Jackie Chan and California Fitness have truly become the dynamic duo of the Asian fitness scene, offering “A New View of Fitness” at the grand opening of Asia’s biggest California Fitness-Jackie Chan Sport Club, MegaBox today.
Located on the 18th floor of MegaBox with a magnificent view of the Victoria harbour, California Fitness-Jackie Chan Sport Club, the 10th California Fitness club in Hong Kong, expands the horizons of fitness with Hong Kong’s first-ever fitness club outdoor training area. In addition, the 25 metre outdoor heated swimming pool plus outdoor running track and dedicated Personal Training area takes fitness club to a new level.

Comprehensive amenities include a Group X studio, an indoor cycling studio, a full range of gleaming international standard equipment and sauna and steam facilities.
Steve Clinefelter, President of California Fitness said “California Fitness and Jackie Chan share the same vision of living better through health and fitness. By launching Asia’s biggest California Fitness-Jackie Chan Sport Club in Hong Kong, we have been actively encouraging everyone to experience the life-changing benefits of exercise, and to enjoy life to the fullest. This club epitomizes the energy and passion of Jackie Chan and will definitely serve as a great motivation for our members in aspiring to fitness and a healthy lifestyle,” Mr. Clinefelter said.
“As an Olympic ambassador, and as Hong Kong gets ready to host the Olympic torch relay, I am particularly pleased to officiate the grand opening of the biggest California Fitness-Jackie Chan Sport Club,” said Jackie Chan. “This ‘New View of Fitness’ will help more people in Hong Kong to pursue the Olympic ideal of ‘swifter, higher, stronger,’ in their own personal way through fitness,” Chan added.
A highlight of the opening activities was Jackie Chan in action himself leading over 150 people to practise JC Boxercise.
