9 Gym Bag Essentials For Her!

Working out isn't everyone's idea of fun, but with the right preparation, you can ensure that your exercise is as comfortable and effective as you can make it. Read below to find out our top gym essential picks for your duffel/gym bag to make your workout a breeze. 

1. Trainers
There isn't anything more awful than getting to the gym and realising that you forgot to pack your trainers. How are you expected to get past a spin class without the right gym shoes? Make that unforgiving reality a past by continuously packing your trainers first while organising your gym bag. Remember your gym socks too! 

2. Earphones
An essential for any gym experience is a decent pair of earphones, along with any other accessories for your phone or MP3 player. Motivating music and quality earphones can mean the difference between a decent workout and an incredible workout. Whether you love small earbuds or bigger, over-ear style headphones, make sure to toss them in your gym bag before you head out the door.

3. Reusable Water Bottle
Staying hydrated is fundamental whilst working out, so make a point to keep a bottle of water close by during your exercise. We suggest utilising a reusable water bottle as they are better for the environment and keep your water colder for longer.

4. Workout Clothes
Much like your shoes, arriving at the gym without the proper workout clothing can end your workout before it even begins. A simple method for remembering what you need to pack is to make a little list as you add things to your bag. Be sure to remember a gym top and gym shorts, along with a light gym jacket if you require one. 

5. Dry Shampoo
Don't have the time or energy to shower after you exercise? We've all been there! By bringing along a bottle of your best dry shampoo, you can remove the sweat from your hair and absorb an abundance of oils, all whilst adding volume to your roots.

6. Shower Essentials
For those of you who anticipate a fast wash after your exercise, make certain to pack a little toiletry bag filled with your shower essentials. From shampoos and conditioners to a scented body wash, ensure you have all that you need to make you feel clean from head to toe.

7. Wipes
Wipes can be a lifesaver after working out. From eliminating sweat and make-up to their use as an easy odour neutraliser, cleansing wipes are an unquestionable requirement for any women's workout bag.

8. Compact Microfibre Towel
Rather then paying to borrow gym towels, ensure you have a soft, spotless towel after your workout by bringing your own from home. Just pick your favourite colour and pack it in your gym bag.

9. Snack
Perhaps the most ideal way to mend your body after a vigorous exercise is by having a light, protein-filled snack. So pack a protein bar, walnuts, fruit or any other natural product to hold your glucose within proper limits within a small, insulated lunch bag.
