Women-Only Small-Group Machine Pilates Studio 'lafimo' Opens Franchise Location in Tsukisamu, Toyohira Ward, Sapporo

Last Wellness Co., Ltd. has entered a franchise agreement with Fujiyasu Sports & Wellness Co., Ltd. to open 'lafimo Tsukisamu,' a women-only, small-group machine pilates studio.

Launched in February 2025, lafimo is a new brand that began as one of the few machine pilates studios offering combined services such as machine pilates, hot yoga, gym access, and spa facilities.

'lafimo Tsukisamu' realizes the integrated 'lafimo' experience by sharing facilities with the fitness club 'Sports Academy Branch Sapporo Tsukisamu GYM24.'
Approximately seven half-tower Pilates machines are installed, enabling small-group machine pilates classes.

Franchise Expansion Initiatives

Last Wellness Co., Ltd. is actively pursuing franchise expansion across many of its owned brands, including lafimo.

The fitness industry continues to face challenges in acquiring new members at some comprehensive facilities, due to rising operational costs that have not fully recovered from the significant impact of the novel coronavirus, as well as the continuous opening of unmanned fitness clubs.

We believe that comprehensive, multi-purpose facilities accessible to everyone from young children to seniors are essential for promoting the health of local communities.
Under the philosophy that fitness clubs must become indispensable health infrastructure for local society, we aim to energize communities and society through fitness clubs, increase participation in fitness clubs, and elevate the status of staff working in the industry.

To this end, we operate company-owned stores with the goal of maximizing the added value of comprehensive facilities.
We franchise the expertise cultivated in these directly operated stores and provide it to comprehensive clubs and 24-hour clubs.

With the opening of the new Tsukisamu location, customers can now access the new machine pilates service 'lafimo' within the 'Sports Academy Branch Sapporo Tsukisamu GYM24' facility. The co-located hot spring and sauna facilities are also available, allowing us to serve a broader range of customers, satisfy more people, and contribute to improving public health.
