What to wear to the gym and what to bring to the gym

Most gym-goers know the basics of what they should wear at the gym and what to bring to the gym.  

We know we probably don’t need to tell you to bring water and wear breathable gym clothes.  

But- what do you wear or bring to the gym when you want to accelerate your performance and top your personal best? 

You’re also likely to need different clothing and accessories depending on your goals and workouts. You'll need to consider what to wear for cardio and what accessories could enhance your strength training. 

We’ve compiled our top picks for what to wear and bring to the gym to increase the impact of all exercise routines.  

What to wear to the gym 

We love these gym wear picks - all of which are unisex and incredibly versatile to suit any goal! 

Looking for a gym top to keep you cool during cardio? 

Tank tops are an ideal choice in the gym when working up a sweat. They’re a great option for all genders to exercise comfortably, without restricting their movement. GymShark have great options for both men and women. 

Looking for a wearable fitness tracker?  

The Fitbit Charge 5 Activity Tracker is perfect for beginners and experienced athletes alike, in the market for a tracker that is not just easily wearable but highly accurate. 

Looking for long-lasting earphones?  

The Beats Fit Pro earphones are both water and sweat resistant, making them perfect for when you push yourself to maximum output.  

What to bring to the gym 

If you’re looking to boost your results from your workouts, try these performance-enhancing gym accessories that you can take with you or use at home! 

Looking to enhance your grip strength?  

Try these Thick Grips, which you can wrap around dumbbells and bars to increase their width. This makes gripping the bar harder and will increase your grip and forearm strength. 

Looking for a weight-lifting belt, but you’re a smaller build?  

This narrow lever belt is perfect for those with shorter torsos, such as women, shorter athletes, or simply those who enjoy some extra mobility when lifting. A good quality weight-lifting belt is vital to provide support for those lifts that require extra power and stability.  

Looking for a new way to tone?  

Bringing a weighted skipping rope to the gym will allow you to work on your cardiovascular endurance and boost your upper body strength.
