Gym Basics
Footwear:
Cardio/General: Cushioned running shoes.
Lifting: Flat-soled shoes (like Chuck Taylors, Vans, or barefoot shoes) to give you a stable base for squats and presses.
Clothing: Breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics. Avoid loose, baggy clothes that can snag on cables or pin-select machines.
Gym Bag Essentials: Water bottle, small sweat towel, wireless headphones, and a lock if you plan to use the locker room.
