It has grown on me!: Review : Hilton Osaka Fitness Center

Hilton Osaka Fitness Center

As I mentioned in my previous entry, Hotel Room Tour and Review - Hilton Osaka - Osaka, Japan, my husband and I visited Osaka last winter, and we stayed in Hilton Osaka for two nights. While we were staying in Hilton Osaka, we visited their fitness center.

If you are staying in Hilton Osaka, you can access to their fitness center (fitness gym, pool, and public bath) for free. If you are a special member of Hilton Osaka Fitness Center, you can access to the fitness center without staying in Hilton Osaka. However, a special member fee is 385,000 yen (about $3,850), and the annual fee is 297,000 yen (about $2,970). If you are just a visitor who must be accompanied by a guest, you can use the fitness center for 5,500 yen per day.

Gym Area

The gym area looked a bit old and had some exercise equipment. We went to the gym area at 7:30 a.m. When we arrived there, there were already six people working out. Hilton Osaka's gym area is not very spacious compared to Conrad Osaka, so I felt like it was crowded with eight people (including us).

I was able to work out on this cross trainer. While the gym area was crowded, the pool area was empty of people. We didn't go to the pool area this time though.

Public Bath & Sauna

After working out at the gym area, I went to the public bath. The public bath areas are separated by gender. As you might know, you cannot wear swimsuit in a public bath in Japan. Did you know that most Japanese people love taking a bath at night rather than in the morning? Because it was morning, there wasn't crowded at all. I saw only a few Japanese people there. There were shampoo, conditioner and body soap in the public bath area, and there were skincare products and hair dryer in the powder room/ dressing room. They also had a sauna room, but I didn't use it this time.

Resting Room

Resting Room

The resting room was located next to the locker room. There were some reclining chairs and expensive drinks in mini refrigerator. The water bottle was 400 yen (about $4), and small can of tea was 300 yen (about $3).
