Wondering what those gym bags you keep seeing are full of? Dedicated fitness enthusiasts know what it’s like to hit the gym and pump some destructive iron; they carry with them the necessary gear for their planned workout seshes. But not everyone is born a pro. We’ve listed below 10 things you should keep in your gym bags.

Shoes

Comfortable and firm shoes must go in your gym bag the first thing. Many trainers will tell you that shoes are not only good for balancing but also for posture. Invest in good quality shoes and take them to the gym every day.

Headphones 

Ever wondered why there’s music in almost every gym? Music keeps you going and pushes your motivation further. Carry your sports headphones to the gym and zone out!

Body Wipes

Carried around in gym bags especially by women, body wipes are the next best bet to a post-workout shower. Nothing can replace a refreshing shower; but again, this is the best you can do when you’re in a hurry and there’s just no option.

A Bottle of Water

During the use of all those sports equipment, you need to keep sipping on little water with intervals to stay hydrated, so keep one of these in the bag unfailingly.

Armband

Take the treadmill and listen to the music of your choice while burning those calories with your phone strapped to your armband.

A Deodorant

These help a lot after those sweaty sessions at the gym. Spraying some after shower will take care of the odor problem.

Snacks

An exhaustive workout regime will always leave you hungry afterward. Carrying some energy bars will kill the hunger pangs and put in some good protein when your body needs it most.

Sport Watches

You don’t practically put these in your bag, but you get the crux. Like a personal trainer, a Fitbit watch will make sure you track and reach your health goals.

Grip Gloves

During weight exercise, gloves provide a firm grip and protect your palms from getting rough over time.

TheraBand’s

Resistance exercises require these; plus, they take almost no room in the bag once folded over.
