For those who squeeze gym time in between work hours, you probably have a gym bag that is a vital resource.
I recently did a workout refresh routine video, but that was a day I didn’t have to rush back to work or some other event. For those days, I have my gym bag loaded with necessities to keep me fresh and clean.
- Deodorant Wipes: I have had bad luck carrying travel-sized deodorant with me, so I opt for these travel-friendly wipes. This way, I don’t have to worry about my deodorant breaking up in my bag, and they are so conveniently sized! They literally fit everywhere.
- Dry Shampoo: I don’t know about you, but I am a sweater when I workout, and my hair gets very sweaty in the process. Without dry shampoo, I would be a disaster. I always spray my roots, get in my car and head to work. When I get there, I head to the bathroom first and let my ponytail out and fix my hair. This way the shampoo has had time to dry out the excess oils.
- Towel: This ties in with the sweater issue. I always use a towel afterwards to dry off my face, neck and back.
- Hand Sanitizer: I also have very sweaty palms. I use a communal gym, so I always sanitize my hands after a workout to stop the spread of bacteria. I use one that is slightly scented to help smell better as well.
- Water bottle: This is a duh, but I like to bring this bottle because it have a infuser pocket where I can add lemons or any of my other infusing favorites.
- Headphones and phone: I watch Netflix while I workout! It keeps me motivated to come back! I am watching Daredevil now, so I don’t let myself watch it unless I am working out. This way I have to come back to find out what happens next!
- Body Spray: I always have a body spray, too! I am very insecure about smelling bad, so I spray this a little heavily. This is one of my favorite scents from Bath and Body Works.
- Post-Workout Snack: I usually also pack something to eat on after working out. I usually go for a protein bar or some almonds.
What do you pack in your gym bag?
Have a healthy day <3

I don’t take a bag to the gym since it’s in my apartment complex, but dry shampoo is SUCH a life saver! Batiste is definitely my favorite 🙂 Also, I totally have the same infusing water bottle as you! I really love it! What are you favorite infusions?

I have a video on it! But I really like strawberries and mint or lemon and mint!
