What are some gym bag essentials?
Imagine you just got to the gym and are excited to work out, but you pull up to the gym and realize you left your headphones. To me, headphones are staples because I need my music to keep me motivated with each set and rep. There are many other gym essentials besides headphones you require in your gym bag, and here’s a list.
Gym Bag: You need a gym bag to carry your gym equipment. My favorite gym bag is my Wolfpak backpack.
