It was very sad to see Wong’s Camera closed after over fifty years at 110 Danforth Ave in Toronto, Canada.
I had not been down the west end of the Danforth for quite awhile and it was heartbreaking to look across the street and see the condition of the store and especially the deterioration of the sign. Wong’s used to be the place to go for darkroom supplies as it was one of the cheapest places in the city :(

This is my gym bag! I’ve had it for about 10 years now and it’s held up nicely. I also like that it doesn’t have any cardboard on the bottle so I can throw it in the washing machine whenever it gets dirty.
I found it hard to find one the right size because I wanted something big enough that can hold a change of clothes and my gym gear without being a massive duffle bag.
What’s inside:
-Lifting belt
-Knee braces
-Wrist wraps
-Lifting straps
-Notebook: I keep track of all my workouts. I always forget the weight I’ve done or how many reps. It’s also a great way to track progress. If I’m feeling discouraged, I can go back to old notebooks and look at how far I’ve come.
-iPod shuffle
-Small towel: some gyms require that you bring a towel, so I always keep on in there. It’s also great for if there aren’t any bar pads and you want to do barbell hip thrusts.
-Extra headphones: Because it’s the absolute worst when you’ve forgotten them or if they break mid-workout. I keep really cheap ones that aren’t the best quality but they’ll do in a pinch.
-Chapstick
-Extra headband & extra hairtie
-Gum: I clench my teeth when I concentrate so I chew gum so my nice teeth don’t end up as little nubs.
I also pack this extra stuff if I plan on boxing:
-Jump rope
-Boxing wraps
-MMA gloves
-Athletic tape: I tape my fingers on any area that rubs my gloves so I don’t rub my skin off.
Let me know what’s in your gym bag! I can also talk about any equipment in depth if you’d like to know more.
