Sports Enterprise GYM AESTHETICS, Health Pacer for Athletes and HK Citizens Promoting Sports for All and Advancing AI Health Management
Supporting Mega International Sports Events Including the 10th Hong Kong Masters Athletics Championships
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 November 2025 – As a leading local sports enterprise, GYM AESTHETICS (GA) has been dedicated to investing resources in supporting numerous local and international sports competitions, with a commitment to energizing Hong Kong’s sports development and promoting “health for all”. GA and its group’s sister company, LIVE4WELL, provide health technology support and are taking concrete actions to align with the government’s 2025 Policy Address, which aims to establish Hong Kong as a hub of major international sports events and develop sports as an industry. GA remains at the forefront of local sports events and recently gave its full support to the 10th Hong Kong Masters Athletics Championships (HKMAC). HKMAC continues to grow in scale, encouraging people of all ages to embrace healthy lifestyles and pursue their dreams through sports.
Recently, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has been chosen to establish the city’s third medical school. The school will integrate medical care and research, complementing the government’s vision to turn Hong Kong into an “international health and medical innovation hub” – a goal that is perfectly aligned with the principle of GA and LIVE4WELL in advancing AI preventive healthcare. The group aspires to work closely with the new medical school and relevant government authorities to promote healthy lifestyles for all and empower health management with innovative technology.
Promoting health for all through sports and building a medical innovation hub
GA has long upheld its mission of promoting sports, working to establish a diverse sports ecosystem in Hong Kong and supporting the public in developing regular exercise habits. The group makes its mark across various sports, including hosting the GA110 Hong Kong Inter-School 3×3 Basketball Championship 2025, leading university student athletes to compete in the World University Basketball Series (WUBS) 2025 in Japan, cooperating with European League of Football, actively promoting world-class sports events such as the Hong Kong Tennis Open 2025, as well as supporting sports like pickleball, squash, lacrosse, and judo, showing a comprehensive commitment to sports development. The HKMAC 2025, taking place over two days this weekend, is title sponsored by GYM AESTHETICS, which joins the organizer in celebrating the event’s 10th anniversary.
Ms. Miranda WONG, Managing Director of GYM AESTHETICS and Co-founder of LIVE4WELL, stated, “We deeply resonate with HKMAC 10th Anniversary theme this year, ‘The Celebration of Life’. This event transcends age barriers, offering a competitive platform for sports enthusiasts aged 35 and above, and truly demonstrating the inclusivity and accessibility of sports. We promote both health for all and the development of elite athletes through supporting high-quality sports events like the HKMAC to actively align with the 2025 Policy Address’s vision in establishing Hong Kong as a center for major international sports events and developing sports as an industry, enhancing Hong Kong’s international image as the ‘Events Capital of Asia’. Also, we have shown our unwavering commitment as a sports enterprise in giving back to society, continuously fostering sports for all, and building a healthy lifestyle for everyone.”
HKUST as the third medical school: fostering collaboration in AI health technology
In addition, Hong Kong is actively developing as an international hub for medical training, research, and innovation. HKUST was recently chosen by the government to establish the city’s third medical school, marking a new milestone for local medical development. The HKUST medical school has a clear orientation in integrating research and medical care and fully leveraging its strengths in data science and AI to align with the government’s strategy of positioning Hong Kong as an “international health and medical innovation hub,” showing the city’s forward-looking vision. GA and LIVE4WELL are pleased to see the trend of innovative technology empowering healthcare development, which aligns with our vision of AI health management. The group looks forward to working closely with the new medical school and government authorities to advance AI health management and promote “preventive healthcare” to improve citizens’ health and reduce long term public healthcare expenses.
Nurturing local elite athletes and supporting their career transitions
While advocating for sports for all, GA has also prioritized nurturing local elite athletes, firmly believing that quality equipment, systematic training, and access to high-level competitions are all essential for athlete development. Over recent years, the group has supported major sports events including the ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors, the Hong Kong Districts Tennis Circuit, and the CRC Open, providing young athletes with valuable hands-on experience and a platform for growth.
With GA’s support, numerous local athletes have achieved remarkable success. Former tennis player WONG Hong Kit, Jack has made a successful transition to pickleball, becoming a role model for young athletes pursuing career transformation. Rising tennis talent CHENG Siu Chi, Nicholas, has continued to advance and successfully turned professional this year with the assistance of GA, marking a new milestone in his athletic career. HO Tze Lok, Tomato, currently ranked 30th in the world and Hong Kong’s top full-time squash player, continues to chase her dreams with GA’s support. These successful stories illustrate GA’s long-term commitment to fostering the growth of local athletes and driving the ongoing development of sports talents in Hong Kong.
Looking Ahead: Building a Healthy and Vibrant Hong Kong Together
The group firmly believes that the ultimate goal of sports is to improve our health. As a leading innovative health technology platform in Hong Kong, LIVE4WELL utilizes its AI motion capture technology to provide sports enthusiasts with comprehensive dynamic health assessments and personalized exercise plans, shifting professional health interventions from “treatment” to the “prevention” stage. This approach aligns with initiatives in the 2025 Policy Address, including strengthening primary healthcare and implementing innovative technology. Through technological empowerment and professional support, we are committed to assisting the government in establishing a prevention-oriented primary healthcare ecosystem.
