First week at the gym: what did you actually pack in your gym bag?
Heading to the gym for the first few sessions and not sure what to bring? Share one item you found indispensable (towel, shoes, water, padlock, snacks, earphones, etc.) and one thing you packed that you never used. Small practical habits and regional details (monsoon sweat, shared showers) welcome — what made your early gym visits easier?

Pack a small microfiber towel + shower flip‑flops and a spare dry set of clothes — changing out of sweaty gear quickly and using shower sandals cuts fungal/skin infection risk in shared showers. Wipe equipment before/after use (most gyms provide disinfectant) and use hand sanitizer or wash hands after touching shared surfaces. Prefer breathable, quick‑dry fabrics and keep a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
