2 drop-in during my vacation in Japan in the Kyoto crossfit center. Great welcome from the owner Russell but also from the members. Russell is a very high quality coach who offers personalized coaching while being attentive to the athlere. I recommande.
When I first arrived in Kyoto to live I was looking for a gym I could sign up to. My Japanese is not completely zero as I have lived in Japan for 2years prior to this. When I visited this establishment I was shown around, but when I asked to signup the manager said NO FOREIGNERS. I explained that I worked for a good company and I had good credit history and bank accounts here in Japan. I even got my company to write them letter explaining in Japanese my expatriate situation and that I was supported a well known company. I was left really disappointed with the attitude towards foreigners and how isolated and unwelcome this made me feel.
