Look: A lot of folks don’t need a dedicated gym bag—you can simply throw your stuff into whatever canvas tote you have lying around and be on your merry way. But trust us when we say that, for a lot of people, having the best gym bag for your workout of choice—one that’s designed with your specific packing and commuting needs in mind—is a worthwhile investment. Whether you’re hauling your clothes and toiletries with you to a HIIT class before you head straight to work or want to properly organize all the intramural sport equipment that you’ve just been throwing in your backseat, these duffels, totes, backpacks, and knapsacks can help you keep your things in order, contain any sweaty stuff with ease, and are actually cute. We’ve rounded up editor-tested and well-reviewed gym bags from Nike, Béis, Lululemon, Free People, Dagne Dover, Adidas, and more, including options for all kinds of workout styles. Happy schlepping! (No, seriously—with these picks, carrying your gear might actually be enjoyable.)
