Gym bags became somewhat redundant during lockdown, when the doors of our favourite fitness establishments were slammed shut and gym-goers had no choice but to work out from home. But now, with our favourite yoga and spin classes back up and running like a virus-induced sabbatical never happened, gym bags, too, are back in action.
If you’ve been relying on a dusty old tote bag to take you from office to treadmill in one fell swoop, investing in a dedicated sports bag is of high importance. With more space and greater organisation options than the Prada Raffia tote bag you use to carry your laptop and new book, high-quality gym bags have plenty of space to house a full change of clothes, your running shoes, water bottle and small items and valuables. Often from within a zipped pocket. The best gym bags look a little more like travel bags, if you will – and are often water-resistant to withstand the commotion of your busy routine.
It may sound like we’re asking for a lot, but luckily, there are some seriously stylish gym bags on the market right now that tick our every requirement (and more). From brands like Reebok, Under Armour, Puma and Nike, these unisex gym bags marry design with functionality. And they won’t look out of place doubling up as a weekend bag on your next city break.
