Putting together the perfect gym bag can make a good workout great. Having the right things with you cannot only make you feel more comfortable, but they can also add to the exercises. So for all you fitness gurus out there, here are some must-have items to add to your gym bag.

Fitness Microfiber Towel

Going to the gym can get dirty… or well sweaty… a fitness towel is a go-to for whipping the sweat away. If you are like me, protect yourself against others' sweat by covering the gym equipment before you use it. Having a little something is better than nothing at all.

Workout Set - Reprise

Always gear up with a great workout set; Reprise is one of my personal favorites. Reprise helps keep the plastic off your body by making the world's most comfortable workout sets from plant-based material. This way, your skin can breathe while you sweat. It also puts us one step closer to living more sustainably!

Scrunchie

Don't underestimate the power of a scrunchie or hair tie. Going to the gym without one can lead to a bad hair day once you're done with your workout, not to mention how long air can be a real drag when it gets in your face.

HydroJug - 64 Oz Water Jug

Combo Lock

An often-overlooked item but one you can't sweat enough. Most gyms have locker rooms, and what's the point of a locker if not to lock your belongings?

Healthy Snack

I know what you are thinking, but trust me when saying having a snack after your workout helps. Not only does it build a stronger body, but it provides you nutrients that keep you from feeling fatigued or getting a headache.

Deodorant

No one likes a smelly person. Working out can get your body temperature up and your BO right along with it. Make sure to pack along some hygiene products to take care of any lingering after-workout odor, especially if the next place your head isn't home.
