Why a Ready to Go Gym Bag Could Be the Key to Your Fitness Consistency

Hi, I’m Jonno. I’m a veteran, a full-time NHS professional, a dad to four, and a coach for an under-9s football team. On top of that, I’ve always struggled with saying no—so my days are as busy as they come.

That’s why I’ve had to become ruthlessly efficient when it comes to fitness. Motivation isn’t always there—especially when you’re running between work, family, and coaching - but efficiency? That’s what keeps you consistent.

And one of the most powerful efficiencies I’ve ever built into my routine is keeping a ready to go gym bag.

Why a Gym Bag is More Than Just a Bag

After 25 years of doing fitness, I can tell you: the small things matter. The last thing you need after a long shift or a night of football coaching is to rummage around for your gear. If you’ve got to find your shaker, search for your straps, or wash your bottle before you leave, the temptation to skip your workout skyrockets.

But when your gym bag is already packed, organised, and waiting, all of those barriers disappear. You just grab it and go. No decisions. No excuses.

That’s exactly why I created The Body Conversion Kit - to make this system simple, practical, and motivating for anyone balancing real-life pressures.

What’s Inside the ready to go gym bag (The Body Conversion Kit)?

This isn’t just a bag—it’s a complete system designed to cover the basics and give you confidence every time you step into the gym.

Here’s what’s inside:

• The Bag – a cool, tactical, military-style bag with space to personalise using a variety of patches.

• Protein Shaker – ready for your post-workout shake.

• Stainless Steel Water Bottle – durable, refillable, and sustainable.

• Weightlifting Gloves (choice of pink or black) – for grip and comfort.

• Weightlifting Belt – for core support when lifting heavy.

• Weightlifting Straps (choice of pink or black) – to help with grip on big lifts.

• Wrist Straps (choice of pink or black) – for added support on pressing movements.

• Resistance Bands – perfect for warming up, cooling down, or adding variety to your training.

Alongside the kit, I always recommend you keep:

• Trainers next to the bag – so they’re never forgotten.

• A towel – essential for any gym session.

• Swim shorts – I personally pack these, just in case I get the chance for a swim and sauna after training (look out for the limited edition Sauna essential oils coming soon).

• A protein snack – recovery starts the second you finish your last rep.

This setup means you’re covered for almost any type of training session, without ever scrambling around for gear.

Why This Works

Your bag becomes more than a piece of kit—it’s your trigger habit. The sight of it, packed and ready, is the nudge you need to keep showing up, even on days when motivation is at rock bottom.

It’s a system that:

• Removes friction – no hunting for gear.

• Builds consistency – your bag = your workout.

• Boosts confidence – knowing you’re prepared changes your mindset.

And when you’re balancing family, work, and life, this efficiency is everything.

Final Thought

If you want a ready to go gym bag and want to stop relying on shaky bursts of motivation and instead build a fitness system that fits into a real, busy life—then start with your gym bag.

That’s why I built The Body Conversion Kit. It’s about more than just gear—it’s about creating structure, removing excuses, and giving yourself the confidence to keep going.
