There's nothing that motivates us to hit the gym quite like new activewear - especially new gym bags. We're not talking non-descript black hold-alls here. We mean stylish gym bags you'd be as happy to take for cocktails as you are carrying it to your exercise classes. After all, when you've spent all that money on fancy activewear, it deserves better than being shoved into an old tote bag.
