We met Koji, who is one of the English speaking trainers. He recently moved from Sasebo to Fukuoka and he’s ranked #4 amongst Kyushu top body builders. He says he looks forward to assisting foreigners who join Gold’s Gym.

The gym features 7 kinds of machines, and around 50 in total. There are 11 for back, 7 for chest, 5 for shoulders, 6 for arms, 7 for abs and others. Gold’s is excellent for those who want to use free weights. They currently have weights up to 60 kgs, but will soon get some even heavier ones. There’s also 4 bench presses, 3 power racks, and 1 Smith Machine. In the second basement floor they have a room for martial arts training, sandbags, and weight platforms. Of course there are various cardio machines, locker rooms, sauna, showers, and a shop. This is just a quick rundown of what we noticed – check it out yourself!
