Holly’s Top Picks from Built For Athletes

When it comes to training, travel, and everyday life, I like my kit to be organised, practical, and built to last. Here are my go-to essentials from Built for Athletes—the ones I genuinely use day in, day out.

Tote Bag
This is my ultimate everyday bag. It basically lives in my car and comes with me everywhere, to training, meetings, and travel days. I keep my laptop, snacks, chargers, and anything I might need in here. It’s super easy to add and remove things, and it’s just the right size for a busy, on-the-go lifestyle.

Pro Series 45L Gym Backpack
This is my main gym and training backpack—the one that carries my shoes, gear, and all my essentials. It’s tough, structured, and fits everything without being bulky. Whether I’m heading to the track or lifting in the gym, this bag has a place for everything.

Pro Series Duffel Bag
The duffel bag is what I reach for when I know I’ve got two sessions in a day—which happens quite often. It lives in the boot of my car and fits everything I could need: shoes, multiple training outfits, a change of clothes for after the gym, and even an overnight stay kit for weekends away. It’s the ultimate all-rounder.

Patches Collection
I love adding patches to my bags—they give them a bit of character and personality. Some have meaning or a motivational quote, and others just make me smile. It’s a small touch that makes my training kit feel personal and unique.
