Fitness and sports towels
Our selection of Fitness Towels brings together the towels for sports enthusiasts: Hummel Old School in small and large sizes, Nike Medium Graphic and Macron Alisei, to wipe off during workouts, protect the equipment, and dry off after showering.
A simple accessory that is essential in the gym.
Essential for the Gym
The towel is the basic accessory for anyone working out at the gym. You place it on benches, mats, and equipment to avoid getting them sweaty: many gyms require this for hygiene. During the workout, it is used to wipe your face and hands to maintain a good grip on bars and dumbbells. After training, a large towel is useful for the shower.
The Other Accessories
Fitness accessories also come in various types:
All the accessories are gathered on the accessories page.
Two Sizes
The medium towel, like the Hummel Old School fifty by one hundred centimetres or the Nike Medium Graphic, is placed on a bench or kept around the neck during the workout: this is the gym size. The large towel, like the Hummel Old School measuring one hundred and sixty centimetres, is used for the shower and changing room, or as a beach towel. Many athletes take both: one for training, one for drying off. The Macron Alisei rounds off the selection for clubs.
Cotton or Microfibre
The towel made of looped cotton, like the Hummel and Nike, is soft and very absorbent, making it the most comfortable on the skin. The microfibre towel, which is thinner and lighter, dries much faster and takes up little space in the bag: it is ideal for travel and outdoor sports. You should wash your towels after each session at forty or sixty degrees for cotton, without fabric softener, which reduces their absorbent capacity, and dry them completely to avoid smells.
Deals
Good deals can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24h are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size towel should I take to the gym?
A small towel, around thirty by fifty centimetres, is enough to wipe your face and protect a bench. Bring a large bath towel if you shower on-site; many athletes slip both into the bag.
Why do gyms require a towel?
For hygiene: placed on benches and mats, the towel prevents leaving your sweat behind and protects the next user. It also limits the spread of bacteria and preserves the equipment’s surface.
Cotton or microfibre towel: what’s the difference?
Looped cotton is soft and very absorbent but dries slowly. Microfibre, fine and light, dries quickly and folds down small in the bag, a plus for the gym and travel.
How to wash a sports towel to avoid odours?
Wash it after each session, at forty or sixty degrees depending on the material, without fabric softener, which reduces its absorbent power. Dry it promptly: left damp in the bag, it develops bacteria and bad odours.
What towel for football or team sports?
For the changing room, a large towel, like the large Hummel Old School size, is used to dry off after a shower. A small towel on the sidelines is handy for wiping off during breaks and half-time.
