Power House Gym Tokyo Japan — Local services in Tokyo

I came here twice for a day pass. Price was 3500 yen plus another 300 for indoor shoe rental. I did not get a cheaper price on the first day like some other people have? The first day the guy behind the desk spoke English, the second time we needed help with Google translate. Lockers are provided.

The gym is pretty nice for getting a good workout in. It has pretty much everything you need. There are no duplicate machines however, so if someone's using what you want you'll have to wait. Most machines are plate loaded - there are only a couple machines with weight stacks. There's one half rack. It's unclear how they feel about heavy deadlifts. There's some padding at the half rack but not a full deadlifting platform.

At 10am on a Thursday and Friday it was not busy. Thursday there were a handful of other people. Half were body builder types with pump covers, the other half were seniors. On Friday there was only one other person there.

Tattoos are not a problem and it does not seem like grunting is discouraged judging by the Ronnie Coleman videos playing. Both things that seem like they are issues at most other gyms.

Overall pretty good gym. My only complaint is that I wish they were open at 9...

Don't get me wrong for those here for a month seems like a great spot, however I have only a week in Tokyo and this is an absolute tourist trap... Who in their right mind is charging 3500 yen... $30 for a day pass is insane they are blatantly taking advantage of foreigners and btw they have a foreigner only 2 week membership that's more than the regular membership at 19000 yen or about $150 USD... Brothers go elsewhere let's not support this kind of avarice. I came from Osaka but even if this is common in Tokyo it is not acceptable, many places in Osaka charge 1000 yen or even 600 yen for a day pass and are bigger...

Powerhouse Tokyo is a great gym.

Coming from a similar power lifting gym (Strong & Shapely in New Jersey, USA) this was a great place to stay pumped while traveling.

It is small compared to the US gyms I am used to, but has pretty much everything you need to get a good workout in.

Be mindful that visitors can only enter during specified times (check the site for exact times) and outdoor shoes can not be worn in the gym. You can rent indoor shoes from them for about 300 yen.

It was about $9 total for a day pass as of the time of this review ($1 = 150 yen)

All in all, a great place to workout,...
