“THE PERSONAL GYM Monzen-nakacho Branch” supports you not only with training, but also with nutrition, sleep habits, and stress management.
Mr. Hagiwara, the owner, takes time to carefully ask about your lifestyle and daily routine.
He is originally from Toyama and worked as a firefighter for several years, where staying fit was part of everyday life. After leaving the job, he wanted to keep that lifestyle and share its value with others, so he moved to Tokyo, worked at several gyms, and eventually opened his own personal training studio.
THE PERSONAL GYM Monzen-nakacho Branch has a spacious training area that can accommodate up to three people at the same time.
I was also impressed by the variety of equipment they have. There are several coaches who can train up to three clients at once, each with their own coach, so it is usually easy to book a time that works for you.
The gym is equipped with a full range of machines to suit your goals, from weight management to strength building.
They offer and carefully explain a wide range of exercises, helping you work on your specific goals while improving overall fitness. They also welcome international clients and treat them just the same as Japanese customers. Training is conducted in Japanese, but they are happy to speak more slowly if needed.
You will receive coaching with close attention to your form.
What really stands out here is how fully tailored it is to your goals and your body. Some people eat a lot and still lose weight, while others eat very little and tend to gain weight. That is why they support you by calculating your ideal calorie intake, sleep hours, and even how many steps you should take each day. You can also stay in touch with your trainer anytime through LINE.
There are changing rooms with lockers, and training wear is available to borrow for free.
You do not need to worry about bringing or buying any equipment. They provide everything you need—including shoes, workout clothes, and water—completely free, so you can just show up and focus on your training.
At the end of each session, every client is offered a protein shake, which is also included in the price. It is freshly prepared on the spot in a mixer while you get changed or relax and chat with your coach after the workout. There are even more than 10 flavors to choose from!
At THE PERSONAL GYM Monzen-nakacho Branch, you also receive personalized nutrition guidance tailored to each individual. This guidance starts with a careful discussion of your lifestyle and food preferences and then suggests an approach that feels realistic and easy to maintain.
Their system keeps clients highly satisfied—since opening, no one has dropped out, and both men and women keep coming regularly.
Mr. Hagiwara hopes to expand across Tokyo in the future so everyone in the city can stay in shape, and it is a great opportunity to give it a try if you live nearby!
