“There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear” Pro Tip: Always Layer.


Layers:


Base Layer (all seasons) – choose a base layer made of moisture-wicking material to help keep moisture away from the skin and keep you dry.  Go for technical, sweat-wicking fabrics, like antibacterial Smart wool for your base layer. (Remember Cotton is rotten - it holds moisture next to your skin like a cold sponge)


Mid Layer (fall, spring and winter) designed of fleece or another warmer material to help keep you warm throughout your workout.  Designed with fleece or other warmer material.


Outer Layer (Rain, Snow, Winter and Spring/Fall when needed) Choose an outer layer that blocks cold and rain and helps keep you warm and dry regardless of the weather.  Water and windproof is best for this layer.


Sun:


As the temperature warms up, you may find that you don’t want to wear as much clothing during your workouts outside. However, it’s important to consider both sun exposure and chafing. Wearing long-sleeve moisture-wicking fabrics can help keep you cool and comfortable while protecting you from the sun. While wearing shorts and tanks, remember anti-chafe balm can help prevent chafing at your thighs, arms, and anywhere else skin rubs together. Don’t forget your sunscreen!


Cold:


Keep your extremities warm! It’s important to keep your hands, feet and head warm since they’ll be the first ones to lose heat. Even during not-so-cold temperatures, your fingers and toes may get cold. We recommend warm, snug-fitting gloves and sweat-wicking socks to keep your hands and feet warm.


Wind:


When wind,  layer a base layer next to the skin, a warm mid layer if needed, and then an outer windproof jacket. The windproof jacket will stop the wind getting through and making you cold. Wear a windproof jacket and then put the waterproof over the top for extra protection.

For Outdoor Fitness Strong, Bootcamp, Vitality and Stroller Fit & Me, you will require an exercise mat and exercise tubing. You are able to purchase both on your franchise’s website. We also recommend that you bring a bottle of water and wear sunscreen and sunglasses as required.

Absolutely. However, it is always best to contact your franchise manager to discuss the right program for you and we recommend you let your coach know of any injuries or restrictions prior to your class so they can offer options or modifications as needed.

Many women exercise during and throughout their pregnancy and most are encouraged to do so. Best practice is to check with your doctor and do contact your franchise manager to receive the medical self evaluation form.

Most new moms are encouraged to wait 6 weeks prior to resuming a full exercise program after giving birth. Best practice is to get your doctors clearance prior to restarting your exercise program.
