Ten must-have items you should add to your gym bag ASAP.Sometimes packing for a workout class feels like you\u2019re prepping for a weekend getaway. Between the clothes, toiletries and snacks, you might as well grab your suitcase and call it a day. But truth be told, it doesn\u2019t have to be as complicated or cumbersome as we make it out to be. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re bouncing from one cycling class to the next or gearing up for a sweaty hot yoga sesh at your favorite studio, the list of goodies below will make your pre and post-workout life much easier. And as a bonus, the ClassPass<\/a> app lets you search by “amenities” so you can find the things you need that won’t fit in your gym bag<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what to pack in your gym bag:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
  • A change of clothes<\/li>
  • A protective mask<\/li>
  • A fresh towel<\/li>
  • A fitness tracker<\/li>
  • Anti-bacterial gel or spray<\/li>
  • Trainers<\/li>
  • A yoga mat<\/li>
  • A reusable shopper bag<\/li>
  • Airpods or headphones<\/li>
  • An awesome playlist<\/li>
  • A reusable water bottle<\/li>
  • Fresh socks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Dry Shampoo <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Regardless of the time you workout, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019re heading to work or grabbing dinner with a friend after you get your sweat on. Eliminate an oily scalp \u2014 and refresh your look \u2014 with the help of a sweet-smelling dry shampoo. It also doubles as a deodorizer and perfume. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Flip Flops <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This is a public service announcement to all gym-goer\u2019s out there: do not use public showers without flip flops. Showers are a breeding pool for fungus and germs so a trusty pair of flip flops will be your best friend. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Microfiber Towel <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s get dirty for a sec: most of us sweat …a lot. While some studios provide towels free of charge, many don\u2019t. Always be prepared and keep a towel in your bag for sweaty classes, water bottle leaks or even a makeshift hair towel. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hand Sanitizer <\/strong>or Bacterial Wipes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    No explanation necessary. Workout equipment can be downright disgusting and full of germs. Stay safe \u2014 and healthy. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Deodorant<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    It may sound obvious but you\u2019ve probably been in the middle of getting ready after your workout only to realize that you forgot deodorant (and if you haven’t, other people definitely have). Avoid the embarrassment and the last-minute drugstore run by keeping an extra deodorant in your bag with you at all times. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pre or Post-Workout Snack <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Some people like to work out on an empty stomach, others don’t. But most of us will agree that we like to have a little protein after we pump some iron. Regardless, these protein bars are the way to go. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Wipes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Never underestimate the power of a good wipe \u2014 seriously. Multipurpose, compact and oh so handy, wipes will save you on a number of occasions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Reusable Wet\/Dry Bag <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Dirty gym clothes should not see the light of day until they’re in the washing machine. With a designated bag for your dirty clothes, you\u2019ll reduce any mix-up \u2014 and trap sweaty smells.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
