Pack a Ready-to-Play Routine

Take the last-minute scramble out of getting to the gym.

When to use it

Use this before a new program or whenever arriving rushed gets in the way.

Put It into Practice

  1. Write down the actual session time, location, transport and pickup plan. Check uncertain details with your parent, guardian or coach before the day.
  2. Make your own short equipment list: suitable shoes, water and the items the program requests. Put the checklist beside your bag rather than relying on memory.
  3. Choose when you will pack and who to contact if transport changes. After one session, remove anything unnecessary and add anything you missed.
