What do I need to bring to the gym?

We have a no towel, no workout policy, which means you must bring a towel with you on each visit, to sit on and use to wipe down the equipment you use after you are done using it. 

You need to wear closed in runners/shoes to protect your feet. 

Wear comfotable, non-restructive clothes to exercise in. T-shirts, tights, shorts, singlets and the like are perfect training wear.
