One of the difficult things about going to the gym is the amount of bulk that you have to lug around all the places you go before your workout. Conventional sports bags aren’t exactly fit for the workplace, and often don’t have the laptop compartments that you’d need for your work. 

The answer is a combination of a sports bag and backpack. The capacity of the sports bags are kept in these backpacks, but you can also take your work things, all in one backpack. What made us recommend these backpacks specifically is how their maintain comfort no matter how much gym clothes, towels and water bottles you stuff into them. 

We also made sure the best features of a good backpack are present. Padded straps, ventilated backs, durable material, they’re all present here. All in a professional looking package that will fit right into an office environment.
