Joining fitness centres is a great way for teens to improve their physical and mental health, but you do need to make sure they’re in safe hands. From boxing classes at Ursus Fitness and Swish to aerial yoga at Flex, we’ve rounded up the best fitness classes and gyms in Hong Kong for teens!
Looking for ways to fight your teens’ boredom? One way to help them is to get them moving again. Whether or not they are into sports, fitness centres are a great addition to your teen’s schedule. Increase endorphin production (the chemical that makes you happier), provide a much-desired immunity boost, and most importantly, give them something productive to do! That said, not all Hong Kong gyms are open to teens, especially the younger ones, so we’ve rounded up a variety of options that range from Muay Thai to CrossFit and cater to all teens.
