# Outdoor Fitness Clubs FrameDesign Co Creates the Blue Tamagawa in Tokyo By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-09-03 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-tamagawa References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/framedesign-co-blue-tamagawa-outdoor-fitness-club-railway-tokyo-09-03-2014/) & [framedesign.co.jp](http://www.framedesign.co.jp/) [Blue Tamagawa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bottle-coffee-cafe) is an [outdoor fitness club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordic-strong) in Tokyo, which is interesting considering most exercise places are located indoors, sheltering people from the elements. Moreover, the fitness club is located underneath a railway. This space has recently been associated with a place for people to escape traffic and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. When looked at this way, it makes much more sense to have a fitness center situated here, giving people a place to find that mental and physical release. Blue Tamagawa is also meant to provide individuals with an area to talk to one another, which again in turn allows people to stop thinking about the stresses in life. As long as it doesn't rain here, this would be an ideal spot to exercise and relax.
