Hong Kong medical beauty firm perFACE plans to take over Physical gym chain, spokesman says

A Hong Kong aesthetic medicine company has announced plans to take over the recently closed fitness chain Physical, while one former branch of the gym has undergone a second name change, from “Healthy” to “Perfit”.

A spokesman for perFACE said on Friday the medical beauty chain had been interviewing past Physical employees and considering setting up a company to take over the gym business.

“The group is conducting job interviews with former Physical employees, with an aim of retaining talent to offer high-quality and professional fitness and beauty services,” the spokesman said.

The group, perFACE Aesthetic, is formed under a parent company named Fameglow Holdings, which was listed in Hong Kong in 2018.

The medical beauty company announced its role in the gym chain’s operations as the city’s consumer watchdog said it contacted the new investor of Healthy, the rebranded Wan Chai branch of Physical, on Wednesday.
