What to Wear in a Bungee Fitness Class

Bungee Fitness classes involve dynamic movements, so it's important to wear clothing that allows full range of motion and provides comfort and support. Here’s what to wear:

• Comfortable Activewear
• Top: A fitted, moisture-wicking t-shirt or tank top that stays in place during jumps and stretches. Avoid loose clothing that may get caught in the bungee harness.
• Bottoms: Stretchy, form-fitting leggings or athletic shorts that allow freedom of movement, especially around the hips and legs.
• Footwear: Most Bungee Fitness studios require participants to wear non-slip, supportive sneakers or gym shoes. Make sure they are clean and have good grip to avoid slipping.
• Avoid Jewelry:
• It's recommended to remove jewelry such as rings, necklaces, or bracelets, as these can interfere with the harness and could cause discomfort or damage during the workout.
• Hair:
• Tie your hair back in a ponytail or bun, especially if you have long hair, to prevent it from getting caught in the harness or distracting you during the class.

What to Bring to a Bungee Fitness Class

• Water Bottle:
• Stay hydrated! Bring a water bottle to keep hydrated before, during, and after the class. Bungee Fitness can be quite intense, and hydration is key to maintaining energy levels.
• Towel:
• Bring a small towel to wipe off sweat during or after the class. Bungee Fitness can get intense, and you may sweat more than expected, especially during high-energy moves.
• Positive Attitude:
• Come ready to have fun and push your limits. Bungee Fitness is all about enjoying the experience while getting a great workout!

What to Expect in a Bungee Fitness Class

• Introduction & Setup:
• Welcome and Safety Briefing: The instructor will introduce you to the class, explain the key safety protocols, and show you how to properly wear your bungee harness. The harness is connected to a bungee cord that helps support your movements and provides a safe, low-impact workout.
• Warm-Up: Expect a gentle warm-up to get your muscles ready. This may involve light cardio, stretching, and mobility exercises.
• The Workout:
• Dynamic Movements: Throughout the class, you’ll engage in various bungee-assisted exercises such as bouncing, jumping, squatting, lunging, and twisting. The bungee cord provides assistance, making each movement feel lighter and more fun.
• Strength and Cardio: The class combines strength exercises targeting different muscle groups (e.g., arms, legs, core) with cardio moves to keep your heart rate up. Your instructor will guide you through each exercise, adjusting intensity as needed.
• Low Impact: Bungee Fitness is low-impact because the harness helps cushion landings, making it gentler on your joints compared to traditional high-impact workouts. However, the workout remains effective and can challenge your balance, strength, and endurance.
• Cool-Down:
• After the main workout, the class will wind down with a cool-down period involving stretches and relaxation techniques to help your body recover and prevent injury.
• Fun Atmosphere:
• Bungee Fitness classes often have a fun and motivating vibe. The music, the bounce, and the excitement of flying through the air make it feel more like play than a traditional workout. Expect encouragement and support from your instructor and fellow participants.
• Instructor Support:
• The instructor will provide individual adjustments if needed and ensure that everyone is using proper form to avoid injury. They will also help you adjust your harness for comfort and safety throughout the class.

Additional Tips for a Successful Class:

• Arrive Early: Arrive 10-15 minutes early to get fitted with your harness and settle in before class starts.
• Eat Light: Avoid heavy meals right before class, but have a light snack if needed to keep your energy up at least 45 mins. Before showing up. 
• Take It Easy: If you’re new to Bungee Fitness, don’t feel pressured to do everything perfectly from the start. The bungee system assists you, so take it slow and focus on getting the form right. Over time, your confidence and strength will build.
