If you go to the gym in the morning...

I do prefer to come home just because that's where all my stuff is, but I'll usually get ready at the gym. I am paying for their membership and such, may as well take advantage of their power and hot water too lol! Also, it is just much more convenient to hit the gym on my way to work, it sets up my day to be a lot more energetic!

I get ready at the gym. I keep shampoo/conditioner/facewash/dry shampoo/razor in my gym bag, as well as a make-up bag that I can either use at home or at the gym.

When I go to crossfit I get ready get at the gym. My winter gym, I'll call it now, I get ready at home since it is so close by.

Trust me if I can switch to morning workouts anyone can. Plus it is so nice to be free after work and not have to worry about getting to the gym.

I used to work out in the mornings and it's definitely an adjustment, but it really is a good option if it works with your schedule. The key for me was having everything ready the night before - gym bag packed with shower stuff, makeup and work clothes. If I tried to pack the gym bag in the morning, I would pretty much always forget something crucial.

I work out at the gym in the morning in the winter (it's too dark that early to run outside). I'll then just shower there and head straight to work. I agree about having everything ready the night before. Otherwise I either end up waking up DH, or forgetting something like a bra (which I've done - but luckily I only live ~ 1 mile from the gym).

I also do what mkate does. I have my clothes all layer out and lunch packed. I do still forget something crucial quite often, but so far it hasn't been an item of vital clothing, so I'm happy about that.

On the days I go to the gym in the morning, I do what mkate does -- the gym bag is packed the night before, including gatorade and a power bar. I wake up, brush my teeth, put on gym clothes, grab bags and go. I keep a second set of toiletries in the gym bag; the only thing I miss out on is the clarisonic.

I have a toothbrush/toothpaste at work, so I brush teeth after lunch as well.

oh yea, and I also pack my clothes the night before. and I also keep an "emergency set" at work, which includes a full set of clothes (including bra/undies), make-up, deodorant, shoes, etc.

I used to, when I drove to work, but taking the bus has put a damper on that. I live a mile from my gym, so I just go home and shower.

If I work out in the morning, it's either in the little gym in our apt (so I can run on the treadmill) or I do a workout video like P90X. I don't think I'd have the will to get up much earlier so I could get to the gym.
