Before you come

What to wear (and what to leave at home)

Do wear

A t-shirt with tracksuit bottoms, shorts or leggings — or a leotard.
Clothes that fit. Anything baggy gets in the way, and a loose t-shirt can end up over your head mid-bounce.
Cotton socks — essential. They stop toes catching in the bed, and nylon slips and builds static.

Don't wear

Jewellery of any kind, anywhere — not even ear studs. The bed is a mesh and jewellery can catch as the body rebounds.
Crop tops or short t-shirts — they act like a parachute on the way down.
If something genuinely cannot be removed, message Colin before the session. Taped or covered items be allowed at the lead coach's discretion.
First session? Download and  bring your signed membership and medical form — nobody can take part until we have it.

Still got a question about money?

Ask — it's a fair question and Colin would rather answer it before you commit. The FAQs cover most of it.
