    HK Central - Gym Reviews

    Just wanted to check which gyms you would reccommed in Central, HK. I only need basic gym equipment and no classes. Looking for something reasonably priced hopefully less than HKD 500 per month.

    Options are

    - Fitness first
    - California Fitness
    - Physical.

    Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

    First get acquainted with California's sales tactics:-

    then go visit each of the gyms and see which one is most convenient, and which you prefer.

    Find your local Government owned gym. You have to do a course first to use the equipment, but it's dirt cheap and fine if you don't want classes.
    http://www.lcsd.gov.hk/lschemes/rufr/en/index.php for information and here for the locations: http://www.lcsd.gov.hk/lschemes/rufr/en/rooms.php

    You can pay by the hour (HKD 14 per hour) or get a monthly ticket for HKD 180.

    Which branch of Fitness first are you looking at? The one in Sheung Wan is closing at the end of the month.

    Of those choices I've been informed that the physical in central is nicer, emptier and newer than the cali.

    I don't know about fitness first but not sure it'd be within the budget of 500?

    the cali in central/sheung wan is spread across multiple small floors and gets quite crowded... the physical was nice looking though. i chose cali because they have another location near my home as well.
