Come Prepared in the Right Gear

Like any high-intensity workout, it's important that you wear clothing you can move and sweat in. Stretchy, moisture-wicking fabric is a must, since you will most definitely break a sweat. Whatever you wear running or to the gym should do the trick. But shoes are probably the most important aspect.

"Proper footwear is crucial to being comfortable not only on the treadmill but also the weight floor," Tim said. It took some trial and error for me to find shoes that would work on both the treadmill and the weight floor, but I'm glad I bought a pair of APL Phantom Techloom Running Shoes. They're lightweight, yet sturdy enough to carry me through treadmill jogs, sprints, and climbs, and they also keep me balanced and supported on the floor.

Depending on the studio's location, face masks may be required. And you'll also want to bring your own towel and a full water bottle (you'll definitely need it!)

In fact, Jamie recommends drinking plenty of water throughout the day of your class to stay hydrated before and after your workout. And if you're someone who likes to eat something before an intense workout, Tim recommends a snack high in simple carbohydrates to fuel you (here are some examples of our favourite preworkout snacks).
