What’s in Our Gym Bag? 10 Products We Can’t Sweat Without

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

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.

2. Workout Clothes: Girlfriend Collective Leggings and Sports Bras

Soft, supportive, and insanely comfy—Girlfriend Collective’s ethically created leggings and bras are an easy favorite. Plus, they hold up through every workout and come in colors that make us feel like the main character.

3. All-Natural Deodorant: Native Deodorant

Because nobody wants to be that person at the gym. Native’s deodorant smells amazing (coconut & vanilla, anyone?) and actually works. It’s gentle on your skin, too.

4. Yoga Mat: Alo Warrior Mat

Whether it’s yoga, Pilates, or a quick stretch, the Alo Warrior Mat is the ultimate workout sidekick. It’s durable and grippy enough to handle whatever you throw at it.

5. Towels: Slowtide Quick-Dry Towel

Sweat happens, and Slowtide’s quick-dry towels are here for it. Lightweight, compact, and stylish, they’re perfect for workouts or post-gym showers. Take them to the beach too.

6. Post-Workout Snacks: Mezcla Vegan Bars

No gym bag is complete without snacks. Mezcla Bars are our go-to for quick post-workout fuel. Simple ingredients, bold flavors—like Pistachio Chocolate and Matcha Vanilla, what’s not to love??

7. Skincare Staple: Cocokind Facial Cleansing Oil

After a workout, keeping your skin clean and fresh is a non-negotiable. Cocokind’s Cleansing Oil is gentle and leaves your face feeling clean and hydrated. It’s a must-have in our gym bags.

8. Resistance Bands: Bala Resistance Band Set

Perfect for warming up or squeezing in some strength training, these resistance bands are lightweight and easy to pack with three different strength levels. We use for yoga, Pilates, home workouts, and rehabilitation (yes, we all have to stretch more). They’re a low-key way to level up your workout.

9. Shoes That Do It All: Allbirds Tree Dashers

I was never a huge fan before until I saw the Tree Dashers and then I started to have a soft spot fo Allbirds. Could their running shoes feel as good as they look? Yes, indeed. Allbirds Tree Dashers are comfy, versatile, and perfect for everything from gym sessions to casual strolls.

10. Reusable Face Wipes: LastObject LastRound

Single-use wipes? So last year. LastRound’s reusable cotton rounds are perfect for freshening up. Just rinse, reuse, and repeat.
