Internet reshaping fitness industry

Exercise spaces more accessible, affordable and customized

The omnipresent internet is reshaping the fitness industry and pushing it to become more accessible, affordable and customized.

In Beijing's buzzing Sanlitun business district alone, more than a dozen gyms - specializing in everything from spinning to yoga to boxing - can be found along a stretch of road only two blocks long. In their midst, few might notice the most specialized club of all - an orange cubelike gym with its lights on 24/7, and almost no staff to be seen.
