When it comes to fitness, the best form of exercise is the one you actually do. It’s pointless signing up for a running club or HIIT (high intensity interval training) session when actually you really prefer a more low-intensity class like pilates. You’ll go a few times, then give up on exercising entirely. Instead, pick a workout you’re going to love, and more importantly, that you’ll be able to stick with in the long run. Luckily, Hong Kong has an ever-growing number of gyms and fitness studios offering hundreds of fun and effective fitness classes, ranging from barre and dance-inspired Zumba classes to targeted strength training classes and fat-busting cardio blasts. Whether you’re looking to shift a few pounds, beat your PB or just find something that you’ll actually enjoy, take a look at our selection of the best expert-led classes will help you make fitness a regular habit once and for all.
