No matter where you are in your fitness journey, a gym bag is a staple in a successful routine. You start to realize there are items that enhance your gym and workout experience and it's convenient to keep them all packed and readily available in one place. I went to some of the best fitness pro’s in town, a few of our MAC staff, to learn what enhances their fitness experience and what’s essential in their gym bags. Hands down, the most popular item was an MZ-3, MYZONE Belt. The heart rate monitor that provides instant feedback on effort and maximizes each workout. Which explains why each of these people have been consistent in their workout routine. (Check out more info on that here!) Amongst the other popular items: Headphones, Water bottles and sweat towels.
