2. BRING YOUR ESSENTIALS

Before you step into class, make sure you’ve got the basics covered. Bringing the right gear helps you move comfortably, stay hydrated, and get the most out of your first Bar Method experience.

  • Water bottle 💧
     

  • Socks that cover the entire foot must be worn in class 🧦 - no shoes.
     

  • Attire: We recommend exercise pants that cover the knees, and a top that covers the midriff. 👚
     

  • If you prefer sports bra-style tops, we recommend adding a cover layer.
     

  • Men, if your shorts don’t reach your knees be sure to layer with a compression tight.
