Mannings Introduces City-Wide Immersive Wellness Pop-Up "Mannings BoostUP – Your Wellness & Beauty Fiesta" Debuts This April in West Kowloon Cultural District

Reimagining Wellness and Inspiring a New State of Everyday Wellbeing

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 March 2026 - In a fast‑paced city where pressure and information overload are part of daily life, the definition of health has expanded beyond the absence of illness.

For many Hongkongers, health now encompasses sleep quality, emotional balance, appearance confidence, and a sense of connection with others – for a more holistic, lifestyle‑driven state of wellbeing. It is highly individual, yet strengthened through community support.

This April, Mannings is teaming up with Charlz Ng, a Hong Kong–based wellness advocate, brand strategist, and community builder, to bring Wellness from concept to everyday practice through the Mannings BoostUP Fiesta. The wellness & beauty discovery playground pop up will take place on 25–26 April at the West Kowloon Cultural District. Designed as a "Wellness Buffet", Mannings BoostUP blends interactive experiences, mind‑body sessions, community‑driven activities, and a range of complimentary health assessments from the Mannings Professional Health Team. The goal is simple but transformative: to inspire everyone to move beyond reactive health habits and discover their own version of a good state at their own pace, in their own way.

Mannings Redefines Wellness Elevating Everyday Wellbeing

As Hong Kong's leading Health & Beauty retailer with deep roots in the city for over 50 years, Mannings has accompanied generations of customers with authentic products, trusted advice and caring service. In recent years, the Mannings brand has evolved into The Trusted Advisor for Wellness, reflecting a growing public desire for more complete and balanced approach to wellbeing – not just physically, but emotionally, socially, and in everyday confidence. For younger generations in particular, they are looking for wellness that feels fun, relatable and part of real life.

That's why Mannings is stepping outside the store and into the community, creating fresh, lively and varied wellness experiences that are easy to join and enjoyable for all. Through Mannings BoostUP, we are bringing together local wellness experts, movement leaders, and diverse communities to reimagine what Wellness can look and feel like, turning it into a "Wellness Buffet" where everyone can explore and try something new, elevating their holistic wellbeing. From young people to families to anyone curious about feeling better, Mannings BoostUp aims to spark a more vibrant, connected wellness culture across the city.

Alex Liu, Managing Director of Mannings Hong Kong, Macau and China, said: "Today's customers see health as much more than 'pills when you're ill'. They aspire to build a richer, more vibrant life for themselves, nurturing their physical, emotional, appearance and social wellbeing every day. As Hong Kong's Trusted Advisor for Wellness, Mannings is committed to supporting our customers on this journey – through professional expertise, technology and community networks. Mannings BoostUP marks an important milestone in how we re-imagine wellness and embodies our commitment to grow together with the city."

Doreen Cheng, Marketing Director for DFI Retail Group Health & Beauty, North Asia, and H&B Own Brand Power Brand added: "Our customers are increasingly embracing wellness as a holistic, lifestyle‑driven pursuit. Mannings BoostUP is an experiential platform where wellness becomes immersive, uplifting and part of everyday life. Through these experiences, we invite customers to reconnect meaningfully with their complete selves, so that everyone can explore their own version of 'being in good state', at their own pace."

Charlz Ng, Hong Kong–based wellness advocate, brand strategist, community builder and Founder of 120 Collective shared: "At Mannings BoostUP, you don't need to be an athlete or gym enthusiast. We aren't chasing records or keeping score, we're here to help people understand themselves a little better. That's why partnering with Mannings felt natural to us. We share the belief that wellness should be part of daily life, and that everyone should be able to engage with it in their own way. It's about the courage to try something new, the joy of discovery, and the magic that happens when we move together."
