The concept of the studio is to “move and regulate.” “This is a place where you can regulate your body and mind through physical activities,” said Nakamura.
“We provide counseling and training to all kinds of people — for example, to those who with physical ailments, who want to maintain and improve their health, who are worried about not being able to compete due to injury, and who want to address lack of exercise — so that they can get themselves into good physical and mental condition by moving their bodies.”
The studio is about 17 square meters in size. The name of the studio, KULIA, is Hawaiian and means to strive, to do the best, or to make an effort. “I’m not trying to force my clients to work hard or make an extra effort. Instead, I want to provide a place where they can feel comfortable, feel the sense of accomplishment, because of their own efforts,” she said.
Each session runs for 60 minutes. The training menu includes Personal Training (5,000 yen per session) and Semi-Personal/Small Group Training (2,500 yen per person for two people; 2,000 yen per person for three people).
