Anytime Fitness — Attraction in Kyoto

Great Gym Near Kyoto University

This Anytime Fitness location is ideally near Kyoto University, making it a popular choice for students.

One of the standout features of this branch is its spaciousness — it’s one of the largest Anytime Fitness gyms I’ve visited, spread across three floors. However, despite the ample space, there could be more variety in equipment to make better use of the available area (compared to other branches that have machines for isolation exercises).

Gym Layout and Equipment:

First Floor: The first floor is dedicated to strength training and offers a good selection of equipment, including two barbell setups, a Smith machine, leg press, lying leg curl machine, cable machine, and a full rack of dumbbells. Second Floor: This floor is focused on cardio, with treadmills, ellipticals, and stationary bikes. It also features a spacious area for yoga and stretching. Additionally, you'll find the changing rooms and showers on this level. Third Floor: The third floor is another strength training zone, with machines targeting specific muscle groups, such as seated leg press, leg curl, leg extension, hip abduction/adduction, ab machines, chest fly, chest press, pulldown, and dip station. There's also a wide open space for activities like HIIT or pilates.

Best Time to Visit:

Staff and Service:

Additional Amenities:

I am a member here and have been for a few months. Despite the absence of some machines, this is a great facility and conveniently located. The staff were very friendly in processing my application and the gym attendants (part time job workers) were very friendly, despite limited English. I was surprised that I could not pay my gym membership fee at another Anytime Fitness gym while I was away for work, however they accepted my wife to pay on my behalf! Thank you Anytime Fitness...

A gym with top-notch equipment and friendly staffs! The machines and dumbbells are relatively new and are easy to handle. The staffs are always there to help regardless of your needs. Even during the pandemic, ventilation was done right and the machines were cleaned every few hours. Overall a 10/10 gym near...
