Anmeldelser
I am currently in Japan and working out in this gym. The gym is very clean and have a great, solid equipment. Everything you gonna need for your trip to Japan. Inside is a vending Maschine for your cold drinks as well. I bought the one week pass. Only the registration for first time users is a little bit elaborate since you have to register yourself, wait for the emails, download the app to open the door. In my case I didn’t receive the mail for the app and I had to download the line-App to communicate with the owner. Overall it took me a good hour before I got access. I must say tho, once the owner did reply, everything was handled very fast and on a personal level. He answered within seconds minutes. In case of emergency’s there was no stuff around. I didn’t mind that. Overall a good and clean gym I really appreciate.
Gym sign up is as difficult as other reviews say, especially if you cannot read Japanese and not tech savvy. However, once you get past it, the gym is worth it. The gym isn't crowded like Plus Fitness, and you can get longer term passes (Plus Fitness only sold day passes which you can only buy at staffed times 10am onwards). Pros: gym is super clean and well equipped. Not overcrowded (probably due to sign up process). 24 hour access; weekly ($10k) and monthly ($15k) passes available. Downside: the sign up process. Tips: 1. Register on the healthgym (link provided by the shop (set your browser to translate). 2. Then, download the Akerun app and register with the same email. 3. On the healthgym site, pick the date you want to go. Register it. 4. It then appears on the Akerun site so you can open the gym door. Do this for each day you want to go. There's more to it but going back and forth on the site and Akerun initially confusd me. A real mission but after conquered the sign up, it suited me perfectly being in Tokyo for 2 weeks. I could attend in the early mornings (without waiting for staffed times like the other gyms).
