There is a notable increase in the number of women taking up callisthenic exercises compared to those from the masculine s*x.
This is what Aeromix instructor Eilyn has observed.
Sharing her view with Solid Gym's Anthony Lau after her class this afternoon, Eilyn said women are increasingly embracing callisthenics due partly to the availability of a perfect studio - Solid Gym Studio - for the practising of the various aerobic exercises.
"Also, women these days are better exposed to information about the goodness of exercising," she added.
She admitted the bigger turnout for her class today owed largely to the public holiday.

Taking a trip down memory lane...
Nine years ago, Solid Gym's Allen Lee won Gold in a Mr Physique Competition, a Man of Hammer event officiated by Kelvin Lau of SUPP.
It was reported in major newspapers. A relook at this report in the Borneo Post is enough to evoke the feelings of nostalgia in Allen and all fellows of Solid Gym.
This yoga pose that students of instructor Amanda are seen here doing is not those active yoga poses, but the pose isn't the novice can manage.
Amanda says yoga poses are body positions that build strength, flexibility, and focus.
She commends her students who have been following her since the beginning of the year for their proficiency at doing the foundational movements she has taught them.
"There are active postures for them to learn, but I am not in the hurry to teach them,"she reveals, adding that it won't be too far a distance away when she gradually introduces these more sophisticated postures.
It has been six long years since Aeromix instructor Eilyn first started her class at Solid Gym in Year 2020.
However, the class has been active only for about three years. Covic and some personal matters had disrupted class for about three years.
Asked today how her class has fared so far, Eilyn says the turnout is more than satisfactory. "Most of my students are able to cope.
"And, of course, we have room for more students. The more the merrier," she quips.
She assures newcomers of her focus on them until they are able to manage.
Aeromix plus bodypump class is held every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Eilyn says classes on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday will continue to centre on Aeromix plus bodypump, but she plans to have something different for Saturday's class. "I am contemplating the incorporation of a workout that focuses on toughening the core muscles," she says.
The Zumba dance movements Instructor Joyce used to run her class are simple, easy to perform, yet effective in keeping fit, enhancing strength and keeping in shape.
Joyce explains: "Too sophisticated movements may be too taxing for my students who are mostly working ladies popping into my class after a hard day's work."
Joyce says her students are regulars who have already tasted the goodness from her Zumba class.

After her weekly Aeromix class this afternoon, Instructor Eilyn commended her students for their great improvement in their performance, saying they were now more adept in their dance movements and visibly getting much fitter.
She also noted their compatible attire, saying the outfit aligned with the vibe of the occasion.
After a hard day's work, it's time to blow off steam. And that's exactly what these Zumba students of instructor Joyce were doing this evening.
It had proven to be an effective way to release pent-up emotions, such as anxiety and frustration.
The overwhelming turnout for Aeromix plus bodypump workout this afternoon is indeed encouraging to behold.
Credit goes to the instructor, Eilyn, who is committed to her duty towards her students.
