Training hard means sweating hard, and the right towel makes all the difference between wiping down properly and dragging around a damp, heavy mess. These gym towels are built for the realities of intense sessions � quick-drying, compact enough to fit in your bag, and absorbent when you need them most.
From hand towels that tuck into your gym bag to sweatbands that keep perspiration out of your eyes during heavy lifting, each piece is designed to handle whatever your workout throws at it. No fluff, no bulk, just functional kit that does the job.
Who This Collection Is For
Whether you're hitting the weights, running intervals, or sweating through a HIIT class, these towels are for anyone who takes their training seriously enough to want proper gear. They're for gym-goers who appreciate kit that works as hard as they do, without taking up half their bag or staying damp for hours.
Perfect for regular gym users who need reliable essentials that can keep up with frequent training sessions. If you're the type who schedules workouts around your week rather than fitting them in when convenient, you'll appreciate towels that dry quickly enough to use again the next day.
When to Use Your Gym Towel
These towels earn their place in your kit bag during any session where you're pushing hard. Weight training, cardio intervals, circuit classes, or long gym sessions all create the need for quick wipes between sets and proper drying after you're done. Keep one handy to wipe down benches and equipment � good gym etiquette never goes out of style.
Sweatbands come into their own during high-intensity work where sweat becomes a genuine distraction. Deadlift days, running sessions, or any workout where you need clear vision and dry hands will benefit from having one on hand. They're also ideal for outdoor training when the weather's warm and there's nowhere to quickly towel off.

FAQs
What size are the gym towels?
The hand towels measure approximately 40cm x 90cm, making them large enough to be useful without being bulky. They're designed to fit easily into gym bags while providing enough coverage to dry off properly or wipe down equipment between sets.
How do I care for my gym towel?
Machine wash at 30 degrees with similar colours and tumble dry on low heat. The quick-drying fabric means they're ready to use again quickly, but avoid fabric softener as it can reduce absorbency over time. Regular washing keeps them fresh without wearing down the material.
Will these towels stay absorbent after multiple washes?
Yes, the fabric is designed to maintain its absorbency through frequent washing and regular use. Following the care instructions helps preserve the towel's performance, and washing without fabric softener ensures the fibres continue wicking moisture effectively.
Are the sweatbands one size fits all?
The sweatbands feature stretchy fabric that adapts to different head sizes comfortably. They're designed to stay secure during movement without feeling too tight, making them suitable for most people regardless of head circumference.
Can I use these towels for activities other than gym workouts?
Absolutely. While they're designed with gym training in mind, these towels work just as well for running, cycling, yoga, or any sport where you need to manage sweat. The compact size also makes them useful for travel or outdoor activities where space is limited.
Who designed these gym towels?
Myprotein's in-house design team created these towels specifically for training environments. They've focused on the practical features that matter during workouts � quick-drying fabric, compact size, and durability � while offering colour options that complement the rest of the activewear range.
How quickly do these towels dry compared to regular towels?
Much faster than standard cotton towels. The moisture-wicking fabric releases water quickly, so they're often dry within hours of use rather than staying damp overnight. This makes them practical for people who train multiple times per week and need their kit ready to go again.
What colours are available?
The collection includes a range of options from neutral tones like Mocha and Storm to bolder shades like Deep Berry. This variety lets you choose something that either blends with your existing gym kit or adds a pop of colour to your bag.
