ASPHODEL Fitness

Asphodel Fitness & Performance Hong Kong, Auckland NZ • 2017—2025 • asphodel.fit


From its roots as Hong Kong’s first CrossFit affiliate in 2010, Asphodel has evolved into a multi‑location fitness leader. Our agency led brand identity design, illustration, digital marketing, environmental design, merchandise, events, video, and launch activations across all branches—Kennedy Town HQ, Central Annex, Kai Tak Airside—and supported the launch of Asphodel NZ in Auckland. We also fostered a longstanding collaboration with Liv Magazine through print ads and annual contest features.

Our strategic integration of branding, live‑events, video content, youth storytelling, and merch drove strong commercial and community outcomes. The “WOD in Progress” campaign didn't just launch a gym—it reinforced Asphodel’s leadership in fitness and wellbeing across Hong Kong.
