  • GOLD'S GYM: HarajukuTokyo

  • Want to get brutally huge? Show off a set of six-pack abs? Become the next Arnold Schwarzenegger? Then Gold’s Gym in Akihabara is the place for you. One of the many branches of the world renowned gym, this Gold’s is not really different from the rest. This behemoth of a gym is spread out over 3 floors and has every weight machine and free weight you could ever need. They also carry a large supply of supplements and dietary things for your pre, and post workout. The ladies at the front desk spoke enough English to tell me what to do and how much everything was. They took me on the door and passed me off to one of the trainers who spoke English well and was a person who seems to literally live to lift weights. As he gave me the grand tour, he said they have other trainers who can speak both English and Japanese and are always willing to help. The top floor was mainly the desk, store and aerobics equipment, while the lower floors where the weights. They have two studios and a kick boxing studio as well. But what impressed me the most was how they stratified their weights. On the floor below the front desk, they seemed to have most every type of weight machine and free weight I could need, but then he took me downstairs again and said that this was where the serious lifters are. The room was full of all sorts of free weights and some machines and the second studio was here as well. The locker rooms are nice and have a Jacuzzi and all the other amenities you could need. Like most gyms in Japan, they offered different membership plans that try to fit your schedule. The cheapest starting at 8,400 yen and going to 18,900 yen for the most serious members per month. Additionally, they offer a trial period to try the gym out. For anyone who wants to lift weights and have a full exercise, Gold’s is the place to go.
