Anytime Fitness Hitotsubashi Gakuen Review｜A Spacious, Easy-to-Miss Gym Tucked Away on the Second Floor

Five minutes on foot from Hitotsubashi-Gakuen Station on the Seibu Tama-ko Line.

The gym is on the second floor of a building that takes a moment to identify from street level.

A spacious interior that runs consistently uncrowded — four Smith machines, three adjustable benches, a water server, and adequate shower and restroom facilities. A public gym in nearby Kodaira Chuo Park offers an alternative for local residents, which may explain the low foot traffic. The surrounding area is quiet with limited commercial activity. On the day of the visit, the walk from Hitotsubashi-Gakuen along the Tamagawa Josui waterway all the way to Yotsuya made for a long but rewarding end to the day.

A spacious, uncrowded gym in a quiet corner of western Tokyo. Easy to overlook, easy to appreciate once found.

Gym Information

Equipment

The gym is equipped with a water server, private shower rooms, private changing rooms, Wi-Fi, and a body composition scale. Bicycle parking (5 spaces, free for two hours) and car parking (16 spaces, free for two hours) are both available, making the location workable by car or by bike. An AED is on site, lockers can be rented when available, and the gym takes part in the free-for-high-school-students program. There is no resident personal trainer, but otherwise the facilities cover the essentials well.

Access

The gym is a five-minute walk from Hitotsubashi Gakuen Station on the Seibu Tamako Line. Both bicycle and car parking offer two free hours, which makes the location convenient for visitors arriving by vehicle as well as on foot.

Facilities & Atmosphere

Tucked away on the second floor of its building, the entrance takes a moment to find on a first visit. Once inside, the size of the space comes as a surprise, and the gym was largely empty during the visit. Equipment includes four Smith machines and three adjustable benches, along with a body composition scale and a water server. There’s little to complain about on the equipment front.

How Busy Does It Get?

Given the generous space and the modest number of visitors at the time, the gym never felt crowded. Waits for machines were essentially nonexistent, making it easy to train at an unhurried pace.

The Surrounding Area

Another Anytime Fitness location sits a short walk away near Kodaira Central Park, so the immediate area alone may not be a strong draw for everyone. The neighborhood itself has a quiet, station-adjacent feel without much in the way of entertainment. This particular visit continued on foot along the Tamagawa Josui canal, all the way to Yotsuya, a route well suited to anyone who enjoys a long walk.

Overall

Tucked away on the second floor and easy to miss at first, the interior turned out to be spacious and largely empty during the visit. The equipment lineup covers the basics well, and the unhurried atmosphere made for a comfortable session.

With another location nearby at Kodaira Central Park, this isn’t necessarily the obvious choice based on proximity alone. For anyone who values a quiet, uncrowded gym, though, it’s a solid option.

The pilgrimage continues.
