You want to go to the gym, but you only have time for lunch and don’t have a gym bag. Or you go to the gym and realize you forgot your workout pants. You shouldn’t let such slights get in the way of your workout. By properly packing your sports bag, hopefully you won’t have that hassle and can maximize your workout time.
Steps
Prepare the bag

Buy a bag of the right size. When choosing gym bags, you need to make sure they have enough room. Look for bags with lots of roomy compartments. You’ll want to put your clothes in one compartment, your shoes in another, and your food in another. If you can find a gym bag with smaller zippered compartments, even better. They help you keep different items in the bag separate while keeping the bag organized. [1] X Research Source

Gather the plastic bags. Use plastic bags to store different items. This is especially important if you don’t have a gym bag with lots of separate compartments. You need to keep each item in the bag separately to avoid contaminating each other. [2] X Research Source
- Get a larger bag for shoes. You don’t want your sweaty workout shoes to stain your clothes, so choose a shoe bag designed specifically for sneakers. Put your shoes in the bag so that the smell of sweat and bacteria does not escape, and also help the gym bag not smell like the smell of dirty sweaty feet. [3] X Research Sources
- Buy a Ziploc bag (a zippered plastic bag) for toiletries and underwear. You can store your unused underwear in a plastic bag to keep it clean and put your worn pants in the gym bag after changing.
- You can also use a plastic bag for ice in case of an injury. [4] X Research Sources

Arrange items from the bottom up. Start by putting your shoes in the bottom of a bag or in a shoe compartment, then stack all your stuff in smaller compartments. Put toiletries in a bag, and put towels and clothes on top to prevent getting wet if toiletries leak. Place electronic devices or books on top. [5] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4e/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-4-Version-2. jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/ images/thumb/4/4e/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the- Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pack your bags from the night before. In the morning you are often rushed and irritable. Sometimes you oversleep, spend too much time in the bathroom, ruin your breakfast, or end up hitting the snooze button three times. With mornings like this, you probably don’t think about the gym bag anymore. Take the stress out of the morning by packing your gym bag from the night before. [6] X Research Source
- Place the bag near the door or next to a bag, shoe, key, or coat. That way, you won’t accidentally go out and leave your bag on the bedroom floor.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/58/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-5-Version-2. jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/ images/thumb/5/58/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the- Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Leave a spare gym bag in the car. On those days when you forget to leave your gym bag on the bedroom floor, you’ll have a spare in the trunk. Keep only the essentials in that bag, like: a t-shirt or tank top, sweatpants, socks, an older pair of sneakers, and cheap headphones. This way you will never miss a workout. [7] X Research Sources
Arrange essentials

Sort good quality workout clothes. Two must-have items in a gym bag are a shirt and workout pants. Make sure the material of the garment is breathable and fits well. Think about what you will do that day; You don’t want your low-rise pants to drop when you’re doing squats or your shirt to cover your face while doing yoga bends. Choose quality and convenience over fashion. [8] X Research Sources
- Decide whether you want to wear a tank top or a blazer with shorts, tights, or pants to your workout. They won’t be a problem as long as you keep your training regimen in mind.
- In the colder months, pack a jacket and long sweatpants. This is essential if you intend to leave the gym and still wear your workout clothes. [9] X Research Source
- It’s also a good idea to bring extra underwear, if you’re going straight to work. You don’t want to wear clean, fresh office clothes over sweaty underwear. [10] X Research Source
- For women, you need to bring a sports bra if you plan to wear a regular bra to the gym.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8f/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-7-Version-2. jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/ images/thumb/8/8f/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the- Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Bring sports shoes. Good shoes are essential for training. Most gym goers wear sneakers or running shoes. If you’re lifting weights at a high level, you’ll need to wear weightlifting shoes. No matter what shoes you wear, you must remember to put them in a separate bag. [11] X Research Source Trying to run on a treadmill in heels or loafers won’t do you any good.
- Don’t forget to bring socks. Exercising without socks is impolite and causes foot pain. Make sure to always have a pair of socks in your bag even when you’re wearing a pair to the gym. You won’t know when the socks will slip out of your shoes, get wet, or something else has happened to them. Socks are an essential in your gym bag. [12] X Research Source
- Remember to bring slippers. You’ll need slippers if you shower at the gym after a workout. You should not go barefoot in the bathroom but wear slippers to protect your feet from bacteria and fungi. [13] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/19/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-8-Version-2. jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/ images/thumb/1/19/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the- Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Bring some hair ties or sweatbands. For women, hair ties are essential to keep the hair back and not loose in front of the face during exercise. For men and women with short hair, a headband or sweat-blocking headband can help absorb sweat and prevent hair from sticking to the face. [14] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/54/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-9-Version-2. jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/ images/thumb/5/54/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the- Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Bring all essential toiletries. If you go to the gym at mealtime or before work, you need to make sure your gym bag contains the right items to help you stay fresh and professional throughout the day. Consider bringing the following items:
- Roll-on deodorant, or maybe some body spray or perfume with some light scent. Be careful not to spray too much perfume, especially if you’re not showering.
- Shower gel. If you are a man, you can buy a shower gel cum shampoo to practice.
- Facial cleanser or wipes, and moisturizer to remove sweat from the face. You can also bring toner or astringent water.
- Cream and razor. Only bring it if you intend to shave at the gym.
- Dry shampoo. This is really handy when you don’t have time to wash, dry and style your hair before heading back to work. [15] X Research Source

Bring towels. This is a good habit. Not all gyms provide free towels, and the towels are not guaranteed to be the cleanest even though they are still washed. You should bring your own towel to wipe your body sweat or exercise machine.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c1/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-11-Version-2. jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/ images/thumb/c/c1/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the- Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Bring a water bottle. Drinking water during exercise is essential. Bring a water bottle so you can refill it when you need it. You don’t want your body to be dehydrated without being rehydrated right away or having to buy overpriced water at the gym. [16] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1d/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-12-Version-2. jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/ images/thumb/1/1d/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the- Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Bring fast food. Carry a healthy snack in your pocket for energy before or after your workout. You can try nuts, apples, protein cakes. [17] X Research Source Or bring along healthy drinks, bananas, and nutritious cakes.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/19/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-13-Version-2. jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/ images/thumb/1/19/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the- Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Don’t forget to bring electronics. You can’t end a workout without music, so be sure to keep your headphones in your pocket to plug into your smartphone with a built-in playlist. If you have an iPod or iPod shuffle, be sure to put them in your pocket.
- You can also bring your heart rate monitor, fitness tracker, and other exercise equipment you have. [18] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f0/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-14-Version-2. jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/ images/thumb/f/f0/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the- Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remember to bring sanitizer. The gym can be home to a lot of germs because you share equipment (and sweat!) with other people. To reduce germs, bring hand sanitizer to wash your hands afterwards.
- If hand sanitizer is not available, bring a disinfecting wipe or towel. You can use it to wipe your hands, but it’s more important to clean the exercise machine and weights before touching them. In addition, towels and wet wipes are wrapped tightly in the gym bag so there is no mess. [19] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/20/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-15-Version-2. jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/ images/thumb/2/20/Pack-Your-Bag-for-the-Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Pack-Your-Bag-for-the- Gym-or-Health-Club-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Don’t skip the first aid kit. Minor injuries can easily happen at the gym. Blisters, minor cuts, or scrapes can occur from using the machine, holding, or lifting weights. Be prepared for these situations by carrying medical tape and small rolls of tape in your gym bag. [20] X Research Sources
Advice
- Carrying too much is easy, so make sure you pack only the essentials.