Looking ahead, GA and LIVE4WELL hope to work together with government authorities, including the Health Bureau; Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau; Leisure and Cultural Services Department, and Primary Healthcare Commission, to bring sports technology and preventive care into the community. The group will also continue its commitment to sports development, supporting a diverse range of sports events and contributing to build a robust sports ecosystem in Hong Kong. We hope to collaborate with all sectors of society to drive the growth of Hong Kong’s sports industry, support the government’s vision for sports development, and build a healthier future for citizens.

This year’s forum is an important supporting event of the 18th Cross-Strait Forum. During the event, nine Fujian-Taiwan financial integration projects were signed, with a total value of RMB 9.1 billion. The projects cover a wide range of financial services across areas including cross-strait industrial cooperation, water supply security for public welfare, capacity upgrades for long-established Taiwan-funded enterprises, technology and innovation industries, and modern agriculture. These initiatives continue to unlock the benefits of financial policies, promote shared access to financial resources for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises, and inject new momentum into industrial integration between Fujian and Taiwan.
At the forum, the Cross-Strait Wealth and Asset Management Cross-Sector Alliance was officially inaugurated. Supported by Jinyuan Group and jointly proposed by its affiliated financial institutions, the alliance was co-founded by Xiamen International Trust, Jinyuan Uni-President Securities, Yuanxin Yongfeng Fund, Fubon Bank (China), Junlong Life Insurance, and Xiamen Chang Gung Hospital, among others. Centered on serving the wealth management and asset management needs of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the alliance aims to build a one-stop service platform covering asset allocation for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises on the mainland, family trusts and wealth succession planning, pension finance, and healthcare protection solutions.
The forum also unveiled a series of innovative financial achievements related to Taiwan. The banking industry’s first group standard dedicated to Taiwan-related financial services on the mainland, the “Specification for Taiwan-Related Financial Services of Banking Financial Institutions,” was officially released. At the same time, the “Bailufen” Taiwan Compatriot Financial Service Platform was introduced, further enhancing financial services for Taiwan compatriots living in Fujian and supporting the development of Taiwan-funded enterprises.

Online viewers praised the translation quality, with comments including “The quality of this real-time translation is amazing,” “The translation is incredibly fast,” and “The live speech recognition quality is surprisingly good.” Some viewers assumed the subtitles came from NVIDIA’s official translation team.
The achievement demonstrates how Taiwan’s media industry is adapting to AI-driven transformation. TVBS is positioning itself as a leader in integrating proprietary AI development with real-world broadcast applications. The company completed optimization and deployment of the system in just nine days — a process that traditionally requires months of dedicated training, according to Andy Yang, manager of TVBS AI Future Technology Department.
Yang explained that the biggest challenge in real-time translation lies in balancing “content accuracy” with “reading fluency” under extremely tight time constraints. Huang’s speaking style is highly improvisational and frequently switches between English, Mandarin and Taiwanese, while audience applause and cheering often occur simultaneously.
Applying standard off-the-shelf translation software in such an environment would likely result in sentence segmentation errors and unclear semantic interpretation, Yang said. Rather than pursuing “zero-latency” translation at all costs, TVBS designed a subtitle presentation mechanism specifically tailored to the keynote format.
Prior to the event, the TVBS team conducted extensive cross-platform testing on multiple AI translation models, evaluating latency and error rates. By introducing a carefully calibrated broadcast delay, the system gained additional time to process semantic meaning and contextual alignment. This approach enabled smoother subtitles matching natural Chinese reading habits, Yang said.
The team also built a dedicated knowledge base for NVIDIA GTC Taipei, compiling AI industry terminology, product names and technical keywords in advance. This significantly improved translation quality and the accuracy of professional content delivery. TVBS’s real-time translation system can be customized based on different broadcasting scenarios, Yang noted.
Yang emphasized that the key to the rapid nine-day deployment was cross-department collaboration. Engineering teams handled hardware tuning and signal integration, while internal technical and content teams managed ongoing model training and refinement. TVBS established a collaborative workflow integrating both technology and editorial expertise.
Through continuous iteration and adjustment, the team incorporated Taiwanese linguistic nuances and natural Chinese phrasing into the system. This enhanced fluency and readability beyond what generic AI models alone could achieve, ultimately shaping what Yang called a distinct “TVBS AI style.” The approach reflects the company’s “3T” philosophy — Truth, Trust and Technology.
In his keynote at the Taipei Music Center, Huang focused on AI infrastructure, next-generation computing platforms and NVIDIA’s latest technological roadmap. GTC Taipei 2026 attracted significant international attention as AI continues to reshape global industries. Through its own transformation journey, TVBS hopes to help lead Taiwan’s media industry into a new era shaped by AI.
