What equipment do I need?

To start, all you really need is a yoga mat and enough room to stretch out on it. That is genuinely enough to begin any program.

You do not need access to a gym, climbing ropes, or other specialized gym equipment.

A pull-up bar is recommended for the pull-up progressions in Dragon Rider Training, but it is not required. The program includes modifications that use household equipment instead.

Gymnastic rings hung from a secure support are another optional alternative. Additional modifications and equipment options are demonstrated inside the program.

From there, each program has its own suggested gear, and you will find a full list inside. Valkyrie Reborn works best with a pair of dumbbells or a kettlebell (though it scales with bodyweight if weights are not in your budget). Some programs include weapon themed movement, which uses a practice weapon as a prop, and there is always a simple household substitute suggested.

You do not need much space for most of it, roughly a yoga mat's worth. The weapon segments are a bit roomier, so many members do that part outside or in a larger space. Plenty of members also travel and just do the bodyweight portions on the go.
