HK01's Ka-chun Au reported that numerous fitness instructors have criticised the accuracy of Wong's fitness videos. Choosing one video to critique. Au said that the punches she threw in the video did not involve turning her hips and waist so are not how it is done in boxing. Au further criticised Wong's movement that she called "arm chest expansion", which the reporter found "increases the chance of shoulder joint strain" by "failing to maintain stability".<ref name="Au2020-07-02">{{cite news |last=Au |first=Ka-chun 區嘉俊 |date=2 July 2020 |title=減肥健身｜YouTuber健身教學參差 跟隨這名教練修身效果成疑？ |trans-title=Weight loss and fitness｜YouTuber's fitness teaching is uneven.
