About Us
In the 1980s, when weight training equipment was not yet easily available in Japan, we started by importing the latest training equipment from the USA and selling it to end-users in Japan.
Since then, based on the fitness knowledge we have cultivated through various businesses such as the development of GOLD'S GYM in Japan, machine maintenance for fitness clubs nationwide, and the refurbishing of used fitness machines, we strive to provide ideal products, services, and support for those who are serious about fitness at home.
From traditional brands at the heart of fitness history, such as IVANKO and POWERTEC, to innovative items that are still unknown but will surely be useful to our customers, we offer the best lineup for each era, based on relationships built over 40 years of operating Fitness Shop.
