    Workout at home too, so no "gym" bag... though I carry a backpack when I hike. That has snacks, water pouch, first aid kit, knife, pepper spray, waterproof cell pouch, hat and gloves (depending on time of year), emergency poncho, flashlight, emergency whistle, printed map of the route (easier to read than on phone), bug spray... from the top of my head

    Ugh, looking at that list, I feel like an overgrown boy scout, but better safe than sorry! Trust me, I often take 8+ mile hikes, so it pays to be prepared. Plus any extra weight in my pack adds to the weight loss effect... ;-)

    Your pack sounds great. You should check out the show 'Survivorman' if you have not yet. The more prepared the better!

    Oh man my bag is filled with so much crap. A pair of running shoes and a pair of lifters, weight belt, wrist wraps, thumb protectors, shin compression sleeves, KT tape, gymnastics grips, spare socks, spare tights, a speed rope, a ped egg, ear buds, collars, water and a bunch of snacks. I really like snacks.

    First off I'm generally brand agnostic but my gym bag is a Nike I've been using since my aunt gave it to me in 1992. Apparently its unable to be killed. I keep thinking "eh, maybe I'll buy a new bag" but I never do because I'm pretty sure it won't last nearly as long as this one.

    In my gym bag full time:

    Soap, shampoo, deodorant, comb, hair stuff, 2 sets of straps, 3 sets of earbuds, 1 possibly working mp3 player, 1 working mp3 player, notebook, 3 pens, short foam roller, lacrosse ball, extra belt (regular belt for when I inevitably forget one for work).

    Transient stuff: towels, work shoes, work clothes, etc.

    Clean clothes & everyday shoes, towel, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, moisturiser, makeup, deodorant, hair ties, straighteners, hair brush, snack (all my bags have an emergency snack in), water, headphones, socks, swipe card for the locker.
    I usually go to the gym in the morning before work, hence I need ALL THE THINGS to make myself presentable after.

    Leggings, sports bra and top, sport socks, trainers, travel sized hair conditioner and shower gel, flip flops, a towel, deodorant. My comb, lipgloss and lock are already a permanent fixture in my handbag. Luckily hairdriers are available at the gym. I usually just put everything for the gym in a cloth bag, it's a bit more hygenic since I can wash the bag with the rest of the laundry.

    What actually gets carried around with me is clothes and makeup.

    My actual gym bag stays at the gym and is packed full of all my lifting gear. Squat shoes, converse, a couple pairs of socks just in case. Inzer belt, wrist wraps, lacrosse balls. Preworkout and bcaas, a water bottle that gets changed out every couple days. Candy. Always candy. And the newest addition is a bench blok so I'm not always grabbing help for board work.
