built for a purpose
ursus in the making
URSUS started with business partners Gary & Santina running outdoor Strongman classes around Lamma Island & Cyberport. After having garnered a dedicated following, the pair decided to start up a permanent gym space in Sai Ying Pun.
URSUS has since expanded its range of classes to offer Boxing & Muay Thai classes.
BUILD. SWEAT. HUSTLE.
OUR VISION

for ursus?
