What should one leave in a locker at the gym/swimming pool, and what shouldn't leave?

Part of it depends on if you have a lock and are going to lock the locker. I go to the gym in my car so I leave my valuables in the car and not in my locker.

@janbb I walk two blocks from my apartment. I don’t have a car

The point is more about locking the locker though.

@janbb I can rent a locker with lock for $0.50. I am Just wondering what is too valuable to put in a locker and what to leave on me or leave at home?

Lock overnight or lock just for the short time you are there?

If it is only while exercising, lock:
– house key
– ID or drivers license
– towel and soap
– clean clothes
– outdoor jacket if it is cold enough

NEVER bring your wallet into the gym and never put it in the locker.

If you are talking overnight, then you can leave:
– deodorant
– soap
– razor

but nothing else.

i used to bring my debt and Id card and keys, change of shoes etc but as for the debit card hid it between the lining of my shoe.
Even with a key some got robbed.

It varies and certainly has changed since Covid

I don’t spend a lot of time at the gym outside of what my routine that visit will be.

Gone are the days of a full bag with change of clothing, swim goggles, racquets, shower needs etc. I get in and get out now. I went over a year without a membership for the first time since I was a personal trainer/instructor in my early 20’s.

Car key, Gym ID, water bottle, street shoes, spin shoes(if needed), yoga mat(if needed).
I shower at home after, I don’t buy anything at the gym, Racquet sports, volleyball, swimming, sauna, steambath, jacuzzi are not in my routine now due to Covid.
