Rather than suddenly jumping into hard training, they first assessed the condition of my body — such as my posture and balance — before progressing with the sessions, which made me feel very safe and reassured throughout the process.
The shoulder stiffness and body tightness I had struggled with for many years have gradually started to improve, and I can genuinely feel my body changing little by little.
Because they combine training with sports massage, it feels like the body is loosened and strengthened at the same time, allowing the muscles to be stimulated very efficiently.
I think this gym is especially suitable for people returning to exercise, as well as those in their 40s and 50s.
I definitely want to continue training here long-term.
R Sakamoto, Student
Since high school, I had struggled with foot pain caused by flat feet, to the point where I could no longer properly enjoy playing football (soccer). At the orthopaedic clinic, I was advised to avoid exercise and was even recommended surgery.
After starting at SEIJI STUDIOS, they carefully assessed my body condition first and helped me understand how I was using not only my feet, but my entire body.
Rather than focusing only on the feet, they gradually introduced conditioning and training to improve my overall balance, including my core strength and posture.
What impressed me most was that they never simply told me to stop exercising. Instead, they supported me from the perspective of “how can we continue while improving the condition?”
As a result, the pain gradually improved, and now I’m able to continue playing football without any major issues.
I’m truly grateful that I was able to recover this much without surgery.
For anyone in Kyoto looking for personal training, improvement for flat feet, foot pain, or better sports performance, I would highly recommend this studio.

I recently started looking for a personal gym around the Nakagyo-ku / Karasuma area and began training at SEIJI STUDIOS.
Unlike conventional gyms, I was very impressed by their British-style method and philosophy of “conditioning the body before strengthening it.”
They combine training with sports massage while improving the body’s balance throughout the process.
Since starting, I’ve noticed significant improvements in both my posture and movement, and I can genuinely feel changes in my body.
The shoulder stiffness and knee pain I originally struggled with have also improved considerably.
The trainers are extremely attentive and tailor the sessions specifically to the individual, so it feels easy to continue without unnecessary strain.
The studio itself is also very clean and welcoming.
For anyone in the Kyoto / Karasuma area looking to improve their body from the root cause, I highly recommend this place.

It has been one month since I started training at SEIJI STUDIOS.
The thing that has made me happiest is how much clearer and sharper my mind feels.
One of the unique characteristics of SEIJI STUDIOS is that they provide massage treatment during the training sessions themselves.
They immediately care for the areas that have been exercised.
When they worked on my shoulders, neck, and the back of my head, I realized just how fatigued my eyes and mind had become.
Of course, the full-body strength training has also been extremely effective, and even walking has become enjoyable again.
It honestly feels as though my life energy has returned♪
M Morooka, Public Servant
It has been one month since I began training with the goal of building a healthy body for life.
Due to lymphedema, I constantly suffered from swelling in my legs and overall fatigue, and I regularly visited massage clinics. However, nothing ever truly solved the root problem, and I had started to believe it was simply part of ageing.
Now, my body feels noticeably lighter — almost unbelievably so.
My previously hunched posture has improved significantly, and every time I go to training, I can feel my range of motion expanding.
Before beginning training, I received a detailed consultation where we discussed my body condition, concerns, and goals. I think it was extremely valuable to first properly confront the reality of my own body, something I had tended to avoid.
The training is never excessive, but they still apply the necessary level of challenge. The massage treatment — clearly performed by someone with deep knowledge of body structure — is not only comfortable but highly effective, and the swelling in my legs has improved considerably.
This is a training studio that genuinely makes me excited to see how much my body can continue to change.
H Okuda, Esthetician
Both the concept and the method are truly one of a kind among personal training gyms.
Every process is supported by clear theory and logic, allowing you to train with a strong sense of safety, confidence, and understanding.
Rather than simply focusing on exercise alone, the instructors deeply consider what true health actually means. Under their guidance, I have been able to properly reconnect with my own body at the age of 63.
From the consultation to the training itself, the atmosphere is incredibly gentlemanly, making it a place where I feel deeply satisfied both physically and mentally.
I especially believe this is the perfect personal gym — filled with genuine care and compassion ❤️ — for women in their 50s and beyond who are thinking seriously about their health for the next stage of life.
T Sasaki, Doctor
Whenever I tried getting back into exercise or building consistency with training, I would often end up developing pain somewhere or injuring myself.
I tried going to massage clinics and researching solutions online and through books, but nothing seemed to improve the situation properly.
At that point, I happened to call SEIJI STUDIOS.
Mr. Seiji carefully explained why the pain was occurring, what exactly needed to be corrected, and what I should pay attention to while exercising.
Since then, I’ve been able to exercise without getting injured.
He is also a genuinely good person, which makes the experience even easier to recommend.

I took part in the 3 months body evolution programme. I initially underwent an analysis of my body, accurately picking out areas which were tight from overuse as well as areas which were weak and under active. Based on this, I then underwent a custom made exercise programme, where I was able to go from 75 to 67kg, losing most of which was excess body fat. I thoroughly recommend Seiji Studios for those who are looking to make a serious and lasting change to their body and lifestyle.

I have been training at SEIJI STUDIOS for the past 6 months.
Before I came to the studio, I would experience a heaviness in my body, where I would often feel lethargic and further experienced great discomfort with a tennis elbow injury I was carrying for the previous 6 months. I was undergoing electromagnetic therapy to treat the injury at the time.
I initially started with just a consultation, where I immediately received great encouragement from the education I received about my current physical state and injury, all explained with very easy to understand simple language.
My training regime began soon after where I was able to physically see my body shape changing.
It’s so pleasing to see that physical change can be achieved even when in my 40’s!
The post training massages feel amazing and serve as a great physical as well as mental refreshment and help reduce the onset of fatigue from the training itself.
The tennis elbow injury which once troubled my everyday lifestyle disappeared within 1 month of going to the studio which I still don’t know how that was achieved!
Overall SEIJI STUDIOS is a great place to be for anyone looking to improve their body and lifestyle and I would confidently recommend it to anyone!

It’s been one month since I started going to the studio for both training and massage.
Considering I can go either before or after my working hours, it’s very convenient for me to go to the studio and have a session.
The training programme I am taking part in involves aspects of dieting, where if I come across a food I am not sure whether I should be eating or not, I am easily able to ask the question via the SNS service the studio provides, which doesn’t leave me looming in the dark and therefore is hugely beneficial.
The training itself is not overly tough, although you still need to push yourself.
I even sometimes think ‘was that it? have I done enough?’ but I am reaping good results and getting closer towards achieving my goals so it’s a case of highly efficient training.
This is a great studio for anyone looking to achieve physical goals and improve their body!
