Problem: Getting to the gym with everything you need! Whenever I walk in the gym, I always have ten things in my hands. Today, I left one very expensive cycling shoe in the parking lot! Yikes, I was halfway home before I realized it was missing. In addition to the water bottles, keys, glasses, and cell phones, I’m usually carrying surplus diapers, wipes, fishy crackers, juice boxes, protein snacks for myself. Going anywhere requires tons of stuff to be hauled around, misplaced and or smashed at the bottom.
So, for all of you gym enthusiasts- here is one bag that was designed strictly for the gym.
Vicki Forster, founder of the Fitness Caddy, invented this very handy bag!
“As a longtime aerobics enthusiast, it was great for me to have a place to workout like the YMCA so close to home. The problem came when I would get out of my car with my water bottle, towel, purse, keys, cell phone, etc. I think I got a better workout bending and picking up all my dropped items that I did in the aerobics class!”
The black microfiber bag has a spot for your cell phone, cooler for your water bottle, hook for your keys, and a loop for your towel. On the back of the bag is a secure pocket for your license, money and membership card. It might be handy to just photocopy your license and keep the copy in the bag, so, you won’t have to worry about transferring it every time you hit the gym.
You can purchase your very own Fitness Caddy directly from the website. The cost is $20 plus shipping. Vicki has also created a Golf Caddy and a Cruising Caddy for all your exercise needs.
JUST FOR YOU!

I could really use this. I always seem to have a bunch of stuff with me, but you can’t carry a purse around at the gym. This caddy would hold it all.

wow, my wife just had a baby and she would love this for the gym she goes to…
5 Elizabeth Ray // May 7, 2008 at 1:12 am
This would be really great for my daughter. She’s always forgetting one thing or another, either leaving something at home that she heeds, or leaving something at the gym. She’d love it!
6 charline s // May 7, 2008 at 1:17 am
This would be great to have maybe wouldn’t lose anything with one of these………
7 Jacqueline Carly // May 7, 2008 at 1:51 am
finally, something to hold all my junk w/easy access so i can stop hanging my huge bookbag from the elliptical handle bars!
8 Audra // May 7, 2008 at 4:15 am
What a GREAT idea! I am always trying to get a quick workout in, and can never remember my lock. I’d go right into the gym and get to my workout with all my stuff right there! I’ll reach my goals in no time!
9 Michelle // May 7, 2008 at 5:04 am
What a great idea..I am forever trying to juggle my water bottle, towel, car keys and cell phone at the gym. It’s portable enough to keep right by me and I can hang it right on the treadmill when I walk.
10 Angel // May 7, 2008 at 8:04 am
Oh, this would be great to hang on the elliptical! No more spills!
11 Patty // May 7, 2008 at 9:22 am
This is great! I’m always leaving my water bottle sitting in the car because I don’t want it to spill in my large gym bag. This is perfect
12 Adrienne Gordon // May 7, 2008 at 9:59 am
I’m usually carrying a backpack, purse, etc, this would be a nice alternative
13 Pamela Ray // May 7, 2008 at 10:22 am
Love this idea. Carry the caddy and leave the purse behind.
14 MizFit // May 7, 2008 at 10:35 am
this UNORGANIZED mama sorely needs one….
15 scarlette monahan // May 7, 2008 at 10:53 am
Great way to get organized
16 Nat Stevens // May 7, 2008 at 12:41 pm
sure will beat a backpack
17 Ashley Henley // May 7, 2008 at 1:13 pm
this would be great to keep my fitness essentials organized when going to workout
18 hazel hunt // May 7, 2008 at 1:24 pm
NICE
19 Vicky Boackle // May 7, 2008 at 1:34 pm
it would keep everything so organized.
20 sally wess // May 7, 2008 at 1:40 pm
looks like a handy gadget
21 julie // May 7, 2008 at 1:52 pm
hey….I need to start working out…nice start.
22 Holly Chernoff // May 7, 2008 at 2:30 pm
this would be great to have, I also don not have enough hands to carry my water, towel, passes, shoes, did I go on?? pick me, I love to work out and this would be so great!
23 linda // May 7, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Finally something to keep me organized and help me from forgetting things
24 Heather // May 7, 2008 at 3:01 pm
What a great product! That looks like a much more comfortable bag to carry than the one I use now for keys/wallet/water!
25 Terri D // May 7, 2008 at 3:04 pm
This would be a great start for working out.
26 Jennifer M. // May 7, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Please enter me and thanks! We do a lot of hiking and this would be perfect.
27 Dinah // May 7, 2008 at 4:06 pm
I keep looking for the perfect bag, for when i walk the dogs so my pockets won’t bulge - I do believe you’ve got it !!
28 Barbara Fox // May 7, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Gotta have the Crusing Caddy II!
29 Mya Brooks // May 7, 2008 at 5:34 pm
I’d lose my mind if it wasn’t attached. This would surely help me!!!
