9 Best Gym Bags for Workouts On the Go
Carving out time to work out just might be one of the greatest challenges of traveling. But when it comes to logistics, having the right gym bag just might be the jumpstart needed for a dose of motivation. Whether you prefer a tote, a duffel, or a crossbody bag to hold your workout essentials, there's a wide range of lightweight, packable options to choose from. Some of our top picks are convertible and even double as carry-ons, personal items, or weekender bags, making them ideal for travelers. The best gym bags have thoughtful features, like a water bottle pocket, a separate compartment for post-workout clothes and shoes, and zippered pockets to keep small items easy to reach on the go. Many also have luggage sleeves so you can easily sit them up on top of your suitcase, while several have straps or compartments to tote around yoga mats or pickleball paddles. To find our favorites, we prioritized durability, giving preference to those made of recycled materials, as well as comfort, whether it's padded straps or reinforced handles. Here are our picks of the best travel-friendly gym bags, primed for fitness enthusiasts. Top picks: Calpak Fit gym bag $140 $119 Calpak Dimensions: 19.25"L x 8"W x 12.75"H Weight: 1.5 lb. Capacity: 25L Warranty: Return coverage for a small fee Best of all worlds! Every convenient gym bag feature imaginable is rolled into this Calpak Fit Gym Bag, a favorite of Traveler's commerce editor Meaghan Kenny for pilates classes and hotel gym sessions. The sling-style curvature makes it easy to carry, whether as a crossbody or shoulder bag, plus it has a water bottle exterior pocket, an interior strap for another water bottle, a shoe compartment, key clip, trolley sleeve, zippered phone pocket, and a yoga mat strap. This gym bag really does it all—and it's just the right size to double as a weekender for quick getaways. Pros: Functional storage pockets, adjustable padded straps, antimicrobial lining Cons: Length may be tough to store in smaller lockers and under plane seats Lululemon 3-in-1 gym duffle bag $158 Lululemon Dimensions: 18.5"L x 7.7"W x 10.6"H Weight: 2.5lb. Capacity: 30L Warranty: One-year limited warranty Lululemon's attention to functionality shines in this roomy duffel, available in black or gray, with a large main compartment for flexibility of use, as well as a separate zipper shoe storage space that fits men's shoes up to size 14, and the zipper pocket on the side fits water bottles up to 24 ounces. A drawstring pouch is also included to keep sweaty workout clothes separate. Pros: Water-repellent, recycled nylon, shoulder strap doubles as stretching strap or yoga mat carrier Cons: Super casual style, must spot clean Béis The Sport Duffle backpack $108 Béis Dimensions: 17.3"L x 8.8"W x 9.8"H Weight: 2.13 lb. Capacity: 23.5L Warranty: 45-day return or exchange When it comes to functionality, Béis rises to the top, with details that make a difference. Think: a trolley sleeve with a zippered bottom so it can double as a pocket and a key leash. But the thing this sports duffel has going for it the most is that the style and silhouette is simple yet chic, making it elevated enough to double as a carry-on for business travel. (Plus it has a sense of humor: Its drawstring bag for laundry is labeled 'Dirt Bag.') Pros: Sleek design, convertible to backpack, travel-friendly colorways Cons: Limited return policy Athleta All About sling bag $65 $39 Athleta Dimensions: 8"L x 3"W x 13.5"H Weight: 8 oz.

