THICK, GRIPPY MAT

WELLNESS TIP: Select a mat that allows you to develop your practice and sustain your health. When exercising regularly, protect your joints with a mat that is at least 5 mm thick. The more grip a mat provides, the more enjoyable your practice. Materials that are anti-bacterial, dry quickly, and do not mold are important to consider!

YOGA BLOCKS

WELLNESS TIP: Blocks bring the ground closer to you, offer stability when exploring amplifications, and can provide cushion between your body and the floor. These are optional for your practice, but can enhance the experience if you take the variations offered.

HAND WEIGHTS

WELLNESS TIP: Purchase weights with neoprene or non-slip materials especially for barefoot practices. This will make your movement experience safer and more comfortable on your hands.

RUN VEST

WELLNESS TIP: Be fast, free, and focused during your outdoor cardio session with a vest to hold your important belongings. Depending on the duration of your practice, you can add hydration packs if needed.

RUNNING & WALKING SHOES

WELLNESS TIP: For cardio workouts, wear supportive sneakers that absorb impact. This will protect your joints and improve your training.

KETTLE BELL

WELLNESS TIP: This is a great prop for power training, but a lot of the exercises we teach at Stack House can be mimicked with a dumbbell or weighted (medicine) ball. If you have delicate flooring, purchase soft kettle bells.

WEIGHTED BALL

WELLNESS TIP: Medicine balls are an amazing prop to enhance your strength training and practice explosive movements. These can also be used for muscular endurance, depending on the size.

ANKLE & WRIST WEIGHTS

WELLNESS TIP: Your body will adapt to the demands during exercise, and overtime you will desire more intensity. Ankle and wrist weights are the perfect addition to your equipment collection if you are looking for an added challenge.

WEIGHTED VEST

WELLNESS TIP: Similar to ankle and wrist weights, weighted vests add a perfect challenge, and are generally preferred for joint health over bangle style weights. If you intend to build strength, purchase an adjustable vest that can become heavier over time.

TRAINING SNEAKERS

WELLNESS TIP: For power training, wear sneakers that allow you to move in multiple directions. These sneakers are usually thinner around the sole than running shoes, which prevents twisting an ankle.

ROPE-LESS BATTLE ROPES

WELLNESS TIP: This prop is usually a crowd-favorite during class. Challenge your upper body strength and speed, and protect your floors with these rope-less battle ropes.

ELEVATION BOX

WELLNESS TIP: Large boxes are great for explosive speed movements, like plyometrics, and for support during strength exercises, like a fitness bench. Additionally, when you move a weight over an elevation or distance, the intensity of your workout increases.

ELEVATION STEP

WELLNESS TIP: Steps are great for practicing cardio endurance and speed exercises. Additionally, they are a great alternative to the elevation box for more accessible movement.

RESISTANCE BANDS

WELLNESS TIP: Resistance bands are great for building strength and mobility. If you purchase a set, you can increase the intensity overtime as you grow stronger.
