No excuses: Hong Kong's best livestream gym classes
Jul 20, 2020
Now that Hong Kong gyms and fitness centres are closed for the coming weeks, where can you go to burn off some quick calories? At home, of course! This isn’t our first “lockdown,” after all, and Hong Kong’s fitness community is now well prepared for times like these.
Looking to get your sweat on at home? Here are some of Hong Kong’s best fitness studios offering livestream or on-demand classes – so this time, there are no excuses.
Livestream classes with Pure Fitness and Pure Yoga
Pure Fitness and Pure Yoga has got your back (and your body, as they proudly proclaimed on Instagram) with a full schedule of live workouts including Box HIIT, Blaze at Home, Core, Hatha and Vinyasa. Simply tune into their Instagram account to start streaming (and sweating)!
Psst… you can also download the Pure 360 app (Apple/Android) to access their livestream classes, all of which are available to stream up to 72 hours afterwards.

Xtend Barre with Flex Studio
It turns out you don’t need a ballet studio to enjoy a barre workout – your living room works just fine! Substitute the barre for any chair with a backrest tall enough, and use a water bottle if you don’t own any hand weights. Flex Studio is bringing their livestream classes back, so sign up for an at-home Xtend Barre class to sculpt, strengthen, stretch and repeat.
