On the bright side, more athletic wear companies have recognized this need and started to create clothes with handy dandy pockets. This should have been a thing way long ago, but check out current workout clothes with convenient spots to store all your essentials.

The all-mesh back on this workout top gives you maximum room to breathe during workouts, and the secure side pocket gives you maximum storage without the fear of your items falling out mid-treadmill.
Victoria Sport High Low Tank ($11.99)
This workout tank has hit the trifecta—built-in sports bra, mesh ventilation to cool you down, and two pockets! Both pockets sit on the lower back so they won't get in your way while you get your sweat on.
Athleta Ace Racer Tank ($69)
What's better than discovering that a dress has pockets? Discovering that your leggings have pockets! This pair has not one but THREE whole pairs of pockets—one on each side and another smaller one in the waistband. Leggings are the purses of the future.
Forever 21 Active Mesh-Pocket Leggings ($19.90)
The incognito pocket on the back of these shorts can fit your keys and wallet perfectly. Your phone might be a bit of a stretch, but we can't always get what we want.
Lululemon Run Times Short Block It Pocket 4" ($64)
If you want even more storage in your drawers, check out these Nike shorts. They have a waterproof back pocket that ensures your valuables won't get wet. Or for the rare occasion you decide to run in the rain. They also have one other small pocket on the right hip.
Nike Dry Modern Tempo Women's 3" Running Shorts ($45)
You would never pay $45 for a regular old sports bra, but you would pay $45 for a sports bra full of storage. This highly ventilated and completely genious bra has an internal mesh storage pocket that can comfortably fit your phone. You already toss half your purse in your bra during workouts, so this ensures everything stays put and doesn't fly out of your chest.
The North Face Women's Stow-N-Go Bra ($45)
For cooler days, bust out this top with a small pocket on the left shoulder. This can even double as your go-to errand running top. You won't need to take a purse with you if you don this sleek piece to the grocery store.
