Whether you’ve just signed up for a gym membership to help burn off all the Ramadan sweets you’re planning to devour this month or you just feel like getting must-have items for your well-loved gym bag, you’ll definitely need these 8 items with you on your next trip to the gym.

1- Workout clothes, of course

Ever gotten to the gym WITHOUT your workout clothes? It happens. Workout clothing is an obvious essential item to get a good workout in.

2- Water bottle

Staying hydrated is important throughout the day - but especially important during a workout. Don’t forget to grab a water bottle before you head out the door.

3- Headphones

Nothing is worse than working out in silence. Whether you pump yourself up with your favorite tunes or want to listen to a podcast or audiobook, you can’t do it without headphones.

4- Towel

You’ll need towels to keep you from overheating and dry your body off - because no one wants sweat in their eyes.

5- Hair ties and a brush

Keep your hair away from your face at every workout session. You don’t want to swipe away hair every time you bend down to reach for something - what a waste of your time.

6- Shower shoes

Everyone at your gym probably uses the shower - remember that the next time you take a shower without shower shoes on.

7- Deodorant

We don’t really have to explain why deodorant is a gym bag essential, do we? 

8- Face wipes

The face sweats so much during a workout, it’s good to have face wipes on hand for a quick cleansing.

Bonus item:

A gym bag, in case you don’t already have one.
