Really interesting seeing an American perspective about this. I've never had to worry about collars or cable handles which apparentely is a thing in US gyms? Here in The Netherlands, and I suppose the majority of Europe (?) these things are the most basic things that are always present at commercial and private gyms. Foam rollers are not that common, but not an uncommen thing to find in gyms either.
Yeah, what BluePurplePink said. They'll be there, but there's no guarantee that they'll be in good condition. Or even available if someone else is using another cable
I live in Denmark and here in my local gym (which is part of a big national chain) there is everything you mentioned, in a decent condition. As far as I know it is not even allowed to bring your own equipment to the gym (apart from towel, water bottle, gloves and I would say other really personal things). I guess that the reason for this would be people considering something their own and taking it home with them :)) So the gym provides everything you need, and you don't need to bring anything. I would probably not even go to the gym if I had to bring half of the gym with me from home...
My gym bag contains: 1. Lifting belt 2. Lifting straps 3. Packets of protein powder 4. Water bottle 5. Tissue 6. Disposable face mask 7. Alcohol 8. Hand soap 9. Wallet 10. Shoes 11. Jump rope 12. Earbuds 13. Towel 14. Preworkout That's it
This doesn't have anything to do with working out directly but I strongly recommend bringing flip flops for the shower. I don't care how often your gym cleans the showers foot fungus loves those floors.
I have a small spray bottle with rubbing alcohol to sanitise equipment and as an alternative for chalk for better grip especially on kettlebells. Soft surgical paper tape to prevent calluses from ripping. All except belts, sleeves and wraps are found in our gyms as standard although some gyms have lifting belts.
I keep a wrist roller in my bag. It's a phenomenal piece of equipment for developing forearm & grip strength and (in my experience) extremely few gyms have them.
I love these videos so much a amazing mix of both educational value and entertainment. You’ve helped me understand so much starting out including supplements and how to train, please keep up the work!
Climbing straps(a loop of strong fabric, not grip assistance/lifting straps) and carabiners for adding weights on hanging exercises. They can also be used to convert the lat pulldown bar into a neutral grip, as extensions on the rope handles to improve the pull angle on face pulls, to anchor resistance bands on different objects without damaging the bands, or just a slightly awkward substitute for handles if the ones provided by the gym are all in use. Also CHALK CHALK CHALK! There is no reason to use lifting straps or gloves to assist your grip if you havent tried using chalk first. If your 1rm deadlift is beyond what your hand strength can hold, go for it. But dont use them as a crutch when you dont need them, it just keeps your hands weak for absolutely no reason.
microweights to get exactly the weight you want on the bar. I usually only go down to 2.5lb increments (1.25lbs per side of the barbell), but I could do 0.5lb increments if I really wanted to.
I can aknowledge a difference between chalk and gloves but I still prefer good lether, fingerless gloves that don't limit the feeling but support the grip. Some cushioning from the material also helps with pullups. Then your own small workout towel is also advised to avoid eye flooding during the sets.
Liquid chalk is something I can't recommend enough. It saves on a mess a lot too. I plan on getting some knee sleeves this summer. Any good bang for your buck recommendations?
Really odd seeing this because I get the feeling this may be an American thing. I literally go to the gym with a small hand towel (to wipe my perspiration off of equipment and myself), earphones, my phone and my water bottle. Every one of the items mentioned in this list (excluding the bonus menthol rub) is freely available in every commercial gym I've trained in and are also usually very easy to find. It has never crossed my mind that I'd ever need to (or could) buy my own collars. This obviously doesn't include apartment building gyms as these are usually fitted with the bare minimum in terms of equipment.
I always have small weight plates for microloading, like 2.5 lb plates. It's not a problem with my current gym, but some of the ones I've been to in the past didn't have very many.
I’m a big fan of menthol rubs right under my nose, thought I was the only one. It’s like a milder but persistent version of the ammonia salts, which hit harder but fade fast. I particularly like it for strongman events that involve a timed or multi-lift component.
I guess I am spoiled. Where I live I always went to gym that provided towels, socks, gym shirt and even shorts. Always all the items you mentioned available for ALL machines and an area to foam rolland stretch.
Funny, nearly everything on that list is available in all gyms I visited in Germany, even lifting belts. Chalk or liquid chalk is rare. Is this a US thing?
Chalk is typically only provided at the more hardcore gyms with tons of free weights and fewer machines. Some of the more casual gyms dont allow it at all. Wrist straps are nothing but a crutch, use chalk first.
Germany is a homogenous high trust society outside muslim areas America isnt We are now a low trust society due to demographic attacks by the federal goverment against White majorities
My gym bag has a lifting belt, gloves, 2 muscle rubs, knee bands, a jump rope, deodorant, cologne, ear buds, an empty water bottle and mints. Sometimes I carry an extra shoe in case there's rain so that my lifting shoe won't get wet. The sole is flat and relatively thin so if the floor is wet, water might wet the inside of the shoes from the sides.
More advanced, but I bring yoga balance pads. Place them behind me to get a bigger stretch on pressing & fly machines. More stretch is scientifically known to improve gains 💪
Everyone needs this? Uh no 😅 Never needed gym equipment. And I would never bring my massage gun for example, just use it at home. I need: water bottle, ear phones, phone for music. Just in case: tampons/pads, extra hair band, maaaybe a protein bar
Most useful was the obvious necessities. no other video youtube sent my way cover them even for begniners lol, and talk about belt and things, no beginners that will put more time on a stationary bike ans such than actually lifting. Funny enough I had almost everything but would have miss a freaking lock.
Towel and water bottle. Thinking about it, I seem to be the only person with a towel in the gym these days. When I started training about 25 years ago, EVERYBODY took a towel. It changed about ten years ago. Anyone know why?
Because suddenly everyone dreams of being crushed by thighs, drinking a girls piss and bath water. So yeah, a little bit of mixed sweat is pretty okay in comparison. 😅

