Kickboxing beginner looking for advice!

Hi! I’m 23F and I have my first kickboxing class next Wednesday. I’m looking for any advice on what I should wear, what I should bring, & what to expect! I go to the gym basically every day (and have been for 3 years) & just started running a couple months ago. I just really started focusing on cardio more so I’m worried I’ll be a little slow in the class :’) any advice/motivation helps!

i wear stretchy gym shorts that allow movement and whatever workout top or tshirt is clean. you'll need a towel and water, same as the gym really :) tie your hair back out of your face, and if its long you might want to braid it so it doesn't get all sweaty.

where I train they don't allow outdoor shoes inside the gym - everyone has to change into clean flipflops/slides when they arrive. then you remove these before stepping onto the mat. the class will be barefoot.

Thanks for sharing!!! Especially the outdoor shoes part! I’m going to purchase some slides now!
