout capris, sneakers, socks, sports bra, headband and hair tie, deoderant, small towel, lock, phone and earbuds, water.

    I don't do anything intricate at the gym that requires additional stuff. The only other things I could ever imagine needing would be a yoga mat and boxing gloves if I was going to a class that didn't provide those.

    I go from the office so everything

    To keep from screwing up my workout day, I keep a backup of workout clothes in my back seat.

    Water bottle, towel, MP3 player, banana, caffeine. Reserve carbs. Pen and training record. Rowing seat pad. I feel very out of sorts if I dont have all of these as its part of my routine.

    @jruzer You will find your skin toughens up after a while. You might have to get past a few blisters. Most people dont row long enough for it to be an issue.

    Water, pretty much always. Otherwise, depends on the activity.

    For spin class, add shoes, towel, sweatband for my head (I sweat *buckets*), chapstick, gel seat cover.

    For rowing on water, add hat, tiny fanny pack (boathouse key, chapstick, foot-stretcher tool, cloth for sweat-wiping), Garmin Forerunning & Strokecoach.

    For indoor rowing, add notebook/pen, seat pad.

    For lifting, add notebook/pen, towel or sweatband, maybe gloves.
