Working out at a gym a few times a week becomes a new trend for office workers. Regular exercise is necessary for them since they feel stressed, tired, rushed, and short on quality time after work. Moreover, sitting at their desks and working with computers for a long time also bring them a lot of physical discomfort, such as eye fatigue, back pain, and so on. As a result, more and more people choose to enroll at a gym to urge themselves to exercise every day.
And choosing the right gym gear is a great first step before heading to the gym. Workout clothes, sports shoes, essentials you need to take to the gym, and a nice gym bag to hold everything in are all things that require you to choose carefully.
What Makes a Good Sports Gym Bag?
If you’re on the hunt for a nice gym bag to keep all your gym attires organized and safe, the following features you need to take into consideration:
1. Consider the material:
The materials widely used are leather, nylon, and canvas. Each has its pros and cons. For example, leather is more durable and sturdy, but genuine leather costs you much more than nylon and canvas. Nylon is lightweight but it’s not easy to clean when it’s stained. Canvas is affordable and washable.
2. Consider the designs:
If you join a gym class that includes water exercises, a wet & dry pocket is necessary for you. Because you don’t want your swimsuit and goggles to get your clothes wet, meanwhile, go for a waterproof gym bag to ensure the bag doesn’t get ruined by water and prevent liquid from leaking. A shoe compartment is also essential to keep your belongings stay clean and spiffy.
3. Consider the size:
A large gym bag lets you to put fitness supplies into the bag as much as possible. But big doesn’t always mean good. Too big a bag is an obstacle and makes it hard to carry on public transportation ( like the bus or subway). You can list essentials you need to take to the gym and use a duffel as a reference. Put everything in, and estimate how big is a gym duffel bag suitable for you.
