IN YOUR
GYM
STYLE COUNCIL
BAG? ESSENTIALS
Your gym bag should be your
fitness "bag of tricks." Although
every gym bag is unique, and
will probably reflect the fitness
goals and personality of the
person who carries it, every bag
should have a few essentials.
SKINS A400

tights feature 24 panels made
from five different technical
fibers in order to more

the body. Use them for lifting,
running, or anytime you want

points.

GORUCK GYM DUFFEL
GoRuck is known best for their astonishingly tough
GR1 backpack – a bombproof tactical bag that
can stand up to an absurd amount of punishment.
But, they have also parlayed their talents into
a wealth of other carry options, like their Gym
Duffel. Available in three colors, this workout
bag is built from military-grade, water-resistant
1000D Cordura, has a 38-litre main compartment,
and is strength-tested to carry over a whopping
400-pound load. If toughness is what you’re
looking for in a gym bag, this should be your top
choice!

Adidas Powerlift 3
A good deadlift or squat starts at your feet, and these
kicks set the standard for weightlifting shoes: Designed
for more efficient power transfer from your feet to the
floor, they also feature a slightly raised heel to achieve
greater depth while squatting.
