New F45 - yeah old news, (opened in January) but they're still offering a free two week trial, valid in both locations if you're new to the gym. Sign up through their WeChat: Functional45 after the trial it'll get a bit pricy as Shanghai work outs do, you can check regular pricing in an article we did on their first round of free trials. This one's probably on its way out, though they haven't yet decided on an exact date to pull the promotion.

It's open, and they're offering one free trial "VIP" class that usually costs 300rmb.

News From The Ground
Last Friday, American franchise Anytime Fitness opened its 4,000 location worldwide and they did it in Shanghai with Co-Founder and CEO, Chuck Runyon in the house (guess they're priortizing growth in China). They've got 3 locations in Shanghai, but no doubt they've got plans to spread like an STI on a college campus. Fun fact, people love to tattoo themselves with the Anytime Fitness logo...wonder if we'll start seeing the purple man on bisceps across Shanghai? May the streets bleed purple!