30 Christine // May 7, 2008 at 5:35 pm
This would make workouts easier because it would be easier to carry around that the huge bag I now own. Thank you!
31 Linda Lansford // May 7, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Good way to stay organized
32 TanjaT // May 7, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Awesome! I won’t be late anymore for my classes!
Thanks
33 Angela J // May 7, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Looks real handy, for a towel, any number of “essential” items.
34 Heidi // May 7, 2008 at 8:47 pm
I have a 9 month old who is always in tow with me to the ymca. The more organized the better for me because I have to remember all her stuff too!
35 susan varney // May 7, 2008 at 9:07 pm
this would keep me organized
36 Vicki Wurgler // May 7, 2008 at 9:14 pm
this is so perfect for carrying everything I need - I can then leave my purse at home
37 Kari F // May 7, 2008 at 10:50 pm
This is great! Thank you for the giveaway
38 Kathy Scott // May 7, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Great idea. Thanks for the chance.
39 Meredith Peters // May 8, 2008 at 12:21 am
That’s a neat idea! It would be a great way to cart stuff to the gym or even on a walk without taking a big bag or purse! Room for a BIG water bottle too!
40 Julie // May 8, 2008 at 4:07 am
I walk during my lunch breaks. This would be great for keeping everything in place.
41 Terra Heck // May 8, 2008 at 6:01 am
This would be great for me to use when I take my daily walks for exercise. I could have all the items I need in one place.
42 Betsy // May 8, 2008 at 1:32 pm
What a great idea! Much easier than having to carry several things. You can put all you need in one place!
43 Angie // May 8, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Awesome product. This would most benefit me when hubby and I go to the state park to walk or go for a bike ride. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
44 Cindi // May 8, 2008 at 3:31 pm
What a fantastic idea! My aerobics class uses take place in and old schoolhouse in the country when it is dark! How nice to have this tote when getting out and back into my car. Sometimes, I drop my keys, my water, etc. All of the other ladies would envy me. Thanks,Cindi
45 Shelly // May 8, 2008 at 7:05 pm
It would help me not leave a trail of dropped items….
46 Jill Lear // May 8, 2008 at 7:44 pm
This might help jumpstart my workout!!
47 Clenna // May 8, 2008 at 9:17 pm
I love the Cruising Caddy II. It would certainly make it easier for me to run out the door with caddy in hand, instead of stopping and gathering all my stuff. I think I could go to the gym more often with this caddy.
48 Claire // May 8, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Since my husband is in the military and gone frequently, it seems like I’m always lugging my kids with me to the gym. I never have everything that I bring together in one place, so a bag like this would make my life so much simpler!
49 K. Cleaver // May 9, 2008 at 1:32 am
This would be great for the gym, but also for going to the beach.
50 Melissa Waters // May 9, 2008 at 4:15 am
This is an awesome bag, I wish I had one!
What a neat idea to keep all your gym stuff together, usually I use a wal-mart bag and throw my stuff in there and head to the gym no wonder I get funny looks with products like this out.

51 Tara Hill // May 9, 2008 at 7:57 am
Anything that moves me toward not making an excuse to not to go is a winner!
52 ariane // May 9, 2008 at 11:09 am
it really has lots of benefits! i can us it every time i went to the gym! pls count me in! thanks!
53 rebecca snodgrass // May 9, 2008 at 1:35 pm
it would help me to carry everything that i need
54 Delamarti // May 9, 2008 at 2:15 pm
I could REALLY use this considering I left my itouch on the treadmill the other day. ouch.
55 Jill McNamara // May 9, 2008 at 3:40 pm
OK I NEED THIS!!! I drop my stuff all of the time at the gym.
56 Elena // May 9, 2008 at 4:01 pm
This would be neat, not just for the gym but on those long walks where you want to bring water/phone/keys/etc. Thanks for the contest!
57 Jennifer // May 9, 2008 at 5:47 pm
With this, I could only take the essentials with me into the gym.
58 julieh // May 9, 2008 at 9:24 pm
I could use this to hold everything on long hikes.
59 Courtney // May 9, 2008 at 10:29 pm
I’d be so much more organized with this! I’d be able to spend more time working out than searching for all my stuff.
60 Melissa Reeder // May 9, 2008 at 11:58 pm
This bag looks great! I could definitely use it for my workout times at the gym. I could also use it for little trips to the park with my girls. It would very handy to have. Thanks!
61 Max // May 10, 2008 at 1:45 am
Love this idea.
62 Naomi // May 10, 2008 at 3:57 am
I like the Cruising Caddy’s pleated pocket. Actually, they would all be handy for stroller walking!
