Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; President: Akihiro Kosaka, hereinafter 'Tokyo Metro') and FiT Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kyoto City, Kyoto; CEO: Keita Kato, hereinafter 'FiT'), which operates the fitness gym 'LifeFit', have concluded a capital and business alliance agreement. Tokyo Metro will invest 1.5 billion yen in FiT. Through this alliance, we will accelerate the opening of stores along Tokyo Metro lines more than ever before, aiming to create a healthy and livable city.

FiT is a health-tech startup that operates the cutting-edge fitness gym 'LifeFit' as its core business, aiming to solve Japan's social issues such as extending healthy life expectancy and reducing social insurance premiums, with the corporate mission of 'Fitness for everyday life' and aiming for a world where anyone can easily engage in health promotion.
'LifeFit' realizes a new gym operation that combines convenience and quality by combining physical space with IT technology and easy-to-use mechanisms, offering a reasonable fee structure, an easy-to-continue customer experience, and full machine equipment suitable for Japanese people available 24 hours a day. In addition, we aim to revitalize the Japanese health market by conducting a Kenko Point Program that offers rewards based on actions such as LifeFit users' frequency of visits to the gym and fitness data.

Until now, Tokyo Metro and FiT, after signing a franchise agreement in March 2025, opened 'LifeFit Kasai Station' in April 2025, 'LifeFit Kami-Ikebukuro' in September 2025, and 'LifeFit Toyocho' in March 2026, which have been used by many customers.
With this capital and business alliance, we will proceed with store openings mainly in residential areas along Tokyo Metro lines, aiming to expand to 20 stores by the end of FY2027, and to a scale of 50 stores mainly along the lines over a few years. Also, by realizing a strong mid-to-long term partnership between the two companies and conducting multifaceted business collaborations, we will contribute to the health of customers living along the lines.

In addition, to commemorate this capital and business alliance, we will distribute a 30-day free trial coupon that can be used at all LifeFit stores for Tokyo Metro Point Club 'Metpo' members.

Tokyo Metro sympathized with 'Fitness for everyday life' advocated by FiT, which led to the franchise agreement and store expansion by both companies, and this mid-to-long term partnership. We will continue to leverage the strengths of both companies and further promote initiatives aimed at realizing a society where people can casually improve their health.
