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.
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
Support of NPOs
We support several NPOs, such as Special Olympics Nippon which promotes the participation of people with intellectual disabilities in society through sports with the view toward realizing a society in which people can enjoy exercise together regardless of ability, the Children’s Cancer Association of Japan which supports children with cancer, and the executive committees of Buddy Walk in various regions which increase people’s understanding and acceptance of Down syndrome and promote social equality.

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.
