To keep up in this town, you need to keep fit! Make a start or kick your existing routine up a notch at one of these awesome gyms and Pilates studios in Hong Kong. Whether youโre looking for group fitness classes or personal training, weโve got you covered!
Iso Fit Pilates classes and Gyrotonic sessions
Welcoming fitness fans since 1998, Iso Fit offers a wide array of Pilates and Gyrotonic sessions to suit all budgets, goals, experience levels and scheduling requirements. Itโs a fully equipped, one-of-a-kind studio thatโs designed to accommodate all these different needs.
According to the Iso Fit team, their approach โaims to preserve the essence and principles of the Pilates and Gyrotonic methodsโ. The formula of having these two unique exercise methods as a focus, combined with the studioโs contemporary style of teaching and environment, has proven extremely successful.
An added feather in the cap for Iso Fit is that itโs one of only a handful of Pilates and Gyrotonic Master Trainer Centres worldwide. Quality instruction is obviously a major focus here, and the trainers are some of the most experienced youโll find in Hong Kong.
They help to create the environment of positive energy that you can feel at the studio too. (There are regular training courses throughout the year, if youโre interested!)
What is Gyrotonic? You may be familiar with Pilates, but if youโve not experienced Gyrotonic, itโs an exercise system that combines ingeniously designed equipment with the key principles of gymnastics, swimming, yoga and dance. Major muscle groups are worked interdependently and in an integrated manner.

EMS Fitness HK โ workouts with a difference
If youโve not heard of EMS, it stands for โElectrical Muscle Stimulationโ โ and thatโs exactly whatโs on offer at EMS Fitness HK in Central. A workout at this studio isnโt like your regular gym session. Instead, it involves state-of-the-art technology from leading German manufacturer Mina Bodytec, which delivers electrical impulses to the muscles via special equipment that you wear.
And the good news is that it can cut your workout time dramatically! In fact, a 20-minute session can be the equivalent of a much longer gym routine. This is because the low-level current causes strong muscle contractions, stimulating more than 90 percent of your muscle fibre at one time. Youโll not only burn as many as 600 calories in one session, but the body will continue to burn those calories for 24 hours after. That makes it ideal for anyone with a busy routine.
EMS Fitness has different packages to suit different needs; all sessions are private and by appointment only, and all equipment is provided.
