I'm Always on the Go, and These Are the Products I Keep in My Gym Bag
Whether you prefer a morning, afternoon, or nighttime workout, there are a few staples you always need in your gym bag. As someone who prefers to work out in the morning, I cannot tell you how many times I have forgotten something essential, like makeup or pants (yes, really, one time I forgot my pants). So learn from my mistakes, and make sure you have these items in your gym bag at all costs.

adidas Originals Adilette Slide
You need to wear shower shoes if you're going to clean up post-workout. I like these adidas Originals Adilette Slides ($45) because they're cool enough to step out in once your workout is over.

Sinland Multi-purpose Microfiber Fast Drying Travel Gym Towels
Having a few extra towels is always a good idea. We like that these Sinland Multi-purpose Microfiber Fast Drying Travel Gym Towels ($13) are quick drying and come in different colors, so you know they're yours.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleansing Cloths
If you don't have time for a full-on shower, or don't have access to those facilities, use these Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleansing Cloths ($15) to cleanse your face, neck, chest, and back.

Stephanie Johnson Miami Jumbo Zip Cosmetics Case
Keep all your toiletries in one place, preferably one that's waterproof, like this Stephanie Johnson Miami Jumbo Zip Cosmetics Case ($38).

Barre Sock with Grip
It's always good to have an extra pair of socks with you. We like these Barre Socks with Grip ($7) because they're essential for barre and pilates, but they still get the job done if you're spinning or strength training.

Fitbit Flyer Wireless Earbuds
This one needs no explanation. The Fitbit Flyer Wireless Earbuds ($130) have a strand connecting the two buds so you won't lose them mid-workout.

Zella Body Fusion Sports Bra
This Zella Body Fusion Sports Bra (two for $60) ($35) will go with everything, and the compression fit provides high support. It's always nice to have an extra in your bag at all times, in case you forget!

bkr 16-Ounce Glass Water Bottle
I'm a big fan of reusable water bottles. Rather than having to buy a disposable one if I'm running around, it's nice to just keep an empty bottle in my gym bag. I like the bkr 16-Ounce Glass Water Bottle ($38).

Quest Nutrition Protein Bar
Look, if I don't have something to eat post-workout, I can get hangry. But a super busy schedule means I'm always glad to have a Quest Nutrition Protein Bar ($21) in my gym bag.

New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi Lightweight Running Shoe
I always keep this New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi Lightweight Running Shoe ($65) on-hand. It's so light and airy, it doesn't weight my bag down. Plus, they give my feet the support they need.
