What to Bring and What to Wear to Open Gym

What to Bring:

To make the most out of your Open Gym experience, here are a few essential items to bring with you:

  1. Water Bottle
    Staying hydrated is important, especially during physical activities. Bring a water bottle to ensure you stay refreshed throughout your session.

  2. Comfortable Clothes
    Dress comfortably in athletic wear that allows for easy movement. Avoid tight or restrictive clothing to fully enjoy the gym activities.

  3. Towel (Optional)
    Depending on the intensity of your workout, you may want to bring a towel to wipe off any sweat.

  4. Parent or Guardian (For Younger Participants)
    If your child is 5 years old or younger, a parent or guardian should accompany them during the session.

  5. Positive Attitude and Energy

What to Wear:

For both comfort and safety, here’s what you should wear to Open Gym:

  1. Comfortable Athletic Clothing
    Wear clothes that allow you to move freely, such as t-shirts, shorts, leggings, or sweatpants. Avoid any clothing with zippers or loose-fitting parts that could get caught in equipment.

  2. Sneakers for Ninja Gym
    If you’re planning to try out our Ninja Gym, you’ll need a pair of sneakers for proper foot support and grip. These are essential for navigating obstacle courses safely.

  3. Barefoot or Socks for Gymnastics
    If you’re participating in the gymnastics area, you can either go barefoot or wear socks with grips. This helps maintain safety while performing flips, jumps, and other gymnastic movements.