63 Marie // May 10, 2008 at 6:30 am
Hi this caddy would dramatically improve my fitness regimen because I am always carrying all of my stuff in one bag and they scatter all over the place (or worse my water bottle will open on my cellphone D: D: which has happened more than once). This would make me far more organized and less insane when I go work out
64 jan koontz // May 10, 2008 at 1:32 pm
this is just to cool
65 Lee Klein // May 10, 2008 at 1:37 pm
This is sooooo handy for going to the student recreation center here. I usually go jog on the indoor track then head to the weight machine room.
I often just set a bag in the open where I can see because it’s too big to fit into the free coded lockers. But this caddy will hold my essentials allowing me to leave the bag in the car. It will fit into the locker or I can just wear it while I work out. And being black, even my boyfriend will use it!
66 jffryclough // May 10, 2008 at 2:26 pm
it can only help my program
67 Ilissa H. // May 10, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Currently, I don’t have much of a program. This would make it easier to get organized.
68 Anthony Hedden // May 10, 2008 at 6:20 pm

69 Elizabeth M. // May 10, 2008 at 7:26 pm
This is the perfect solution! Right now everything just is thrown in a pile on the floor. I love this!
70 Sylvia Belle // May 10, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Having a work out kit is a great solution.
71 Denise // May 10, 2008 at 8:49 pm
This would help motivate me!
72 Kristi Blackstone // May 10, 2008 at 11:33 pm
This is great, very convenient and easy to keep up with!
73 christopher h // May 10, 2008 at 11:51 pm
i always seem to be forgetting something at the gym
74 Kari Colledge // May 11, 2008 at 12:17 am
This would keep me from losing everything!
75 sharon // May 11, 2008 at 12:48 am
this is so cool, and can really use this as I have to lug a big bag around…this would serve my workout purpose!
76 R Hicks // May 11, 2008 at 3:53 am
CLEVER TOTE
77 Sandy Y // May 11, 2008 at 5:55 am
I love this! I don’t carry my purse into the gym, but there are certain things that have to come with me. This would be perfect.
78 Heather C // May 11, 2008 at 7:29 am
Why didn’t I think of this?! I do the same thing: towel, water, keys, phone, mp3 player, headphones, etc, etc. It takes me forever to get things set up on the treadmill because of all my stuff! This will save me some time there.
79 betty // May 11, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Great idea! I need all the organization tools I can get to make stuff easier to do.
80 Paula Harmon // May 11, 2008 at 1:55 pm
I don’t carry a purse, the diaper bag doubles as my purse. But when I don’t bring the baby, I don’t bring the diaper bag. So when I get to leave without the baby (to work out) I can grab my caddy.
81 Marlene // May 11, 2008 at 2:13 pm
I need that so I stop buying plastic water bottles.
82 Debbie Criss // May 11, 2008 at 5:02 pm
I’ve already lost 4 sizes over the year. Have 50 lbs more to lose. Would love to win. Try to keep everything organized for my walks. Usually can’t take much. This would be great it would be like adding extra weight to my walks. I keep a journal which I like to keep with me. I not only record foods, I record times, even excercising. I like to change my fitness pattern around alot, just like the foods I eat. I find new foods and excercise, but always diffucultly packing everything I need. I go to the pool in the summer and walk for one hour with a timer. Please enter me, thank you
83 Sonya // May 11, 2008 at 5:05 pm
I’m forever dropping things all over the gym! This would be a great way to keep everything together!
84 Janice Wright // May 11, 2008 at 5:20 pm
This would be great. I could take all my essential work out items & look fashionable doing it. Thanks for the giveaway!
85 Hesper F // May 11, 2008 at 5:49 pm
This would benefit my fitness program because I take long walks with my dogs and this would carry everything I need!
86 Jennifer Jozwiak // May 11, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I’m always losing things so this would really help!
87 Ed Nemmers // May 11, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Great way to organize!
88 shawna // May 11, 2008 at 8:31 pm
This would be handy when hiking in the mountains!
89 Lisa Fosses // May 11, 2008 at 8:58 pm
It would help me to drink more water and stay more organized
90 Nora Scott-Platt // May 11, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Great idea.
91 Laci // May 11, 2008 at 11:43 pm
I’d love to win this! I need something like this when I go to the gym!!!
92 Becky Grady // May 12, 2008 at 1:04 am
That would be great! I could show up at the gym prepared for once!
93 Cindy // May 12, 2008 at 1:24 am
For the number of times I have dropped or spilled my water bottle, I am dying for one of these. I am often going back to the office or heading home and spilling water all over yourself is definately not the most attractive look!
94 Beverly M // May 12, 2008 at 2:04 am
this would be great to walk with
95 Gaye McGill // May 12, 2008 at 2:15 am
Great idea - it does get tiresome hauling around all the “stuff” that you need at the gym. This gives you one handy place for it all.
