Hydrate Before and During
Bring a full water bottle and sip between rounds—tropical heat plus high-intensity intervals escalate dehydration quickly.
Wear Breathable Training Clothes
Light shorts and a moisture-wicking top let you move and cool; the class trains barefoot, so skip heavy footwear.
Declare Injuries and Limits
Trainers tailor drills but need to know about spinal, heart, or pregnancy restrictions—this activity is not recommended for those conditions.
Arrive Early for Wraps/Setup
Arrive 10–15 minutes before start to sign waivers, put on hand wraps, and get a short warm-up to prevent injuries.
Reusable Water Bottle
Keeps you hydrated through high-intensity rounds in tropical heat.
