The gym bag
The backpack has become the preferred choice over the classic duffel bag for going to the gym or training: it’s easy to carry by bike, on public transport or on foot, keeps your hands free and distributes the weight across both shoulders. A good sports backpack doesn't just have a large compartment: it organizes your belongings to separate clean from dirty, dry from wet, and keeps valuables within reach.
Other accessories
Fitness accessories come in various forms:
All accessories are gathered on the accessories page.
Useful compartments
A well-designed sports backpack offers a shoe compartment, often located at the bottom and ventilated, which keeps shoes separate from everything else. A waterproof pocket holds the towel and wet clothing after a shower. A padded pocket protects a laptop or tablet for switching between work and the gym. Side mesh pockets hold a water bottle, and a small zippered pocket keeps keys, a padlock, and a membership card secure. The Hummel Essential, with shoe compartment, and the Erima Six Wings, very organized, meet these needs.
Team and carrying comfort
Team bags, such as the Hummel Core and Lead, the Erima Six Wings, the Mizuno Team, or the Joma bag, come in the colours of their brands' textile ranges to equip an entire club uniformly. For comfort, it’s important to check that the straps are padded and adjustable, and that the back is cushioned and ventilated to reduce sweating. The size should be chosen based on use: a small bag for the gym, a larger one to carry a ball and full outfit. It’s a good idea to air out your bag after every session.

Good bargains can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance sales, sales, and Black Friday.

Frequently asked questions
What size of backpack is needed for going to the gym?
Twenty to thirty litres is enough for an outfit, a towel, a water bottle, and a pair of shoes. Beyond that, the size is useful if you’re heading straight to work and need to carry a laptop.
Backpack or sport bag for fitness?
The backpack keeps your hands free and is easy to carry by bike or on public transport. The sports bag, larger and which opens wide, is more practical for driving to the gym.
How to separate wet items in a backpack?
Choose a model with a ventilated shoe pocket or a waterproof compartment. If not, a waterproof pouch placed inside the bag can keep the towel and wet outfit separate from the rest of your belongings.
Can a sports backpack also be used for work?
Yes, as long as it has a padded pocket for the laptop and internal organization for small items. A simple model works well at both the office and the gym or for training.
How to clean a sports backpack that smells bad?
Empty it, turn the pockets inside out, and let it soak in lukewarm water mixed with baking soda or white vinegar, then rinse it and let it dry open, in the air.
