Dress Code

Apparel should be clean, well-fitting, and in good repair. Our dress code is somewhat 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.
