■ Balancing "convenience" and "specialization" to support the lives of women in Kobe Nishi-ku
The new "LOIVE Nishi-Kobe" studio is located within the locally popular "Izumiya Shopping Center Nishi-Kobe." Leveraging its location within a commercial facility with ample parking, it realizes "fitness along the daily routine" where women can stop by between shopping or household chores. It provides an environment where busy modern women can make exercise a habit without the burden of travel.
■ Hot Yoga × Machine Pilates. A new style with "two brands side-by-side" to choose from based on your mood
The same building also houses "pilates K," a popular women-only machine Pilates studio.
[Key Point]
Members can choose between refreshing with hot yoga to sweat thoroughly or shaping their body with machine Pilates, depending on their mood, physical condition, and daily goals (*separate application for mutual use plan is required). This will be a rare spot in the region where both the latest fitness trends can be experienced in one place.
■ Background of opening in Kobe Nishi-ku
Due to the recent increase in self-care awareness, there is a growing interest in hybrid approaches that combine not only single forms of exercise but also 'yoga' to improve flexibility and 'Pilates' to strengthen the core.
Through this opening, our company will contribute to the maintenance of physical and mental health of women in the Nishi-Kobe area and the formation of communities.
■ Thoroughly female-centric space design
All staff at "LOIVE" are women. From program development to studio design, everything is built to support the time when "I fall in love with myself."
Abundant programs: A variety of lessons enjoyable for beginners to experienced practitioners.
No need to bring anything: Rental wear and towels are fully equipped, so you can visit before or after shopping with peace of mind.
Safe environment: A clean space where women can face themselves, with thorough hygiene management.
Environment considerate of first-timers: Free trial experience (*advance reservation required) and complete rental wear lower the barrier to starting exercise and create an environment that is easy to continue.
