Clean the inside of your bag, make sure that it is dry and free of any powders or other things that can damage your camera equipment.

Put the big things in first. If you have a tripod for your camera, fit that into the gym bag first. You might also have lighting tools such as umbrellas and camera lights with their own tripods that need to go into your new camera bag first.

Put in your camera. Make sure that your camera is properly stored within its own bag. Most likely the camera bag that came with your camera when you bought it. If you didn't get one with it, then go out and buy a camera bag that will only fit your camera in it. Also make sure that your camera lenses are secure within their cases before you put them into your new camera bag.
