Amazon and most sports shops have a selection of equipment, and here’s our quick tips on what to look for.
We recommend hex dumbbells; they won’t roll because of the hexagonal shape and so are useful for floor exercises like tricep dips or renegade rows.  Look for dumbbells coated in urethane (or polyurethane) which is a more durable outer layer and won’t mark your floor.
As you’ll be on your knees, elbows and palms on your mat, a thicker mat (5mm – 9mm) will provide extra cushioning on hard floors and will be the most hard-wearing.   A PVC or natural rubber (more eco-friendly) mat with a slightly textured surface will give you the best grip.
For our online workouts, a mini resistance band is the most useful.  You can buy these stretchy loops singly or in packs with a range of resistances, so you can challenge yourself by increasing the resistance as you get stronger!
We use a Pilates mini exercise ball (like a soft netball) in our barre classes to add in resistance or instability.  Look for a ball with a diameter of 23cm, or 19cm if you’re petite, made out of non-slip, strong, burst-resistant material.  The pack should include a pump to inflate your ball.
Yoga block – roughly about 23cm long, 8cm high & 16cm deep. Can be used in our barre classes for support in certain moves, and to help build strength and flexibility with others.
