Dress Code

Apparel should be clean, well-fitting, and in good repair. Our dress code is relaxed for adult students as we want you to feel comfortable seeing yourself in the mirror.  However, we strongly recommend smooth, tight-fitting, and solid-colored garments. In order to assist you, your instructor needs to be able to see your muscles clearly.
