Comprehensive Partnership between Tipness and Ichikawa City

In a significant step towards promoting health and wellness, Tipness, a prominent fitness club operating across the Kanto, Kansai, and Tokai regions, has established a comprehensive partnership agreement with Ikikawa City. The agreement aims to enhance the community's quality of life and to strive for the longest healthy lifespan in Japan, known as 'kenko jumyo' (健康寿命). The signing ceremony took place on May 9, 2025, at the Ichikawa City Hall, alongside three other fitness companies, including Konami Sports, THINK Fitness, and Central Sports.

The president of Tipness, Tomohiro Okabe, highlighted the initiative's importance, stating that the collaboration aligns with Tipness's ongoing mission to foster an open and accessible fitness environment under the brand's OPEN TIPNESS program. This initiative is not solely about offering excellent services within the clubs; it extends to cultivating wellness knowledge within the community and encouraging individuals to engage in healthy practices.

The partnership focuses on three main areas:

1. Health Initiatives: This includes promoting preventative measures against lifestyle diseases, enhancing opportunities for sports, and preparing community health programs aimed at overall wellness.

2. Child-Rearing Support: The collaboration will focus on nurturing a healthy mindset and physical well-being for children, facilitating parent-child interactions, and building foundational health and fitness standards for future generations.

3. Disaster Preparedness: The partnership entails cooperation during emergencies, focusing on support for disaster victims, and establishing strategies to assist individuals affected by emergencies, including measures for those unable to return home safely.
