What's in a Fitness Influencer's Bag

 

             

              I absolutely love watching social media posts about what's in someone's bag but let's be honest most feel very staged. As a fitness influencer with a full time job I don't have time to try to comprise a functional and quality bag. Today, I am going to walk you through a unfiltered what's in my bag and hopefully gives you tips on what is helpful to have in your own gym bag!

            For starters we have to talk about the bag. I will not gatekeep (even though I want to) my ultimate favorite gym bag is the Buhi Co. Atlas Duffle bag. This bag does it all. It can carry everything that I need for not only the gym but also a shift at the office after! It is also machine washable which for me is a huge win. The bag gives me functionality and as is so aesthetic. I could go on and on about how amazing this bag is!

            Now for the fun part! What is in my gym bag? For starters it probably has a half eaten protein bar in the bottom and a hair tie to be super transparent but I promise that's a rarity for me. The first thing that I always keep in my bag is my extra work outfit and shoes. This bag is perfect for someone who has to work after their workout because it has a shoe pocket and a space for an outfit. My work clothes also never wrinkle which is huge. The next thing I always keep in my gym bag is a toiletry bag. This comes in handy for the days I work because it keeps me refreshed after a sweaty workout. If we are talking gym equipment I always have a yoga mat with me. My Atlas Duffle bag has straps that snap your yoga bag into place. I try to always stay hydrated and keeping a water bottle on me is so easy when my gym bag has a built in water bottle pocket. There is also a pocket in my bag that holds my grip straps for lifting, ankle weights for Pilates, and extra socks (just incase). In my smaller pocket I try to keep a protein bar or a beef stick. This is a perfect snack for after my workout when the hunger hits. 

            Overall, my gym bag and what's in it is what allows me to workout and then go to work. Being a fitness influencer has taught me so much and having functional bag that will help you have the discipline to workout everyday is huge for me. If you are noticing how your gym bag isn't doing enough for you I urge you to go check out the Buhi Co. gym bag line especially the Atlas Duffle!
