ティップネス東新宿24hours

The staff are friendly and the gym is a clean environment. It’s $3,300 Yen for a day pass but that also includes a sauna as well as hot tub use. I’d return as it’s relatively hard to find gyms that permit day passes. The facilities are also clean.

It was a good gym to go in in a pinch. Price is decent for a drop in. Make sure you reserve the machines you plan on using before you use it or it can make things awkard haha. Staff is great and helpful and purchasing the day pass was quick and efficient. Nothing spectacular about the gym but it does have the basics to allow to get a good workout in.

Kind of a strange experience being an American in a Japanese gym. They have specific rules. You can’t wear shoes in the locker room which is cool. But, if you want to use a specific machine, you have to reserve it and you only have 30 minutes. Being the only American in the gym, we were getting a lot of stares, which is fine. The sauna, I think is really an Onsen. I did not see an actual sauna but I could be mistaken by not observing the whole sauna/Onsen area. Beautiful business park right next to Square Enix.

Nice fitness and wellness facilities with fair prices for tourists for day passes—but be warned, it’s really complicated for foreigners to work out there! There are so many rules, and you have to sign up or reserve a spot for each machine, making it hard to stick to a workout plan. You end up doing whatever is available or waiting 20 minutes in between. It was too complicated for us, so probably no more gyms in Japan for us! 😄

There is not enough machines for gym. It’s only a fitness center for old-guys but staff are really good and help-full.
