Hong Kong’s Perfit gym reopens another branch previously run by scandal-hit Physical

Another branch of the now-defunct Physical gym chain has reopened in Mong Kok under the new name “Perfit”, with some visiting customers concerned that their previous subscription records could be erased while others took a wait-and-see approach.

The former Physical branch in Hollywood Plaza in Mong Kok reopened as Perfit on Thursday at 10am, with around 30 people entering the gym in the first hour.

A woman in her sixties surnamed Tsoi told the Post she had a few years left in her subscription with Physical and was visiting the new outlet to “ask about the situation”.

“I was sad when [Physical] closed down as going to that gym was a part of my life that I had got used to,” she said.

But she was nonetheless “quite happy” about the reopening of the outlet under a new brand.

“I expect the new owners will ask us to pay more, but I will decide if I want to continue according to my needs and finances,” she added.
