Ah, January! The month when gym attendance spikes and the locker rooms are full of people grumbling about the surge of New Year's resolvers crowding up the place.
Whether you're a longtime gym-thlete or a bright-eyed newb, you should consider upgrading your gym bag (aka sweaty clothes sack) to the Everest Gym Bag, a sporty duffel with pockets — and five-star Amazon reviews — galore.
More than 1,000 reviewers gave this bag four or more stars, praising its spaciousness, pocket wealth, price (under $25), workmanship, and — of course — ability to hold pickleball equipment.
Seriously, stop schlepping around your gym shorts in a plastic bag. It's no way to live.
And just in case you're thinking, Sure, this bag sounds okay for *amateurs*, but what about for a professional fit person like me? I'll turn it over to Amazon user Jessica:
"I am so glad I have purchased this gym bag. It looks cute (I got the blue and black), and it holds just about anything an instructor could ask for. Lots of pockets (that alone won me over), and space for me to keep about two outfits, three pairs of shoes, and my electronics in easily found locations. My only suggestion is to add attachment straps (for a yoga mat or Pilates ring) or make the bag just a touch bigger." —Jessica
Listen to Jessica! She's an instructor of some kind!
Now all that's left to do is actually, you know, exercise.
Get it from Amazon for $21.43+ (available in five colors).
