Sub-par machines (can't even pull the lat pulldown all the way down without it hitting the top of the stack), lackluster selection. Only one squat rack, and full of people doing curls in the squat rack or using it for other nonsense. Heat is too high in the winter.
The staff does personal training and "reserves" machines and/or the ONLY squat rack, which is a huge inconvenience for people looking to get through their routines, on a tight schedule.
They get angry at you for dropping the weights. I'm doing 200kg deadlifts, you're supposed to drop the weight. It's the safest way to perform a deadlift. And speaking of heavy weight....there aren't even enough plates to go around. I have to take all of the plates and "reserve" them in a corner to make sure I have enough weight to make it through my training session. Totally unacceptable.
There isn't even free water. You have to PAY for it....like what? Or you can stop your workout, take off your shoes, and go into the bathroom to fill up your bottle in the bathroom sink....the only water faucet in the entire gym. IT'S A GYM WHY IS THERE NO FREE SOURCE OF WATER???
Overall, can't recommend it at all. It's overpriced for what you get. The cardio machines and 24-hour service are the only good things about this place.
Get rid of the smith machine and put in another squat rack, or just keep it and have three squat racks and I might consider giving you another star.

For those of us with new years resolutions to live more healthily or lose weight or just feel good, it can be hard to find the time to get in a good workout. Especially when managing a busy work and home life. Fitness 24 has opened up in 5 locations across Sapporo, with many more to come.
As the name suggests, they are open 24 hours, have 24 hour security surveillance and are located close by to transportation.
The hard-core fitness enthusiast may be a little disappointed, and for those that appreciate proper gym etiquette e.g. not talking on your phones or hogging equipment for too long.
However, the staff are friendly, the fees are inexpensive and you can go whenever you like.
If you're looking for somewhere to begin that new years resolution, then give Fitness 24 a try ^^
