These three Hongkongers can help motivate you to stick to your New Year’s fitness resolution
Check in with us over the next 12 weeks for the #TopfitMorning challenge, in collaboration with boutique gym Topfit, and get inspired by a local trio facing familiar struggles to get fitter
Chances are, like a lot of people, your New Year’s resolution was to get in shape. And, like many, you’re struggling towards that goal.
The phenomenon of New Year’s fitness plans falling by the wayside is so common – and predictable – that one international gym chain has announced the date of the so-called “fitness cliff” every year since 2013.
For this year, Tuesday, February 9 was when gym check-ins would drop off. They will never be as high again for the rest of the year, according to proprietary research by the Gold’s Gym chain.
If you’ve found yourself fulfilling that prophecy – the Lunar New Year festivities and feasting surely didn’t help – we’ve got the motivational kick you need to get you back on track.

Today we launch a 12-week fitness challenge called #TopfitMorning in collaboration with boutique gym Topfit, involving three Hongkongers who face familiar struggles: the lack of time, a dearth of motivation, and a love of eating that’s inversely related to exercise.
Each of the three participants will be guided through a structured and progressive exercise regimen by a personal trainer, along with receiving nutritional advice, to achieve their individual goals.