They are usually present but they are sometimes worn out or loose.

Cable handles are sometimes hard to find in my gym (NL as well), but collars are always available, basically enough for every barbell in the gym.

I would probably not even go to the gym if I had to bring half of the gym with me from home...
Back in the day I ended up buying my own because they were really loose at my gym. Now I'm in a home gym so not as much of a factor.
My gym bag contains:
1. Lifting belt
2. Lifting straps
3. Packets of protein powder
4. Water bottle
5. Tissue
6. Disposable face mask
7. Alcohol
8. Hand soap
9. Wallet
10. Shoes
11. Jump rope
12. Earbuds
13. Towel
14. Preworkout
That's it
That’s a lot lol
Can’t forget the baby wipes. That gym paper ain’t it
You should not be drinking alcohol at the gym. That’s illegal and it’ll make your workout pointless. Jk I know it’s rubbing
@@yodamaster757 tbf most of these things are small so they still fit in my jansport bakcpack.
i love the Jump rope.. i always finish my workouts with them
This doesn't have anything to do with working out directly but I strongly recommend bringing flip flops for the shower. I don't care how often your gym cleans the showers foot fungus loves those floors.
How can anyone NOT bring flipflops for a gym shower?

Soft surgical paper tape to prevent calluses from ripping. All except belts, sleeves and wraps are found in our gyms as standard although some gyms have lifting belts.
I would say microplates are the most important for me, not all gyms have 2.5 LBS/ 1kg plates
I even got some 0.5kg plates recently and they're brilliant for prog overload on lat raises, wrist extensions, and rotator cuff work.
I keep a wrist roller in my bag. It's a phenomenal piece of equipment for developing forearm & grip strength and (in my experience) extremely few gyms have them.

What do you use chalk for? What exercises?
@@serafim7779deadlift, rdl for example
A7 or stoic sleeves

Thats like carrying my entire gym in the bag
lifting gear... LEGAL lifting gear lol
Fanny bag with membership card, phone and motorbike key are all i need. Hand straps for pull day.
I guess I am spoiled. Where I live I always went to gym that provided towels, socks, gym shirt and even shorts. Always all the items you mentioned available for ALL machines and an area to foam rolland stretch.
I’d recommend a lacrosse ball rather than a tennis ball. Tennis balls collapse under pressure so you’ll get a lot more out of it
If you are in USA: Don't forget your Freedom tool (Gun). That is also a must have for any gym goer.
Yes
Missing dip belt.
idk about y'all but bringing cable handles is like bringing dumbbells to the gym
I usually go to the gym only with water bottle and headphone 😅
The only reason, i even bring a bag is because girls take you way more seriously if you do.
@@firedskull6561 I’m married , so I don’t care 😅
@@firedskull6561…or sometimes everyone at your gym is a damn thief, and all the good cable accessories are gone, so you gotta bring your own 😅
i dont really bring a lot of stuff when I go to gym, just wallet and phone lol
Funny, nearly everything on that list is available in all gyms I visited in Germany, even lifting belts. Chalk or liquid chalk is rare. Is this a US thing?
A lot of the barbells here have their grip worn down so chalk or straps help a lot when gripping them

