Hey there
What do you do with your gym card, keys, ipod etc when you're in the gym working out? When I'm at the gym I leave my gym bag in changing room but carry my towel, ipod, gym card, etc with me to the work out area? Its a bit of a pain carrying them all around with me as I've no pockets in my gym clothes, does anyone else find this annoying?

For the win.

I just put everything in my locker and then throw the locker key onto my shoe lace. Simple!

I just leave my gym bag in the corner by the squat rack.

Although I am probably going to revise that strategy.
On Sunday some utter ****ing idiot of a young fella was stripping the bar after doing 1/8th squats with about 200kg on the bar (not joking). He stripped the bar on one side and the whole thing obviously toppled out of the rack dumping the plates right where my bag had been about 5 min before hand.

Lucky me.
My phone wallet and Gymboss would have been history.

Everything goes into my locker and its a combo lock so no keys to bring with me, the treadmills have ipod connections so i just plug in and put the ipod in the storage tray..job done!!

My locker key is on an elastic & I put that around my water bottle.
Only bring the bottle and a small towel on to the gym floor.

Get yourself a decent one of these .

A lot of people can't open them even with the combination, I've had one for 10 years now.

I know what you mean though, it's such a pain, even with the locker you're still left with the keys, towel, tissue (for any fellow hayfever sufferers:( ) and no pockets, wish there was something on the market to hold all my bits and bobs in one go, might make me move more nimble round the gym

Dont try to bring my wallet or phone to gym. I will always bring maybe fiver but nothing more.

In fairness my gym is pretty good security wise cant complian but never take the chance if can.

Everything except a sweat towel goes into my locker.
There is no key for the locker, instead my gym card is a electronic key, just hold it to the locker door and it locks/unlocks.

Card into pocket, easy

Thanks everyone for your replies, will have to travel lighter next time I'm at the gym I think:)

towel over shoulder, key on a rubber band around my wrist, crappy little mp3 player tucked into the waistband of my shorts.

card stays in bag in the locker

Combination lock - so no key.

Gym card is not required on the floor of my current gym - previously I used to pop it into my sports bra.

iPod has an arm strap.

I carry a water bottle and small towel.

I take a small bag with me.

Sweat towel, water bottles, exercise book for reference, keys, phone, gym card, locker key, workout sheet. Keeps the hands free.

Where do you hold keys, gym cards etc when in gym?
