Gym Bag Recommendation - for Suits

Office/Exec-cels, what gym bag do you use?

I'm still using an old Puma bag from way back, but figured I'd up my game.

Looking at lists like these:https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashio.../best-gym-bags

I'm not exactly inspired.

So, you're wearing a suit walking a few blocks to your gym - what's your gym bag, Misc?

You’re going during lunch or something? Do you not have a locker at this gym? Or are you asking how you look stylish walking in a full suit with a gym bag? Because if it’s the latter, let me assure you - nobody cares.

Yes my gym isn't in my office building, and I take my gym bag with me when I leave.

"Looking good" - "nobody cares", not sure your personal take tracks reality there.

Yeah I'm using an old bag too. Thinking of upping my game, though.

Get one from IronMind or Ivanko. Stylish? no. But those who know will know and everyone else can f-off.

I have this bag in the light grey, not sure if it's on the site anymore. Looks good and also holds a ton of stuff.

He’s asking if you’re looking for a duffle that is designed to fit a suit in it without ruining the suit or if you’re looking for a duffle that looks good while you’re walking around wearing a suit.

In case it's still not clear: I live and work in NYC. The gym is not in my office building. I walk from the office building to the gym, in my suit, because I'm not a degenerate pleb who walks in the lobby of my office building in gym clothes.

I use a gym bag with a couple smaller compartments, I'm wearing the suit in, hanging it up, working out, showering and putting it back on. The bag I have right now is a CCM duffle, fits all my stuff including towel perfect without being stupid big.

Here you go

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

This one?https://www.amazon.com/CCM-Sport-Bag.../dp/B07534GHX1

I get you on the "not being stupid big". I'm liking the Stuart and Lau Redux (smaller), but I think I'd need to see it in person to make sure I'm not carrying a small suitcase.

I go to Equinox or, in general, gyms with towel service so luckily don't have to factor that in.

that's the one, newer version of mine. $80? jeesh didnt know it was that much. Ive had mine a few years, isnt ripped, doesnt smell so worth the $$ if it holds up and doesnt look like a homeless person bag.

Thanks. And yeah, a chitty gym bag jars quite harshly with nice suit/tie/shoes. I'll check out the Stuart and Lau Redux as well, since I don't want a huge bag to lug around.

Buy a small backpack and call it a day. Those prices in that GQ article are stupid insane.

If you actually want a serious bag here

https://www.ogio.com/duffel/

They have some backpacks and stuff too.

The endurance bag is the best duffel I’ve owned. Can switch a weeks clothing from the clean to the dirty sleeve and the dirty sleeve has mesh ventilation. Hard glass case, wears as a backpack super comfy, fits as a carryon bag so bring that as personal bag + carryon roller bag.

Dirty compartment works well for shoe compartment as well, and can fit a whole dirty gi or fight gear/sports clothes in it and it won’t stink.

Thanks, I'll take a look at these too. I'm not sure about the nice suit + backpack look, but if it is decent then the practicality might win out.

Also @Duckliver - aren't you that chef in Seattle? Used to post droolworthy threads with your cooking?

Thanks for all the recommendations folks - happy to post pics of the gym bag I bought here with some thoughts/impressions after I get it.
