gym locker

Workout storage compartment

A gym locker is a small storage compartment, typically metal, found in fitness centers and athletic facilities for securing personal belongings while exercising.

The term evokes a particular atmosphere—the smell of sweat and disinfectant, combination locks, narrow benches: I left my wallet in my gym locker.

Gym locker also modifies other nouns: gym locker room, gym locker combination.
