The Glycation Measurement Media Experience Hosted by Tipness

On January 23, 2026, Tipness, a leading fitness club in Tokyo, held a groundbreaking media experience event focused on glycation measurement at their Gotanda location. This event showcased non-invasive and time-efficient methods to assess glycation levels, along with counseling based on the results and demonstrations of exercises aimed at reducing glycation damage.

In recent years, the concern over glycation—an essential factor contributing to aging—has surged. Tipness has proactively introduced glycation measurement services across all its locations, evolving their role from merely a platform for physical fitness and body shape management to a comprehensive 'well-aging hub' supporting the visibility and prevention of aging risks.

Innovative Glycation Measurement

During the event, a specialized device was used to measure participants' levels of AGEs (Advanced Glycation End-products) simply by placing a fingertip on it. Attendees had the opportunity to gauge their glycation levels in real-time, which opened up discussions on how glycation correlates with perceived age and health risks.

Alongside this measurement, explanations about the mechanisms of glycation and its contributing factors were provided, including insights on exercise and lifestyle changes to inhibit glycation. A demonstration of their 'Ageless Mobi' class highlighted the club's commitment to innovative approaches in combating glycation-related issues.

Supporting Behavioral Changes Through Counseling

In addition to the glycation measurement, participants received a detailed analysis report based on their body composition, grip strength, blood pressure, and pre-event questionnaires. This personalized consultation allowed for specific advice on enhancing lifestyle habits to minimize glycation levels.

Tipness offers a unique all-in-one approach within their facilities, where members can undergo measurement, analysis, personalized advice, and even practical exercise implementations—a distinct feature of a comprehensive fitness club.

Transitioning Gyms into Anti-Aging Havens

As society transitions into an era where people live longer, fitness clubs are expected to support not just exercise routines but also a holistic review of lifestyle habits that promote well-aging.

Tipness aims to redefine health and fitness by measuring not only 'health' and 'fitness' but also 'youthfulness' and 'beauty' in quantifiable terms, striving to control the aging process effectively. Through innovative initiatives like glycation measurement services, they are dedicated to promoting and providing a culture of healthy and comfortable living.
