China Daily  

A Supermonkey store is seen in Shanghai. China's fitness market is growing, with at-home weight training facilities gaining popularity and women's sportswear turning into an emerging business category, according to an industry report. China's fitness industry is entering a stage of industrial innovation, with traditional gyms facing cash flow pressures even as new operational models continue to emerge. Simon Wang, CEO of gym platform ClassPass China, said there are now over 2,000 gym venues — including top gyms, group fitness studios, as well as in several five-star hotels — since ClassPass entered the Chinese mainland market in 2019. Zhang Wangjie, vice-general manager of Merach, a Zhejiang-province-based high-end home gym facility provider, said its sales increased by 30 percent year-on-year in 2023, expressing a positive outlook for the online home fitness industry.
