What do you use in the gym for all your bits?

[seasally]

I'm new to the gym and wondering what everyone does with their car keys, membership card, water bottle, phone with workout on...?
I don't have any pockets and wonder if you use a locker just for your keys and card?

I have a small bag but I put it in my locker. Our gym has tiny lockers in the actual gym too for keys etc (it wouldn't fit a bag).
I have my phone, pass (I need it to connect to machines) and water with me

I’ve got a running waistband I put my car keys in. I have my water, glasses and phone on the floor most of the time!
I rarely see anyone else with a water bottle which is so strange to me!!

I have a gym bag and just put it on the floor by the staff desk. Never had a problem and I can keep an eye on it. Otherwise, don't they have lockers in your changing room?

I put everything in the locker except my phone. My leggings or shorts have a phone pocket, or else I just stick it my waistband when I'm moving around.

@Justcallmebebes Yes they have lockers in the changing room but it seemed a bit much to just put my car key and card in it!
@Countrylife2002 I haven't seen many with water either.

It looks like you are all doing the same as me then, I just hadn't noticed anyone else collecting all their bits between machines!

There was a lady a little older than me yesterday (but lifting heavier weights !) who was just going round with a wicker basket which I thought was so cool !

I use a running belt for my phone, then carry the towel and water bottle.

For a class where I don't want music, my phone can go in the locker with the rest of my gubbins.

I leave my phone in the car. I keep my membership card on the keyring with my car keys and that and my water bottle go on the floor next to me.

I use a small fabric, zip top bag (smaller than a clutch bag type size). Big enough for my phone, membership card and car keys.

I just carry it around with me, when I'm going between equipment, plus it's small enough to sit on the equipment as I'm using it too.

The changing room for the gym is too quiet and I'd be worried someone would jemmy the locker door and pinch my stuff so I put it in the swimming pool lockers as that area is more open and there are people walking around. I swim after anyway so it's handy.

My gym lets you scan your membership card via an app which solves the keycard problem. I use a locker for long trousers/warm layers in the winter but I do like summer when I don't need to stash extra stuff. If I'm doing a short strength workout I don't sweat very much so often don't bother with a water bottle - obviously that's different for a cardio or HIIT session but I mostly do cardio outside.

So mostly I take into the gym just my phone, which I put on the floor within sight of where I'm working out and move it between sets as needed. I often do have a pocket in my leggings but wouldn't want to risk bashing the phone if I fall or misplace a weight!

My hoody with car keys goes in a locker. I need my phone to scan in and connect to the machines. All the machines have waterbottle and phone space.

I use small pouch bag (it's actually the waterproof pouch from my baby bag from 10 years ago...). I keep this in my gym bag with my AirPods, gloves I use for lifting weights, lip balm, padlock for locker etc. When I'm not taking my big gym bag I just grab that and put my keys in it too

I have a gym bag and in that goes a mini rucksack, water bottle, earphones, toiletry case.

My mini rucksack I take in the gym because in it it has lifting straps, knee sleeves, mini plates, barbell clips and gloves.

For my locker fob I have it attached to a d ring which is attached to a clip so that I can clip it to my keys then unclip it and attach to my water bottle or rucksack and leave my keys in the locker.

My gym bag is big enough to hold the above plus a towel and one change of clothes and shoes but it's a bit snug. The next size up was a bit too big especially since day to day it's not even half full.

Love the wicker basket idea! I am using an arm band for phone etc, the sort that runners use.

So these gyms with teeny tiny lockers have no showers presumably?
How does that work?! 😬

It's so interesting to read all the different replies. I opted for taking a small pouch which worked best for me. I tried the pocket but my phone didn't feel so secure and my card flew out every time I needed to check my workout.
It's all part of feeling comfortable in a new environment I suppose!
Thank you all!

I always have clothes to change into so have a big bag with everything in it and just take my water, phone and straps with me. Headphones on my head obviously.

I always have a hoodie, even if it's 30c. But I only ever have my keys and my headphone case so they go in my pocket or just dumped on the floor with my towel on the rare occasions I've gone without a hoodie or I'm wearing my hoodie when I'm working out. I keep my hoodie with me. My purse if I take it gets left in the car.

I don't take a bag or change of clothes though.
