Gym bag checklist: what to pack for the gym
A gym bag needs 8 things: training shoes, towel, water bottle, headphones, spare shirt, shower gel, padlock and keys. That is the “Gym” template in PackTheDay. Tick it off as you pack and change it however you like.
Why the shoes come first
The order is deliberate. Whatever is hardest to replace comes first: without training shoes there is no session, while shower gel can be borrowed. Our home page tells exactly that story: changed, ready, and the shoes are at home.
How it runs in PackTheDay
Pick your training days and a time for each. PackTheDay checks in on the right day, and you tick items off as the bag fills up. The ticks clear by themselves the night after: Tuesday’s gym bag starts fresh on Thursday.
Questions about this list
Can I change the list?
Yes. Rename, remove, add and reorder items whenever you like. If you never shower at the gym, drop the shower gel.
What if I skip a training day?
Then you skip that day. Your streak waits for you.
Do I need PackTheDay Plus for this?
No. Three lists with reminders, widgets and Apple Watch are free for good.
