Recommendation: Both Urban Fit 24 Namba and Urban Fit 24 Nagahoribashi are great gyms with reasonable prices. Naniwa Sports Center is also a good option. This is a public gym that is inexpensive (but a little small).This gym is hard to find as they do not have a big sign outside (you can find a small sign in English at the entrance). For a ticket and personal lockers, go to Floor 6 of the building. The actual gym is on the 7F.
