ZEAL BOXING FITNESS Demachiyanagi Opens in Kyoto
On August 23, 2025, ZEAL BOXING FITNESS will proudly unveil its 27th franchise location at Demachiyanagi, Kyoto, under the management of ZEAL Co., Ltd., which is headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. This opening follows a pre-opening event from August 9 to August 22, offering complimentary trial lessons for visitors to experience the atmosphere and facilities before the official opening.
Nestled in the historic Yoshida Nakadachi neighborhood, near the iconic Kyoto University and charming residential areas, the new gym is designed to serve both students and locals. Within a 9-minute walk from Demachiyanagi Station, members can enjoy the nearby tranquility of the Kamo River and its scenic views throughout the seasons. This location aims to provide a refreshing workout experience that incorporates movement into daily life, allowing patrons to rejuvenate their mind and body in a truly Kyoto-esque environment.
Exciting and Accessible Fitness Programs
At ZEAL BOXING FITNESS, members can kick off their workouts with 30-minute classes, tailored to fit seamlessly into busy schedules. The gym offers convenient rental services for workout attire, gloves, and towels, making it easy for individuals to drop by on their way home from work, after shopping, or even during breaks from classes. The all-you-can-attend plans encourage sustainability in fitness routines at a comfortable pace, naturally fostering healthier habits.
Innovative IoT Training Experiences
As a pioneer in Japan, the facility will feature IoT-enabled punching bags that visualize punch counts, calories burned, and punch strength in real-time. This unique technology provides an inspiring and engaging workout experience, allowing members to witness their progress and enjoy the thrill of real-time feedback on their efforts.
A Warm Community Space Beyond a Gym
ZEAL BOXING FITNESS is more than just a place for physical activity. The gym fosters a welcoming community where conversations before and after classes, sharing local news, and socializing among members are just as important as the workouts themselves. The objective is to create a friendly and warm atmosphere—a space where visitors feel energized and motivated to return. The gym aspires to be a place where connections naturally flourish, encouraging social interaction and camaraderie among its members.
Entrust your fitness journey to our dedicated trainers, who prioritize personal connections and adapt their guidance based on each member's age, experience, and lifestyle. They pay close attention to daily progress, supporting both physical and mental wellbeing, as they help transform exercise from a challenging task into an enjoyable part of life. ZEAL BOXING FITNESS aims to be an integral part of the community, promoting fitness as a fun and comprehensive daily activity.
Owner's Commentary on the New Location
The decision to open the gym just three minutes away from the popular walking spot along the Kamo River was influenced by the area's natural beauty and community spirit. I hope to invite people to visit us casually, as a pleasant addition to their daily strolls. Experiencing the fun side of boxing fitness was a significant motivation for launching this gym—we believe in making exercise enjoyable, not just a chore.
Our state-of-the-art facilities and engaging classes emphasize not just physical health but also brain activation, promoting a holistic approach to well-being. The interactive IoT one-on-one training sessions let our members visualize their progress, sparking motivation and joy in each punch.
ZEAL BOXING FITNESS uniquely combines aerobic activity with cognitive benefits, making it a fitness center we believe everyone should get to know. We extend a warm invitation for individuals to visit us for a trial experience!
