Personal trainer in Tokyo: what it costs and how to choose

If you are looking for a personal trainer in Tokyo, two questions usually come first: what does it cost, and how do you tell before paying whether the setup will work for you?

This article answers both using only what FitSync publishes on its own site, so you can compare it with any other gym you are considering. Prices and conditions below are as of September 2026 and are shown tax included. For the latest details, see the personal training page.

What personal training costs at FitSync

FitSync is a private, appointment-only gym with five locations in central Tokyo: Roppongi, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza and Azabu-Juban. Sessions are also available on-site at your home, office or hotel. There is no registration fee and no monthly fee; you pay per session or per pack, and all prices are tax included. Prices are set per gym. A regular 50-minute session costs ¥15,000 to ¥17,000 tax included, depending on the gym (on-site lessons ¥18,000).

Price list by location (50-minute sessions, tax included)

How a session works

A regular session is 50 minutes. Your first session is a regular 50-minute session, booked as a single visitor session: there is no registration or monthly fee, and you can start with just one session.

Every program is built around your goals, fitness level and experience. Your first session starts with a conversation: your goals, your current fitness level and any exercise experience you have. From there, your trainer selects safe, appropriate exercises, teaches you the technique step by step, and builds a progressive program around you.

The training services are:

• Personal training (one-on-one)
• Strength training
• Strength & conditioning
• Functional fitness
• Weight management support
• Exercise programming
• Athletic performance training

Please note: we do not provide medical treatment or rehabilitation. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or have been advised to limit exercise, please consult your doctor first.

Six things to check before you book

Here are FitSync’s published answers to six practical questions about booking.

1. Can the session be held in English?
Yes. Levente’s personal training sessions are held in English, and you can contact and book with FitSync in English as well.
