Gyms for tourists in Nagasaki 2024
Nagasaki is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Japan with many places to visit such as World heritage-listed Gunkanjima, Atomic bomb museum, Glover Garden, Oura Church etc…. However, there are not many choices for fitness travelers. There is only 1 hotel with a gym and there are 2 local gyms that sell a day pass in convenient locations. See my recommendations below the map.

Recommendation: Maruya Gym Chuobashi is the most convenient for tourists.
In Nagasaki city area, Hilton Nagasaki is the only hotel with a gym room. It is close to the Nagasaki station, and you can take local transportations to all directions in Nagasaki.
There are not many modern hotels in convenient locations in Nagasaki. So if your stay is relatively short, it would be wise to stay close to Nagasaki station. JR Kyushu Hotel Nagasaki is connected to the station and convenient for sightseeing as all trains and buses start from Nagasaki station. This 3-star (still nice) hotel is also right next to a big shopping mall. More importantly for fitness travelers, you can walk to Maruya Gym Takaramachi in 10 min.
