A new weekend festival is set to help make Hong Kong a healthier, fitter city this  month, as the first ever Hong Kong Fitness + Wellness Expo will be taking over from 18-20 November. Held at AsiaWorld-Expo, this three-day lifestyle extravaganza is set to bring leading gym instructors, big-name wellness brands, and adrenaline-pumping classes to the city.  

With names like Nike and Puma as well as hometown heroes Pherform and Pure Fitness putting their best foot forward at the event, visitors can take their lifestyle to the next level with the expert guidance and top-of-the-line equipment on hand. Journey through the Expo’s several areas to experience a fitness and wellness adventure spanning international sports races, workshops, and social moments with like-minded people.  

Nama-stay a while and improve your yoga with Cathay  

Avid yogis should make a beeline for the Cathay Yoga Stage, where a range of both traditional and unconventional classes take the spotlight, spearheaded by yogic experts at IRIS. Stretch your muscles with Hatha and Vinyasa sessions led by the city’s brightest practitioners, and challenge yourself with Fitness Yoga. Specialised classes designed to deepen your learning are on offer too, with an entire workshop centred on achieving the perfect backbend .   

Just do it at the Fit District  

The Nike Training Club and its leading instructors will have their own fitness home at the expo, where daily classes will be held for any attendee to join in. Get pumped at a weightlifting or bodybuilding session, charge your way through a HIIT workout, or shake it out at a Zumba class - with so many options, there’s every opportunity to try something new.   

Participate in Asia’s first HYROX Race  

This German fitness race is finally making its debut on Asian shores, pushing Hongkongers to the limit as they compete against one another. Part mini-marathon, part circuit workout, the HYROX race sees participants take part in eight 1km runs interspersed with challenging workouts at top speed. Interested in joining? Anybody over the age of 16 can sign up: all you have to do is buy a competitor’s ticket on the site here .   

Stock up on athleisure and wellness treats  

More than 100 fitness and wellness brands will be on offer at the expo, making it the perfect place to stock up on your kit. Upgrade your trainers with kicks from the likes of Lane Eight and Puma, or finally put to rest your old yoga pants with a swish new pair from Caelum Greene. Green Common will also be on hand with a wide range of plant-based meats and earth-friendly groceries, alongside a wide range of homegrown brands.   

Gym Village  

Looking for a future gym buddy or personal trainer? Head to the Gym Village and meet like-minded people, where leading Hong Kong gyms such as Pure Fitness and F45 will join forces to bring their expertise to you. Described as a ‘fitness playground’, a number of talented instructors will be on hand to answer any burning questions you may have about developing the perfect workout routine.  

Earn bonus Asia Miles with fun challenges  

If you’re heading to the Cathay Yoga Stage, don’t forget to drop by our Cathay Wellness Journey booth next door. You can earn miles simply by downloading the Cathay app and starting your wellness journey with our health and wellness tracker, which allows you to earn miles through workouts and self-care. Sign up over the course of the Expo weekend and you’ll earn 1,200 bonus miles just for joining, rather than the usual 100.  

Feeling inspired? If you’d rather get your wellness journey started now, we’ll be running a series of rewarding fitness goals over the next two weeks in which members can earn up to 210 miles a day when they complete challenges. We’ll be rewarding the first 7 members to complete the 4-week challenge with a bonus 7,700 miles each –learn more about it here.
