What’s everyone’s gym OCD’s?

I’m obsessed with my stuff being arranged properly to the point where I now have 4 smaller bags inside my main gym bag...oh & have to use disposable plastic bags for my towel & gym clothes after use to avoid making my bag moist & smelly...

    Not sure I consider putting dirty sweaty clothes in a plastic bag ocd, but I do that too. I always considered it just not being gross.

    The closest thing I have is that I double check the weight on both sides to ensure I'm not lopsided. There was an incident once...

    My bag is gross. I need at least 3 pairs of shoes to train right. There's chalk all up in my bag. Everything from packets of instant coffee to preworkouts, inzer belt, for some reason a neon fanny pack...*kitten* falling out everywhere.

    As a morning lifter, I get a full workout re-racking night lifters weights.

    Real OCD. I have to move gym equipment completely parallel to the manufactured seams of the gym mats.

    I have a home gym, and I would say my OCD is I never leave a disk on a bar, I always put everything away after use - I mean it's not like it would upset or inconvenience anyone, because it's my gym in my house and I'm the only member, but I still religiously put everything back as it should be after every use - it's the tidiest room in our house.

    Oh and I don't allow anyone in that room without MY supervision ... It's MY space and I will protect it no matter what :D:D:D

    When I get out of the shower & go to the drying area, I remove my flip flops & stand them up next to a bench so they can drain off as I dry myself. This ensures they won’t create a potential moisture problem as I pack them away into my bag

    Yeah, me too. All my shower toiletries go into a Ziploc baggie that I have snipped on the bottom so the water drains out. Then the bag has it's own towel to wipe down with and is stored in another waterproof bag to prevent any moisture getting into the gym bag. BTW those big purse organizers you see on TV, do incredible things in a gym bag!

    I use those exfoliation gloves instead of a wash clothes, have a turbine twist for my wet hair, and instead of a towel I have a terry body wrap. This provides for a lot more room than bulky towels.

    I’m very much liking the sound of this girl

    that seems like a lot of work.

    Instead, I just go outside and do this:
