'Not only are they dying to try it out because it looks like fun, but they are coming in and getting a great workout and being able to do all these moves that have kept them out of the gym for years,' Babcock said. Every first-timer starts in level one with the basics. Watkins cues up the music and starts to demonstrate and explain the different moves. Once the bungees are set and the harness is secured around the legs and waist, it is time to get warmed up. Watkins said everyone's first class takes a little time due to the setup, but they make note of what works best for all their students to make the next class' setup quicker. There was some light math and a quick reference of a laminated card before she climbed onto a ladder to count out the bungees and secure them with a locking carabiner. While the harnesses are proprietary to Sling Bungee, they look much like rock-climbing harnesses.Īfter signing a waiver, I stepped onto a scale so Watkins could calculate the number of bungees she needed to attach to the harness. Another locking carabiner secures a grouping of proprietary bungee cords that are clipped to a padded harness.

The equipment will look familiar to anyone who has enjoyed rock climbing. One wall is lined with mirrors, and there is a loft at the far end of the studio.Then the harnesses come into focus. One first glance, the studio seems bare and fresh.
