Wish I found this sooner. Shoulder strap is comfortable, the material feels durable, variety of pouches/zip pockets for organization of smaller items. And the perfect space for all the gym essentials.
Also the zippers open effortlessly, it’s a nice touch.

I use this bag to carry essentials to the gym and to Taekwondo classes. It's big enough to carry everything I need but still fits in a gym locker. Construction seems sturdy.

I didn’t need the larger duffle and chose the mini and it did not disappoint.
Customer service was 10/10 and they sent me measurements to determine if my lever belt would fit and it did.
Great bag, great company.
- JJeremyReviewingCORE Duffel Waxed Canvas Medium 35LI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars4 Stars
Quality of material feels amazing. Design is awesome. Only issue is the snaps for the handles comes undone with no effort. I don’t really use that feature much but it is annoying and if it was a prime feature for me it would be disappointing. Im eyeing the backpack as a daily use bag, maybe next year. Great bag.

CORE PRO Duffel — Mini 15L Gym Bag with External Lifting Belt Storage
The KNKG CORE PRO Mini Duffel is a compact 15L gym bag with external lifting belt storage, built for lifters who want to carry the essentials without unnecessary bulk.
Secure your KNKG lifting belt to the outside of the duffel while the streamlined interior carries your training clothes, lifting accessories, bottle, valuables and iPad.
A Compact Gym Duffel Designed to Carry a Lifting Belt
Weightlifting belts are bulky and can take up most of the usable space inside a small gym bag. Packing your belt internally can leave less room for clothes, sleeves, wraps, chalk and the other equipment needed for training.
The CORE PRO Mini Duffel solves this problem with dedicated external lifting belt storage. Your KNKG lifting belt stays secured to the outside of the bag, leaving the compact 15L interior available for the rest of your gym essentials.
- Save Internal Space: Carry your lifting belt externally instead of filling the main compartment.
- Secure Belt Storage: The external belt attachment helps keep your KNKG lifting belt held firmly against the duffel while you are on the move.
- Quick Access: Remove your lifting belt without unpacking your clothes or training accessories.
- Compact Carry: Bring the equipment you need without carrying an oversized gym bag.
Compact 15L Capacity for Essential Gym Gear
The CORE PRO Mini Duffel is designed for lifters who prefer a smaller, lighter gym bag. Its streamlined 15L capacity provides room for essential training equipment while remaining easy to carry, store and transport throughout the day.
It is ideal for shorter training sessions, minimalist gym setups and anyone who arrives at the gym wearing their training shoes.
Built for Weightlifting, Powerlifting and Strength Training
The CORE PRO Mini is not a generic small duffel with gym branding added to it. It is a purpose-built weightlifting gym bag designed around the accessories used during strength training, powerlifting, bodybuilding and functional fitness sessions.
Use it for daily gym visits, commercial gyms, powerlifting clubs, bodybuilding workouts, strength and conditioning sessions or training while travelling.
What Fits Inside the Mini 15L CORE PRO Duffel?
The 15L interior is made for a focused training setup. With your lifting belt carried externally, the CORE PRO Mini Duffel can hold essential gym equipment such as:
- A lightweight change of training clothes
- Knee sleeves or elbow sleeves
- Wrist wraps, lifting straps and grips
- Chalk, tape and smaller lifting accessories
- A compact gym towel
- A shaker bottle or water bottle
- Headphones and small training electronics
- Snacks or post-workout supplements
- Phone, wallet, keys and other valuables
- An iPad or similarly sized tablet
Carrying your lifting belt externally helps maximise the Mini Duffel’s compact internal capacity, leaving more room for the equipment you need during your workout.
Dedicated iPad Storage
The CORE PRO Mini Duffel includes storage for an iPad or similarly sized tablet, making it useful for workout programs, training videos, music and everyday organisation.
The Mini is designed for tablet storage only and does not include a laptop compartment.
No Dedicated Shoe Compartment
To keep the duffel compact and maximise usable space for clothing and training accessories, the 15L CORE PRO Mini does not include a separate shoe compartment.
It is best suited to lifters who wear their training shoes to the gym. Anyone who regularly carries a separate pair of weightlifting shoes or sneakers may prefer a larger CORE PRO Duffel with dedicated footwear storage.
Comfortable Grab-and-Go Carry
The compact duffel format makes the CORE PRO Mini easy to grab on the way to the gym, place inside a locker or carry alongside your other daily gear.
Reinforced carry handles and durable webbing help support the bag when it is loaded with lifting accessories, clothes, a bottle and other gym essentials.
More Ways to Personalise Your Mini Gym Bag
An expanded hook-and-loop panel gives you more space to personalise the CORE PRO Mini Duffel with patches. Add your name, gym, country flag, training club, competition patches or KNKG accessories to make the bag your own.
The larger patch area also makes it easier to identify your duffel in a busy gym, locker room or competition environment.
Heavy-Duty Materials and Construction
- Durable 500D nylon body material with PVC backing
- Ripstop nylon interior lining
- Heavy-duty YKK zippers
- Reinforced nylon webbing
- Upgraded metal hardware
- Reinforced carry handles
- Abrasion-resistant construction for demanding daily use
Smarter Organisation in a Small Gym Duffel
The CORE PRO Mini provides organised storage for clothing, lifting accessories, valuables and an iPad within a compact 15L design. Instead of carrying a large, partially empty gym bag, you can pack the essentials in a duffel that is easier to manage.
External belt storage also prevents your lifting belt from taking over the limited internal space, helping you get more from the Mini’s streamlined capacity.
Who Is the Mini 15L CORE PRO Duffel For?
The CORE PRO Mini Duffel is best suited to lifters who want external lifting belt storage in a compact, easy-to-carry gym bag. It is designed for people who carry a minimalist training setup and do not require dedicated shoe or laptop storage.
Choose the Mini 15L size if you normally carry your KNKG lifting belt, a light change of clothes, sleeves, wraps, a bottle, valuables and smaller lifting accessories. Choose a larger CORE PRO Duffel if you need to pack shoes, a laptop, multiple outfits or additional equipment.
