Now is the time, because now is the time to “never stop fitness”.
With this theme as the theme, we have been holding the event series Lesson in Japan Tour since 2021, bearing the name of Lesson in Japan, the pinnacle of central sports lesson events.As a culmination of this, the Lesson in Japan 2022-2 “UNITE” was held on February 11, 2021.
The aim of this year's Lesson in Japan was to provide an unprecedented fitness experience in which the performances of instructors representing Central Sports fused with many customers across the space - UNITE -.
We delivered three lessons of "SHAPE PUMP", "FIGHT ATTACK" and "AIR CYCLE FITNESS" to clubs and home customers nationwide.We will report on the event created with the customers who participated in the Premium Seat at the distribution venue!
Opening SHAPE PUMP filled with a sense of accomplishment and excitement
Interview with SHAPE PUMP Producer Sakaguchi (GUCCHI)
SHAPE PUMP always has the theme of "unwavering physicality", but this time we wanted to show the audience the physicality of the performers, so we were particular about the production.We also challenged heavy weight to deliver real spirit and heat to our customers!
Each lead performer has their own personality, and it's up to the producer to make the most of it.Which song to use, how to arrange the events, where to set the speed, and who to entrust the lead to... In my head, I imagine the lead that makes use of the performer's personality, the physical fatigue of the customer, and the psychological situation. It is very fun and rewarding to make while doing it.
And the DEMO team who did their best to complete the program structure and the customers who completed it to the end were the best! It was a lot of fun creating the event with all of SHAPE PUMP!
A pleasant load on the body and a sense of fulfillment that visits again and again
The 2021-2022 Lesson in Japan will also start with SHAPE PUMP as before. As the Premium Seat participants were called one by one by name as they entered the venue, the anticipation increased at once, saying, "It's finally starting!"
SHAPE PUMP instructors entered with the opening movie.This time, GUCCHI, GO, FUJII, HINATA, OKKUN, ELLY, RUKA, NOBUKO, KAORI, and JUN will lead with all their soul.
The lesson was filled with excitement as soon as it started.A pleasant load on the body and a sense of fulfillment will come again and again like waves that bounce back.Even if you feel like you're going to get discouraged if you're alone, you can push yourself to the next level by feeling the presence of friends around you.A wonderful space was created by singing along with the music and the lead, and exerting more power than usual.

This time, we created a composition with a completely different atmosphere for the first half stage and the second half stage.In the first half, we focused on creating a sense of unity in the amount of exercise and movement that made people think, "This is FIGHT ATTACK." In the second half, we focused on delivering the fun of martial arts in various ways, such as the battle part and the a la carte part. .
On the day of the event, I performed in front of Premium Seat customers for the first time in a long time, and I was able to reconfirm that it was fun to do an event with the customers in front of me.We moved together, sweated together, laughed together, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
Dripping sweat.soothing heartbeat
FIGHT ATTACK is very popular in Central all over Japan. Lesson in Japan is also a popular program that attracts many applicants.The reason for this is not only that you can do aerobic exercise and incorporate actual martial arts movements, but also that the instructor's individuality makes the content unique to that day.This time, OKKUN, SHIHO, NEGI, TANABEX, AJI, TAKAHIRO, SHIZUKA, YUSAKU, ANDRE, and MIZ, the top level instructors from all over Japan, created FIGHT ATTACK only for today.

Interview with AIR CYCLE FITNESS Producer Honma (RYOZI)
At AIR CYCLE FITNESS, we organize an event every time with the theme of "passing the baton".This UNITE was the last event of the Lesson in Japan Tour, so we aimed to create something that everyone could enjoy "co-creation" with all participating clubs.For the first time, the support staff at each distribution studio was in charge of one song in the event. The DEMO team arranged their rowing styles to create a sense of unity, ran together, and shared the same time together.
I feel that the actual trip was the best because all the customers who participated gave their best. I realized that there is nothing more fun than spending time with friends who like AIR CYCLE FITNESS.I can't wait to have the opportunity to work with you again.
To meet the scenery that opens beyond the rowing
AIR CYCLE FITNESS was the big winner of Lesson in Japan.The target was a 3500m class mountain course.Central's proud instructors, RYOZI, ERI, RYO, SATOMI, NAO, DRAGON, AKIRA, KISHO, U-TA, and HINA, led this difficult challenge.
Sometimes quietly, sometimes violently.The load that changes as it goes up and down on the mountain course.The experience of overcoming a difficult course with friends is like life itself.Pedals to row without mind, sweat flowing, heart rate rising.In order to meet the scenery that opens up after rowing, the participants continued to challenge themselves with the theme of this time, "UNITE", which means fusion.The climax is the final uphill.While increasing the load at once, call and respond to the instructor's shouts to inspire you and reach the goal.The experience of this trip will surely enrich my life in the future.
