Best for Classes

H-Kore

 

Home to a ‘Megaformer’ machine, which can work more than 600 muscles in just 45 minutes, expect to leave H-Kore feeling strong, stretchy and sweaty! Their unique training methods ensure all your fitness needs are met with over 150 classes to choose from each week across their two convenient locations. Staying fit and healthy has never been easier!

Locations: 3F Emperor Commercial Centre, 39 Des Voeux Road, Central
Suite 1201 Dorset House. Taikoo Place, 979 King’s Road, Quarry Bay

F45

 

You’ve no doubt  heard of this global phenomenon, a fitness community which specializes in innovative, high-intensity group workouts that are fast, fun and results-driven. The F stands for functional training – a mix between circuit and HIIT style workouts which are geared towards everyday movement, and the 45, well you guessed it, it’s the length of the workout (seems doable right?), and the total time you spend sweating!
Fun Fact: Mark Walhberg has invested in F45. If that’s not enough to get you to try it out then we give up!

Various Locations including Sai Ying Pun, Sheung Wan, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Quarry Bay, Wong Chuk Hang and Kwun Tong

Hit45

 

Get fit with HIIT! Another 45 minute workout designed to challenge, burn fat, and get you sweating more than you thought possible. With a mix of treadmill training alongside weights and bodyweight exercises, this workout is one to push the boundaries!

Location: 1/F, Abdoolally House, 20 Stanley Street, Central

LightsOut

 

Combat your stress inside the “Lights Out” boxing studio. An intense 50 minutes of upbeat tunes, boxing, and a total body weights work-out. It’s just you, your gloves and a pretty non-stop workout. It’s also a great way to test your coordination – but don’t worry, like we said the lights are out!

Location: 11/F, The Pemberton, 22-26 Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan

XYZ

 

Escape the intensity of day-to-day life in the XYZ cave. At XYZ they believe in the power of adrenaline to decelerate time, and create conditions where you can release, recharge, regroup and regain control of your life. Their motivating playlists are guaranteed to get your body moving, and they are even available to download on their website!

Location: 2/F New World Tower, 18 Queen’s Road Central, Central

Bounce Limit

 

Who’d have thought a mini-trampoline could provide such amazing results! Bounce Limit is pushing the boundaries with fitness classes and bringing something new and exciting to the table. Depending on the class you choose, you can expect to perform the usual exercises you might be used to in gym classes, with the added twist of performing them on the rebounder. Your joints won’t feel the impact, and your muscles will work overtime to keep stability – win win!

Location: 13/F, The Pemberton, 22-26 Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan

Class Pass

For a little bit of everything, all of the above (with the exception of F45) can be found on Class Pass, a monthly membership to over 30,000 fitness studios worldwide. Monthly credits can be used to book your classes, and with different plan options there’s something for all fitness levels.
