“We are happy to present the third edition of FWE,” explained Charlz Ng, Co-Founder of Hybrid Group. “It has now become one of the most anticipated events for fitness lovers. Not only did we bring HYROX to Hong Kong, we also lined up a diverse selection of classes for people of all fitness levels, hoping to make exercise fun and approachable to more.”
Sixty-nine-year-old Catherine Chow, a participant in the event, said, "I've engaged in running for a decade but found it challenging to enhance my speed. Consequently, I initiated body training. Eventually, I sought to push my limits by attempting HYROX. It proved to be a genuinely invigorating experience, fostering a sense of camaraderie as you strive for a common goal with a group of young individuals and soak in their vibrant energy."
