Equipment Pack
Equipment Pack
You can do the classes without any equipment at all, but do make sure you have a carpet or non-slip rug to exercise on. A Pilates or yoga mat is probably the most essential item.
There’s no need to purchase everything. Each class has a list of what you’ll need so check there first.
Here is a list of equipment you may need (Links to suggested recommended products from APPI but please do your own research)
