How to Choose the Ideal Gym Bag for You

It needs to be as tough as you are…

If fitness is a way of life, investing in a killer gym bag will be high on your priorities. But how do you choose the best bag for you? Here are four questions to ask yourself before you buy your next gym bag buddy:

Is it techy enough?
These days we should expect more from our gym bags… we want to see washable fabrics, air lock sections, and moisture wicking materials. Some gym bags have pockets for earplugs and chargers, while others have specially designed areas for your footy shoes and boxing pads. Choose a bag that works as hard as you do at the gym.

Does size matter?
Well, this is a personal question. Your nifty little gym bag has to be big enough to fit everything in it, but small enough to be able to be carried to and from work/ home/ the bar. Maybe you want a small, fashion-forward gym bag to go with your work outfit, or perhaps you’re searching for a fit-everything-in duffel bag to store in the back of your car? The choice is yours.

Is it tough enough?
The thing with gym bags is they have to be tough. You’ll be storing your bag in a locker, packing it full of clothes and slinging it under your desk or bed when you’re not carrying it across town. It needs to be durable, well made and be able to take a knock or two.

Are there compartments galore?
After a gym sesh, you’ll need a bunch of different sections in your gym back to separate your sweats from your toiletries, your shoes from your spare socks. Some fancy gym bags even have compartments for your laptop, water bottle and wallet. We say the more compartments the better!
