The Pilates Bag Essentials Checklist

What to Pack for Your Next Class

Preparing for your next Pilates class? Whether you’re heading to a mat Pilates session, working on the reformer, or trying out the tower, having the right gear in your bag can make all the difference. A well-packed Pilates bag ensures you’re ready for anything, from an intense workout to a post-class coffee with friends. Here’s the ultimate checklist of what to pack in your Pilates bag to keep you organised and prepared.

Essential Items for Your Pilates Bag

1. Clothing Essentials
  • Bra Top &/or T-Shirt
  • Leggings &/or Shorts
  • Grip Socks

Remember, most studios now require grip socks in class, so don’t be caught short!

2. Post Class Essentials

  • Deodorant, Perfume and Dry Shampoo

Usually, you don’t need to shower post-class, but it’s always a good idea to have deodorant, perfume, and dry shampoo on hand. These essentials help you freshen up quickly, especially if you’re heading straight to work or meeting friends afterward.

  • Hair tie

A hair tie is essential, particularly for reformer Pilates, where it’s important to keep your hair secure and out of the way to avoid it getting caught in the springs.

  • The Sweat Bag

The Sweat Bag is a must-have to keep everything organised. Lightweight and antimicrobial, it keeps your kit fresh, with a handy front pocket for post-class essentials like deodorant or perfume. Plus, it slips easily into your tote or backpack, making it a convenient companion for any Pilates class.

  • Water Bottle

Staying hydrated is key during any workout. Make sure to pack a reusable water bottle to keep you refreshed throughout your Pilates session.

  • Travel Bottles and Pots

If you like to keep your go-to products with you, our travel bottles and pots are the perfect solution. Fill them with your favourite shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser, or even face wash. Compact and leak-proof, they’re ideal for tossing into your sweat bag without taking up much space, ensuring you have everything you need to freshen up post-class.
