ClassPass is betting that more people in Japan want to go to the gym and that more visitors to the country want to maintain their fitness routines.

The New York-headquartered company, which provides access to gyms globally on a membership basis, started operating in Japan on Sept. 19. It has signed up 200 gyms and fitness studios in the country, mainly in Tokyo.

¡°I think there¡¯s the potential for Japan to be a very big market for ClassPass,¡± said Tom Aveston, CFO of Mindbody ClassPass, the company that owns ClassPass.
