The right one is "Let's Ask Google."

Okay.

Yeah.
There you go.
So let's read the search title first.
Can I...
Okay.
Can we go back?
I wanna read this.
This one?
"Gyps..."
So the first recommendation we got was "ZIP Sports Park."
Yes.
And the first search result was "Gyps Sports Park."
So it's "Midoriyama no Goanai."
Right.
Let's click that.
So it's a sports park called ZIP.
Yeah.
Maybe gym?
Fitness club.
Fitness club.
Like swimming, fitness, little yoga...
Yoga class.
Maybe kinda...
Okay.
Okay.
So it's a gym.
It's a sports park.
I wonder where it is.
It's in Midoriyama.
Midoriyama.
Where's Midoriyama?
I don't know.
Midoriyama.
Let's look at where the Midoriyama is.
Yeah.
Go back and see the map.
Alright.
Oh.
Machida.
Oh, it's in Machida.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
It's not that really, really far from here.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's why on the Google maybe.
That's why this...
Right, maybe, maybe.
The GPS was like part of the thingy.
03:01
ZIP Sports Park.
I...
Hold on.
What kind of...
What do they have?
How much is it?
How much is it?
Is that the gym?
Like the one like Konami or Fit Anytime.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
Right?
I mean, what else could it be?
Like a little more...
Like school.
Oh, yeah, but it looks like...
Fitness Ryojinhyo.
Like usual gym.
Regular gym.
Master plan, no restrictions, 12,000 yen.
Regular membership, 10 days.
10 days a month, 7,400 yen.
I see.
I see.
I see.
I'm actually...
Like literally today,
as I was walking to my station, I was like,
I need to join a gym.
I need to get back to the gym life.
That's great.
Right, because Corona started,
and then like the gym closed down,
and I resigned my membership.
So ever since then, I was too lazy to get back up.
I get back in the gym life.
Now I'm like, I gotta start.
I gotta get back.
Great.
My muscles are deteriorating.
Really, it is.
I had a bigger arms,
but like it's going away.
I mean, still it's quite big,
but...
Look at that!
Wow!
I got a stock, man.
Wow!
We gotta do something about this.
Yeah.
Like...
This is a problem.
Yeah, that is a problem.
Like honestly, like,
we never imagined that, that from your...
Exactly!
I mean, outside looking, wow!
But like if you stand up, it's so much better.
You know, you sit down.
Yeah, like that.
But still, look at, it's still, I got this little...
Yeah, like little soft...
Wow!
I got this little thing on my stomach.
I gotta fix this, man.
Yeah, of course.
It's...
I know this isn't because I'm not training.
I'm eating too much sugar.
That's a problem.
But I gotta fix that first.
Yeah.
But as well, you also...
Muscle training is also...
Of course.
I gotta get back in the game.
Of course.
Yeah.
I mean, not that fat.
Not that fat, but like...
But still, it's kind of...
Little...
Chubby.
Chubby.
Chubby.
Chubby.
Chubby.
Wow.
So I gotta fix this, man.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
So that's a problem.
Wow.
So you decided where to go?
Yeah, the closest one from my house.
Okay.
How much is that?
I think it's about like...
Let me check, okay?
My...
It is...
06:05
This one right here.
Wait, I think it's this one.
It's the...
It's the...
Right here.
Oh.
So this is how much?
Let's see.
Oh, it's...
Whole day?
You can go 24 hours.
Any day.
Any time you want.
Wow.
Nice.
National coin.
Mm-hmm.
The entrance fee is 2,000 yen, and the total amount is 3,000 yen.
Okay.
The monthly fee is 7,618 yen.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
What do you think about the price?
Yeah, that's the usual price.
The usual price?
Okay.
For one month, and you can go free, right?
Yeah.
Any time you want.
Yes.
Yeah, that's...
So it's a reasonable price.
Yeah.
I think that's even reasonable compared to, like, Konami.
Konami's higher.
Higher, like...
More expensive.
...1,000...
How much?
Ah.
Yeah.
Got it.
It's kind of like no fitness advisor, no, like...
I don't think so.
Yeah, that's why it's a little cheaper than...
So it usually comes with a fitness advisor?
Like, there's a service...
Service?
Some...
Some macho guy.
Some macho guy is looking around and tries to help.
Oh, really?
You're doing it the wrong way.
Like, that kind of vibe?
Yeah.
Okay.
And also have a pool, sauna, ofuro.
Right.
I think they got one here.
Look, I think...
Look, I think they've got a shisetsu no kowanai.
Maybe...
Maybe this is not the page.
Hold on.
Subete tsukai honai.
So they've got...
Maybe not.
Maybe not.
Maybe they don't have, like, the spas and the saunas and stuff like that.
Maybe they don't have one.
But I don't need them.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't.
I don't need them.
Then perfect for you.
Only the machines and...
Do you use them?
Yeah.
You do?
Ofuro and pool.
Is it worth it?
For me, yeah.
Like, I prefer the running and swimming, you know, that those kind of...
Right.
Oxygen...
I don't know how to say that.
Yeah, I don't know either.
You sound so...
So I prefer having pool, having onsen, having those facilities.
Look at that.
Wow.
Amazing.
They've got, like, a 3D kind of model of the whole gym.
Wow.
It's amazing.
Wow.
09:00
Yeah, so they don't have a spa or anything like that.
But that's not for you.
That's perfect for you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Completely enough for me.
Only the machines and...
Yeah, definitely.
I don't need any of that.
Then that's cheap and perfect.
Open 24 hours a day.
Yes.
That will be perfect for you.
But do you think they'll make you wear masks in the gym?
They do?
Yeah.
Like, when I was in a former town, I was in a gym member, and I had to wear a mask.
