What to Pack in Your Gym Bag

In order to make the most of your gym session, you've got to sweat the little things like exercise order, proper form and the right reps. The same goes for your workout kit. When you're packing a gym bag, you shouldn't just toss in any old pair of sneakers and some shorts. You want to put a little thought into it.

And you might be forgetting something important. We asked a few personal trainers about the essentials that every guy should pack in their gym bag. And interestingly, they almost all came back with the same list. It's not a lot. In fact, it's honed down to basics that will ensure you have everything you need and nothing you don't. Pack the same kit every time so it's more of a routine than a conscious decision.

Of course, you have your own gym clothes and those will change more regularly, but these items should always be stocked and ready—that way, come gym time, it's just grab and go.
