Hello!

Earlier, we shared the story behind our free drinks and snacks ([Free drinks, free snacks! Why are we doing this?](/blog/free-snack)). While many newcomers joke about watching their waistlines with all these perks, there is another side to the story: Mujin actually has a **full in-house gym**!

## Why Did We Build a Gym?

In the office, prolonged desk work puts a real strain on shoulders and lower backs. And with free meals and snacks readily available, it's easy to indulge after intense brainwork.

:::note[Background of the Gym Facility]
When planning our relocation to the Tatsumi HQ, many creative ideas were on the table: a theater room, an in-house bar, a basketball half-court, even a bouldering wall.

Ultimately, leadership decided: **"Let's build something that contributes directly and sustainably to member health and well-being."** A comprehensive fitness gym was the clear winner.

To eliminate the friction of finding a gym near the station or detouring on the commute home, **Mujin Gym officially opened its doors in July 2020**.

## Training in Action!

After work or during breaks, team members across different divisions gather for strength training!

We often start with the bench press. Adjusting the rack height, checking form, and...

Teammates spot and encourage one another, pushing through those last few reps safely.
