    iPod is a must! Your favourite upbeat tunes will keep you motivated and energised!
    A bottle of water is also a must.
    Flip flops for the showers.

    Enjoy!

    I don't have a gym bag.
    LOL
    I take a towel to wipe the sweat off my head, a bottle of water and my Ipod. None of this is in a bag though. :)

    Towel, flip flops, Ipod, blow dryer, brush, and I have also found my gym bag is the best home for all those little samples of shampoo, conditioners, lotions, etc that I get in the mail:)

    Gum...It keeps me distracted during long runs.
    Extra headphones.....last year during a 10 mile run my headphones broke. I now pack a spare pair so I don't have to finish a big run without!

    I have a locker at the gym but I still carry a spare pair of knickers, hair brush, anti-chafe lotion, hair bands, lip balm, water bottle, written work out schedule(s) drawn up by my PT, and locker key. If I am swimming then I also bring my cosi.

    Would normally usually include my i-pod but left it at home :sad: which leaves me at the mercy of gym users trying to start a conversation with me :noway:

    My gym bag currently has:

    -running shoes/socks
    -workout clothes
    -clothes (and underwear) to change into after I shower
    -flip flops
    -shampoo/conditioner/face wash/body wash
    -ipod
    -hair brush
    -9 million pony tail holders and bobby pins
    -serum I put on my hair after I towel dry it
    -lotion
    -chapstick
    -deodorant
    -body glide

    I have my water bottle/pre-workout snack with me ahead of time, and then I usually grab a protein shake at the gym when I'm done with my work out!

    Oh, and thought I'd add, if your gym doesn't provide locks for the lockers (mine does, but I know several that don't), you'll need to grab one of those.

    I have found the best thing to do is change into your work out clothes.

    Bring a plastic bag or a designated stink bag to put your post work out clothes in that.

    Bring your clothes you plan on wearing after the work out on a hanger including shirt/ pants / dress whatever floats your boat.

    I have a back pack that has two pockets so dirty work out clothes go in one and clean clothes/ shower towel/ work out towel goes in another.

    I have developed quite a process since starting to shower at the gym a few weeks ago. It involves me never touching the floor with bare feet and being as clean freakish as humanely possible.

    Water bottle, iPhone, arm band.

    I drive to and from the gym in my workout clothes like a sweaty mess, and shower at home (fortunately it's only a five minute drive!).
