Question about Squash
Hey, I'm interested in trying out playing squash and wondering if you can rent all the equipment at the gym (ball, racquet, goggles).

Thanks for any help!

You have to bring your own racket and ball. Goggles can be borrowed from the front desk.

No you cannot rent rackets or balls.
Though it a really fun and addictive sport. I'd think you'd be hooked, cause it can be quite competitive too.

You really want to start off with the single blue ball. If you bought double yellows, its harder for a beginner to get rallies going and whatnot.
