Konami Sports Club Kami-Ooka to Open at the End of April
Introduction of Highly Effective Fat-Burning Program, BODYBIKE Suitable for First-time Users

Konami Sports & Life Co., Ltd. plans to open Konami Sports Club Kami-Ooka in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture at the end of April 2010. The facility will be directly accessible from the Yokohama Municipal Subway Line’s Kami-Ooka Station and occupy the first and second floors of the complex:mioka, which is connected to the Keikyu Line’s Kami-Ooka Station via the pedestrian deck（*1）.

Konami Sports Club Kami-Ooka will offer a wide range of programs to suit the needs of all ages, from children through to adults.

Designed for adults, the facility will offer LES MILLS PROGRAM(group exercise)（*2） featured in 75 countries around the world, including BODYBIKE（*3）. Although a simple movement, by continuously pedaling the bike to invigorating music as they change their tempo, load and posture, customers exert a large amount of energy to achieve a safe and effective workout.
Other services tailored to customer needs include the aqua and personal swimming school programs for exercise in the pool.

The facility will also feature Undojuku(sports school for children) based on the concept of physical and mental training as well as self-development. Here, children are able to acquire skills through exercises such as swimming, karate and junior funk (dance) that help them to develop a well-rounded character, including the ability to work in groups, independence and etiquette.

Customers can also refresh themselves after exercising or wash away their everyday exhaustion by relaxing in the facility’s warm water bath, cold water bath, dry sauna or open air bath.

Konami Sports & Life Co.,Ltd. looks to satisfy the needs of local residents and support healthy and active lifestyles through the services it will provide at Konami Sports Club Kami-Ooka.