The 16-inch laptop pocket makes this crossbody work-friendly, while hidden exterior pockets (one zippered and one slip) make it easy to access essentials while traveling. As a germaphobe, one of my favorite aspects is that this bag is machine washable. Pros: Lightweight, machine washable, large laptop pocket, water repellant Cons: Limited capacity

These 48 Travel Essentials Will Help You Pack Efficiently
A packing list pad that's *very* comprehensive and can help you decide what you need to pack in your checked bag versus your carry-on. It even includes essential documents like your passport and ID, because forgetting those would be a nightmare. Say goodbye to anxiously trying to remember if you brought a charger because this simple list has already thought of everything for you! A pack of vacuum-free space-saving compression bags so you can bring all your bulky sweaters and jackets on that trip to Scotland. These are great for cramming as much as you can (and then some) into your suitcase, AND they make it much easier to sort through your carry-on to pull out toiletries or other items for security. *Plus* a set of packing cubes to help you squeeze in more by keeping everything neat and compressed. You'll be amazed at how much you can fit in your luggage, and since everything is organized into little sections, it'll be a snap to unpack and get on with your trip! A Béis backpack that's basically a duffel bag disguised as an aesthetic personal item that'll fit right under your seat. It opens like a suitcase and genuinely fits so much, with built-in compartments (so you can keep your liquids separate) and a sleek laptop sleeve. Plus, it has a convenient pass-through strap letting it sit neatly on top of your suitcase, sparing your back as you haul your stuff to your gate. Or a wheeled carry-on bag if you're not the type to lug around a heavy backpack; instead, you can simply roll through the airport and down city streets — easy breezy. This one *also* has tons of storage space! A garment and travel bag set, a two-in-one wonder that's the *perfect* way to get around paying for a checked bag while still bringing everything you need. It transforms from a hanging garment bag into a roomy carry-on with an anti-theft lock to keep your belongings in your possession (where they BELONG). A compact eight-compartment pill organizer to avoid cramming a bunch of medication and supplement bottles into your bag, effectively taking up all the space you needed for socks. A travel flossing toothbrush that oh-so-conveniently folds in half so you can still get some thorough teeth cleaning while on the go. It has dual-layered bristles: regular ones and ultra-long, thin flossing bristles that get *deep* in between your teeth and gums. Some TSA-friendly shampoo and conditioner bars so there's one less thing to pull out of your bag going through security. These long-lasting bars are made with plant-based ingredients that'll help your hair look and feel all soft and fluffy after a sweaty day of exploring a new city. *Plus* a compact I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo with a sponge applicator that'll come in clutch when your flight lands and you've got dinner plans, but your hair is looking a little too greasy for your liking. Some Tide sink packets allowing you to wash your smelly clothes in the sink so they don't stink up your bag. These can easily fit in your toiletries bag — even when it's packed to the brim — and you'll be so glad you brought them when you run out of clean underwear. A fold-flat jewelry organizer with an earring panel, necklace holders, padded ring rolls, and zippered compartments to organize all your different accessories. It's made from soft quilted cotton that compresses nicely so you can squeeze it in with everything else. A fanny pack to keep all your travel essentials close by and easily accessible so you don't have to spend literal *minutes* digging through your backpack just for some gum. Don't let its size fool you; this little guy can hold a lot — wallet, phone, earbuds, keys, those all-important snacks — all while keeping you hands-free. A simple luggage strap so you can easily run around the airport without worrying about leaving anything behind. It'll keep your personal items (neck pillow, jacket, purse, etc.) nice and together. A teensy, on-the-go Gillette Venus razor that comes with a small protective case to keep the blades fresh. The rubber grip makes the handle so easy to hold, despite its miniature size! A six-piece monthly Nuuly clothing subscription because sometimes you want to wear a flowy linen dress JUST in Greece. This allows you to rent high-quality clothes worthy of being on your Pinterest travel board without fully committing to buying them. A fan-favorite off-the-shoulder jumpsuit you can pair with sneakers and a jacket for a comfy-chic traveling look, then swap into some sandals with a cute purse for a brunch-and-mimosas moment at a local cafe. A set of cooling patches in case you fall