About us
You don't want just a gym membership. You want a membership that means something. And that means you need support, expert help and a community.

Best Body Fitness isn't just a gym: it's a full-service fitness membership made for you.

Here's how it works:

STEP ONE: Your assessment
We begin with an assessment session. This is a chance for you to see what we do at Best Body. Our assessment plans are no-cost and no-risk. We'll also make a training plan specifically for you.

STEP TWO: Your training
When you decide to become a Best Body member, we show you what to do, how to do it and why you are doing it. After a few sessions with an expert private trainer you will feel comfortable working out on your own. But don't worry, we'll always be nearby if you have questions.

STEP THREE: Your membership
Membership works on a month-to-month basis. There are no sign-up fees and no cancellation fees. Start and stop whenever you want. And the best part? Our fees are the most competitive in the whole downtown area.

STEP FOUR: Your community
At Best Body Fitness, we see everyone as part of a big team. And when you work with a team, you can do great things. Join any of our specialised classes, led by expert instructors. Come to our nutrition classes. Participate in our regular social events. Everything is included in your fee.

Finally, we wanted to share with you some reasons why our members say that they have chosen us over any other fitness centre in the city.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
北海道に帰ってきました！
北海道は雨です。
気温は21℃です。
やっぱり涼しいですね！


今日は私が好きな食べ物について。
好きな飲み物は、よく話していますが、コーヒーが好きです。

好きな食べ物は、いろいろありますが、その中のひとつがそばです。

みなさんはそばを知っていますか？
食べたことがありますか？

そばは、英語だとbuckwheat といいますか？
そのままSobaとも言うかもしれません。

そばは、冷たいそばとあたたかいそばがあります。
私は冷たいそばの方が好きです。
そばは、そばつゆにつけて食べます。
ときどき、あたたかいつゆにつけて食べることもあります。

日本人は基本的にはすすって食べますね。すする、というのは説明は難しいですが、ズズズっと音をたてて食べることですね。

他の国の方はすすりませんね。ネットで調べてみると、すするのは日本だけと書いていました。もし、自分の国もすするよ！という人は教えてください！

日本ではなぜすするかというと、すすることで香りもしっかりと感じることができるからなどいくつか理由があります。
ある説では、江戸時代などに流行ったそばはどこでも食べれるようなファーストフードのようだったそうです。テーブルがないようなところでも食べていたので、器に自分の口を近づけてすすってズルズルと吸い込むようなすする食べ方が定着したのでは、と言われているようです。

当時、忙しい人たちは短い時間でそばをすすって食べ、次の仕事に行ったんですね。それをカッコいい、粋(いき)だ、coolだ、と流行ったのかもしれません。

今日は、好きなそばの食べ方について話しました。ぜひ次そばを食べる時はすすって食べてみてください！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！

In this episode, I share a hilarious true story about how Thai students (including me!) in Nanjing still found a way to shower twice a day — even when hot water was gone and it was snowing outside! 🧊🇹🇭🚿