You forgot your own barbell because the knurling on the gyms barbels are to passive
I can’t workout at casual gyms anymore now that i go to a powerlifting gym with nice ass bars
How big is your gym bag?
*Picture-Fit* _Yes_ 😏
just a recommendation, add a couple of protein bars or chocolates and coffee
My gym bag has a lifting belt, gloves, 2 muscle rubs, knee bands, a jump rope, deodorant, cologne, ear buds, an empty water bottle and mints. Sometimes I carry an extra shoe in case there's rain so that my lifting shoe won't get wet. The sole is flat and relatively thin so if the floor is wet, water might wet the inside of the shoes from the sides.
Not all of us own Mary Poppins bags, you know 😂
Liquid chalk, Ready to go funnels (to hold my supplements). I carry most of the stuff you have in your bag
Plus some climbing rope and a carabiner - few simple knots and youve got yourself a way to hang weights off your belt for weighted pull ups.
I generally chew a piece of raw ginger on my way to the gym to get a little pump and might even swallow it if too sleepy.
Yeah I mostly agree, especially on the gear part.
More advanced, but I bring yoga balance pads. Place them behind me to get a bigger stretch on pressing & fly machines. More stretch is scientifically known to improve gains 💪
My gym bag contains:
clothes and towel
liquid soap
shampoo
perfume
antiperspirant
that's it lol
This mainly inspired to desire a new gym bag. I’ve had the same one for 5 years 🤣
Bands for warming up
That's not a gym bag, that's a gym itself
It’s the gat dumb clips on the cable machine that are always missing
Preworkout, and maybe a post-workout-snack like a protein bar
Make a video on Intermittent fasting vs calorie deficit
I bring my car keys so I can get back in the car, that's it :) - Don't over think it people!
Foam roll with the barbell lmao
Essentials: water bottle, earbud and phone (can be a big distraction but most listen to music through their phone)
Kirkland baby wipes... because sometimes you just squat that hard and dont want to full shower.
You forgot the most important one:
Deodorant
He forgot to list a jockstrap.
Most important
In Ear Headphones to avoid annoying sounds and listening to some industrial hardcore music and embrace all the hate of existing
Came here to say literally just bring your shoes and a water bottle, the economy is too shit to be buying this stuff and a gym membership

Can you create a video about the data on knee wraps and other such wraps?
In Brazil most people don't even bring gym bags
Same in India, just a towel and a bottle. Most people don't even bring a bottle, as they have jugs for you to use at the gym.
5 thinghs in gym bag?! I have 5 thinghs in my gym bag on rest days.
What music are you playing? Any chance we can get a PictureFit playlist? 🤔
Water bottle and a singly resistance band guy here. 😂
Sorry, didnt get the idea of menthol rub..you just use the smell of it?
Gym bag extra pair of clothes a body wash, running 🏃♂️ shoes ect.😅
I bring a knife, I work out in the Hood.
Am i the only one who carries my GYM CLOTHES in my gym bag lol and a towel to shower. a brush as well.
This isn't 5 things. This is 5 categories plus 1. Resistance bands and gym gear. A pair of clamps...
Pair of good quality lifting gloves. Its will prevent the weights from hurting your skin

-gym bag
-gym shoes
-shaker cup

I need: water bottle, ear phones, phone for music.
Just in case: tampons/pads, extra hair band, maaaybe a protein bar

What's the best lifting belt to own?
Why not install a home gym ? Seems like less hassle ! lol
testoe 125mg emergency kit
A tricep rope
number 1 is clearly 20kg plates, just to make sure your preworkout begins by going to the gym
Water bottle
Protein powder

Belt

Squat shoes
that's it
Towel if I know I won't shower at home
What about gloves,?
For me is:
Grip pads
Water
Headphones
AR pistol and a g21
Srsly👌
So now we need a gym bag?
I'd rather work out with no water rather than no head/ear phones
Most important is a 9mm

Wow! I wonder what kind of ghetto gyms PictureFit has been going to...
Gotta add gloves to the list. Lifting needs to be a test of strength and endurance of muscles, not a test of how many calluses you can handle.
