What Should I Bring to the Gym? A Simple Gym Bag List

Bring water, a towel, gym shoes and your phone. That covers most days. Pack wipes and a dry shirt for the ride home, too. Bring a snack too. We have some protein snacks, but stock is limited during the renovation.

Part 2

Nice to have

  • Lifting belt for heavy squats
  • Chalk for a better grip
  • Wipes and a dry shirt
  • A small lock for your bag

Start with the basics. Add more as you lift more.

Part 3

What to wear

Wear clothes you can move in. Pick shoes with a flat, firm sole for lifting. Running shoes are fine for cardio. On the turf lane, wear shoes with good grip.

Part 4

What you can buy here

We have some protein snacks and gym merch. During the renovation, we have less in stock, so bring what you need. See our amenities.
