Zhang Xinyuan Leads a Thousand Women to Smash a Guinness Record, Putting Pelvic-Floor Health in the Spotlight
In 2025 the Boao Forum for Asia International Conference Center in Hainan hosted an extraordinary spectacle: several thousand women from every corner of China gathered under the guidance of renowned intimacy coach Zhang Xinyuan to attempt the Guinness World Record for“the largest female pelvic-floor exercise class.”The event marked both a personal milestone for Zhang—who has spent 17 years teaching love, sexuality and women’s health—and a public demonstration of how far awareness of women’s wellness has come.
17 Years in the Making: From Spotting Needs to Solving Them
Zhang began her career in the beauty industry, but the parade of “glamorous yet unhappy” clients she met every day convinced her to pivot to intimate health and couple’s education. In 2009 she flew to the United States for systematic study in psychology and human sexuality; on her return she founded Vimi Wellness (Hangzhou Vimi Wellness Health Management Co., Ltd.), dedicated to pelvic-floor fitness, relationship harmony and mind-body balance.
Most people know Zhang as the “love-and-relationship guru” with 5 million social-media followers who dispense daily tips on communication, couple dynamics and female self-growth via short videos and live streams. Few realize that more than a decade ago she was already merging emotional education with physical health, championing a “body-mind unity” approach.
“The body is where all beauty begins,”Zhang likes to say. She argues that many emotional problems are rooted in physical ones—especially post-partum or age-related pelvic-floor laxity, leakage and dryness that erode confidence and intimacy. Her answer is the“Vimi Agile Technique,”a 21-day protocol that combines pelvic-floor drills, nutrition guidance and mood management.
A Thousand Women, One Guinness Bid: Dragging Women’s Health into Daylight
While topics like pelvic-floor training and intimate care are discussed more than before, they still carry a veil of shame. Thousands of sufferers never seek help. That silence inspired Zhang to stage the Guinness attempt.
“I wanted to do something meaningful—not just break a record, but drag women’s health issues into the sunlight and make pelvic-floor fitness a priority,” she explained in a video. “Sexuality is not shameful; health is not shameful. We must learn to love ourselves better.”
On the day, challengers followed Zhang’s commands in perfect unison, creating a spectacular scene. Many participants said it was the first time they had ever exercised pelvic muscles in public. “I felt proud and empowered,” one woman said.
This was not Zhang’s first strike against stigma. In 2022 she moved the Vimi Agile Technique online, streaming live at 5:30 a.m. every day. More than 20,000 women have paid for the course—repurchase and conversion rates far above industry norms. Alumni report not only physical improvements but also better partner rapport and self-image.
Zhang insists pelvic-floor training is as much about mindset and emotion as muscle. She urges women to shift from “pleasing others” to “pleasing themselves” and to heed their own needs. “Be the captain of your own fate.”
Beyond the Guinness bid, Zhang plans free lectures, short-form science videos and offline workshops to spread women’s-health literacy. “We may not change every mind overnight, but we can start with one woman, one family.”
Returning to her label as “intimacy expert,” Zhang still believes great relationships begin with a confident, healthy self. As she tells every class: “Every woman deserves a life that is healthy, vibrant and self-assured.”
