JUNK Brands Big Bang Lite Headband
by JUNK Brands
Getting ready is about containment. Put this on before the warmup to keep sweat out of your eyes during high-BPM climbs so you can focus on the beat, not the burn.
“Stays put no matter how much I sweat. The designs are dope too.”

Loop Experience 2 Earplugs
by Loop
Studio decibels are a weapon and a celebration. Clip these in right before the bass drops. You hear the rhythm perfectly, but protect your ears from that front-row speaker stack.
“Lets me enjoy the loud bass and instructors without my ears ringing afterwards.”

Don't ride in sneakers. The stiff sole transfers every watt of energy to the flywheel, letting you match the instructor's cadence without sliding around.
“Amazing upgrade. Clipping in makes the sprints feel so much more secure.”
