“BODY SCIENCE Monzen-nakacho Branch,” a personal gym with three locations in Tokyo.
The gym’s unique feature begins by understanding your genetic traits with a DNA test. A saliva sample is taken for analysis. Based on the analysis results, personalized training methods tailored to your body are recommended.
The test also reveals how your body metabolizes carbohydrate, fat, and protein, making it more efficient to create a nutrition plan, especially for knowing what to minimize or increase your intake of. Hiro gives an in-depth explanation of the various kinds of food and their effects on the body.
Workout gear, including socks, shoes, and a towel, is available for rent. After training, you can also use the shower and enjoy a complimentary protein drink.
The socks are very soft, and the shoes are very comfortable. The outfit goes with the gym’s theme and makes the experience more fun. To get your motivation going, they play electronic dance music on quality speakers during the session.
The training options include a 4-month Standard Course (75 minutes per session, twice a week for the first 2 months, then once a week) and a Light Course (60 minutes per session, once a week).
If you have the stamina, you can also opt for a 90-minute session. The main training equipment is the Smith machine, which has various functions that target different body areas. Hiro guides you and corrects your posture throughout the session.
Since muscles follow a repair cycle of 48 to 72 hours, attending twice a week is
recommended.
The rowboat is a fun exercise that’s great for upper body training. Something about it is reminiscent of a children’s playground. There are many things to consider, though, like posture, inhaling and exhaling during every movement, and the positions of the hands and arms.
Most clients are women in their early 30s, but there are also women in their 70s and
those with children are welcome to bring them along.
It can be intimidating to have a male trainer, but Hiro is very friendly and supportive. This squat exercise using weights was not too difficult or too easy—just right.
You can also use the InBody machine to measure your current body data.
This is a high-tech machine that calculates your weight, body fat, and muscle mass just by standing on it while holding the handles and inputting your age and height. It shows lots of details about your body, including a nutrition evaluation! You can monitor your progress by getting this data at each session.
At BODY SCIENCE Monzen-nakacho Branch, you will receive one-on-one training with a personal trainer, allowing you to work at your own pace with peace of mind and confidence.
The experience at Body Science was fun and educational. Hiro provided a lot of good information and friendly support. I also enjoyed their protein drinks, which come in many flavors. The gym’s atmosphere is cozy, personal, and fun.
