It seems I'm to the point that I have to take my large suitcase even for 4-5 day trips. Gone are the days that I carry on for a week trip.

Use to be:
work clothes
work out clothes
running shoes (dual purpose running and gym)

Now I've added:
Workout DVDs
Workout Bands in a bag
Blender
Shake mix
recovery drink mix
cup (to mix recovery drink in)
Spin shoes


UGH!

longwaybackhome

I'm still at

sports bras (which I use for anything that involves my moving around a lot, such as the concerts I'm going to in February)
specifically workout shirts
workout shorts
extra socks
sneakers (which are technically running shoes)

as well as whatever else I'd usually bring.

TrojanHorse

used to:

weight belt
gloves
wrist wraps
sneakers
gym clothes

now:

gloves
sneakers
gym clothes

but to be fair,

other than the workout gloves, I'd take shorts and T shirts along with sneakers even if I wasn't working out

annerj

I think I'd probably just take jeans, t-shirts and shoes.

I'm obviously now checking my bag each time I travel. Worth it so far for me as it feels like I'm saving a ton of time working out at home/hotel vs shlepping to the gym all the time (down to 2-3 times/week at the actual gym)

aztimm

Typically just the following--

for running and/or gym--
running shoes
shorts (that can be used for running or gym)
2 shirts (a sleeveless and short sleeve, possibly a long sleeve, depending on weather)
2-3 pairs of athletic socks
Garmin watch, charger, computer USB, HR monitor, and old iPhone case (contains an extra Amex and a passport card that I carry for running), sunglasses, running earbuds (I wear Sennheiser twist-to-fit)
sometimes weightlifting gloves

if racing/doing long training runs my 2 bottle Nathan water belt

for swimming--
board shorts
1 mesh drag suit
2 brief suits (just in case one tears or something)
2 goggles (1 tinted and 1 clear)
1 Speedo swim chamois towel

I roll the board shorts around everything else.


If I'm not planning to run/lift, I can fit the swimming stuff (in the board shorts) in my backpack. Otherwise, it all easily fits in a roller bag.

Mine depends on what I'm training for at the time
Half Marathon Training
running shoes
running shorts
sports bras
heart rate monitor (comes with me every week)
running tights depending on the weather
sleeves depending on weather
ear warmers
Nike+ iPod thingie

Tri Training
all of the above
2 swimsuits
goggles
fins
paddles
waterproof iPod case (it makes the long swims much more bearable)

I used to travel with a yoga mat, but I've ditched that in favor of Clorox wipes for the studio provided mats (I'm slightly OCD)

gym clothes
gym shoes

then I go to the hotel' fitness and do what I can until unch time comes

Ancien Maestro

Usually don't pack fitness clothes.. except a pair of swim trunks usually and some t-shirts for casual wear..

Fairmonts where we stay at provides a program called Fairmont Fit.. A complete set of top, shorts, shoes and socks.. delivered clean right to the room..

annerj

Wow....I've never heard of anything like that.

taylorc418

Yea, I'm pretty sure none of the Hamptons where I "live" during the work week offer that

aztimm

I've heard about this program too. But I don't like the idea of using someone else's gym shoes or clothing... Unless everything is brand new, and even then, I'd still want my own running shoes (I'm pretty particular about them).

When I run, I'll sometimes get a blister, a hangnail, or whatever on a foot that could cause cuts/bruises...and I'd assume others do too. Just kinda creeps me out to wear someone else's socks (or underwear), even if it is washed. Running shoes can wear differently. And don't even get me started on chest chaffing...

annerj

For running the shoes would be a deal breaker....I'm not going to wear new shoes or someone elses shoes for a run of any length.

For the gym, I'm not sure it would matter much to me.....it is a bit weird to think about. What kind of clothes are these? Can the poster provide us with brand names for the clothes?

Ancien Maestro

The program extends to a personal profile where you select size of shirt, shorts and size of running shoes.. The clothes is delivered in a basket and free for elite members to use (Premier and Platinum).. I find it quite convenient, and is completely clean like new.. There is a charge for regular FPC members..

I can't say if its new clothes, or clothes that are well cleaned.. but certainly looks brand new.. and for my purposes it beats having to bring my own stuff, as we have a family with 2 small kids.. and usually have 7 carryons and 3 checked bags, plus a stroller when travelling..

annerj

What brand of shoes?

Maybe snap a pic of the clothes and post it next time?

I find it an interesting program.
