Private Sports Clubs

There are many private sports clubs in various locations across Sendai. Private gyms are typically more expensive than municipal gymnasiums, but have better facilities. Most private clubs have weight rooms, cardio machines, and aerobics/yoga studios. Many also have pools. Average monthly membership fees are 10,000 yen.

To join a private gym, you will usually have to pay a joining fee, handling fee, plus your first two monthsf membership in cash. This can add up to around 30,000 yen. One way to avoid the expense is to sign up during a campaign period. Many gyms have campaigns waiving the fees for a limited time period, or giving cash-back if a current member refers you. When signing up, as well as paying fees, youfll need proof of ID, such as your Alien Registration card, your hanko, and your bank details for setting up automatic payment.
