Upon entry, guests will be encouraged to choose a Hermès accessory like a silk scarf, bracelet or a pair of shoes, to support the sessions they will be participating in. The athletic event will also include a weights rack, barbells, a HermèsFit boxing ring, climbing wall and punching bags, plus a photo booth and a juice bar.
