ALCOMOT Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo Ward, Tokyo / CEO: Heita Kato) will open 'Bebi Gym Baby gym & Chill,' an indoor physical activity center for children aged 0–3, in July 2026 in Komaeguchi, Bunkyo City, Tokyo (1-minute walk from 'Komaeguchi Station' on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, 4-minute walk from 'Hakusan Station' on the Toei Mita Line).
Background: Declining Physical Abilities in Children and Parental Burden
According to a Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology survey, the physical abilities of 5-year-olds in 2007 had declined to the level of 3-year-olds in 1985, indicating a two-year regression in children's motor skills over just two decades. Over the same period, time and spaces for active play have continued to decrease, with reports of children getting injured during warm-up exercises in elementary school physical education classes.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children over one year old engage in at least three hours of physical activity daily. However, the median daily physical activity time for preschool children in Japan is only around 20 minutes.

For families raising children in urban areas, creating an environment that meets these standards is not easy. The issue of children's physical inactivity is intrinsically linked to the increasing burden on parents who are constantly occupied with childcare.
Features of Bebi Gym
To address these challenges, Bebi Gym has designed its services around three core principles:
- Sports Psychology and Motor Development-Based Environment Design
The program incorporates 'Ballschule,' a physical education methodology developed at Heidelberg University. Emphasizing 'learning by doing,' it focuses not only on physical abilities but also on nurturing children's independent thinking skills.
- Unlimited Access Membership
The unlimited access model allows families to use the facility anytime, for any duration, providing a consistent environment for physical activity regardless of weather or mood.
- Parent Lounge
While children are active, parents can relax in the lounge, work, or socialize with other parents.

Future Outlook
Starting with the Komaeguchi location as its first branch, Bebi Gym plans to expand to multiple locations across Tokyo. The company aims to create a seamless unlimited access system across all branches, enabling families to drop in not only near their homes but also in central areas like Shinjuku. Under the mission of 'making movement a part of children's daily lives,' Bebi Gym will deliver physical education for children and rest for parents to more households.
Message from the CEO
As a father of two children aged 0 and 3, I have personally faced the anxieties of first-time parenting, concerns about child development, and the frustration of having no personal time—challenges shared by many parents.
Modern developmental theory suggests that abilities such as:
- Sitting still - Using chopsticks - Speaking clearly
are built upon a foundational 'developmental pyramid,' much of which is established through physical movement.
That is why I believe diverse physical experiences are the best form of education during early childhood.
However, creating such environments is not easy, and continuously supervising children to prevent injuries places a significant burden on parents.
I founded Bebi Gym with the goal of simultaneously solving these two seemingly opposing challenges: 'early childhood physical education' and 'parental rest.'
To all parents concerned about their child's growth and health, or feeling exhausted by daily childcare, I sincerely invite you to visit Bebi Gym.
