WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO BE SAFE

  • Equipment (weight factor) -Depending on the class some of them have equipment so take the advice of the instructor as they instruct you on the weight to use for the first time. Some classes you can use just your own body weight and still receive strength benefits
  • Hydration -Remember to bring water to all classes and hydrate during the class, instructors will mention to class to take a drink but remember you can always pause when you need.
  • Shoes and clothing -Wear appropriate clothing for the activity. Shoes are always important, make sure they are for the workout, ex. cycling shoes for indoor cycling, or shoes with lateral support if doing a high intensity class with directional changes. In aquatics it is important to remember that a regular swimsuit does not give the support needed to perform water exercise effectively.
  • Injuries -Consult your physician if you have had prior injuries or surgeries to ensure that you are cleared for exercise.
