Expert says
Charles Kirunda, a gym instructor at Life Fitness Centre at Garden City, says depending on the purpose one goes to the gym, what they carry will vary because it depends on how one feels. He advises on the following necessities.
Towel to avoid sharing or using those provided by the gym
Comfortable sneakers, those that do not hurt the ankles
Sweat trousers, shirt to suck in the sweat
Music device because what the gym plays may not be of one’s taste.
Water bottle that is your own to avoid unnecessary sharing of cups or bottles that the gym provides
