The first and most important thing is a good pair of sports shoes or cross-country shoes with plenty of cushioning for greater support and comfort. Also be sure to include some type of clothing that will help keep you cool or warm depending on the weather outside. Of course, don't forget a bottle of water: hydration is essential, as your workouts will most likely make you sweat more than normal.

Waterproof toiletry bag

When you go up to the classroom or go to class, you usually carry a bottle of water, a cell phone, keys, the key to the locker... several things that are difficult to transport. As we already know that you are looking for comfort and practicality, above all, we assume that you would prefer not to have to carry the entire bag throughout the gym, so we recommend taking a look at our toiletries bags with waterproof fluorine lining, which are very practical for this situation.  Once you try them you can't not wear them. It will become a "must" in your gym bag. Furthermore, with its cord you can hang it on all the machines to have it at hand.

Sports watch

Sports watches are essential for those who take their training seriously. Thanks to today's technology, advances keep you informed and make tracking your performance easier than ever. In addition, they have a multitude of functions, such as heart rate monitoring, advanced reception of GPS signals, water resistance and much more. Sports watches are an easy way to keep track of your progress and stay motivated.

Exercise clothing

Exercise clothing is designed to provide comfort, freedom of movement and support during training. Their variety is limitless, as they can include: tops, t-shirts, shorts, training pants, leggings, sports bras, sports socks and sweatshirts. In addition, it must be taken into account that these items are usually made of breathable, light and elastic fabrics, such as cotton or nylon, thus allowing you good ventilation and sweat absorption to keep skin cool and dry during exercise.

Hair elastic

Hair ties are a useful tool for keeping your hair in place while working out at the gym. These accessories are usually made of elastic materials, such as rubber or spandex, and can be different thicknesses and sizes to adapt to different hair types.

Items for your personal hygiene

It is important to carry some personal hygiene items when you go to the gym, to stay fresh, clean and comfortable during and after training. Here are some essential items that we recommend taking: deodorant, bath gel or soap, shampoo and conditioner, comb, moisturizing cream, cologne or perfume. 

And all this, it is very important to keep it safe in your sports bag, so you can use another of the bags with waterproof lining from MY WANDER so that these products do not leak all over your sports bag. A good example is the Drops Olive Toiletry Bag.

Card, bracelet or paper to identify yourself

Identifying yourself with a card, bracelet or piece of paper provided by the gym can help you save time. In this way, everyone attending the establishment will always have quick and easy access to all your favorite activities without having to go through lengthy registrations at the reception. Whether you're participating in a group class or exercising solo, having all your information stored on a card, bracelet, or paper makes the registration process much easier and fast.

And for the first day of GYM? What do you recommend? ?

On your first day at the gym, it's important to make sure you have everything you need. It is essential to wear a good pair of sneakers and comfortable clothing for exercising. Choose light clothing that does not prevent you from moving and is breathable, since you are going to sweat and be hot. Don't forget to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated during exercise. Finally, if you want to listen to music to motivate you or simply to remind you that it's time to rest, some headphones will come in handy. Get ready for your first session at the gym and never forget these four key items when you leave through the door.

From MY WANDER we recommend the Gia weekend and sports bag so you can carry everything you need. In addition, they are very stylish bags that you can use when you leave the gym to have a drink without having to go home to change bags.

What clothes to wear to the gym?

When deciding what to wear to the gym, comfort should be your number one priority. Think breathable fabrics like cotton and opt for stretchy materials that move with you. Plus, the lightweight shorts will help keep you cool and comfortable during your workout. loose-fitting t-shirts with supportive sports bras in dark colors also won't make any accidental wardrobe malfunctions stand out. For colder environments, look no further than a lightweight hoodie and running tights – a must-have gym classic!

What towel to take to the gym?

When it comes to towels, you have quite a few options. Whether you prefer the quick absorbency of a large beach towel or the soft feel of a small personal towel, there are plenty of options. Each has its own advantages depending on your individual needs. If you need something convenient to carry and dry quickly, a microfiber towel may be best for you.If your main goal is comfort and absorbency, nothing beats the classic terry towel. Whichever option suits you best, taking a towel to the gym means maximum post-workout cleanliness , as well as greater comfort when drying sweat.

And these are the accessories you should never bring to the gym

When it comes to accessories, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the gym. Accessories such as rings, watches and pendant jewelry can not only be uncomfortable, but also dangerous for certain exercises. It is always better to leave these types of accessories at home when you go to the gym. Not only do long necklaces or earrings put you in danger of getting caught on your own body weight or equipment, but belts, scarves, and even hats can distract you or getting too hot while exercising. The last thing you want is to have a sweaty face while exercising. Practical accessories such as training gloves and headbands are much more suitable for any gym session.

Chewing gum

Chewing gum can be a helpful way to focus and block out other distractions during an intense workout. It also helps your jaw get some of the muscle benefits that come with weight training; You just need to remember to keep track and dispose of the gum properly when you're done.

Makeup

If you decide to wear makeup at the gym, it's important to choose lightweight, sweat-proof productsr that don't clog your pores. Make sure to clean your skin well after exercise and avoid wearing excessive makeup or for long periods of time. It is best to avoid makeup at the gym and instead focus on hydrating and protecting your skin with sunscreen and moisturizers

Glass bottles or other easy-to-break material

In general, it is not recommended to use glass bottles in the gym as they can break and cause injury to other gym users or staff. It is preferable to use plastic or stainless steel bottles, as they are more resistant and less likely to break. Additionally, some gyms have specific rules about the type of bottles that can be used, so it's important to check the gym's rules before bringing your water bottle. 

Jewelry

If you want to wear some jewelry while you exercise, it is better to opt for small, simple jewelry, such as small earrings or a simple chaine. Make sure jewelry is fitted tightly and cannot get caught on machines or equipment.
