About Us

Welcome to Turtle Gym, a pioneering fitness institution established in Kyoto, Japan in 2011. Dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older adults, Turtle Gym emerged from a profound insight: that many seniors face health challenges in their later years, often compromising their dignity and independence.

Recognizing the transformative power of exercise, Turtle Gym advocates that staying active can not only maintain vitality and mobility but also potentially delay the onset of age-related disabilities. By promoting a regimen of slow exercises aligned with the principles of slow living and LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability), Turtle Gym nurtures health step-by-step, fostering vitality and longevity.

Central to Turtle Gym's mission is the development of specialized exercise equipment tailored to the unique needs of older adults. Turtle Gym ensures safe and effective workouts that empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives independently. At its core, Turtle Gym embraces the philosophy that "Exercise is medicine and the key to enjoying a long healthy life without medication" —

a testament to our commitment to promoting health and well-being without solely relying on medical interventions.

With a vision rooted in compassion and innovation, Turtle Gym continues to kead the way in promoting SENIOR FITNESS, active aging, reducing the burden on caregivers, and inspiring communities to embrace a lifestyle that prioritizes physical well-being and dignity for all.
