Prices: Add them on WeChat; multi-week packages vary
One of our favorite studios, AFit, has opened a new Jing’an location! Their niche is running multi-week fat loss and body transformation programs, in which their highly trained team guides you through some grueling workouts.
They break the program down week by week, and during the first week you’ll do a fitness test, be taught proper form, and will get detailed nutrition information to help you eat better and see results faster.

In the program you’ll work out three times a week, an hour each time, and can expect workouts like circuit training, interval training, and HIIT. They use almost every piece of equipment you can think of, from kettle bells, resistance bands and medicine balls, to treadmills, boxes for jumping, and dumbbells.
I tried their ‘Christmas Countdown’ program last December, and it was awesome. The groups are small (5-12 people), and the team watches you closely to keep your form correct, all while pushing you to work harder. At the end of the program you do the fitness test again, and it’s really quite remarkable the transformations and increased strength that come out of their programs.
OLab Fitness

Phone: 6219-5266
Prices: RMB 58 for your first class; for group class rates check their WeChat
OLab has opened up their first location in Jing’an, offering a wide range of classes. They bring a “new fitness experience to the community”, combining Muay Thai, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, and other combat classes with functional small group lessons.
The classes and personal education you’ll gain complement each other, and you’ll be guided by fighting experts with a great venue and all the equipment you could need. We haven’t tried their classes yet, but looks like a great and perhaps more affordable option in Jing’an.
