On October 19, 2026, Fast Fitness Japan reported that its Anytime Fitness franchise has surpassed 1,300 locations in Japan following the opening of the Tokaichiba branch in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. The fitness chain, which has expanded to cover all 47 prefectures since 2020, reported serving over 1.2 million members as of July 2026.

This milestone follows the brand’s domestic history beginning with its first branch in Chofu, Tokyo, in October 2010. To mark the achievement, the company launched a social media campaign titled ‘Actually, It’s Close! Anytime Fitness Compatibility Diagnosis.’ Through a dedicated website, participants can measure the distance and walking time to their nearest gym and share results on X (formerly Twitter) for a chance to win Amazon gift cards.
