The gym is bright with morning light or buzzing under fluorescent bulbs at dusk; canvas bags sway like pendulums and a thin smear of liniment leaves a scent that says work and history.

Stay hydrated and salted
Bring a large water bottle and sip frequently; the gym is hot and sessions are high intensity, so add electrolytes if you sweat heavily.
Hand wraps help protect your wrists
If you plan to punch pads, bring or rent hand wraps—trainers will correct wrapping techniques to prevent injury.
Disclose health conditions up front
Tell instructors about any back, heart, or pregnancy concerns; the gym screens for these and can modify or advise against participation.

Show respect with a short wai greeting and arrive 10–15 minutes before class for check-in, which keeps the session focused and safe.
