Itsuki considers joining chocoZAP.

I had a sudden thought this morning and decided to join 'chocoZAP,' which I've been curious about for a while now.🏋️

↑ My usual style of starting things out of the blue.

There's no time like the present; when I looked into chocoZAP during my break, I found that if I join now...

It says the initial fee of 5,000 yen and the first month's membership fee are free...!!

Itsuki is being cautious, very cautious here. (← Is that really true?)

Since they offer a one-day free trial, I decided to experience it for myself before making a decision.

As expected of a gym called a 'convenience gym' that's easy to use,I was able to book a one-day free trial for today with just a single email.🙄Surprising

After all, there are only four days left of the grace period (free period)←

I went for a free trial right after work.

Naturally, since it's ChocoZAP, there are no staff members on-site.

Without any explanation, I mixed in with the regulars working hard on their training, tried out the machines like a total amateur (though I do have past experience with Joyfit), and boldly peeked into the dedicated booths for hair removal and such, which had their doors left wide open. (I was just a suspicious person.)

In addition, just like the services for hair removal and beauty treatments, I gazed longingly at the drink bar, which is not included in the free trial(they even have protein and beauty-related drinks...!)

And since I was there, I even finished my daily stretching routine in the mat area, making for a very satisfying one-day free trial.

Actually, there was one point I was most concerned about regarding joining ChocoZAP...

That was the truth behind the negative reviews that have followed ChocoZAP ever since I started looking into it...

Specifically, the claims that because there are no staff on-site, there are issues with security and hygiene (especially the restrooms).

However, after seeing it for myself, the branch I visited was clean overall, and the restrooms were also kept in good condition.

I felt that the users were also following the rules, such as wiping down equipment before and after use and being considerate of others, so I felt I could join with peace of mind.

I ended up staying for about an hour.

Going to the gym after work makes me feel so sophisticated. 🤤💖

I left ChocoZAP feeling quite full of myself.

However, since I had squeezed this into my schedule so suddenly, I was in a rush after leaving the gym.

By the time I finished shopping, got ready, and finished dinner, it was quite late. 🤣

Actually, I wanted to write about why I decided to start strength training, but I don't think I'll even be able to browse through my notes, so I'm giving up on that for today.

However, the reason I thought I'd force myself to write this article today is...

Because there are only three days left from the time I published this article for the 5,000 yen initial fee and first month's membership fee to be free...!

It seems like this campaign is being held at ChocoZAP locations nationwide. (Just in case, please check your nearest ChocoZAP if you're interested 🙏)

Three days is a short time to get the idea, consider it, do a one-day free trial, and register.

But if I'm going to join, this free period is attractive.

I wrote this article because I wanted to let you know in case there was anyone else like me who was curious about ChocoZAP.

The first month of the year is a good time to start something new.

In the first place, I can only assume that ChocoZAP launched this campaign in January to capture all the people who overindulged during the New Year holidays and are now regretting their holiday weight gain (lol).

If there was anyone who was curious about ChocoZAP... now is the time!

The reason I decided to start strength training, which I wrote earlier that I gave up on for today... now that I've come this far, is it okay if I write it down? (← So you're going to write it after all)

Lately, I've been feeling a bit unhealthy (negative) in my mind and spirit.

Every day, I struggle while trying to value positive words (kotodama) and smiles, but when I let my guard down, I easily get depressed or melancholy over trivial things.

It's cold, and the daylight hours are short.
I'm sure it's partly seasonal.

I also think it's partly due to my body's natural cycles.

But I also felt it wasn't good that from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep, even in time outside of work and chores, I'm constantly stimulating and burdening my mind and heart with smartphones, videos, overthinking, and feeling 'guilty about doing nothing'.

Even if I think that, it's not something I can just consciously fix.

So,

Following the 'Muscle saves everything' spirit of Testosterone, from whom I've received so much courage, I thought:

I'm going to force my brain, which I've been letting get busy and exhausted with trivial things, to be blank again through strength training (dialogue with the body), and release lots of happy hormones!!!

And while I'm at it, I want to get back the toned body I had when I was obsessed with strength training and feel good about myself (lol).

At locations that have karaoke, I want to sing too♪

That's what I thought.
