No More Excuses: Hong Kongers Can Now Book a Private Gym Session Anytime
HONG KONG, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine a gym where you never need to wait for equipment, don't feel judged, and can work out any time of the day - even at 2 a.m. That's the experience The Gym Pod is bringing to Hong Kong SAR.
After revolutionizing the fitness scene in Singapore with over 50 smart, private gym pods, The Gym Pod has launched two pods in Hong Kong - and they're already turning heads. These unmanned micro gyms offer an entirely new way to train: private, on-demand, and fully app-controlled.
Privacy Meets Convenience
The Gym Pod was designed for busy, modern city-dwellers who want flexibility, privacy, and a frictionless fitness experience. Each pod is a self-contained gym space, available 24/7 and bookable in seconds through the The Gym Pod mobile app.
Inside, users will find everything they need - free weights, benches, resistance equipment, and even digital screens that guide beginners through workouts. Check out the equipment list and setup to see what's inside each pod.
With sessions starting from just HK$38 per half hour, The Gym Pod is one of the most affordable private fitness options in the city - no contracts, no crowds, just you and your workout. Or users can bring a friend or two and further share the cost.
Breaking the Barriers to Fitness
"We found that many people feel intimidated at traditional gyms, or they simply don't have time for crowded peak hours," says Chris, Co-Founder of The Gym Pod Hong Kong. "We built this for those people - to make fitness as convenient and comfortable as ordering food delivery."
With privacy, affordability, and tech at its core, The Gym Pod has built a loyal following in Singapore. Now, it's ready to empower Hong Kongers to take charge of their fitness journeys.
Expanding Across Hong Kong
The Gym Pod is actively looking for new locations across Hong Kong and is calling on property owners, developers, and mall operators who want to unlock value in underutilized spaces.
"Our pods can go anywhere — rooftops, car parks, clubhouses — all we need is 25 square meters," they add.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mixue, a brand under MIXUE Group (02097.HK), opened its first store in Los Angeles on December 19, marking its debut in the Americas and another step in the group's global expansion strategy.
Located at 6922 Hollywood Blvd Suite 107, the store features Mixue's core menu of ice cream, pure tea, fruit tea, milk tea, and freshly brewed coffee, with customizable sugar levels and toppings. The menu pricing lists the brand's signature ice cream at $1.19, iced lemonade at $1.99, lattes at $2.99, and bubble tea starting at $3.99, with most items priced between $1.19 and $4.99. To mark the opening, Mixue hosted a series of launch activities, including street pop-ups featuring its Snow King mascot, themed photo experiences, and promotional giveaways, attracting strong interest and excitement from local consumers.
Mixue has expanded internationally over several years. The brand opened its first overseas store in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2018, marking its initial step toward global expansion. Today, Mixue operates approximately 4,700 stores outside China across 13 countries, including Australia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. The opening of its first store in the United States further extends the brand's global footprint.
MIXUE Group now operates over 53,000 stores worldwide, making it one of the largest freshly made beverage chains by store count. Its rapid expansion and value-focused model have positioned the group ahead of many established global brands in terms of physical footprint. Reflecting its growing international influence, MIXUE Group was included this year in Time magazine's list of the "100 Most Influential Companies in the World," where it was the only restaurant chain recognized. The listing highlights the increasing presence of Chinese consumer brands on the global stage and MIXUE's expanding role in the international food and beverage market.
"Mixue is actively advancing its global strategy. Given the substantial market potential in the United States, the first store serves as a starting point. Moving forward, the company will steadily expand its store footprint, allowing more local consumers to enjoy high-quality, affordable drinks," the head of Mixue U.S. commented at the opening.
By combining applied product research with foundational ingredient and process development, the Company continuously upgrades its core beverage components while introducing freshly made drinks designed to balance quality and affordability. The brand's supply chain is managed through a digital system that supports end-to-end quality control, from ingredient sourcing and production to warehousing and distribution. This "farm-to-table" approach applies consistent standards at each stage.
Looking ahead, Mixue plans to further expand its presence across the Americas, introducing its value-focused menu to a wider range of consumers. Stores across New York will also begin opening in the coming days. The Company will continue to strengthen its supply chain by expanding sourcing capabilities, improving logistics efficiency, and investing in production capacity and research and development. These efforts are aimed at supporting sustainable growth while maintaining consistent product quality and affordability as Mixue scales in international markets.
