What to pack in the perfect gym bag

The essential kit and most flattering gear that every gym goer needs


Posted: 1 September 2010

Pack this lot for your next trip to the gym

Sigg water bottle, £15.50

Keep hydrated the eco way. Ditch your plastic water bottle for this ultra lightweight, recyclable aluminium version.


Sweaty Betty vest, £49

Snug fitting, sweat wicking and super flattering; this vest gets full marks for performance and style.


Sweaty Betty pants, £15

Normal knickers won't cut it for the gym. These seam-free and super-stretchy hipsters will leave you chafe free with no riding up.


Asics short tights, £19.99

These shorter-length lycra tights will prevent any jiggling, yet keep you cool. There's also a handy internal pocket for your locker key.


Triumph sports bra, £32

This gym-specific bra will take you from the treadmill to the cross trainer sans bounce. Plus its seemless inner cup means no rubbing.


adidas earphones, £65

With special loops to hold them in place these headphones will stay in place through even the most frenetic cardio session.


adidas by Stella McCartney bag, £70

A gym bag so neat and good looking it won't look out of place if you make a bar stop on your way home!


Lifeventure towel, £22.99

This quick drying, anti-bacterial towel will stay fresh through repeat gym visits and wait patiently for your weekly wash.


Asics trainers, £90

This lightweight trainer is specifically designed for fast-paced training, but also gives great arch support.

I need a new gym top for classes (step, spin and bodypump) and i'm tall so it must be a long length but my budget is £20 each (max) so sweaty betty is out of my price range. Any ideas?
