So I repurposed it for a minimalist gym bag. I have it in a periwinkle blue. I work out 2x/week and do not shower at gym, but the backpack would easily fit shower items. Generally I wear my workout clothes+shoes to the gym and use the bag for a lock, all my purse stuff (wallet, keys, phone); some rubber bands, a lock, ipod shuffle and earbuds, and workout notes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gym-bag#post-2038724 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 02:42:42 +0000 Anonymous 2038724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah . Rolling suitcases are now the thing at the medical fitness centre I do a side gig at . The dolled - up older ladies love them . Clattering along like they are in the Palm Springs airport . Cracks me up . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gym-bag#post-2038717 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 01:49:17 +0000 Anonymous 2038717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some bags have straps you can add a yoga mat to, but it would stick way out in front and back. I have one, but too small for all my other stuff. There of course are yoga mat bags, or straps to carry them too.<br /> No real graceful solution that I've found-yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gym-bag#post-2038715 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 01:44:33 +0000 elpgal 2038715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like seeing your packing systems. Rolling suitcases?! Sounds like a pretty good idea actually.</p> <p>I am the person with a reusable tote bag and assorted things (mat, bottle, keys etc in my hands). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gym-bag#post-2038696 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 00:54:15 +0000 Anonymous 2038696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This huge one that's actually a cooler bag- from Walmart of all places!<br /> In there: gym shoes, walking sandals, gear, makeup kit, bum bag, and I toss my purse in there too. It's hard to stuff into a locker, but is big enough to stuff all my winter layers in. I have a smaller bag for the pool too, about half the size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gym-bag#post-2038674 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 21:47:02 +0000 Carla 2038674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Lisap said. Small rolling suitcases are popular at the Y these days (mums and seniors). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gym-bag#post-2038673 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 21:39:24 +0000 Anonymous 2038673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a Lululemon duffle-ish thing. Demi shaped, flat bottom, top handled , black faux leather. I've had it for years - and switch it out for hot pink in the summer. I do the yoga mat roll thing between the handles as Carla desribes above. I'm not sure there really is any "right" gym bag. I've seen people use plastic shopping bags ........lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gym-bag#post-2038670 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 21:33:53 +0000 Carla 2038670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The big gym bag is used most of the time, and fits a change of clothes, 3 pair of shoes, as well as gym kit. I have to give it a good shove to get it into the narrow lockers at the YMCA, or at other gyms I frequent. The smaller kit bag is perfect for swim kit, or if I'm not planning on showering/changing at the gym. I use a strappy thing that loops over the ends of my yoga mat so it can be carried cross body, but I like to roll it and stick it between the handles of my kit bag as well. Both bags came from Winners - under $40 CAD for the big bag, and under $20 for the smaller one. Both are light weight. I use a gym bag almost daily and both are in good shape and show no wear though both are about 5 YO.</p> <p>When I worked I did lunch hour workouts at places close to my work. One gym let me keep a locker where I left my shoes and a basket of toiletries. When I changed gyms (due to relocating) I kept a full toiletries kit in a drawer at my desk. The gym had a towel service for $50/yr. Less stuff to schlep back and forth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gym-bag#post-2038635 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 19:44:17 +0000 elpgal 2038635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a regular gym goer now *fingers crossed* and would like to know how you all tote your gear. I would ideally like a bag that can accommodate a yoga mat but it is not required. I go straight from work, so need a place to stash my clean clothes and shoes within the bag. </p>
