Gold's gym

I know it's pretty off-subject to start a blog titled American in a Japanese Company with the first post about signing up at the gym. I am starting the blog during Japan's 5 day Golden Week holiday, and will post something work-related as the work week starts up. I will try to keep the blog fun and educational with a good mix of posts.

Since I'm staying home for most of Golden Week, I decided to sign up at Gold's Gym. I'm not anywhere close to Arnold, but working out was an important part of life at home, so I needed a gym with good facilities and equipment. I was at Wow'd in Shibuya, but after moving, I joined up at Tipness. Tipness was a joke. If you're not accustomed to gyms in Japan, it can be frustrating. Some people stay on one machine/rack for a long time, and don't offer to let you on. I actually saw a guy squat for over an hour on the same rack. What I can say though, is that gyms in Japan are really clean. Don't worry, you won't see oily butt-necked photos of me here.
