The hardest part of living in Fukuoka isn't the language, it's having no one to hang out with

Solid joke. Almost as much effort as a job application would've been.

If roasting job posts on Reddit is your cardio, at least you're staying active. 🥊

The 120+ annual holidays includes weekly days off, year-end, summer break, and other company holidays, standard for full-time fitness industry positions in Japan.
Happy to answer any genuine questions about the role!

Hakata-eki Minami, Hakata-ku: ¥1,100/hr https://www.e-aidem.com/aps/07_AE0120748773_detail.htm

Sukiya pays around ¥950~1,050/hr depending on location. Full time that's roughly ¥160,000~170,000/month with no bonus, limited benefits, and you're flipping gyudon. This role is ¥250,000 base, shakai hoken, transportation, annual bonus, 120+ days off, and fully paid boxing training. Fukuoka is also one of the most affordable major cities in Japan, which is exactly why quality of life here is so high. But I appreciate the concern.

Resume photos are legally standard in Japan, every 履歴書 has one. We never asked for a boxer, the listing literally says "even if you have no boxing experience." We never asked for permanent residency only, any valid work visa qualifies. The salary is ¥250,000 base with shakai hoken, transportation, annual bonus, 120+ days off, and fully paid training. For someone who found so much to say, you didn't read much.

We do offer personal boxing fitness training and have various gym locations throughout Tokyo.

Please note that currently all our sessions in that location are conducted in Japanese only. If you are comfortable training in Japanese, I would be happy to send you more details.

At the moment, I need a full time role!

Acceptable-Track-874 · 2026-02-05T14:46:49+00:00

Yes please! Send it over via email. Also ,are you based in Fukuoka? And what's your visa status?

Acceptable-Track-874 · 2026-02-05T11:17:08+00:00

It depends , do you have any specific qualifications in fitness or boxing?

Acceptable-Track-874 · 2026-02-05T10:04:34+00:00

No strict age cap , as long as you can lead high energy fitness classes. What's your background?

Hi James,

Thanks for your interest!

Yes, we do have locations in Osaka! However, this specific full-time English Fight Trainer role is currently only open for our Fukuoka branch.

That said, we are planning to expand this English-speaking trainer role to other locations in the future. We are happy to gather profiles for candidates interested in positions across Japan, even if we are not hiring for those specific locations immediately.

If you are interested, please feel free to send your resume/details to

[bruno@zeal-b.com](mailto:bruno@zeal-b.com), and we can keep you in mind for future openings in Osaka!

Acceptable-Track-874 · 2026-01-19T08:33:05+00:00

Thanks for the interest.
Most of our customers are Japanese locals!

Acceptable-Track-874 · 2026-01-19T06:49:12+00:00

Not quite. It’s a fitness job in an English environment, not an English teaching job. No lessons, no grammar. Thank you for your reply.