You had to wear a mask.
Even though I was running.
That's tough.
Yeah, that was tough.
Right.
Everyone has to.
Everyone has to?
Everyone has to.
Has to.
Everyone has to wear a mask.
What if it was, like, a little...
You know how in some of the TV shows they wear a little plastic thing that goes...
You've got some spaces in between your mouth and the plastic shield.
Face shield.
Yeah, face shield.
Ah, like this.
Is face shield allowed?
I don't know.
If it's a face shield, it's so much easier.
Yeah, so you can take the oxygen in, right?
Let's look at the staff.
Okay, it's a Jeep Sports Park staff showcase.
Yeah.
Wow.
Shihai-nin.
Looks like...
Looks young.
Really?
I think he's like...
38, my guess.
45.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But looks like...
Yeah.
Like, healthy, natural guy.
He looks like a healthy guy.
Yeah, he looks very healthy.
Yeah.
Very, very healthy.
He doesn't look healthy.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
But he doesn't look healthy.
Yeah, he doesn't.
Maybe because of the lighting.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Right.
And he doesn't have a smile that lightens up.
Right.
Right.
And his face is not that tightened up.
Exactly.
So, like, the first guy here, the Shihai-nin, is not even smiling.
Yeah, cool.
But, like, has a really, like...
Tightened up face.
Yeah.
And, like, athletic guy.
Yes!
This guy over here is like...
A little bit daunting, right?
Okay.
Yeah, they're all...
Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
What else, then?
Dance school.
Dance school.
Have you ever danced, man?
No.
Me neither.
I've never danced.
Oh!
Maybe we should try one.
We should try to dance, man.
Are you sure?
Yeah, it'll be fun.
What kind of dance do you want to try?
BTS dance?
Yeah, that's fine.
That's because you like...
K-pop dance?
Of course.
What is K-pop dance?
No, it's just normal dancing.
Just pop dancing.
Okay.
I have no knowledge in this field.
I'm not going to speak further, but, like, it's probably not called pop dance.
Definitely not.
Just trying to dance.
Yeah.
But you shouldn't...
12:02
I mean, we shouldn't expect that we can dance like BTS.
Why not?
Like BTS.
Why not?
Maybe if we practice we can.
I mean, yeah.
Maybe.
There's talent, right?
Maybe we've got the talents.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe not.
Maybe or maybe not.
We'll just try.
Right?
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Maybe we could really fall in love with dancing.
Maybe, maybe.
It could turn out to be a passion.
Maybe.
But when I was a college student, I was...
I once tried to enter a dancing circle.
Oh, really?
That's interesting.
And I did have a little contact to them.
Yeah, that's nice.
Yeah.
But actually it was so, you know, tough schedule.
Really?
So I...
Like, wake up in the morning early?
No, like, every day, like, every day I have practice from...
They have practice from Monday to Saturday, like, one hour, two hour, like, every day.
And, you know, I was also in a complex circle and I was kind of busy so I couldn't make time.
You weren't able to commit that time.
It wasn't for this, but...
It wasn't...
So it wasn't because you figured out that you didn't have the skills for dancing.
Yeah.
It was just the scheduling problem.
Yes.
Right?
It wasn't the skill.
Right?
Yeah.
Have you tried dancing?
No.
I mean...
How...
It's like a couple steps kind of thing.
Yeah.
I went to a...
I mean, the club, the, you know, the club, right?
The disco club.
Disco, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And did a little dance.
That's what I have experienced.
That you have experienced.
But not like this dance.
Okay.
All right.
They always wear these hats, you know?
Yeah.
They always wear these hats.
What do you call these hats?
Like...
Yeah.
Like this.
I'm going to try to explain.
It's...
Normal caps, you have like the shield on your face, on the front facing, right?
Yeah.
But it's the one that you have 360 for.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not...
Yeah, yeah.
That's a dancer's...
Yeah, a lot of the dancers wear this hat.
Yeah.
I don't know why.
They always wear this.
Even if they think that they...
Do they need it for something?
I mean...
Maybe head spin?
No.
It's just make...
Just make it look cooler?
Make it look cooler.
Because they're already inside.
Yeah, right.
So they don't need any cap.
There is no sunlight that's blocking their view or shit like that, right?
Yeah.
Just make it...
Just make it look cool.
Professional.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
And they always wear a huge shirt.
They do wear a huge shirt.
Like huge.
They do.
Yeah.
They do, they do.
I...
We had a dance circle for our university.
You know that, right?
No.
It felt a little bit...
It felt a little bit scary to me.
How they look?
No, like their atmosphere was a little bit...
15:02
A little bit like...
Maybe not friendly?
Yeah, a little bit.
I feel very strong friendship inside their...
Inside of their community.
But like to outsiders, it feels really like...
I felt a really coldness from them.
Yeah.
I just didn't feel any friendship, any friendliness from them.
True.
They're not that open to anyone.
Yeah.
Just closed.
Yes.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like...
I mean, that's just probably my...
Yeah, but that's something I did felt too.
You did, right.
That tribe.
Right, the tribe.
Yeah.
Must be.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Yeah.
All right.
So there you go.
Zip Sports Center.
Yep.
You should go and check.
Yep.
The telephone number is 044-988-5335.
Yeah, that was the actual...
Yes.
The actual phone number.
So please do not...
Yeah.
Please do not...
We are not associated with this in any way.
At all.
At all.
At all.
There is no discount for this or anything.
At all.
We just randomly found it on the internet.
So please not make fun of them by calling, bothering them.
Yeah.
And please don't look at the staff page and be like, "Oh, that's what he was talking about?"
That's not polite, guys.
No, don't do that.
Don't go back and check, okay?
All right.
Bye-bye, guys.
