TriFit: A New Way to Get Fit
With new studios popping up left and right, we discovered an interesting one in Changning. TriFit is a brand new studio by Zhongshan Park with a simple but solid offering of fitness classes. They offer a variety of ways to get a workout in, as well as a business model to build a community around fitness.
Their classes are based on 3 zones - Sweat, Strength, and Shape. They have trainers from the US, Canada, and Europe aiming to bring the newest and hippest workouts that are popular in Western countries to Shanghai.
The classes they currently offer include:
Sweat: Tri Body Circuit, Tri Boot Camp
Strength: Tri Box Fit, Tri Ground Force
Shape: Tri Floor Barre, Tri Vinyasa Flow
Kids: Little Warriors Club (Jiu Jit-su for 3-6 Year olds) Little Ballerina (4-6 Year olds)
They don’t offer long-term contract or memberships, but instead customers buy their own workout currency of "FitCoins" and spend them to book classes. Most classes cost 1-3 FitCoins, but all of their classes are just 1 FitCoin during their soft opening until December 10th.
They are also working with several restaurants to host a recurring community-based event, called "The Sweaty Brunch". They host a free workout twice monthly, with a discounted brunch afterward at a local venue. They’ve already done a few with some other gyms, and they make us want to sign up for the next ones stat.
For their soft opening promotion, they are offering ShanghaiWow readers 5 free FitCoins to use in their classes. All you have to do is download and register on the TriFit app, get rewarded 5 Coins, and start sweating. For moms, they’ll also give out one personal training on top of the 5 Coins.
Here’s how to get your free coins:
1. Download the TriFit App
2. Register
3. Book “5 Coin Pack"
4. Get rewarded for 5 Coins
5. Start Sweating!
Address: 6F Beethoven Plaza, 1158 ChangNing Road, near ZhongShan Park Station
