What do you take to the gym? (2 Viewers)

[googled]

I was wandering, for first timers to the gym, what do you need to take?

 

[Gavvvvvin]

A towel to wipe your filthy fucking sweat off the equipment.

Deo to cover up your hideous stench.

Urgh, that's gross (the sweat all over the machines that is). Yuck, but yeah, I figured deo and a towel would be absolutely neccessary.

when i go to the gym, i take:

+ bottle of water
+ 2 towel - a hand towel and a bath towel
+ something to change out of gym clothes
+ thongs (nobody want's to catch athletes foot when they use the showers)
+ shampoo + conditioner
+ soap
+ anti-perspirant/ deoderant
+ a pair of socks

towel - towels are compulsory at a lot of gyms
water bottle

that is pretty much all you need.

Is it common practise to shower at the gym?

Is it common practise to shower at the gym?

depends how far from home you are and if you are rushing off to work etc. after your gym session..

i usually just go straight home and have a shower then - saves packing a towel etc.. but most gyms will have showers if you wish to use them

I never shower at the gym. I dont fancy getting into the n00d in the same room as some other middle age man who is walking around with a effing boner.

Is this just hyperbole or has this really happened to you because that's actually quite disturbing?

Anyway, so like, these machines that everyone is dripping sweat over, ummm, has anyone ever caught like a fungal infection or anything from them?

 

[Ranger Stacie]

i just take water and a towel. dont have a shower unless its necessary, unless you dont mind not being in privacy.. lol about the fungal infection comment. they do clean the machines quite regularly.

Take Powerade or Gatorade. When you sweat you loose salt - like potassium level drops alot., and those sport drinks help rehydrate you. -nodnod-
Otherwise water and a towel will do

 

[hipsta_jess]

So what, gyms don't have showers in individual cubicles, but rather one open common area? eww!

 

[Ranger Stacie]

no, but at my gym anyway, everyone that has showers fully gets dressed in the open area where anyone can just walk in. ive walked in on old ladies powdering their...special places

 

[hYperTrOphY]

Water and a towel are essential.

I take:

- Water
- Towel
- Straps
- Belt
- Post-workout shake
- Programme

Take Powerade or Gatorade. When you sweat you loose salt - like potassium level drops alot., and those sport drinks help rehydrate you. -nodnod-

I prefer to have water during the workout. Although, I add sodium to my post-workout shake to replenish that which is lost.

 

[thecurtainfalls]

the gym i went to before i moved had private showers...

NO WAY IN HELL would i ever shower communally! : |

 

[Demandred]

Towl
Drink bottle
Musashi P40 protien bar
Gloves
Deo

Sometimes a spare towel and change of clothes if I want to shower, my gym has little cubicles with racks for clothes in it.

 

[MiuMiu]

I think my gym membership has run out, but when I do go to the gym I usually just take water, a towel and ipod.
