I’m going to language school in April and want to continue my fitness regiment. I’m just curious as to what it would be like in japan. Are gyms crowded? Are there a lot of gyms? Do gyms require long term contracts? Is lifting a big thing at gyms or is it mostly cardio? Is it common to run outdoors? Are there a lot of people that run? Should I use a treadmill in a gym instead of outdoors? Stuff like that
I’ll be staying in tokyo

I workout at home so I can’t say much regarding gyms. Living in semi-rural area though, it is common to see people running outside during daytime. I was shocked by how many older people I saw running outside too, something I’ve never seen my home country.
For the short months I did live in Tokyo however, I would see most outdoor runners, running in parks or around the parks. Although a few in the city areas itself, it was a rarer sight.
