Gym in Hamamatsu

[GazzaMcB]

Hello. I am moving to Hamamatsu in January, and I hoping to find a gym with a reasonable amount of weight training equipment there. Does anyone know if there are any good gyms around the area? If not, does anyone know of any decent sports equipment stores (not necessarily in Hamamatsu) where I could buy some weights? Thanks for the help

There seem to be many gyms.
Because I do not live in Shizuoka, I do not know which gym is good.

Hamamatsu is a big city so it shouldn't be a problem. If you are serious about it, you could always go to nearby Nagoya and I am for sure that you can find what you want. More people in Japan are into bodybuilding as one would expect...

I used to live in Nagoya and have been to Hamamatsu, Numazu, Shizukoa, etc. for business. Lovely area, the Izu peninsula is superb btw. I am sure you will enjoy it there.

Monthly gym memberships in general pretty much anywhere in Japan are steep unless you can find the exception to the rule (at least in my experience). Depending on your workout needs/ regimen you might be better off buying new/used equipment and putting your own home gym together piecemeal.

That's what I did, and I was able to find some good bargains for less than the costs of a full-year's membership at the local gym in my area. Anyways, not very specific advice I know but just keep your options open and don't sign up at the first gym you find. 8-p

Thank you Iron Chef. Yeah I will try and check out quite a few gyms, and see which is the best value for money. As for getting my own stuff, is it quite easy to find weights equipment? The main thing is a bench, a barbell and weights really. Any suggestions on where to check out? Thanks mate
