As we look towards marking 20 years of Flex in 2025, we’ve taken some time out to reflect on Flex’s significant milestone, what we’ve achieved and the journey we’ve taken over the last two decades.
Excellence and an aspiration to be the best has always been at the heart of Flex, from the beginning of our journey twenty years ago to where we are today.
While an element of synchronicity was responsible for bringing Flex co-founders Heather Thomas and Anna Serafinas Luk together in Honk Kong in 2005, unity of purpose, an aspiration for excellence and an innate awareness of what the educated fitness elite were looking for ahead of the general curve has been an integral part of the journey.
Heather and Anna’s combined professional skills and experience as well as backgrounds in classical ballet provided the platform and impetus to establish the first Flex studio in Hong Kong’s bustling enclave of Stanley in 2005 with the vision for Flex was a joint Pilates and yoga studio, with services ranging from private training sessions to group classes, to appeal to a wide demographic.
Since 2005, Flex have been pioneers in Hong Kong, shaking up the fitness scene by blending mind body disciplines and making Pilates and yoga accessible to all. For over 20 years, Flex’s been leading the way in offering a diverse range of fitness options, from Pilates and Yoga to Aerial Fitness, Yamuna Body Rolling, Pre and Post Natal classes, and Kids and Teens programs.
Consistently focused on the connection between body and mind, the studio’s popularity quickly took off among Hong Kong’s fitness elite and in 2010 Flex Hong Kong moved to a larger studio on One Island South part of a burgeoning commercial and residential epicentre.
The studio continued to grow, educating and training Hong Kong’s elite practitioners and educators and in 2014 Flex opened our second studio, Central studio at Wyndham Street.
In 2016, Flex made a game changing move, becoming the first studio in Hong Kong to embrace the full Classical Pilates system, including the apparatus, before it was even on the radar! Creating a true Classical Pilates space that’s unlike any other!
With two prime locations in One Island South and Central, we continue to set the standard for fitness in Hong Kong, always ahead of the curve, pushing boundaries, and redefining what’s possible.
In 2018 Flex became Asia’s first host site for REAL Pilates Teacher Training, a huge milestone for its co-founders and a significant opportunity for the region’s aspiring Pilates educators.
Flex’s reputation as the Asia’s Home of Classical Pilates was consolidated over years of dedication and soon grew to become Hong Kong’s largest and most celebrated Classical Pilates studio.
In 2022 Heather officially become the Lead Educator for Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates Teacher training, leading Flex into the elite inner circle of one of the most globally prestigious Classical Pilates Teacher Training programs.
Regional expansion soon followed, with the opening of Flex Studio Singapore on Orchard Road in the spring of 2023, bringing the same gold standard to the Lion City and cementing its position as the region’s leading Pilates practice.
Heather and the Flex team have responded to growing demand for Pilates practice across the broader Asian region with recent, highly successful Flex Classical Pilates Intensives programs in both China and Thailand.
Flex’s offering also encompasses bespoke annual Pilates wellness retreats in some of the world’s most beautiful locations such as the Himalayas to get clients out of the studio and their comfort zones.
As we look towards marking our 20th anniversary, we do so with immense gratitude for our clients and pride in our achievements. The journey of Flex is not just about reaching milestones; it is about fostering a community dedicated to health, wellness, and continuous improvement.
Flex’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and unwavering commitment to excellence. As we celebrate two decades of success, we remain excited about the future possibilities that lie ahead while staying true to our core values that have guided us since day one.
