Best places: Swimming pools in Minato, Japan

😠 I became a member yesterday. 1,5 hours of procedures and explanations. Today i went to the Spa where one of the cleaning stuff told me that my small tatoo on my breast is a no-go. And guess what! They kicked me out and told me i am not allowed to enter this gym anymore. When I registered they didnt...

👍 Decent cheap option for foreigners looking to work out, just prepare for some rather arbitrary strictness. Using the gym only costs 500 yen, plus you'll need to pay 300 yen to rent indoor shoes; you're not allowed to use any shoes that have been worn outside. Both of these are easily done at the fr...

😠 Coronavirus infection control is formal and inadequate. I only do superficial things such as alcohol disinfection at the entrance and temperature measurement. What is really needed is measures against droplet infection. You know that there are many infections at dinner. Regular aunts talk without...

🫤 The membership fee is more than 30% higher than the market price, but I think that many members are elderly and long-term, so it is well-balanced. An image of a gym for the elderly, a swimming pool facility. I don't think there are any particular problems with the facility, but I think it's a faci...

😠 I understand that Jim's management is difficult due to corona infection, but even if he closes the gym due to a state of emergency, he will not refund anything if he is open for more than 15 days a month. Normally, refunds are made on a daily basis (other sports clubs), but this is the company's po...

🫤 最近高齢男性会員のジムマナーの悪く老人ホーム感が出てきた。 マシン使用後の拭き取りを忘れているのかしなかったり、フリーウェイトゾーンで無茶な重さのウェイトを扱いボッコボコ落としたり。 フタッフがトレーニング中にいちいち挨拶回りするのやめて欲しい、集中が途切れる、生存確認でもしたいのか？

😠 I joined because I wanted to use the pool. I thought I might have a chance to do muscle training, so I decided on the most expensive plan that I could use everything. It was very bad manners for women to bring packs and massagers into the sauna and keep talking even though it was written that they w...

😠 Update December 2023: The sauna has been renovated, but the chatter is still noisy. Instead of relaxing, I'm feeling stressed, and I'm also afraid of getting infected. I will not sign another corporate contract. Women's sauna etiquette is the worst. As others have written, it was more than I expect...

😠 I've been going here for 15 years, and the quality of the members has gotten worse over the years, the changing rooms are getting dirty, the cleaning isn't as thorough due to cuts in labor costs, and fewer staff members seem to be having fun working there. I canceled my membership because I was movi...
