New fitness concept Palace Studios launches private gym pods in Hong Kong

A new fitness concept hits town this month! Palace Studios touts itself as Hong Kong’s first private on-demand fitness studio, offering individual spaces for personal trainers to meet with private clients in the comfort of state-of-the-art facilities. What’s different about Palace Studios is their tech platform, which makes it easy for clients to book sessions, with contactless entry to the premises via an app. The facilities look decidedly lush, with sleek, well-equipped fitness rooms; elegant and spacious changing rooms; organic skincare Bathe to Basics in the showers; and complimentary protein shakes. Most of all, we love that this is a solution to help Hong Kong’s fitness professionals operate with more ease, especially as so many gyms have closed in the last year.
