Gym Bag Essentials Checklist

You want to lift weights at the gym, not on your way to the gym. A well-edited gym bag will lighten your load and still let you pamper yourself or prep for a post-exercise outing. Look for a water-resistant bag that's compact enough to fit in a standard locker but roomy enough to hold the extras.
