I have shared what’s in my handbag once or twice but today I thought I would share with you what’s in my gym bag and my gym bag must haves.
These are the things that I keep in my gym bag as well as the must haves I would recommend in anyone’s bag.
1. Hair Ties: My hair is long and working out with it slinging in my face isn’t cool. Hair ties are a definite for my gym bag or handbag or any bag. What I love about these ones above from Goody is that you can wear them kind of like a bracelet and it’s there when you need it.
2. Water Bottle: Whether you need a pre-workout drink or water afterwards it’s always nice to keep a reusable bottle handy.
3. Music: I can’t workout without my favorite tunes. It motivates me to keep moving. Check out my top 10 workout jams.
4. Kind Bar: The good thing about the KIND bars is they don’t get all melty in your bag. Plus they offer healthy ingredients and a boost of energy.
5. Gym Clothes: Tanks and Capri’s are usually what I like to wear when I work out. Also this includes a good sports bra because lets face it ladies that’s no fun when you don’t have them supported.
6. Deodorant: Well this one is pretty self-explanatory. You workout, you sweat, you stink… deodorant is a must.
7. Workout Shoes: Comfortable workout shoes that you can move in. Don’t forget the socks!
8. Gym Towel: For all that sweat I’m busting!
9. Sports Watch: Because I like to keep track of everything.
10. Kotex U Sleek Tampons: This is another self-explanatory one. I’m almost 32 years old. Back in the day I could time when I was going to start like clock work but now that I have gotten older I never start at the same time every month. This is why it’s important for me to always keep tampons handy. I love that kotex makes them so inconspicuous nowadays with their packaging so whether you are just carrying a few or the whole pack you don’t scream look at me.
Even better right now at Walmart you can pick up U by Kotex products (Sleek Tampons or CleanWear Pads) while getting the in store promotion bonus of 3 Goody elastics (while supplies last) at their everyday low price. I love these elastics like I said and who doesn’t love freebies?
I like to keep all these things in my bag so that they are ready to go when I am.

Love the pretty gym bag! We workout at home these days, but when we had a membership, my bag held workout clothes and shoes, hair ties, a towel, and my water bottle!
I workout a lot at home too. We used to get a free gym membership thanks to the military but they aren’t providing that program anymore. Bummer!
Kotex was always my go to brand when I was younger. They didn’t have the U Then. That was many years ago.
Ohhhh your bag is SO cute!
Is it weird to say that Kotex is my FAV brand? Is it weird to have a fav tampon?
Yes, totally weird Amber. lol Just kidding, they are my favorite brand too.
U by Kotex is also my favorite brand. I’m like 99% sure it’s my favorite because of the colorful packaging- haha. And it will be my 100% favorite if I can get my hands on some of those free elastics!!! Also, super cute gym bag 🙂
Get them while the getting is good. They were running low on what was left at my local walmart.
I remember back in the late 80s we would wear giant scrunchies like hair ties… we’ve come a long way!
Right, with our ponytail to the side of our heads. lol
KIND bars are always in my gym bag too. I love them before and after a good workout. They always keep me charged and full of energy. We have a lot of the same things in our gym bags!
They are yummy!
Great post!! I need to get my booty to the gym!
Not going to lie, my bag doesn’t get enough action. lol
Sounds like you have the bases covered for sure! I never think to put a “monthly necessity” in the gym bag. I always have them in my bingo bag and purse though.
I love your gym bag, it’s so cute. The Twistband ties are a MUST!
Great information, but my goal is just to get in the gym doors! Actually, I do go right after school drop off. These gym bag ingredients are a great idea as well!
Love those workout shoes lady! 🙂 My number one must have at the gym is my water bottle!!
that’s cool! You are a girl who is definitely prepared!
I only do classes at the gym, so there is no need for a whole bag, but I do bring water with me.
I love working out. I do not have a sports watch, but I need one terribly bad. I’m hoping to get one for Mother’s Day!
A towel, how could I forget a towel! Great picks!
I am totally with you on these gym bag items. They’re all must-haves.
Very similar to my own gym bag!! I always include workout gloves though too for when I use the weight or row machines.
Great list! I always forget extra deodorant!
I don’t go to the gym anymore. But when I did that would have about covered it.
That sounds a lot like my gym bag… when I was working out regularly. Got to get back to to it!
You’ve got it covered, and absolutely yes to having the girly biz handled just in case! That’s important.
That gym bag is super cute! That’s make a great tote for other things too!
It does… sometimes it does double duty for a overnight bag for my daughter.
I don’t have a gym bag anymore.I really do like the tips and I will look into carrying one again.
Great idea for a post! Loved seeing what you bring to the gym!
Love your gym bag! I should have a gym bag, because I need to exercise more, but sadly I don’t. I need to re-join a gym!
I am currently working out at home. But I love everything in your gym bag!
Great tips to fill a workout bag! I need to try those those Kotex products. I hadn’t seen them yet in stores!
That’s a cute bag. This post makes me miss going to the gym .:)
LOVE that bag! I actually need to clean out my bag! Amazing how you accumulate stuff!
Definitely… I often find random crap from cleaning out my vehicle in there as well. lol
Your gym bag is so cute! This is a great list of products to bring along to the gym.
Agreed….feminine products are a MUST in my gym bag! This reminds me….I need to FIND my gym bag. Ugh. I can’t even remember when I was there last.
How fun is your gym bag?! I love U by Kotex products
My gym bag essential is headphones and a water bottle! But it’s definitely important to keep your favorite feminine products in there too, just in case!
Your gym bag is so pretty! I keep many of the same thing sin mine (those Kind bars are amazing!). My goal is to get back to the gym/Jazzercise before my birthday in May!
Thanks! Good luck on your goal. I’ll admit I don’t hit the gym nearly enough.
I love your bag! It is too cute. Your gym packing list seems to cover the bases quite well.
What a cute gym bag, its far better packed than mine! I’m always missing something.
Glad you have a found a system to make things work.
I think my gym bag and yours are almost identical, even down to the Capris! 🙂 I haven’t tried KIND bars though… Will have check them out. And of course, Kotex are the best (and far more discreet than other brands)!
First off, I love your gym bag! Second, I think pretty much all the same things are in mine LOL
thank you! 🙂
I love your gym bag! This gives me motivation to get back out there again
I don’t even carry a gym bag- but I do bring my music… that’s when I got to the gym! lol
I’m terrible! I don’t take a gym bag with me! I totally should though just to make sure I have my essentials with me! Thanks for sharing!
Great list! I always forget that stuff when working out!
A clean towel and yes hair bands
I too leave for my workouts without any bags and its really messy when I reach there. Thanks for sharing this . I think all of us must carry a gym bag with all the stuff inside as well as a gym bottle.
nice list i am the worst at forgetting things when going to gym
