Ready for action: everything you need to know about the perfect gym bag

Whether you hit the gym every week, are training for a marathon or squeeze in a group class after work: a good gym bag is your ultimate workout partner. The perfect gym bag keeps your clothes, shoes and accessories neatly organised, so you can focus fully on your performance. But what should you look for when choosing a gym bag?

Ventilated shoe compartment: Nothing is more annoying than dirty sports shoes next to your clean clothes. Choose a bag with a separate, breathable shoe compartment on the side to keep dirt and unpleasant odours away from the rest of your gear.

Water-repellent and washable material: Sweaty clothes or an unexpected rain shower while cycling? A sturdy polyester or nylon bag with a water-repellent coating is easy to wipe clean and keeps your belongings dry.

Wet clothing compartment (wet pocket): A waterproof inner compartment is a real lifesaver for storing wet swimwear or a sweaty sports outfit after an intense workout.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about gym bags

For most athletes, a capacity of 30 to 45 litres is ideal. This gives you plenty of room for a pair of shoes, a large towel, clean clothes, a water bottle and a toiletry bag. If you go swimming or take part in a sport that requires a lot of protective gear, such as boxing or hockey, it’s better to opt for a bag of 50 litres or more.

Don’t leave your gym bag closed after your workout! Take out wet items and shoes straight away and let them air out. Tip: place a small scented sachet or some shoe deodorizers in the shoe compartment to effectively neutralise unpleasant odours.
