What's the worst thing you forgot to take to the gym?
I had an epic day of forgetfulness at the gym. I normally avoid showering at the gym after my workouts, but today I had an appointment so I packed my clothes, makeup and my blow dryer (because the blow dryers at the gym are pretty worthless). What I did not pack:
1. A bra. :noway: Sweaty workout bra reused.
2. Deodorant. :sad: Really? Sweaty workout bra and now NO deodorant. Gaaah.
3. A brush. :grumble: Yeah. Not a good look. Powerful blow dryer, finger combed hair.

My inhaler. Not the best thing to forget, especially when you've got bad asthma.0

~ My Phone ~ Longest workout ever !!! SMH ! Sad, but true. :huh:0

I forgot my bra today too!! I was like, "really...???" Thankfully I brought a really tight cami that I could've gotten away with all day (I'm a size A...) but I knew I had a long meeting in the afternoon so I ran to Target by my work to pick one up.
@JeepersMister - forgetting the inhaler would be awful

Honestly, a sweat rag. I am the SWEATIEST individual and the red in my hair stains and drips and it's gross.0
-
Socks. And I attempted running. . . I had blisters for weeks.0
-
Socks, but unlike the poster above me I did NOT do the workout that day without them.
My headphones, also. Long workout.
A few times, my phone has died during a workout, which is just as annoying.0 -
My iPod. There's nothing more motivating than the ragged breathing and intermittent farts of other gym members. :grumble:0

I have actually left when my headphones died on my iPod... yeah
Not going to be at a gym without music... I don't want to listen to people I don't want to be distracted by the gym-stupidity0 -

I forgot to mention my gym plays 80s pop in the background. "Let's get physssical!" :noway:0 -
iPod definitely...I can't work out without it0
-
A shirt. Luckily I had a swimsuit and a towel in my gym bag.
When I realized I'd forgotten my shirt I blurted out "F&^K!" in the locker room. Then I blushed.0 -
My inhaler. 0

Myself. Been leaving myself on the couch for the last 10-15 years. On the upside, at least I never have to wonder why I'm fat.0
-
chapstick
socks
water bottle/no cash.
ugh.0 -
A towel. And I didn't realize until I was already in the the shower. ><0
-
Gotta go with underwear on this one. I promise I was wearing some when I went in! Did a hard run on the treadmill, hit the showers, reach into my gym bag for fresh clothes and realize....oops, didn't bring a second pair to change into for work. Yes, there are times it's best to go commando. Just sayin!0
-
My MP3 player. Especially for cardio. I hate doing cardio without my music. Lifting isn't bad without it, but cardio, I NEED my Salsa, House, Dance, and Merengue music to keep me moving!0
-
Not quite the gym but still workout related....I cycled 28km to work, hit the shower and was getting dressed when I realised I didn't have a clean pair of knickers. Felt gross all day.0
-
Underwear to change into after my shower!0
-
At different times, from the worst to not-so-bad:
1) Sweat towel
2) Water bottle
3) Seat towel for my car - had to recline the seat back and use a paper bag on the seat bottom.
4) Ear phones0 -

My shorts... Had to run to Target to buy a pair.0

I usually tend to remember everything since I don't bring much to begin with.. However I have forgotten to charge my cell phone and end up working out to a phone that's about to die halfway through.0

Extra underwear to change0
-
Myself....I hate when I forget myself at home0
-
- Water (because of the pants sized little cups in gym)
- My inhaler if it's cold, it distracts me if I can't breath properly
- Vaseline, I always get halfway through on the elliptical and then realize my lips are starting to get really dry, and it sucks!0 -
