Wu Meng Qian explained that they have a weekly schedule of group classes which she arranges. She also likes to offer yoga in their regular classes, since practicing yoga helped her personal recovery after childbirth, and she hopes it will help other women. Many types of yoga are offered in their gyms, such as Ashtanga, flow yoga, Yin yoga, Lyengar Yoga, and physiotherapy yoga.

The gyms also offer specialty services for slightly obese and overweight people. The coaching is different for each person, so when they come, they first do physical tests. The coaches then focus on personal treatment, and design a special plan for each individual in a one-on-one meeting.

Ai Dong Li Fitness annual membership costs 4,888 RMB, and because this price is quite low, about 400 RMB per month, they don’t have a group discount. They also offer an option of 10 or 20 lessons, with usage controlled through a bracelet; with this bracelet, members can try out the group classes they want to experience, and then upgrade later if they wish to do so.

There is also a 8,888 RMB annual membership fee that includes all types of group classes and free parking. The packages of 4,888 RMB and 8,888 RMB also include coaching for specific needs, and this is usually done though small group lessons.
