Along the streets of Beijing, flyers advertising newly built gyms are passed into everyone's hands. The prices range from 1,000 RMB to 19,000 RMB a year.
Exercise isn't traditionally part of Chinese culture, barring some aunties square-dancing in the park and a few tai chi practitioners on the sidelines. But that's changing now, with the hashtag "#majia xian" going viral on Weibo, Chinese Twitter.
