What Do I Wear?For your first session just wear comfortable work out clothes and gym shoes. Please wear shoes that do not have a heavy tread. What we don't provide is protective cups for men, so please bring your own. When you first come to the club we will provide you with almost everything you need. For women, we do have plastrons for the chest. An example of our full uniform is red socks, knee-pants, club shirt, and proper shoes. Our club shirts can be purchased online at https://www.zazzle.com/store/phoenix_society/products For when you are ready to get your own gear, our suggested gear list can be checked out here.
