Help! I'm looking for a bag to hold my stuff-not for yoga, but for pilates and body sculpting. Need room for a 23" x 6" diameter mat, one resistance tube and 2 sets of hand weights - plus water bottle. For some classes I carry a stability ball, so right now I have my hands so full, I can hardly open the door to the gym! Would appreciate any feedback. Help!

We have this bag and while it is roomy for a yoga mat - I'm not certain you'd get the resistance tube and 2 sets of hand weights in it... maybe a towel or something lightweight. Good luck - Namaste

So your mat is about 2 feet wide and 6 inches high. Doesnt sound like is wraps up like a roll. This bag will fit thick rollable pilates or yoga mats and prob hand weights if rolled within a mat. Dont think this bag will fit your gear. Sounds like you need a tote wide like a beach bag but those arent usually able to hold heavy gear comfortably on your shoulders.

The bag is pretty big. I was able to put my yoga mat, grippy mat cover, change of clothes and water bottle in there. Not sure if it will fit all the stuff you have, but I think it's worth a try. As far as yoga bags go, I haven't found anything bigger.

max width for me as a gym bag user is 20-22 inches.Anything bigger is hard to fit easily in typical locker. This particular bag isn't very flexible with the waterproof coating. I would go small for gym, up to you to decide how much space you need for weekends.

Sorry If I led any readers a stray with my last comment. The Body Works has been a good investment for me. After I learned how to use it with the help of my Pilates class, (that's where I got the idea to buy one) and a return email from Weider, I wasn't using it correctly. Price, assembly and using it has been a really good thing for me. People may give up because they don't want to work that hard at gaining strength, endurance, and building muscle. The chart printed on the box shows all the positions it can be used for...... If you can afford the time, money and have the room to set up the "total gym", that's one thing. Try putting the total gym back in the same box, pay the return postage, and then waiting to have the charges reversed from the account you purchased it on. Like most mail or internet orders, they can suck you in and give you one big headache. I am a 74 year young woman and my body is getting younger every day. My Body Works was and is a good health investment. Thank you!

Yes; a Pilates ball will easily fit in the bag (as will a regular size yoga block).

I use a large Nike Sasquatch stand bag and it works great for it. The straps are adjustable so I feel it will work fine for you.

Mine came with a large light weight bag I could transport it in. It has no padding but it is strong and does give you handles. At 28 lbs or so you probably are not going to be dragging it around a great deal. Not sure if you purchased one already or not but I found the battery driver is garbage as was the wifi driver on my yoga. It is not easy to correct on the idea centre since you need a very small torx driver to open it up and remove the battery to correct that issue.

It depends on your current level of fitness. Will you be modifying to start? A good pair of cross training shoes, a mat for stretch & Yoga, and a set of resistance bands. I prefer the kind that combine a single band with detachable handles. Some starter sets (3 diff level resistance bands, handles, and a door adapter). You can add on from there.

I want to know too! I hate product descriptions like this. No dimensions anywhere, and no maximum temperature range for this bag. I won't bother with so little information. Vendors take note, you lose customers this way.

This one is pretty big and not great quality. Check out the Planet Wise brand wet bags. They are great, and I think the sizes are given.

Robin, I love the SFBags / waterfield sleeve. It is really very nicely made and it looks cool. I got one that was slightly too large, but they are aggressive in making sure that you are totally satisfied, and they sent another snugger-fitting sleeve right away (without me even asking). Cool company! I highly recommend them to everyone.http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases.htm

It sounds to me as though you're looking for the same thing I was when I bought this bag. I do property inspections so I carry camera, tape measure, small notebook, small light, etc and honestly I had high hopes for this bag and it failed miserably for my purposes. I'm sure it's a great school bag but it doesn't have the reinforcements necessary to hold it's shape or provide easy access. Don't get this bag for what you're doing. I bought a UTG Multi-functional Tactical bag and it's perfect. I also like the Bestek SLR DSLR Canvas bag for what you're doing both of these bags I got from Amazon. I carry either depending on my location. Good luck and I hope this helped. It sounds to me as though you're looking for the same thing I was when I bought this bag.

A yoga mat is great if you have a hardwood or laminate floor. Hand weights are also needed. My current hand weights only go up to 5lbs right now, which has been perfect for me for the past 3 1/2 months. She also uses resistance bands in the workouts but if you didn't purchase the kit that comes with them then the hand weights would work just fine.

Agreed standard sizes will fit and be a bit snug at their thickest. That can be helpful because there is less jostling and movement within the bag that way.

I would say too big... I was using my bag for the gym with a pair of shoes, weights, towels, jacket and a few other small things and it still had a lot of room in it! It's flexible enough that you could easily shove it into a locker if you only had those few things you listed in it. I ended up getting a smaller bag for me to use for the gym.

I now just travel w Gaiam yoga mat towels. There are different styles and thickness - outstanding for hot yoga - and you just lay over the studio funky mats :)I've tried the Manduka towels and they are not nearly as well made and they constantly bunch up on top of mat irritating

It sounds like your wife has an extra long mat, which shouldn't be an issue. I roll my mat sized towel with my mat and fit it into the bag, no problem. I will say that you have to roll it pretty well for it to fit seamlessly into the yoga bag. If this sounds like too much of a hassle to do after class, you might consider getting her a garment yoga bag.
