hi guys, i know i will probably be judged for this, but do you know what will actually happen if i let my bf use my gym membership instead of me(use my chip)/come inside with me, strictly in non-staff hours? like what’s the worst that could happen – a fee, or them cancelling my contract? the thing is he’s gonna be here for a short period of time, but cannot sign up legally without a japanese form of id, so his only option is paying 3500+ yen for single daily visits in gyms that are faaaar away from our location, making it totally not worth it. you think it will be fine?

If you tailgate (2 people in on the same keyfob) they’ll have Secom remotely check the feed.
If you give him the fob and he goes in solo, the facial recognition will flag him.
In both cases, your membership would be terminated.
It will not be fine and you’ll be looking for a new gym.
Unless you want to face a fine and most definitely a gym termination. Tell him to go run for 2 weeks. 😆
It would have been doable back in like 2014, but it’s more complex now.
Perhaps it’s a good time for him to work on calisthenics?
Is there no city sponsored gyms in your area? I can’t imagine paying more than 500¥ for a single visit
I mean they explain what will happen if you do this when you sign up
And you can 100% sign up without a Japanese ID
Are you dumb? They have cameras and check who comes in and out.
Just go work out in the park. I’m sure he’ll survive bro.
Why can’t he use the local public gyms for a few hundred yen each time?
your membership will get terminated.
tell him to go find a local city gym to exercise.. those are dirt cheap the one near me is 300 yen per entry
is there a joyfit nearby? their website says you can use a passport to sign up.
It’s fine. Tell them I said so.
Have him wear a face mask. Then when he piggybacks in…turn around and pretend to make a fuss like you dint know him. Have him bow repentance. Then go do separate workouts in case they remotely watch you during your stay. That way if they ask you can say you don’t know him.
