Going to a gym is a great way to keep fit. Some gyms have loads of amenities, and others don’t; but a good way to ensure you have a good gym experience, is to have these items:
A great gym bag with separate shoe compartment
A good gym bag can’t be beat. Ensure you get one with a separate shoe compartment to lock away those stinky gym shoes. Make sure you get a gym bag big enough for a washing bag, and all the other items below.
A sweat towel AND a shower towel
It’s good etiquette to take a clean towel out onto the gym floor with you. Having two towels means you can use one on the floor and one in the shower afterwards. Choose micro-fibre for the sweat towel – it’s quick dry and easy to use.
Protein powder and shaker
When training hard, it’s important to give your body a good protein dose before or just after a gym visit. Take along your Goprotein powder and shaker to ensure you can top yourself up as needed.
A good water bottle with a covered spout
Keeping yourself hydrated at the gym is imperative. Get yourself a good water bottle with a covered spout – for easy access and no spills during your workouts.
Odour neutralisers, deodorant and wipes
It’s a good idea to keep yourself, your bag and your workout area clean and smelling nice. It makes for a better experience all-round if you use anti-perspirant, naturally. And having odour neutralisers in your bag will keep your bag smelling nice.
Wipes are especially important at the moment, and a good idea to keep equipment clean for those around you.
