shoes to wear :)
I honestly cannot keep track of how many pairs of shoes i wear to the gym but these are my honest opinion :)
as someone who’s HUGE on cardio after working out these shoes are literally so comfortable and one of the only ones that don’t leave my feet in pain after
Cushioned Running Shoes & Performance Wear | HOKA®
these ones are great for leg day because they’re nice and flat. therefore your stance is much better and oriented on whatever part you’re working on
Samba Shoes
although i did start with these as my lifting shoes and they never felt slippery therefore they also helped me perfect my form
High Top Sneakers - Classic Canvas & New Styles. Converse.com
call me crazy but you cannot go wrong with crocs at the gym, they’re very comfy, non slip and can help you get good form on your workouts
Classic Clogs, Shoes & Sandals for Women
toiletries/ necessities :)
as a fellow gym girlie, we have all had an accident or two and they’re completely normal!! here’s something i’ve learned to have in my bag!
this brand literally CHANGED the menstrual products i use from now on. As a huge heavy bleeder although these are very thin they have never had me leak and they’re truly so comfortable and smooth and it’s hard to notice you’re wearing a pad or tampon

if scrunchies aren’t your thing then hair clips are a must. although they can get in the way quite a bit at the gym
Kōv Essentials | Claw clips for thick hair, claw clips for thin hair.
supplements!
i honestly tried my hardest to stay away from supplements but then the ones i did have, helped me see changes in the best way
i swear by one sol when it comes to supplements.

i love the one sol creatine because you take one scoop before workout and then after. and it’s honestly so easy to keep track of this one tbh
One Sol Creatine+ Leucine
this helped me so much as someone who has had crazy amount of gut issues

the woke af one was my absolute favorite to take because as someone who’s caffeine intake is high this helped me actually get a good pump
