What do I wear?
T-shirts or singlets work best for our classes along with any pair of shorts you can squat in. You wont need Muay Thai shorts for your first session but if you would like to purchase some they are available at reception. No footwear is required.
Just trying it out? Don’t have the gear?
For your first free trial, we’ll happily lend you a pair of gloves to use during your introductory session. After that, we recommend getting your own — but if you’re not ready to buy just yet, we have hire gear available too. Quality gloves and gear are also available for purchase right here at the gym when you arrive.
