We count on our gym bags to do quite a bit. We want them to be lightweight, but we also expect them to hold everything. We love it when they're water-resistant and weather-proof, but they’ve got to look decent too. Once we determine which features are our priority, then comes the matter of wading through the countless options on the market. If you’re already overwhelmed, take a breath: we've gone ahead and done the hard work for you. Gym bag - not the actual workout. That’s your job.

Below, we've rounded up some of our favorite gym bags that range from totally functional to super fashionable. No matter your style or your preferred workout, there's something here for you. Scroll on to find the right gym bag for you.
