Packing for the gym isn’t just about tossing in the basics anymore. At The Hook Report, we’re all about curating a gym bag that’s loaded with functional, stylish, and totally game-changing products. Here’s what we’re obsessed with for our workouts right now.

1. Reusable Water Bottle: BruMate's Era Straw Tumbler

I can't function without this.

We’d never leave for a workout without a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Our all-around fave has been BruMate's Era Straw Tumbler – she's sturdy, keeps our water icy cold, and comes in tons of cute colors. Hydration never looked so good.
