What do I need for the classes?

Every class is unique, so the equipment you'll need is listed with each video, along with the difficulty level, length of the class, and instructor's name. If no equipment is listed, it may be helpful to watch the beginning of the video to determine what equipment is recommended for that class.

What if I don't have home gym equipment?

There are many classes that don’t need any equipment at all. We encourage you to explore the classes to see what ones will work for you and the equipment you have at home.

For small weights, try using items you have at home, such as canned goods.

Remember, getting up and moving is what matters most (along with having fun!). Get your heart rate up and don’t stress if you aren’t lifting your normal weight.
