Source: each company’s price, trial and studio list pages (checked November 9, 2026; see the links in each section). The number of studios is the total for Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba, and does not include studios that have not yet opened. LAVA’s ¥6,800 is the lowest across studios nationwide, and a ¥680 operating management fee is charged every month. LAVA’s student discount (ages 16 to 24, from ¥3,800) and zen place’s online-only membership (4 sessions a month for ¥6,600) are not general monthly fees for attending a studio, so they are not in the table.

2. Things to know when choosing a pilates or yoga studio in Kanto

Studios are concentrated in Tokyo. 83 of zen place’s 115 studios and 56 of Pilates Mirror’s 88 are in Tokyo. If you want to use two studios, one near work and one near home, first look at the rules for attending other studios.

The rules for attending other studios differ by chain. At LAVA, monthly plans are split into plans for 1 studio, 2 studios or all studios in the group, and attending a studio other than your registered one costs ¥300 to ¥1,000 a visit. Pilates Mirror lets you attend 2 of your 6 monthly sessions at any studio. pilates K charges ¥0 to ¥550 at another studio, zen place’s mat group can use other studios (with a price difference at some), and WECLE’s “Progress” plan is the only one usable at every studio.

The monthly fee changes by studio, grade and the way you contract. zen place has grades 01 and 02 by studio, and WECLE’s prices are those for members on an annual contract. CLUB PILATES differs by studio, and at the 6 studios checked, 4 sessions a month were ¥11,990 to ¥14,190.

A rule that the joining fee is ¥0 if you join on the day of the trial exists at LAVA, zen place, WECLE and Luluto, and Repilates also announces it as a limited-time benefit on the pages of studios such as Ikebukuro. In exchange, LAVA’s 3 months at ¥1,980 requires 12 months of continuation after the special price, zen place’s joining-fee-free benefit requires 4 or 6 months of continuation depending on the plan, and CLUB PILATES Kagurazaka’s joining-fee-free benefit carries a 3-month contract period. Read the continuation conditions before deciding on the day of the trial.

3. A chain where you can also choose hot yoga

LAVA: from ¥6,800 a month, ¥0 trial, 201 studios in Kanto

The hot yoga studio LAVA is a chain centered on hot yoga taken in a heated room. Its official list shows 97 studios in Tokyo, 45 in Kanagawa (22 in Yokohama), 32 in Saitama (7 in Saitama City) and 27 in Chiba (4 in Chiba City). There are women-only studios and mixed studios, and depending on the studio you can also take “Rintosull” machine pilates using a reformer, and dark-room kickboxing.

There are 3 main monthly plans. “Light Full-time,” for attending 1 fixed studio, is ¥7,800 to ¥15,800, “4 Full-time,” with 4 sessions a month at about once a week, is ¥6,800 to ¥10,800, and “Premium Free Full-time,” usable at all studios and the group’s brands, is ¥16,800 (tax included, with the amount differing by studio). In addition, a ¥680 operating management fee is charged every month, and a ¥2,500 facility fee at joining. Students aged 16 to 24 can also choose a student plan of 4 sessions a month at their registered studio (¥3,800 to ¥5,800).

The trial lesson is ¥0, and wear and towels can be borrowed for free, so you can go with empty hands. You arrive at the studio 30 minutes before the trial starts, and can use the shower after the lesson. Signing up takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

If you join on the day of the trial, a campaign until the end of November 2026 makes the ¥5,000 joining fee and ¥5,000 registration fee ¥0, and makes the all-you-can-attend plan (¥16,800) ¥1,980 a month for the first 3 months only. The condition is to continue for 12 months after the special price. People who took a LAVA trial lesson or open house within the past 5 months, and people who registered as a monthly member at LAVA, Rintosull or similar, are excluded.

You can apply for LAVA’s trial lesson on the LAVA trial lesson reservation page (ad).
