The small ones are excellent to bring along for your workouts and they dry very fast too.
Towels | Decathlon Singapore
Got my mum one for her birthday and she loves it!
Wearable | Xiaomi Global
Some of the prettiest yoga mat towels in the market and a must have if you do hot yoga.
Manduka Yoga Towel
I use these when using the various weights machines and dumbbells to avoid calluses and for better grip, especially when your hands can get a bit slippery when sweaty.
Sport Gloves | Under Armour SG
Home Workout Gear
Small, non-threatening
Great for your home yoga practice but I also use them for other floor exercises
Anti-Slip Premium TPE Yoga Mat 6/8mm
You may want a mix of both latex and fabric as I do find that the latex ones will stretch and loosen after a period of usage

This makes more sense than having several dumbbells due to size as well as how both my husband and I use them at varying weights for different types of workouts
Amazon.sg: Adjustable Dumbbell
Only got a single one based on the regular exercises that my PT used to give me. Swinging this is much easier and better for the back/grip/overall safety than using dumbbells.
Kettlebell Weights
Besides using them for core exercises, I sometimes do place them on my knees for certain yoga practices.
Core Sliders
Motivation & Consistency Helpers

Because sore muscles need to be taken care of as well
Foam Roller For Back
Best for myofascial releases. My favourite!

Duh…you need to rehydrate when working out and having a nice water bottle does give you a bit of a perk up during a gruelling workout.
Large Water Bottle
Carrying a pretty gym bag can psyche you to just go to the gym!

Because we all need one that doesn't drip and dries off quickly.

My go-to fitness tracker to help me monitor the usual so that I know whether I'm working out to the right heart rate range to burn fat

Since you've got to tie your hair to get it out of the way of our workout, might as well make yourself feel fab at the same time.
