Operated by World Fit Co., Ltd., this personal gym emphasizes the importance of fitness and healthy living by offering various experiences, especially during noteworthy community events.

A Hands-On Experience for Everyone

At the Nakano Running Festa, visitors were invited to join free training sessions designed for people of all fitness levels. The gym set up a booth where participants could engage in simple exercises, making fitness more accessible and enjoyable. As a special treat, they offered free samples of BEYOND protein to attendees, allowing many to experience the joys of training firsthand. This initiative aims to remove barriers to fitness and help people appreciate the fun in working out.

Manager's Insight

Miura, the manager of BEYOND Nakano, expressed the gym's desire to build stronger connections with local residents. "In the Nakano area, personal gyms are on the rise, yet opportunities for direct interaction with the community have been minimal. By attending the Nakano Running Festa, we hoped to foster a sense of closeness to fitness among locals. Our easy-to-join training sessions allowed everyone to experience the thrill of movement. We aim to change the perception that personal gyms are intimidating; we want to be seen as approachable and part of the community. We will continue to support our neighbors in building their fitness habits," Miura stated.
