What to Wear to Bungee Fitness: The Ultimate Comfort Guide

Stop the Pinch!

If you've ever tried a bungee class, you might know the dreaded "bungee bite"—where the harness straps pinch your skin during high-flying moves. Ouch!

But don't let that stop you. With the right gear, you can be 100% comfortable.

1. The Secret Weapon: Padded Cycling Shorts

Trust us on this one. Buy a pair of padded cycling shorts and wear them under your leggings or over them explicitly for the class. The Chamois (padding) sits right where the leg loops of the harness dig in.

It makes a night and day difference. You can fly longer without any pain.

2. The Outer Layer: High Waisted Leggings

You want fabric between you and the harness. Shorts are a no-go because the straps will rub your bare skin. High-waisted leggings provide a smooth surface for the harness to sit on and protect your lower back.

3. Essential Footwear: Grip Socks

Most bungee studios don't allow shoes because they can damage the mats or hurt others if you accidentally kick them. Go for high-quality grip socks. They give you the traction you need for lunges and squats without the bulk of sneakers.

4. Save Your Knees: Knee Pads

Burpees on a bungee? Yes, they happen. And so do knee drops. A simple pair of dancers' knee pads or volleyball knee pads will save you from bruises and let you commit fully to the movement.

Dress for success and enjoy the flight!
