I had been looking for a gym bag with a separate shoe compartment and this one is great. I normally just keep the shoes, a small towel, and clothes in there, so it was the perfect size for me without being too bulky. I really like the color. There are enough small pockets so I won't lose jewelry or my phone or anything in the bag. Keep in mind the shoe compartment takes up space in the rest of the bag, so it is fairly small.

This bag was exactly what I was looking for. I needed a quality bag that I could use for yoga, swimming, and after work gym sessions. It is a perfect size for storing in a gym locker and fits everything I need. My main concern when ordering this bag was if it would be big enough. I can easily fit all of my work clothes (boots, pants, shirt, and a small jacket) and still have room for more. I also love all of the pockets to organize and store various items like dirty shoes and jewelery. It feels sturdy and well made and I am hoping it will stand the test of time.

The bag is petite, so if you have bulky items or equipment, this is not the bag for you.

I absolutely love this bag. I was concerned it may be a little small but decided to get it anyway. It's perfect. Fantastic quality. It's not a huge bag it's true but there is plenty of room as long as you don't plan on carrying your whole life in there. Right now in mine I have gym shoes, pants, sports bra, top, socks, tanning lotion, lock and a couple other small items with PLENTY of room left. I love love love the shoe compartment.

This bag was much smaller than I anticipated. Its fine for maybe sneakers, t-shirt and shorts...but you won't be able to fit anything else in it. Thats is unless you're itty bitty and don't have big feet or bigger clothes, But if you wear a size 10 sneaker, they will take up almost the whole bag. Openning is also small.

I've been on the hunt for a great gym bag. Not an ease thing to find after all the searching I've done. But I was lucky enough to run across this listing and I'm so pleased I did. I love the purple color as it's not the typical black bag or black with bright color highlight as most gym bags. The price is so reasonable and totally worth every penny. Previously I used a typical duffel bag that only had one pocket on the outside and no firm bottom so everything sunk to the middle when you picked it up. This bag however has great structure, great pockets (even a nifty vented pocket on the top flap for added storage) and the padded strap is very comfortable.

While the bag isn't huge like some people need to haul all their stuff to the gym it will definitely fit a pair of tennis shoes (in the shoe compartment), plus two pairs of workout pants and tops (rolled up), a sports bra for the ladies and a couple pairs of socks or other clothing items. Due to the hidden pockets or zippered areas I can also store my iPod, cell phone, keys, gym card, jewelry pouch and small wallet. The side water bottle pocket is also a nice feature and leaves your hands free!

As I mentioned before about the size, if you're someone who also showers at the gym and needs the hair products, curling iron and makeup then this isn't the bag for you and go a little bigger; however, for typical gym visits with just a change of clothes needed then you're all set!
