Hi. I'm new to HK and after searching, can't locate a gym in my area. Interested in cardio/pump classes, also yoga, but don't want to pay extortionate fees. I live in Tai Wai (next station to Shatin). Any ideas? Wouldn't mind travelling but anything longer than 15 mins away seems unrealistic. Know there's a lot of threads with gym questions but they don't seem to be in New Territories. Help!

Alexis - There is a gym in Shatin town plaza - 'PHYSICAL'. Its rather big and have different floors (one for just women, other for both men & women) they have loads of classes too.

thanks Mina. I'll go down today and check it out.

physical okay - $600 joining fee plus $299 per month but unfortunately none of my fav courses which are PUMP. Also, blah come ambience.

alexis - sorry to hear that they dont do any of the courses u r looking for. $600 joining fee is quite expensive..i thought they always have promotion!!

Physical is the main one in Sha Tin, there are a couple of local gyms in the area, one in Tai Wai Street. But it is a local place, with hardly anyone speaking English. Your alternative may be California in Mongkok, only 2 stops from Tai Wai.

i've been to California in Mongkok a few times. I find it so annoying that they always try to get extra money out of you by say you need a personal trainer.
