Tips

culture

Founded in Shenzhen in 2014, 超级猩猩 disrupted the Chinese gym model by selling individual group classes via smartphone instead of locked-in annual memberships. The 'super gorilla' name plays on the fitness-beast archetype, and its 24-hour shipping-container studios became a Tier-1 city staple.
