We’ve come a long way from living room workouts (or hey, maybe you’re still on the at-home yoga kick — I know I am). Regardless of where you choose to exercise, whether that’s at your local gym, on a tennis court, track, or in your backyard, it’s always handy to have a bag to store your equipment, even if that means just the classic keys, phone, and wallet, so that you can keep them in a safe spot while you get your workout in.

Everyone’s lifestyle and workout routine is different — some people are early bird exercises and choose to hit the gym when it’s empty first thing in the morning and then head to work after. Others may go to a yoga class on a weekend morning and not need to bring much else besides their mat and a water bottle.

That’s why we curated a wide range of gym bags that you can grab and pack for Pilates class or even take on a weekend trip. Check out the best gym bags for women, below.

It’s definitely big enough to take on an overnight or weekend trip too.

We all want to be satisfied, even though we know some people who will never be that way, and others who see satisfaction as a foreign emotion that they can’t hope to ever feel.


Peace and happiness can be difficult to catch. Finding the right balance that lets us get to all of the different goals that we have in place is not always as easy as we would like.
