This question might sound simple at first, but we think it’s interesting to explore some personal preferences, necessities, and tiny secrets that accompany us to one of the most self-improving spaces – the gym. We were curious to see how different or similar these choices can be. So, we turned to our beautiful NayLiving community to share what’s in their gym bags. And trust us, the findings did not disappoint.
First things first, the key to a successful trip to the gym is, without a doubt, the essential gym bag itself. It’s not just a carrier for your stuff but a small, portable home for all the things that support you before, during, and after a good workout session. Everyone’s gym bag tells a story, a small narrative about what they find important for their workout and self-care rituals.
Going straight into the heart of our community, we start with Angel, the founder of NayLiving. Her gym bag is like a treasure chest, filled with items that keep her refreshed and prepared. Angel’s beauty bag is definitely the main character. It holds lip oil, lip balm, sanitizer, a mirror for quick checks, tissue paper, hand cream, a tampon, and a card holder. Beyond beauty essentials, she packs her resistance bands, gloves, a knee brace, and a skipping rope. And let’s not forget, headphones are a must – the true companion of any solo workout. Angel’s gym bag reflects her practicality and her prioritization of both fitness and skincare.
Next up, Imade, our ever-resourceful copywriter, shares a slightly different take. While she’s not a traditional gym-goer, she embraces fitness in the comfort of her home. However, when NayLiving activities call, she’s ready with her version of a gym bag, which happens to be a tote. It holds her water bottle, deodorant, tissues, headphones, perfume, a handkerchief, lip balm, sunscreen, a purse, and face wipes. It’s fascinating to see how her necessities closely align with the communal preference towards skincare and general wellbeing.
We also looked into the gym bags of two of our cherished community members. The first shared her specific selection: a water bottle for hydration, a face towel, AirPods for tunes, perfume to stay fresh, and her keys. We’d say that her priority is staying fresh, hydrated and out of there when she’s done with her routine.
Meanwhile, another community member could practically live out of her gym bag, and we mean that literally! A face cap, creatine powder for that post-workout boost, bubble gum, hand sanitizer, deodorant, tissue, towel, hand cream, lip balm, sunscreen, a skipping rope, gloves, neck pads, bands, and headphones make up her gym bag. Her preparation level is not only impressive but showcases a deep commitment to her personal care and fitness readiness.
We love noticing how everyone still prioritizes their skincare within their gym routine; it’s inspiring and a beautiful reminder of the holistic approach to wellness that our NayLiving community embodies.
Exploring the gym bags of the NayLiving community reveals more than just the items themselves. It shows the diversity in our fitness journeys and the shared values we have. From the meticulously organized to the minimalistic, each bag tells a story. That of personal needs, preferences, and the little luxuries that make the gym experience uniquely ours.
