Introducing the Innovative Glycation Measurement Service at Tipness Fitness Clubs

Tipness Launches Glycation Measurement Service

Tipness Inc., a leading fitness club operator in Japan with locations across the Kanto, Kansai, and Tokai regions, has introduced a pioneering glycation measurement service in August. This service is designed to support individuals in their quest for well-aging—a lifestyle that fosters beautiful and healthy aging. By measuring glycation levels, Tipness aims to quantify youthfulness and beauty, ultimately offering members a valuable tool to manage aging.

What is Glycation?

Glycation is a biological phenomenon where excess sugar binds to proteins, resulting in the production of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), which are known to contribute to aging. Often accompanied by oxidative stress, glycation has garnered significant attention as a major factor in the aging process. Excessive glycation can manifest as skin issues such as blemishes, wrinkles, and dullness, which can lead to an aged appearance and increase the risk of lifestyle-related diseases. The accumulated level of AGEs in the body is referred to as glycation level.

Controlling Aging Through Glycation Measurement

As we enter an age where living to 100 is becoming more common, the desire to remain healthy and youthful has never been more pronounced. Tipness, which has traditionally focused on services promoting overall health and comfort, is now expanding its offerings. The aim is to help members not only lose weight, build muscle, or resolve physical inactivity but also to achieve beauty through weight loss and maintain a youthful appearance.

The newly implemented glycation measurement service at Tipness allows for personalized advice focused on youth and beauty, alongside traditional health assessments. While aging is an unavoidable passage of time, the pace of aging can be controlled through diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits targeted at minimizing AGEs. Through this service, Tipness is set to provide the essential values of looking beautiful and youthful, aligning with the needs of the well-aging niche market.

Three Key Services Offered by Tipness

1. Glycation Level Check (Approx. 5 minutes, Free)
Using specialized equipment, members can check their glycation levels by simply placing a fingertip on the device for about one minute. Results, including their AGEs score and how it compares to average levels for their age group, are provided instantly without prior appointment.

2. Glycation Counseling 30 (30 minutes, ¥1,650)
This session includes an eight-question questionnaire that assesses key factors influencing glycation levels. Utilizing the results from both the glycation level check and the questionnaire, counselors identify lifestyle weaknesses and offer tailored advice on diet and exercise to improve glycation levels.

3. Glycation Counseling 45 (45 minutes, ¥3,300)
A more comprehensive counseling session featuring a detailed questionnaire with 71 questions covering food habits, preferences, and lifestyle choices. The results from this thorough assessment, along with the glycation level check, inform a customized approach aimed at addressing individual lifestyle challenges.
