but your 'weather-ability' might! So please come prepared to work outside. For this reason,
suitable footwear is also essential. You must bring waterproofs with you, as outdoor activities
will not be cancelled due to rain. In the case of extreme weather conditions, we will modify or
provide alternative exercises which can take place indoors.

All rooms have linen and towels, no need to bring them. Shower gel, shampoo and hair dryers are
not provided.