96 C Duran // May 12, 2008 at 2:34 am
This is an excellent idea! I have been trying to do more walking this summer and it would really help out, especially since I usually take my dog with me too, so it’s hard to hold other things at the same time.
97 Frances Watson // May 12, 2008 at 2:38 am
This would be great for the gym
98 Deanne // May 12, 2008 at 3:33 am
This looks so useful and cute for when I’m at the gym or going on a long walk!
99 kiyana // May 12, 2008 at 3:58 am
This would be great! I just came back from the gym and I stuffed my keys, wallet, cell phone, and ipod in a fanny pack but it can’t fit a water bottle or towel and I can’t bring a backpack into the workout area but this would be fine to hang on the machines!
100 flared0ne // May 12, 2008 at 4:06 am
Anything that gives me a set of places where things belong helps me keep track of that stuff better, since I can SEE when something is missing - this should get rave reviews from me!
101 irene diaz // May 12, 2008 at 4:06 am
What a great idea!
102 Mollie G. // May 12, 2008 at 4:09 am
A place for every thing and everything in its place — something to help with “keeping it all together” meets MY needs!
103 Heather B // May 12, 2008 at 5:08 am
What a great product! I have been struggling for years at the gym carrying all my misc items around from machine to machine. This product is a god-send.
104 Dustin // May 12, 2008 at 5:09 am
This would help me out while working out… Please let me win!
105 Carla Pullum // May 12, 2008 at 5:27 am
This would let me leave my purse in the car or house!
106 kathy // May 12, 2008 at 6:46 am
This is really great and it can be used other places than just the gym.
107 Teresa H // May 12, 2008 at 7:19 am
Oh my… that looks awesome! I’ve been going to the gym for a few months now, and this would be a great addition!
108 Samantha Pruitt // May 12, 2008 at 8:02 am
this would be really great to take to the gym, i always just bring my purse, it seems so out of place
109 trudee carreiro // May 12, 2008 at 11:12 am
what a great idea
110 Jennifer C // May 12, 2008 at 12:21 pm
This is a great item that can be used in a wide variety of places, not just at the gym. I would take it on walks, take it on playdates, could use it on bike rides. Endless possibilities.
111 Veronica Garrett // May 12, 2008 at 12:26 pm
This would be great for carrying all the things I need everyday.
112 ELSIE // May 12, 2008 at 12:34 pm
What a great compliment to my workout program. Thanks for the chance!
113 Brandy // May 12, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I love that it is specifically designed to hold a water bottle, with room for many of the other necessities. I’d be able to hang this anywhere and my water bottle would be easily accessible during work-outs! Thanks
114 Brooke // May 12, 2008 at 1:02 pm
I would actually remember to bring water. That would be fantastic!! And everything would be in the same place so when I go from machine to machine I wouldn’t worry about losing things. I LOVE it!!
115 sarah woods // May 12, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Ok half the worried in middle age is getting “it together” to get to the fitness regime. This makes it simple with class and takes the worry out of organizationl Many Thanks SW
116 Lily Kwan // May 12, 2008 at 1:05 pm
It would make things organized and easy to find.
117 Timothy Sternberg // May 12, 2008 at 1:56 pm
I could really use this.
118 Jane Hoh // May 12, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Just something else to try to keep me organized. Thank you great idea.

Very handy way to carry everything I need to the gym in one bag ~ thanks!
121 Playful Professional // May 12, 2008 at 3:19 pm
This would be great for running!! I could put my keys and water bottle in it, and then I wouldn’t have to deal with the jingling and banging of keys and holding my water bottle!
122 ~ Helen ~ // May 12, 2008 at 3:21 pm
~ Very handy ~ makes things organized and easy to find.
123 Carissa D. // May 12, 2008 at 3:22 pm
I wouldn’t have to carry my purse into the gym. Yay!
124 Charlene Kuser // May 12, 2008 at 3:25 pm
This would be so nice to carry to the gym.I have often left things behind,never to be seen again.
Thanks for the giveaway
125 MiC // May 12, 2008 at 3:41 pm
The black microfiber bag has a spot for your cell phone, cooler for your water bottle, hook for your keys, and a loop for your towel. On the back of the bag is a secure pocket for your license, money and membership card.
126 michelle stewart // May 12, 2008 at 3:53 pm
This is great.I could definately use this .I’ve always got my workout supplies all over the place and it’s definately not organized.
127 Betty C // May 12, 2008 at 4:52 pm
A really practical way to organize workout supplies. Something I really need.
128 kathy pease // May 12, 2008 at 6:54 pm
great for holding my things
129 Sylvia Porter // May 12, 2008 at 7:00 pm

130 Stacy Johnson // May 12, 2008 at 11:33 pm
This prize looks AWESOME!!!
131 Donna Kozar // May 13, 2008 at 1:59 am
