1. A water-resistant gym bag that has a solution for any fitness problem you could ever face. Between a separate shoe compartment, convertible backpack straps, wet pocket, and laptop sleeve, you'll ask yourself why you didn't buy it sooner.
2. A shaker bottle so you'll never have to gulp down a clumpy drink again. It comes with two stackable containers and a tray that you can fill with any snacks, supplements, or drink mixes to power you through your workout.
3. A key strap so you can keep your bundle on you, while keeping your hands free. You can also secure it around your phone or water bottle so you won't have to hold ~all the things~ while you move from station to station.
4. An unscented roll-on deodorant that'll keep you feeling fresh all day long. It goes on clear, so you won't have to worry about getting white marks all over your clothes when you change.
5. A foam barbell pad that'll protect your hips or shoulders from bruisin' if the ones at your gym have seen better days. This way you can focus on crushing those PRs instead of battling the bar.
6. A pair of Saxx sport boxer briefs with a unique pouch that'll hold your ~jewels~ in place and prevent chafing or overheating while you train.
7. A pair of microfibre towels that'll dry you off without staying damp (your gym mates will thank you for not drippin' all over the machines). It's more compact than a regular towel, and since it's fast-drying, it won't stink up your gym bag.
8. A set of resistance bands that'll make your exercises a tad more challenging without stacking weights. Reviewers say they don't roll around on their legs like rubber ones and love the cute carrying case they come in.
9. A pair of no-tie laces that'll stretch when you slip your feet in, so you'll never have to mess around with knots or bows. They'll also make it faster to switch your boots for sneaks and give you one less tripping hazard on the treadmill.
10. A knee mat that'll save your joints when you're doing a kneeling exercise. Because it's so small, you can easily whip it out on the gym floor (and you won't have to lug around an entire yoga mat).
11. A pack of fragrance-free body wipes if you need to freshen up after a sweaty class. They come in individual sachets, so you won't have to stuff a whole pack in your bag or worry about them drying out.
12. An Apple Watch SE to track your fitness efforts and keep you motivated because closing those rings is so damn satisfying. You can also replay that one gym tune that gives you superpowers, take a quick call, and track your sleep (recovery is just as important!).
13. And a portable Apple Watch charger that'll charge your timepiece up to four times, so you're never stuck with unclosed rings again. It can also double as an extra power bank for your phone or AirPods (just remember your USB-C/lightning cable).
14. A pair of padded bike shorts that'll keep your bum from going sore during your next spin class. It also has handy side pockets for your phone, silicone hem grips to keep them from riding up, and a few reflective dots so you'll be visible during outdoor bike rides when it's dark out.
15. A Velcro ankle strap that'll help you achieve all the booty and leg day gains. It's long and strong, meaning it'll fit comfortably on ankles of all sizes without sliding up and down when you're hooked up to weight machines.
16. A pair of 100% cotton grippy socks that'll keep you from slippin' and slidin' all over the place during yoga or pilates. Reviewers say they’re also great for anyone with mobility issues (like elderly parents) or for walking around in the hospital after labour and delivery.
17. A 2-in-1 dry shampoo and conditioner that works twice as hard to keep your hair feeling fresh AND silky between wash days. It'll also give you a boost of volume, so no one will ever guess you just came from the gym (and not the salon).
18. And a mini Wetbrush that'll help tame any knots and flyaways after a wild training sesh. The bristles are heatproof so you can go in with a hair dryer at the same time (dinner plans after the gym? No prob).
19. A gallon water bottle and case that'll help you hit your hydration goals while giving you a place to put literally all your stuff. You can carry it with the shoulder strap, hand strap, side handle, or by the lid.
20. A padded tank that's a spittin' image of the lululemon Align Tank Top. It'll keep you supported and covered whether you're running sprints or errands.
21. And lastly, a three-piece set if a matchy-matchy moment helps you power through a tough set (the top is padded, so it's a true one-and-done outfit). Reviewers give the leggings the green light when it comes to passing the squat test.
Now go smash that workout!
