Essential Gym Bag Gear for New Members
I wanted to start a thread about essential gym bag gear for new members because I see so many people showing up totally unprepared. I remember my first week when I forgot to bring a water bottle and had to use the fountain every five minutes.
Besides the basics like a towel and water, what are the things you cannot live without? I always keep a spare pair of socks and some liquid chalk in mine.
I am also a big fan of having a dedicated pair of shoes just for the gym. I hate seeing people walk in from the muddy streets of Vancouver and then get on the equipment with those same shoes.
Do you guys use logbooks or just your phones? I find that if I bring my phone I end up scrolling through Instagram instead of actually working out. Maybe a paper journal is an essential?
