FitFam Hong Kong turned one! One year after its first-ever Hong Kong workout at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay, our community has grown to over 1,600 FitFammers across 5 locations on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and Tung Chung thanks to an incredible team of 10 leaders and even more amazing participants.

In honor of this milestone, some of us got together at Big Wave Bay Beach for a potluck BBQ, obnoxiously loud karaoke and, of course, a beach workout.
