Workout Space
How much space is required for a Wellthon workout?
For the best experience, we recommend 6′ x 6′ floor space and a ceiling height of 8’. Ideally, this should be a space you can use consistently, without interrupting others or being interrupted.
For your safety, your workout area should have a non-slip flooring surface, and a clear view of the TV you’ll use to screencast workouts.
You should also have easy access to water, hand weights or weighted ball, and a sturdy armless chair (for balance or for seated workouts).
