I wanted to enquire as to whether or not there are affordable, well equipped gyms (cardio and heavy weights, squat rack, etc.) in a decent sized town like Kyoto, Sendai or Sapporo...what kind of price range are we talking about? Any information about gyms will be appreciated....cheers, D


Gold's and Tipness center are great gyms. a little less than 10,000 yen allows you to work out at any Gold's gym in Japan. Tipness Center is the same cost.

You reckon Gold's wouldn't care about the tatoos either?

Gold's Japan prohibits visible tattoos, let they allow you to work out if you cover them up. I knew a guy who had full sleeve tats at Golds...he just had to wear long-sleeve shirts when he worked out.

I've seen a chick working out who had a visable tattoo! When I joined no one asked me about tattoos. I don't have any. I will look at my contract tonight and see if anything is stated about tattoos and post the information tomorrow.

Yesterday at Gold's, I saw a guy working out with a large tatto on his left arm. I think it was a sun or whatever. So Gold's has no restrictions against tattos.
