Put an extra set of clothes in your gym bag. If you're going to the gym from work, pack tennis shoes, socks, workout shorts or pants and a T-shirt. Women should pack a sports bra. If you're going to work from the gym, wear your workout clothes to the gym, and pack your work clothes, work shoes and fresh underwear.

Put an extra hair elastic band in your bag if you have long hair. Pack a hair brush and hair dryer, too.

Throw in toiletries such as body wash, shampoo and deodorant. You'll need these if you take a shower before leaving the gym.

Pack a swimsuit and towel in the bag, as well. The swimsuit can be worn in your gym's sauna or hot tub, and the towel can be used for the pool or shower.

Bring flip-flops if you plan on using the shower or pool. Public areas are where viruses can be transferred onto your feet, so keep them protected at all times.
