Anytime Fitness Musashino Review｜A Popular Gym Worth the Bus Ride, with Space to Rival Shakujii-Koen

One bus from Mitaka Station on the JR Chuo Line.

The distance from the nearest station is the main obstacle. What waits at the end of the bus ride makes it worthwhile.

An independent building that carries the feel of a repurposed family restaurant — a spacious single floor with a relaxed atmosphere despite the steady membership. No water server, three adjustable benches, four Smith machines, and an equipment range that draws consistent comparison to the Shakujii Koen location. MUFG Park sits directly in front of the building, and the NTT research campus nearby makes for a pleasant post-training loop back toward Mitaka Station.

A gym that rewards the effort of getting there. The bus ride is a small price to pay.

Gym Information

Equipment

The gym offers private shower rooms, private changing rooms, and Wi-Fi. Bicycle and car parking are both available, making it accessible by car or bike. An AED is on site, and lockers are available on a contract basis. The gym is also part of the free-for-high-school-students program. There is no water server, body composition scale, or resident personal trainer.

Access

Getting here means taking a bus from Mitaka Station on the JR Chuo Line, since the gym sits well outside walking distance. It’s a single, straightforward bus ride, so the trip isn’t complicated despite the distance. Car and bicycle parking are both available for those arriving independently.

Facilities & Atmosphere

The building has the look of a former family restaurant. The single-floor layout makes for a genuinely spacious interior, with an atmosphere that recalls the Shakujii-Koen location. Equipment includes three adjustable benches and four Smith machines. The combination of space and equipment makes for a stress-free training environment. There’s no water server, but otherwise there’s little to complain about.

How Busy Does It Get?

This appears to be a popular location, and it was busy during the visit. Even so, the spacious interior keeps things from feeling cramped, and the number of machines is enough that waits rarely become an issue.

The Surrounding Area

MUFG Park sits right in front of the gym, making it a natural spot for a post-workout walk. On this visit, the route looped around the NTT research facility before heading back to Mitaka Station. The distance from the station is real, but the surrounding area is pleasant enough to make the walk worthwhile.

Overall

The distance from the station is the main drawback, but a single bus ride keeps it from being a real obstacle. The spacious interior, likely a converted family restaurant, pairs with a well-equipped machine lineup for a satisfaction level close to that of Shakujii-Koen.

It draws a crowd, which tracks with its apparent popularity, but the space absorbs that crowd without ever feeling tight. The location across from MUFG Park adds a pleasant walk to the experience.

The pilgrimage continues.
