Fast Fitness Japan, Inc. operates a studio and gym fitness business and an e-commerce product sales business with a focus on its core Anytime Fitness business for which it is the master franchisee.
Society
If each and every person becomes healthy, society will be healthy as a whole.
Based on this idea, we also focus on activities for people other than the members of our clubs.
Our diverse initiatives target community members who have not had the opportunity to exercise,
people with disabilities and high school students looking for places to exercise.
Initiatives for an Inclusive Society
We are committed to fostering an inclusive society where everyone, regardless of disability or illness, can enjoy physical activity and participate fully in their communities. To help achieve this vision, we support nonprofit organizations through three key areas of focus.
1 – Promoting Sports Participation and Social Inclusion
As an official sponsor of Special Olympics Nippon (SON), we support opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities to participate in sports and engage more actively in society.
2 – Supporting Children Facing Serious Illnesses and Their Families
We partner with the Children’s Cancer Association of Japan (CCAJ) to provide support for children battling cancer and their families, helping them navigate the challenges they face with greater confidence and hope.
3 – Encouraging Understanding of Down Syndrome and Respect for Diversity
We support inclusive community events, including Buddy Walk programs held throughout Japan, that promote understanding of Down syndrome and advance social equality. Through these initiatives, we strive to build a society that embraces diversity and values every individual.
*Examples of Organizations We Support
Special Olympics Nippon (SON), Children’s Cancer Association of Japan (CCAJ), SUPLIFE (Buddy Walk Tokyo), Yokohama Project (Tsunagari Walk), D-Smile TOHOKU (Buddy Walk Sendai), Yoka Walk Organizing Committee, Otera Oyatsu Club, and others (in no particular order).
Sports promotion and health enhancement in cooperation with communities
We believe our mission is to help people become healthy mentally and physically by making fitness gyms available anywhere in Japan at reasonable rates in line with people’s lifestyles and by increasing the number of opportunities for more people to access fitness gyms.
Having established strong cooperative relationships with local communities, we are implementing a variety of initiatives to promote sports and enhance health in many places.
Machine donation initiative
The goal of the project is to donate used machines that were replaced by new machines during club renovations to remote islands, depopulated areas, public facilities and others.
Anytime Fitness replaces machines with the latest models every five to ten years. Most of these used machines still work well.
We think that donating these used machines to people who need them will also help prevent waste.
By donating fitness machines through local governments and educational organizations, we are further increasing the number of opportunities for people to exercise.
■Recipients of the donations (in random order)
Zamami, Okinawa; China, Kagoshima; Wadomari, Kagoshima; Himeshima, Oita; Hamamatsu, Shizuoka; Nozawaonsen, Nagano: YOKOHAMA National University; Daito Bunka University; Hitotsubashi University; Tokyo Metropolitan West High School
High School Pass (free admission program for high school students)
While many fitness gyms restrict access by high school students, we believe exercise is necessary for or healthy physical and mental development.
Precisely because they are going through such a sensitive stage in life, we would like to provide them with plenty of opportunities to be physically active in a safe and supportive environment.
For this reason, we have introduced program that enables high school students to use our facilities without charge if their guardian is a member of Anytime Fitness.
We aim to be a healthier place where high school students can become mentally and physically healthy.
