Water Bottles

Two 1-litre bottles. One sipper bottle for gym and cardio sessions and the other preferably wide mouth bottle for during the day. We recommend Camelbak or any other BPA Free plastic/ glass bottle.

Light weight Hoodie Jacket

This is a must as when you do your cardio and training activities. Get a few of these as you will sweat in them.

Socks

Warm socks for the night are a must. Please get a minimum of 2 pairs. Gym Socks atleast 5-7 pairs for your training and cardio. If you are someone who feels cold easily then get 2 pairs of woolen socks for the nights.

Music

Carry your Head phones. Hobby related stuff: Books, Art material if you like drawing or painting; paper craft or any other leisure activity that you always want to do in your free time but never do. Just ensure it is more a relaxing activity to rejuvenate after your training not to physically intense.

Gym clothes

Please avoid shorts / spaghettis or three fourth pants. You need full tracks, full sleeve hooded t-shirts. You don’t need any formal clothes; but weekly once we do go out for your cheat meal; for women basic causal jeans and a jacket and for men t-shirt and jeans or shirt and jeans is great.

Shoes

We need 2 pairs of sports shoes, one for cardio sessions, usually in the outdoors and one ultra clean pair of shoes for the Gym/ Indoor cardio routines only. THIS IS A MUST. The shoes we recommend are – Nike Free and Cross Fit Reebok. If you have shoes and are not planning to buy new ones then please tell us which ones we will guide you. As good shoes are very important or you will have blisters and feet pain.

Cap and sunscreen

Once it gets a bit sunny you will need a hat. The sun in Kodaikanal is fairly strong.

Sweater/Jacket

Important as nights are nippy. The house is not centrally heated.

Slippers

Indoor slippers for the house as it is cold, one for outside to use in the backyard, gardens etc.

Beanie

Head gear is most important to keep you warm and going in the morning sessions.

Multi-utility Bag

This bag is very useful to bring things to the session for eg: to carry your bottle, heart rate monitor, socks, warm gloves etc. As there are quite a few things and most students forget one item or another and have to go to their room several times.

Bands/Braces

If you have an old injury please bring your personal knee / ankle / back / elbow / wrist band / braces as it is very difficult to find the correct sizes in Kodaikanal. Also old injuries do crop up, when you start exercising.

Important things to note
