This Week in Health and Fitness: Get a Head Start on NY Resolutions With These Fitness Deals

With 2018 fast approaching, most of us will be starting to think about new year's resolutions – join a gym, eat healthily, you know the drill. Rather than waiting until Jan 1, when you're still hungover from New Year's Eve and the thought of going to the gym seems laughable, why not get a head start now (with the added benefit of counteracting some of those holiday season calories)? To give you an incentive, some of Beijing's most popular gyms currently have some great deals on class passes.

Base Fit are offering two-month unlimited memberships for RMB 2,000 (down from RMB 3,200). Classes at Base Fit include box fit, cardio, legs and glutes-focused sessions, core-focused sessions, and more. If you purchase the two-month class package, you will also be in with a chance to win a package holiday to Thailand. They will announce the winner of the competition on Dec 23 at their Christmas Battle, when you can compete in Christmas-themed games to win prizes. 

If you have been planning to try CrossFit or simply want to improve your WODs, then Glo's Level Up programme could be just what you're looking for. According to Glo, "Level Up ... gives you the best benefits of both group and personal training." You'll be assigned a personal coach who will start you out with a fitness assessment and set goals for you, which they will help you track through the duration of your package. If you're completely new, you'll want to take the foundations package (RMB 1,700), which includes four personal training sessions and will give you an introduction to the basics of CrossFit. Other level up packages start from RMB 5,200 for a three-month pass including three PT sessions (i.e. one per month). More info here. 

From now until January 5, B Active are offering special deals on memberships, which can be used across all of their Beijing gyms in Chaowai Soho, Sanlitun, Dongzhimen, and Wudaokou (the latter opening soon). Buy a one-year membership (RMB 3,980) and get one month for free or buy a six-month membership (RMB 2,600) and get two weeks for free.
