Whether you’re a gym bunny\u00a0with your gym bag with you everyday or a keen runner and never without your\u00a0favourite sweat proof headphones – we all have our workout essentials. All of us here at Healthy Living London have different sporting interests so each edit will be different. Starting with Amy, a Classpass <\/a>addict with a preference\u00a0for classes of\u00a0circuits, HIIT and strength classes. Here’s her Top 5 things she never goes without…<\/h5>\n

1. A great gym bag.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Ok I know this is supposed to be about what goes in<\/em> the gym bag… but for me the right gym bag is one of my most important workout essentials! Why do I say this? Well, because I use mine most days, going to and fro from lots of different classes\u00a0and quiet simply, it is now GROSS! This has meant that I am now lusting after a proper gym bag and this one from Sweaty Betty has a separate compartment for some sweaty kit\u00a0and\/or trainers meaning all your other kit\u00a0isn’t sitting there getting squished against them all the time! It is also smart to look at so totally office worthy and lastly (and equally importantly) spacious!<\/p>\n

2. A trusty baseball cap (or in the winter a cosy beanie)\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Whether you are dashing home on the tube post workout, or having a quick spruce up and\u00a0going straight\u00a0off for brunch, having a\u00a0hat with me means I can hide my sweaty\/un-styled\u00a0 hair and look like a slightly\u00a0more appealing member of society.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Training Gloves.<\/strong><\/span> Personally I use training gloves for some circuit classes where you are spending a lot of time on your hands doing burpees, press ups and walk-outs…. some of the floors wreck my hands for some reason so I wear training gloves at some places. Live! who have recently launched here in the UK on the Kings Road,\u00a0have awesome training gloves in lots of beautiful patterns so if the rest of your gym kit is beautiful – there’s no excuse for your gloves not to be too!<\/p>\n

4. A good hairbrush.<\/strong><\/span> When gyms are so well stocked these days it’s easy to forget simple things that you need – like a brush… we’ve all been there. So I\u00a0got one of these compact\u00a0Tangle Teezer’s that now lives in my bag…\u00a0these are perfect even on wet hair and the small compact size is space saving as well… days of finger combing and tying my hair back in a\u00a0tatty bun are no more.<\/p>\n

5. A water bottle.<\/span><\/strong> Hydration is essential, simple. I never, ever go to the gym without a bottle of water. A\u00a0lot of gyms have taps you can fill your own one up with so I keep one permanently in my bag and that way I don’t forget. Oh always look for a leak proof one… nothing more annoying for a soggy gymbag.<\/p>\n
