The short version. Fitness and health businesses in Hong Kong enter the Asia Best of Best Awards' 75 fitness and health categories. Founders enter the Golden Entrepreneur Awards or the Golden Women Awards; chief executives of multi-site groups the World CEO Awards. Spas and hotel wellness use the spa page. From USD 299; entries close on 15 September 2026.

Hong Kong's fitness industry has lived through the collapse of one large chain and the rise of a hundred small studios, and it has come out competitive: national and regional gym chains in the commercial districts, boutique cycling, yoga, Pilates, HIIT, climbing and combat studios, personal-training businesses, sports-science and physiotherapy clinics serving trail runners and marathoners, nutrition and meal-prep brands, corporate-wellness providers to the finance industry, and fitness-technology companies. The hills and trails give the city an outdoor culture that most dense cities lack.

The Asia Best of Best Awards' 75 fitness and health categories cover all of it at Asia level; founders and executives are recognised through the Golden Entrepreneur, Golden Women and World CEO programmes.

What the jury will ask a fitness business

What do you run, where, for whom? Is it growing, and do members stay? Members or clients, revenue and retention over a defined period, indexed if needed. Does it work? Occupancy, satisfaction, outcomes or performance data. Is it run to standard? Trainer qualifications, safety, hygiene, and — after the industry's prepaid-membership controversies — transparent contracts. What is new? Technology, programmes, corporate contracts, expansion, with dates.
