lug it to the gym in style :: review + giveaway

Posted on February 20, 2014February 20, 2014 by Carinn

disclaimer giveaway

Lug logoWith our on-again-off-again relationship back on-again, the gym and I have been seeing a lot more of each other lately. Losing weight, getting stronger, uninterrupted showers while the childcare staff entertain my children… It’s easy to see why we’re going steady. 😉

Lug Paddle Boat Plum Purple featured imageI knew that if I wanted to spend less time in the locker room and more time working out I would need to get myself organized. With a set time limit on the provided childcare, digging through the free-for-all that was my trusty old duffel bag was wasting too much of my valuable time.

After some searching I found the Paddle Boat Overnight/Gym Duffel from Lug. With a compartment or pocket for just about everything this bag helps keep me organized which means less time searching for every item I need!

Here’s a few of the things I love about my Paddle Boat in Plum Purple gym duffel ::

Lug Paddle Boat shoe compartmentVentilated Shoe Compartment :: Oh. My. Gosh. I never have to worry about my sweaty gym shoes contaminating my fresh change of clothes again! Bonus points to Lug for the ventilation that helps keep those sweaty gym shoes from turning into perpetually stinky gym shoes.

Soft Lined Pocket :: perfect for glasses, sunglasses, or your phone. I’ve found that this handy pocket is also a nice place to stash my jewelry

Signature Hidden Water Bottle Pocket :: I use this pocket for carrying my post-workout energy drink to the car. Once the pocket is empty it hides back away thanks to some well placed magnets!

Paddle Boat pockets collageThere’s also interior cargo pockets, an outside slip pocket (perfect for magazines), as well as a ring holder to help keep me from losing my valuables! Padded shoulder straps make carrying a FULL bag comfy and the two outer zip compartments have cosmetics holders, cargo pockets, and card slots.

Lug Paddle Boat pocketsBetween fact that the material is specially treated with a water-repellent finish and the wipeable bottom with metal feet I no longer worry about a little rain or water getting through my bag. The Paddle Boat measures 18″w x 12″h x 10″d and easily holds everything I take to the gym. It is available in 6 solid colors as well as a print pattern with 4 color options.

Having the Paddle Boat from Lug to tote my gear around is right up there with those two hours of provided childcare and uninterrupted showers on my list of “Reasons Why Going to The Gym Makes Me Happy.”
