The video quickly went viral online and drew criticism from sections of the public for disciplinary methods described as “cruel” or “inhumane”.

However, Haoheng Fitness, which has eight branches in the city, has been quick to play down the embarrassing company event.

A spokesman surnamed Wang revealed the activities were attended by staff from numerous branches, including those who had not met their gym membership sign-up quotas for two months in a row.

Wang said: “It was part of a team-building exercise. It was a game involving those who hadn’t performed well.

“The company knows that these events are… unhealthy, and we don’t advocate them.

“A meeting was held at senior management level, and it was decided that all future company gatherings would be more positive. 

“They’re forbidden from carrying out any sort of physical punishment.

Another spokesman surnamed Chen, who is head of franchising said the clips were “taken out of context”, saying: “It was a game.”

It is unclear whether the business faces any punishment by labour regulators.
