ANYTIME FITNESS Atsugi Hayashi Kanagawa, Japan
Anytime Fitness Atsugi Hayashi is one of the largest Anytime Fitness clubs in Japan. It’s also the first in eastern Japan certified as an Official Hammer Strength Training Center (OHSTC) Black Sign facility.
The goal wasn’t just size. It was to become the area’s most chosen club. The team built everything around member needs, from equipment and layout to staff training, to design the full member experience.
How member feedback shaped a top Hammer Strength training floor Built Around Local Needs

“I want to train here because of this equipment.” That motivation helps the club attract new members and keep current ones.
Before opening, our dedicated trainer led staff training on machine use, member guidance, and workout support, backing the club’s people and operations, not just its floor.
A new standard for what the brand can be What the Black Sign Means for Anytime Fitness

01 /05Plate Loaded Pendulum-X Squat
The Plate Loaded Pendulum-X Squat is built for athletes and serious lifters who demand more from their lower-body training. Unlike traditional pendulum squats that limit hip extension and overload the knees, the Pendulum-X drives total-body extension for unmatched power and performance.
Its patent-pending movement dynamically shifts resistance—lighter at the bottom where you’re weakest and heavier at the top where you generate maximum force—creating the perfect strength curve for explosive results. Engineered for elite athletes, this machine builds stronger legs, powerful hips, and next-level performance.
