Anytime Fitness Machida Review|A Surprisingly Spacious Gym in the Heart of the Shopping District

店舗レビュー

Two minutes from Machida Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line, three minutes from the JR Yokohama Line exit.

The gym occupies the third floor of a commercial building in the middle of a busy shopping district — a setting that might suggest a cramped interior. It does not.

Four adjustable benches available without significant waits, a water server, an InBody body composition scale, and a boulder climbing facility next door for those looking to extend their session. The membership skews local, with fewer international visitors than comparable central Tokyo locations. The overall atmosphere is calm for a city-center gym. Machida itself has a layout similar to Tachikawa and Hachioji — a regional hub with everyday convenience and enough space to feel livable.

A city-center gym that trains quieter than its surroundings suggest.

Access

Served by two lines — the Odakyu Odawara Line and JR Yokohama Line — both with stations within a 3-minute walk. Machida has the same energy as Tachikawa or Hachioji: a compact hub with everything you need close by. Shopping, dining, and transport all converge here, making it easy to build the gym into a wider day out.


Facilities & Atmosphere

Third floor of a commercial building in the middle of the shopping district — not the kind of location you’d expect to find generous floor space. But step inside and the gym opens up considerably.

With 4 benches and 4 Smith/rack stations, the free weights area is well-balanced and rarely contested. The InBody body composition scale is a notable addition — more precise than the standard scales found at most locations. The water server and MAG grip attachments round out a solid equipment lineup.

The machine brand is PRECOR and TORQUE — the same pairing as Tama Center. Smooth, well-maintained, and a step above the standard Life Fitness setup at many other locations.

Next door to the gym is a bouldering facility. For those who want to mix up their training, the combination is hard to beat.


How Busy Does It Get?

Manageable. Despite the central location, the gym doesn’t feel overcrowded. With 4 benches available and a well-distributed layout, waiting was not an issue during the visit.


The Surrounding Area

Machida feels like a smaller, quieter version of Tachikawa. The shopping area is lively without being overwhelming, and there are enough cafes and restaurants to make the post-workout stretch enjoyable. Notably fewer foreign tourists than central Tokyo — the atmosphere is relaxed and local.

On the way back, I considered walking all the way to Yokohama, but the distance turned out to be more than expected, and I ended up taking a bus partway. It was winter, and the cold didn’t help. The streets near the station had a small-scale Harajuku feel to them.


Overall

A shopping district building that hides a genuinely good gym on the third floor. InBody scale, bouldering next door, solid equipment, manageable crowds.

The gap between expectation and reality is what makes this place memorable.

The pilgrimage continues.
