Renaissance Fukushima 24

Initial Tennis Class Placement Despite repeated requests, I started at the beginner level. As expected, the skill gap with those around me was discouraging. I ended up paying extra fees for changing lessons and a two-month commitment, wasting even more money on top of the already high membership fee. I switched from soft tennis and only recently started playing hard tennis. I can't push myself too hard during practice with friends, so I wanted to take lessons to receive powerful shots from skilled players, but it was a complete miscalculation. It's stressful having to be considerate of older people, just like at work, even though I'm paying for it. However, the coaches are all very kind, friendly, and nice people. I don't get tired at all, so I swim for 30 minutes in the pool after tennis, which is quite enjoyable, hence the 3 stars.

The gym building itself is small and the overall layout is cramped, which can lead to close proximity between instructors and users, and among users themselves, creating a somewhat tense atmosphere. The tennis and swimming areas seem geared more towards serious athletes, and might not be suitable for children who simply want to start exercising for fun. I also felt that there weren't many instructors who were particularly good at handling children. On the other hand, the gym area has a generally relaxed atmosphere, depending on the time of day. Those who want to train intensely and get drenched in sweat might find it a little uncomfortable. You might feel out of place, or even be viewed negatively in some cases. In summary, it's a good gym for those whose goals and enthusiasm align with the gym's, but it might not be suitable for those who want their children to attend as a fun extracurricular activity or for those who want to train seriously.

Yesterday around 9 PM, I went to the Fukushima branch and was surprised to find the changing room hotter and more humid than outside. The thermometer read 27 degrees Celsius and 75% humidity. I'd like to ask the facility manager what the set temperature is. I've been to about three gyms in the city, but this gym environment is the worst. Also, after the studio session ends, several people occupy the small stretching space and chat for a long time. Shouldn't the staff be doing something about this? The gym area has also been crowded recently. I want to cool down after my bath before going home. I've proposed various plans to attract members, but I strongly request improvements to the basics.

The entrance to the parking lot on the pool side is narrow and very difficult to access. The road from Route 4 is also narrow, and even with mirrors, visibility is poor. Cars leaving the gym are mostly driven by elderly people, so they often stop in the middle of the entrance, making it impossible to enter or pass other cars, and you almost scrape your car against the flowerbed. This causes traffic jams every time. It's causing a lot of trouble for people other than gym users as well.

I've been a member for quite some time, but the studio is almost always full with regulars. In the gym area, equipment is often unusable due to people occupying the space for extended periods using their phones or groups. Neither the staff nor the part-timers pay attention to dangerous usage, so machines frequently break down. The showers are generally dirty because most people can't read the warning signs. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it.
