Really interesting seeing an American perspective about this. I've never had to worry about collars or cable handles which apparentely is a thing in US gyms? Here in The Netherlands, and I suppose the majority of Europe (?) these things are the most basic things that are always present at commercial and private gyms. Foam rollers are not that common, but not an uncommen thing to find in gyms either.

Cable handles are sometimes hard to find in my gym (NL as well), but collars are always available, basically enough for every barbell in the gym.

I live in Denmark and here in my local gym (which is part of a big national chain) there is everything you mentioned, in a decent condition. As far as I know it is not even allowed to bring your own equipment to the gym (apart from towel, water bottle, gloves and I would say other really personal things). I guess that the reason for this would be people considering something their own and taking it home with them :)) So the gym provides everything you need, and you don't need to bring anything. I would probably not even go to the gym if I had to bring half of the gym with me from home...

Climbing straps(a loop of strong fabric, not grip assistance/lifting straps) and carabiners for adding weights on hanging exercises. They can also be used to convert the lat pulldown bar into a neutral grip, as extensions on the rope handles to improve the pull angle on face pulls, to anchor resistance bands on different objects without damaging the bands, or just a slightly awkward substitute for handles if the ones provided by the gym are all in use. Also CHALK CHALK CHALK! There is no reason to use lifting straps or gloves to assist your grip if you havent tried using chalk first. If your 1rm deadlift is beyond what your hand strength can hold, go for it. But dont use them as a crutch when you dont need them, it just keeps your hands weak for absolutely no reason.

Really odd seeing this because I get the feeling this may be an American thing. I literally go to the gym with a small hand towel (to wipe my perspiration off of equipment and myself), earphones, my phone and my water bottle. Every one of the items mentioned in this list (excluding the bonus menthol rub) is freely available in every commercial gym I've trained in and are also usually very easy to find. It has never crossed my mind that I'd ever need to (or could) buy my own collars. This obviously doesn't include apartment building gyms as these are usually fitted with the bare minimum in terms of equipment.
@kbak7852 Жыл бұрын
I can aknowledge a difference between chalk and gloves but I still prefer good lether, fingerless gloves that don't limit the feeling but support the grip. Some cushioning from the material also helps with pullups. Then your own small workout towel is also advised to avoid eye flooding during the sets.

I’m a big fan of menthol rubs right under my nose, thought I was the only one. It’s like a milder but persistent version of the ammonia salts, which hit harder but fade fast. I particularly like it for strongman events that involve a timed or multi-lift component.

My gym bag has a lifting belt, gloves, 2 muscle rubs, knee bands, a jump rope, deodorant, cologne, ear buds, an empty water bottle and mints. Sometimes I carry an extra shoe in case there's rain so that my lifting shoe won't get wet. The sole is flat and relatively thin so if the floor is wet, water might wet the inside of the shoes from the sides.
