Right now I'm using my old LL Bean back pack as a gym bag. I like it but it's not quite right. I think I need something a little bit bigger and easier to access, like a duffle bag. I bring my shoes, shorts, tshirt, bra, socks, water bottle, earbuds, arm band, and a small towel. Everything fits but I'll need more space in the winter and I'd like to have room for a few toiletries, flip-flops, etc if I decide to exercise before work. I don't care about a shoe compartment or section for wet stuff. Sometimes I walk from my office, across our campus to the gym, and then back to my parking lot. That's almost a mile and I have my work bag with me so a nice comfy shoulder strap is good. I'd prefer to spend $50 or less. I saw a few at TJ Maxx but they looked so cheap. I did see one that I liked but then I realized it was a diaper bag. Who knows, maybe a non-cutsey diaper bag is the way to go!
Re: Rec your gym bag
I have this swim bag from TYR (mine is purple and black). It is quite large and has a spot for wet/sweaty things when you are done.

If you found a non-diaper bag looking diaper bag then go for it..
I just use my lululemon bags because I don't carry a lot with me to the gym.. but Lulu also makes really great ACTUAL gym bags with different pockets and things. They are pretty fab.
Thanks everyone! I think a new bag should be my reward for my next fitness mini goal!
