Anytime Fitness Higashikurume Review｜Bus-Only Access, but a Relaxed Town with a Mall Gym

Accessible by bus from Higashi-Kurume Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line.

The gym sits inside a shopping complex, and the distance from the nearest station makes independent access the practical choice for most members.

No water server, two adjustable benches, one shoulder press bench, and four Smith machines. For a suburban shopping mall location, the floor feels more compact than expected — the surrounding retail structure limits the sense of space. A faint odor from nearby restroom facilities was noticeable on the floor during the visit, a minor but recurring issue in enclosed mall environments. Bench availability requires monitoring other members, particularly during busier periods. Higashi-Kurume itself has a relaxed, residential feel that suits long-term living.

A gym constrained by its setting more than by its equipment list.

Gym Information

Equipment

The gym offers private shower rooms, private changing rooms, and Wi-Fi. A resident personal trainer is on site, with both bicycle and car parking available. An AED is on hand, lockers can be rented when open, and the gym takes part in the free-for-high-school-students program. There is no water server or body composition scale.

Access

Higashikurume Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line sits some distance away, making the bus from Higashikurume Danchi the practical route in. From the bus stop, it’s about a 5-minute walk.

Facilities & Atmosphere

Located inside a shopping mall, the space felt smaller than expected for a suburban location. Equipment includes two standard benches plus one shoulder press bench, along with four Smith machines.

Being inside a mall, foot traffic is fairly steady, and using the benches sometimes means waiting for an opening or checking in with other members nearby. A faint restroom odor reaching the floor, likely a structural quirk, was a minor downside.

How Busy Does It Get?

Foot traffic is fairly steady given the mall location, and benches occasionally require waiting for an opening.

The Surrounding Area

Higashikurume itself has a relaxed, livable feel. Sitting close to the Saitama border, the area carries a slightly distinct identity within Tokyo.

Overall

The distance from the station means the bus is the practical way in, but the mall location makes it an easy stop while running errands. A bit of bench-sharing and a faint restroom odor are minor drawbacks, but overall this is a relaxed, suburban-feeling gym.

The pilgrimage continues.
