This bag is AMAZING!! It holds absolutely everything you might want to bring to the gym, including your yoga mat. Additionally the material makes it so that it is sweat and water resistant, which is perfect for also taking on short 2-3 day trips.
20" Gym Duffel Bag with Wet Pocket & Shoes Compartment - Green
I use these for my calisthenics upper body days. Particularly, I focus on pushups variations, handstands, and L-sit training for abs. These are an affordable option while also having some padding to not hurt your palms, and it doesn’t slide around on...
Teclor Push Up Bar Parallettes for Calisthenics
I bought this hip pad over two years ago, and it still is holding up after 200-300lb hip thrust runs! I highly recommend it and the colors are super bright. Personally, I have the red one! It is super comfy and you don't get squashed by the bar under...
Barbell Squat Pad with Safety Straps - Neck & Shoulder Cushion for Standard & Olympic Bars
Jump roping is by far my favorite form of cardio. It is low impact on the knees, and honestly helped me lose so much weight in one year. It's more fun than running to me, and this beaded jump rope was perfect for me learning to gain my endurance, and...
1” Beaded Jump Rope - Durable, Adjustable
I've had these wrist straps for over four years while I improved and gained strength on exercises that require good grip. I've used these primarily in deadlifts, dead hangs, and bulgarian split squats! I highly suggest them, they have never torn or b...
Lifting Wrist Straps Padded Neoprene 18in
I have been using these bands for YEARS! They have helped me to attain my pullup and soon help me to get my muscle up! I love these resistance bands, and they are thick enough and super “stuck” so that you will never be hit with rebound or recoil or ...
Pull Up Resistance Bands Set for Workout & Therapy
I used this belt during my max deadlift PRs and it has always saved my back from any potential injuries <3 I love it and recommend it for any beginner weightlifters looking into doing heavy deadlifting.
Quick Locking Powerlifting Deadlift Belt 4"
Prior to getting straps, I used this chalk and loved it! It gave a very strong grip without throwing dust everywhere or getting on the floor of the gym. It was also extremely easy to wash off with only water.
Liquid Chalk for Weightlifting & Cross Training
This is a durable bag that is suitable for a lighter day at the gym. I wouldn't fit an entire yoga mat and hip thrust bad in here, but definitely could hold my jump rope and water bottle along with the tiny essentials we always bring to the gym like ...
Drawstring Gym Backpack, Water Resistant with Mesh Pocket
Hygiene
Keeping it simple- hand sanitizer for between sets and/or after the gym.
This is my holy grail lip balm! I bite my lips a lot but this always heals them and keeps them moisturized even longer than Aquaphor can! I love this four pack because I throw one in my makeup bag, backpack, gym bag, and one for my home desk.
Bag Balm Original Skin Moisturizer 4-Pack
This Old Sport Scent is quite neutral to me, and is not as cologne heavy as the Degree deodorant also listed in this inspo page. This one is just as effective, however, and I think I prefer Old Spice now!
Old Spice Aluminum Free Deodorant, Pure Sport, 3oz, 2-Pack
This deodorant doesn't look cute but trust me when I say that no matter how much you sweat in the most humid, disgusting environment, this deodorant will keep you smelling clean. Given that this is a fragranced deodorant, be wary if you don't want to...
I use these tiny Nivea creme tins to moisturize my hands after washing them after a workout or if I'm out and I start feeling dry. One of these fits super easily into any gym bag or purse since they are travel sized.
NIVEA Skin Creme 1 oz (Pack of 7)
For wiping down sweaty machines before and after use