asleep on the beach and wake up all sunburned and swollen. They're also great for other ailments such as fevers, bug bites, or even just offsetting the sluggishness from your flight! A 2-in-1 hair tool that curls and straightens so you can achieve the perfect balance of texture and shine with just one tool. It's easy to pack for trips and dual-voltage so you can have gorgeous hair no matter what country you're visiting. A 4-in-1 Alleyoop Pen Pal, which combines everything you need (mascara, brow pencil, eyeliner, and highlighter) into one compact tool so you can save space and still look cute. Or a 4-in-1 makeup brush set if you already have your ~essential~ travel makeup but hate packing different brushes. This is the size of one brush but opens like a Russian nesting doll to reveal *three* other brushes, so you can do a full face with just one gadget — innovation at its finest. 😌 A universal travel adapter that works in 160 countries, so you can rest assured your devices will stay charged on all your international adventures. It has four USB ports and one outlet socket, so you can charge up to five devices at once! I'd bet money that if there were a modern-day Indiana Jones, he'd have this in his travel bag. And a non-surge cruise-approved power strip with two USB-C and two regular USB ports, plus three standard outlets in case your cabin only has one, but you and your partner have a combined total of seven devices to keep charged. A wide-mouth water bottle that won't take up much space in your bag, and you can fill it up at the airport instead of buying their overpriced water. Plus, it's so much more convenient to carry around on your trip than other loud, bulky water bottles (*side-eyes Hydro Flasks*). A solid Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen that's carry-on-friendly and works just as well as spray-on or lotion sunscreens. Now you can enjoy your sunny vacation without burning up! An Arden Cove anti-theft *and* waterproof vegan-leather purse with enough space for all your travel essentials, and even a Kindle. There's an RFID-blocking compartment for your cards, so you don't need to bring your wallet if you don't want to. This is just THE "it girl" of travel purses. Or just an RFID-blocking travel wallet to keep your most important documents protected and together. This thing is nicely organized — so when you're going through security, you *won't* be frantically digging through your bag for your passport as the TSA agent glares at you. A TSA-friendly toiletries set that you can fill with your tried-and-true faves instead of spending more money on travel-size versions. These are reusable and leakproof, so your products (and other stuff in your bag!) will stay protected. Or just a clear TSA-approved toiletry bag to keep all your liquid products together. Plus, there's nothing worse than frantically trying to get all your products in and out of your luggage — and this is so much sturdier than a Ziploc bag. A splurge-worthy set of Cadence Capsules that stick together ~magnetically~ and take up way less space in your bag than big pill bottles. They'll help you condense so you're bringing what you actually need (and not overpacking); plus, they're leakproof and incredibly sturdy so you can fill 'em with whatever: creams, vitamins, small jewelry — truly anything small that you want to keep safe. An electronics organizer because Apple keeps changing their charger, and if you want to travel with all your devices, you'll need their special ports and cables. This'll keep your cords from getting tangled and other tech accessories neatly tucked away, and it's especially great for when you're traveling in a group. A 30-pack of waterproof zippered pouches reviewers have used to organize everything from makeup and toiletries to chargers and snacks. Since they're transparent, you'll be able to easily locate and throw the right one in the security bin without unpacking your whole bag. Parents in particular *love* these for keeping everything neat and safe from spills! A soft faux-leather tote for the shoulder bag preferrers. This is a great option that'll hold everything you need, from electronics to toiletries, all while keeping you looking stylish and chic. A handbag organizer that has a spot for everything, from your ID to the jewelry you need to remove before security, so those essentials can stay neatly arranged in your bag — it's especially great for totes. Now you don't have to choose your purse based on how many pockets it has, *and* it'll be super easy to switch bags since you can just move the organizer from purse A to purse B. A pack of insect-repellent wipes you can slip into any pocket — then thank the universe when you aren't getting eaten by bugs in that tropical locale you're flying to. A sensitive skin–friendly solid vegan facial cleanser to throw in your toiletries bag so you can be free of finagling with a funnel to get your expensive face wash into a travel-size bottle (or settling for a generic face wash