Working out has never been boring at Macao Fitness. This month, sign up for the Infrared Hot Yoga with instructor Viru. It increases flexibility, promotes weight loss and also helps in pain relief and detoxifying sweat. As your body absorbs infrared heat, water molecules begin to vibrate, which causes them to wring out impurities from the cells.

And guess what, you can come for a one-time free trial–just bring your Macau ID for documentation purposes.
