For gymnastics you need a leotard or fitted practice wear, and grips once you train on bars. Clubs supply the apparatus and mats, and club teams compete in matching leotards and warmups.

2. Leotard or Fitted Practice Wear
Fitted clothing is a safety rule: loose shirts catch on bars and block a coach's spot.
3. Grips
Bar grips protect your palms from rips once you train on bars. Your coach will tell you when you're ready.

4. Home Mat
A folding mat at home is useful for stretching and basic skills, but practise anything new at the gym with a coach.