that may have harsh chemicals). Some expandable hangers for those long trips where you'll be making yourself at home in a hotel or Airbnb, because they never have enough hangers. These give you a way to hang and organize your clothes so you don't have to keep tearing up your suitcase to find that one shirt at the bottom. Some reusable bottle bags to keep the fancy bottle of prosecco you're bringing back from Italy safe and sound. And if it *does* spill, you'll be happy to hear this bag is designed to catch all of the liquid, so your clothes and souvenirs will be safe! A digital luggage scale — just strap it around the handle, pull up a little, and it'll tell you the weight of your suitcase! We all know that haunting feeling of approaching the check-in desk, not knowing if we'll have to A) pay way too much for a bag or B) open our suitcase on the floor in front of everyone and frantically rearrange everything. A Hackwith Design House shirt because there's nothing more travel-friendly than a top you can wear *five* different ways (that we know of — but you might discover more playing around with it). It's timeless because you can always change how you style it, and it's made from a high-quality fabric that's soft, breathable, and can last for years. A USB-rechargeable hand warmer to keep your fingers from freezing off on that ski vacation. It's super easy to use, offering *three* heat settings and double-sided warmth — so you don't have to pick which hand deserves to be saved from the cold first. A Trtl travel pillow designed to wrap around your neck like a scarf — you can adjust how it's sitting for max comfort, with better ergonomic support than traditional neck pillows. *Plus* when you're not using it, you can simply fold it up and toss it in your bag or even wrap it around the handle of your carry-on! A Stojo collapsible travel cup that comes with a straw and is microwave safe so you can reheat your lukewarm beverage instead of dumping it out! Once you've finished your drink, you can just collapse it and throw it in your bag instead of carrying around an empty full-size travel mug. And some highly rated instant coffee to put in said cup. This stuff has a two-year shelf life, and you'll be sooo happy to have it in your bag when you need your caffeine but don't want to drop $15 at the airport. A travel infinity scarf with a hidden zipper pocket cleverly integrated into its design, allowing you to keep your essentials — like your passport, wallet, keys, and more — secure and easily accessible. And you can wear it sooo many different ways, including covering your head and shoulders (but not your knees and toes, lol) if you are traveling to a place that requires you to do so! Or a versatile, lightweight shawl if you're fancy, and because the plane is somehow *always* colder than expected. But this lovely pashmina will also come in handy throughout your trip: Wear it around your neck while walking to dinner, then drape it around your shoulders for some added warmth inside the chilly restaurant. A versatile slip dress that'll fit in your suitcase even when you think you've maxed out your packing space. It's super comfortable with its silky material and adjustable straps, and you can style it for a variety of travel occasions: Hit the town with sneakers and an open button-up thrown over the top, then jazz it up with heels and elegant jewelry for a night out. A airplane seat back organizer because, let's face it, constantly getting up to grab something from your carry-on is a pain for you and everyone around you. This thing and its four roomy pockets make it so easy to reach all the gadgets and goodies you brought for your flight without leaving your seat. Annnd it saves you from the all-too-common experience of reaching into your airplane pulling out used napkins. 🤢

28 Products To Make You The Happiest Little Clam On Your Next Trip

Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth!

A set of easy-to-use, super adaptable "luggage bungees" so you can attach pillows, duffel bags, and backpacks to your wheeled suitcases and zip through the airport without lugging a bunch of things in your hands.

A pair of investmentworthy Loop Quiet 2 "hidden" earplugs designed with traveling in mind — this newly updated version is lightweight and flexible for a barely there fit that still manages to effectively muffle noise, whether you're trying to get some shut-eye on a flight, focus during a work trip, or relax in a noisy city hotel.

A mobile "week away" dog gear bag for pet owners who like to keep themselves as efficient, organized, and well-prepared as possible. This waterproof bag includes two collapsible dog bowls and two lined pet food storage container bags that slide neatly inside and leave pleeeenty of room for other essentials, like leashes, toys, pee pads, and medication. A tiny 3-in-1 portable charger that folds down to the size of a little macaron, but cleverly expands to charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time.
