FAQs

What kind of towel is best for the gym?

For the gym, a microfibre towel is usually the best choice. Microfibre towels are great because they absorb sweat quickly, dry fast and stay lightweight. They help keep you dry and comfortable during your workout, without becoming heavy or bulky. Unlike cotton towels, which can hold onto moisture and take longer to dry, microfiber towels are more convenient and effective for gym use.

What is the difference between a gym towel and a bath towel?

Gym towels are made to be more durable and tough, designed to handle the demands of workouts while being smaller and easier to carry. Bath towels, on the other hand, are typically softer and more absorbent for drying after a shower. While bath towels are highly absorbent for drying your body, gym towels focus on wicking away sweat and drying quickly. Gym towels also tend to last longer and maintain their quality even after many washes, unlike bath towels which may wear out faster.

How big should your gym towel be?

A gym towel should ideally be around 40 cm by 90 cm. This size provides enough surface area to effectively wipe away sweat during workouts while remaining compact and easy to carry in a gym bag. Some people may prefer slightly larger towels, especially if they have longer or more intense workouts. However, a towel that’s too small, like a hand towel, won’t offer enough coverage, while an extra large bath sheet is too large and bulky for most gym sessions.
