What Should I Wear to BOSU Blast?
Comfortable workout clothes, making sure your pants aren’t too long. It’s important to wear proper footwear. We recommend a cross trainer with good lateral support. We also appreciate that your runners are clean and limited to indoor use, as the studio is a multi use facility.
