GET READY, GET SET, GO!
WHAT TO WEAR
- Wear comfortable clothes that you feel good in (and that don't restrict your movement).
- As the windows will be open for ventilation, you may want a warmer layer for the start and finish.
- Wear trainers.​
​
WHAT TO BRING
- Bring water with you.
- You may wish to bring a small towel - you will sweat.
- Shaker weights are provided but if you would like to bring your own, that's fine!

THINGS TO REMEMBER
- These classes are for all levels of experience and fitness - we're all in it together,
- If you go the wrong way, do the wrong move, or miss a beat it doesn't matter, no one cares!
- Move as much, or as little, as feels good for your body and how you’re feeling.
- Go at your own pace and take a break whenever you need to.
