Drawstring bags are super nice for gym, and they’re small enough that you can shove them into your backpack if you want to.
Try to bring your uniform home to wash it at least once a week, or more often if you can. If you don’t have a gym uniform, you can pack some workout pants or shorts, like sweatpants or basketball shorts, and a loose fitting T-shirt. Some schools allow students to wear gym clothes to school during days with gym class. This may be because of time constraints, no changing rooms in the school, or precautions during the coronavirus pandemic. If this is the case, you don’t need to change back into your regular school clothes.
Sports bras provide extra support while you run, jump, or jog around.
Some gym teachers won’t let you participate in class unless you’re wearing exercise shoes, so it’s super important that you remember your sneakers.
Ankle socks usually look the best with sneakers, but you can wear any kind of socks that you’d like.
If you have pretty short face-framing layers or bangs, try wearing a headband to keep your hair out of your face.
If you don’t want to wear makeup, that’s fine too! It’s not for everyone.
This is especially important to pack if you aren’t going to take a shower after class.
You might also need to bring a towel if you’re going to shower after class. You may also want to bring some shower sandals or flip flops, so you don’t have to walk barefoot in the locker room. Having the option to take a shower after class is nice so you can wash away all the sweat before heading to your next class.
If your gym class is close to lunch time, you don’t need to bring a snack.
