    Headphones to drown out the grunting and crap music usually played

    What headphones do you use for the gym? I need to but don't know what is good as so many to choose from

    Definitely water bottle. And if you're at my local The Gym then a mobile phone so you can sit at the equipment scrolling every 5 mins between sets

    Before, during and after sets, in my experience.

    Wear clothes your comfortable in, same with trainers. Just don't wear jeans
    Tshirt and pair of joggers will be fine

    Access to YouTube so you can learn how to use machines when you aren't sure how it works.

    Consider looking into protein powders, bcaa etc. Shaker bottle.

    Comfortable clothing (joggers, shorts etc), sports/running trainers, could consider gym gloves to avoid rough skin on your hands if that's a concern.
    Wrist straps can be considered when lifting heavy weights.

    Back pack and padlock for lockers. Do not leave your stuff in the changing room outside the locker, or in a locker without a padlock. (edited)

    Protein shakes, if not 250ml milk and crack 2 raw eggs will do as Eddie says.
