Would it be a good purchase for a workout towel? just to carry around the gym while working out?

That's what I use it for. You will need to wash it a few times before it gets soft though...

This would be an excellent choice and is exactly what I use mine for. I prefer the large towel as it gives excellent coverage the handlebars of a spin bike. If you just need to wipe sweat the medium would probably be sufficient.

If used to wipe away sweat it would be great. Other wise you could probably find better options.

No. It is for working out and not thick or wide enough. It is like the kind LeBron James wears during a basketball game

I would think so,. The clip isn't very strong so depending on how active your workout is, it might be best secured with an arm band or held in a pocket.

It all depends on the intended use. I bought mine for camping. I am a big guy, so I chose the beach towel size. Once I got it, it appears to be a little bigger than a beach towel. In hindsite I could have gone smaller for the sake of packing.

I occasionally use these to work out. They are decent if you want to use them for weight lifting or something else where you aren't moving very fast. I run in them occasionally but they do fall out a lot once I start to sweat.

My experience says Yes. I believe it is no worse nor better than most of the brands on the market. I use it for all washing (sheets, towels, jeans, undershirts, etc) and have never been disappointed. Even sweaty workout gear comes clean (and fresh smelling). I'm a big fan of the subtle Lavender scent.

It's not a towel. It doesn't absorb. It's more of a scrub cloth. Think of a flexible loofa. Great for lifting dead skin.

It could be used as a bath towel. It will be more absorbent, but not quite as soft as a regular towel.

I used bath towels in there when I do body wraps...but it gets tight FAST! (You do understand, the towels need to be wet or they can catch fire? Sorry, just want to make sure you understand it's a "wet towel warmer".)If you MOSTLY do bath sized towels, there is a XL towel warmer that is a little better for that.)

It is very absorbent, and it dries well. It is nothing like what you think a towel would be, but it is big and it works well, and is lightweight.

I use this with Lululemon's "The Mat" without any issue. I've never used the Manduka Pro, but think it would work well--the rubber grip dots on the bottom of the towel get good traction on the stickiness of the mat without digging into it, and my towel generally stays put through all 90 minutes of hot yoga class.

Haven't tried but I think it would work. I wouldn't fold it, for my mat it would be about the right size. I don't think it would slip. It's thin and grippy. And super absorbent. Great towel.

I think it is. I sweat a lot so a normal towel just doesn't cut it. I have a "yogitoes" towel as well but I much prefer the Manduka towel to the point that I no longer use the yogitoes towel and only keep it in case my Manduka towel is dirty. I haven't used the yogitoes towel for six months. I highly recommend the Manduka towel. It is light weight and drys quickly. If you sweat like I do, get the extra long version to get more water retention.

It would definitely be useful working out with dumbells. I use mine for just about every activity I do which includes working out with dumbells. Can't beat the price.

For backpacking: This would be great to tie to your shoulder strap to wipe sweat away. For everyday carry you probably would not want something this bulky in your pocket. I bought the xl to use for a towel and I always feel damp afterwards.

I would believe it to be ideal for gym use, due to it small size. It works great and a clip is attached to the unit. It comes with ear buds but I use my own because of comfort and they are low priced on Amazon. It is a very nice player without too many bells and whistles and provides good sound for your listening pleasure.
