12 Women's Gym Bags You Can Definitely Take To The Office

Functional and workplace-ready

This article was first published on 30 March 2022.

Gym bags are not the first accessories that come to mind when you think of things to bring to the office (unless it’s sports day, of course). Most of them don't quite match office-friendly outfits or just semi-formal/formal workplace settings in general. Good thing there are now many versatile ladies gym bags that fit our dynamic routines and fit well to serve both our workout and office needs.

What makes a good, versatile gym bag for women?


If you think of functionality, gym bags are actually great for the office because they’re spacious (to fit your laptop, tablet, and other devices), have utility pockets (for stationery supplies, your phone, CDs and USBs), and are typically waterproof/moisture resistant (for securing important documents). The only issue now is finding a gym bag that can discreetly pass as an office bag for you to reap its benefits to full capacity.

Don’t worry, we got you! These 12 gym bags you can buy in Singapore are just what you need for that touch of practicality to match your office aesthetic.
