Parents and children are participating today.As a father, I have been in Central for about three years, and my son has been in Central since last year.This is the first time for such a big event.Since it was a great opportunity, I also bought the matching clothes.I love club lessons, but I wonder how I'll feel after doing my best in such a big venue.I'm looking forward to rowing in this overwhelming space!Even so, 3 hours is amazing (laughs).
Participating with club friends Mr. SK (Male in his 60s) Mr. KT (Male in his 40s) Matsumoto store
The event has already been attended more times than I can count.We have been in Central for 15 and 14 years, and are friends from the same club.I love air cycles, so I took a lesson at the Matsumoto store yesterday.No matter how many times we come, rowing together is always fun!
Participating as a couple Sapporo store AS (30s female) SF (30s male)
During the coronavirus pandemic, we didn't have the opportunity to meet everyone like this, so I decided to participate in the event because it was finally revived. The appeal of LIJ is the fun of being able to take lessons from instructors all over the country at once, and being able to enjoy the space with people from various clubs.
Rising heartbeat, growing breathing.A new scenery that spreads ahead as you keep rowing
LIJ4-2022, held at the Sumida Ward General Gymnasium for the first time in four years, started with the EPIC RIDE, where more than 2023 friends from all over the country gathered together. It was a three-hour long show, but the beginning was solemn.It wasn't long before everyone paddled comfortably and slowly, but after the warm-up was over, the challenge of today's goal, Mt. PROMISE, the highest peak in Japan, began.From flat roads to slopes where the load increases steadily.Participants row their bikes as hard as they can.
The three-hour lesson may have broken some people's hearts.However, when I looked around, I could see many of my friends pedaling hard.And the unique instructors will encourage the participants with their heartfelt voices.
The venue was united with many calls and responses, and the voltage reached its climax.Sometimes I was madly in love, and sometimes I felt a sense of solidarity as I continued rowing until I reached the summit of Mt. PROMISE.The superb view seen from there is in the mind of each participant.We made a new promise to work hard for the next year and meet again at LIJ in 2024.

Participant interview
Participating for the first time after discovering the fun of lessons on CSLive MN from Wako store (male, 40s)
I am participating in LIJ for the first time.The reason for this is that I experienced the online lesson CS Live during the corona disaster.I decided to participate because I thought that if online events were this exciting, it would be amazing if we could get together in real life.It's impressive to be able to have an instructor who I've only seen on CS Live give me a lesson in person.
Participation as a reward for myself Ms. YS from Shin-Urayasu store (female in her 40s)
This is my first participation.I bought a special seat to push myself (laughs).Was it a kind of wish that made you want to participate?There was a period of time when I was unable to exercise due to an injury, and I worked hard to participate in LIJ when I was able to return to normal.
So today is the day for that reward.Central is a relationship from 7 years ago when my child was taken care of by kids swimming.My favorite event is of course SHAPE PUMP!
The long-awaited LIJ!Naganuma store MH (woman in her 60s)
I applied for the first time last time in 2020, but it was canceled due to Corona, and I was finally able to participate this time.That's why today I will participate in EPIC RIDE, SHAPE PUMP and FIGHT ATTACK.The atmosphere of this venue is amazing, like a live venue.At the EPIC RIDE I mentioned earlier, I was hesitant at first, but soon I started to give my all and it was exhilarating and pleasant.Above all, speaking out makes me feel better. SHAPE PUMP will also do their best to continue to speak out!
The sweat that drips down is proof of the sense of accomplishment.Today's lesson will completely burn your body and mind!
LIJ Part 2 is SHAPE PUMP, which boasts overwhelming popularity among Central's lesson programs.Immediately after the opening, the voltage at the venue reached its peak.The appeal of SHAPE PUMP is the full-body exercise using weights, but there will be a big call and response even at the beginning of the event.In the heavy weight part, it was impressive to see the participants having fun and doing their best to make sure that their bodies were happy.
A surprise occurs in the second half of the 100-minute lesson!The next FIGHT ATTACK instructors rushed to the main stage.It took about 10 minutes, but everyone was overjoyed at the appearance of the FIGHT ATTACK team.After that, special versions of lessons only for LIJ, such as lessons with only female instructors and lessons using Korean music, were developed, and the time passed quickly.
Above all, the participants felt exhilaration.The sweat dripping from my smile told me more than anything else my sense of accomplishment.

It is a participation of the couple.Today is only FIGHT ATTACK, so I'm betting here to conserve my stamina.The recommended program is, of course, FIGHT ATTACK.You can relieve stress, sweat a lot, and lose weight.This is my 9th year at Central and I have participated in many events.

Take a break and join the battle!Sapporo store SM (female in her 20s)
Today is a public holiday, Tuesday, but I have Monday off and have been in Tokyo since Sunday.I did a lot of sightseeing, but the most fun was LIJ, my first participation.I decided to participate because an instructor from the Sapporo store will be appearing at LIJ.I am participating in all three events today so that I don't have any regrets.I've had a lot of fun with both of the two events so far, but I like FIGH ATTACK the most in my lessons, so I'm really looking forward to it. I'm very happy to be able to speak to an instructor who I've seen on CS Live!
A perfect combination.A new PROMISE that I met after that
The last lesson of LIJ 2022-2023 is FIGHT ATTACK, which is popular in Central all over Japan.Many instructors will appear, from familiar TOP instructors to highly anticipated young people.Therefore, there were many people who prepared their favorite goods and participated.
Like a normal FIGHT ATTACK, it starts with a simple punch and kick combination.Gradually, the pace increased, and by the end of the first half, they had reached complex combinations.
A major feature of FIGHT ATTACK is that it incorporates the movements of actual martial arts.In this LIJ, we focused on the exhilaration of defeating the enemies in front of you.And here again there is a surprise. The SHAPE PUMP instructors rushed to the FIGHT ATTACK lesson just to say thank you.
Of course, the venue was full of excitement.From there, the gear was raised at once, and quite complicated combinations continued, leading to a spectacular finale.When I looked around, it was everyone's smiles that overflowed.In the complete combustion, a new PROMISE was exchanged, "Let's meet again next year."The heart-to-heart connection of the whole venue became even more unshakable.
