We review Holofit at 4Ward Fitness – for those who want to take the party from the club to the gym

What is it? As if there aren’t enough workout terms in our vernacular, enter Holofit. This is an interactive training system which marries video games with performance trackers to create an interactive workout. 4Ward Fitness in Mong Kok claims to be the only gym in Hong Kong to offer the immersive exercises, so we were intrigued. We opted for the cardio-based “fat-burning” class. The gym also offers Holofit classes for mobility, as well as those focused on the upper body, lower body and full body.

What makes the workout video game-esque are the LED lights. These set out “stations” for each participant which can be switched up for each exercise. The lights act as guidance, telling you where to put your hands and fit as you perform various high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercises, such as lunges and squats.
