Anytime Fitness Holds 2nd Official Fan Meeting, Passionately Discussing the Admired "Chic Trainee"!

ANYTIME FITNESS, a 24-hour, 365-day fitness gym that is the core business of Fast Fitness Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Kiyoaki Yamabe) and operates directly managed stores nationwide and develops franchises as a domestic master franchisee, held its second official fan meeting, "Fan MEET-UP!", on Thursday, March 26, 2026. In conjunction with this, starting Wednesday, April 1, it will launch a nationwide promotion that has contributed to recent membership growth, marking its first time doing so for the spring season. Aiming for further brand penetration and membership increase for the new lifestyle, it will adopt the new slogan "A spring that begins, a spring that can change." and implement TV commercials and web advertisements.

The 2nd Fan Meeting: Passionately Discussing the "Chic Trainee" – A Wonderful, Cool, and Admired Presence

At the 2nd official fan meeting "Fan MEET-UP!" held on Thursday, March 26, participants engaged in a heated discussion on the main theme of "What is a 'Chic Trainee'?" After exchanging opinions on what constitutes a "wonderful, cool, and admired" presence – someone who not only trains their body but also observes manners and shows consideration for others – the "Chic Trainee Image" was ranked based on scores from all participants.

The top 5 rankings selected this time will be produced as original creative content at a later date and sequentially released on official social media. We will disseminate this "chic fitness culture" to everyone nationwide who could not attend the event.

＜"Fan MEET-UP!" Overview＞

Purpose and Background:

As a pioneer of 24-hour gyms in Japan, Anytime Fitness thoroughly implements "safety, security, cleanliness, and comfort" unique to staffed gyms, and our members utilize our facilities with high literacy. However, with the rapid spread of 24-hour gyms in recent years, there is a growing trend of concerns being raised about user manners across the industry.

As a top brand in 24-hour gyms, we believe it is our responsibility to lead this etiquette awareness campaign and aim to elevate the manners of the Japanese fitness industry to the world's highest standards.

Against this backdrop, this event aims to alleviate the anxieties of those starting their gym journey in the new spring season and support their new challenges by co-creating navigation for existing fans and beginners. Furthermore, by working with fans to solve the issue of improving manners, we also aim to enhance the engagement of existing members.
