@joyinsf I feel your pain. I decided to switch gyms. My work gym is amazing and cheaper but I work from home 1-2 days a week and it is a massive PITA to carry all my shit. So now I'm a member at a 24/7 gym close to my home. I much prefer going with just my wallet, keys, water bottle, phone (which all fit in my yoga pant pockets). And coming home and taking a shower. Or being able to work out on weekends and holidays when I actually have more time and motivation. Or being able to get home, rest and workout later. It's just made my day feel less stressed.
I still really miss my work gym and it would be nice to have the mid-workday workout option, so if I'm really feeling it I'll probably pay the $5 fee for a one time workout, but I can't carry all my things everyday. I think having options is good, if it keeps you committed.
Edit - something you could try is having a checklist and having duplicates of stuff at home and in your gym bag. My stress comes from "what if I forget". Another thing is to invest in a good gym bag - I don't drive to work so lugging everything around on public transport needs to be comfortable.
