Gym Bag Basics

Tired of lugging a suitcase worth of stuff with you to the gym?
Here are my necessities:


Lightweight Bag
Make sure it's big enough to fit everything you need, but also able to fit in a locker. Also, compartments make it easier to keep your items organized!



Combination Lock
Just to be on the safe side, but it's always comforting to know your personal items are secure!

Sugar-free Gum
Chewing gum keeps me focused and on track!

Magazine
Health & Fitness magazines have awesome "how-to's" to try! Read them cover-cover and before you know it you'll already have an hour of cardio down!


Water Bottle 
Hydration is an essential part of your workout. Finish it & fill it up again!



iPod
Constantly keep your workout playlist updated! My #1 motivator at the gym is good music :)










Makeup Kit
Always on the go? Make it easy on yourself and get ready for your next appointment at the gym! Carry a few of your must-haves with you to be prepared and on schedule.




Extra Hair-Ties 
There is NOTHING worse than forgetting a hair-tie! Solution? Keep a whole pack with you to avoid that problem! *The "Ouchless" are less likely to break :)

Shampoo/Body Wash 
I love Philosophy's all in one formulas. They smell amazing and will save you space in your bag!


Flip-Flops
There's nothing better than a sauna visit post-workout. Change out of your sneakers and slip into flip-flops to avoid splinters from the wood :)

Towel/Shammy
These ulta-absorbant towels are great! Swimmers on my High School team used them to soak up water. They are extremely durable and machine washable.







Snack
Re-fuel after your intense workout with something easy and transportable! Especially for "always-on-the-go" types, keep your energy level up with packing nourishing items.







Hope these things amp up your next gym visit! :)
