Anytime Fitness Koenji

Nice gym. It’s gets quickly crowded at times but if you avoid peaks you will be ok. The gym is otherwise clean and correctly maintained.

Small overpriced, overcrowded gym with poor selection of aging equipment. Anytime fitness New York- 3500JPY/ month. London 4999JPY/ month Koenji? 8000JPY/month! despite being inferior -Enough space in free weights area for 5 people then its full, which often happens. -1 bench, which there is always a kind of queue for. People often using it for 40 mins, ignoring the 20 min time limit rules -15+ year old treadmills (dont even have a lever to adjust speed/ incline). No rowing machines, no stair climbers etc. Really basic set of old machines they must’ve paid off ages ago -Lot of members with really bad manners and always banging weights, chairs, adjustment bars, always groaning (even if really light weight) -Generally many people take a long time on the machines, often doing nothing just using free wi-fi (which is really slow) or posing in the mirror -Obviously no pool, no separate room for classes -No place to park a bike and location is inconvenient (unless you work out every time you go clothes shopping) -2 shower rooms always have wet floors, there’s no soap etc and cant rent towels. At peak times there's always a queue to use them -Small lockers cost 3000 yen a month so you end up using the free unsecure area for luggage -Gym used to be too busy to quickly use anything from 6pm - 11pm most days. But since many people are remote working and getting fat, it’s busy from 4pm. Impossible to do a workout quick. -You can use other Anytime fitness gyms, but if you use a different gym more than 50% in a month, your membership will change to that gym and your bill will go up (or down). Eg The gym in Nakano is better than Koenji but a bit far if you live in Koenji -Since corona, you are forced to wear a mask all the time. But since the windows are usually closed and aircon circulating the air as is, doubtful a mask helps much. No limit on number of members allowed in at any time. Masks are bearable when doing weights but horrific if you are properly doing cardio. -It’s kinda clean because members have to clean a machine after they’ve used it. They still get dusty on the top of treadmills and I’ve seen (and killed) cockroaches in there multiple times. -The air near the treadmills etc often smells like car exhaust and cigarette smoke. I told staff and they just sprayed Febreze so then I am breathing smokey air that stinks of Febreze! Great when doing cardio! Members of staff have almost no knowledge of training, and most dont look like they have ever exercised. They are there to clean and show new applicants around. If you ask them for help, they will tell you to get a personal trainer.. As a result, many people in there don't know what they're doing. Some ppl look like they’ll give themselves an injury! I can only imagine the good reviews come from people that have never been to a proper gym

It's not wide, but I think the staff are patrolling frequently, paying attention to unmasked people, disinfecting machines, and being well managed. When you enter the store, you will always come out, and there will be calls for temperature measurement and disinfection, and you will always be asked on your way home.

The staff always greet me with a smile and kindly and politely teach me how to use the machine, so I always use it very comfortably.

As I said a few years ago, When you first visit I don't know where to find a toilet or shower If you are looking for a tissue again Suspected by female staff in their 40s I asked, "Where do you put your tissue because you want to bite your nose?" The female staff member said, "What??" I think that he is a person with a bad face When I talk to other staff It is said that there is no tissue to save money. Personally Since then, I no longer want to use it very actively.
