Synopsis
During a regular after-school grub crawl, gluttonous high schooler Hibiki Sakura is confronted about her ever-expanding waistline by her best friend, Ayaka Uehara. With her attempts at solitary exercise failing miserably, Hibiki decides to join the newly opened Silverman Gym. At her orientation, Hibiki runs into student council president and school idol Akemi Souryuuin. However, it soon turns out that Hibiki is in for a lot more than she bargained for. Not only is Silverman Gym full of world-renowned bodybuilders and athletes, but to make matters worse, Akemi turns out to be a total muscle fetishist! Grossed out by the scene unfolding before her eyes, Hibiki begins to leave, only to be stopped by trainer Naruzou Machio. Completely enthralled with her newfound Prince Charming, Hibiki signs up as a gym member. Now, as a result of her spur-of-the-moment decision, Hibiki must adapt to her new lifestyle.

the introduction of the plot and the character already says that the series is going to be fun. Even if you don’t know anything about fitness, the episode keeps things simple and fun. if you’re here for humor and fitness jokes this series is for you.
the overall series is build to have fun and have a good laugh. It is a bit of a gym class as well. The series doesn’t really build toward a climax, but if you’re looking for good gag humor, it’s still recommended
It was a nice episode for season finale. The beach fun and the competition added life to the episode. The blossoming friendship between the girls was worth noting.
It was a normal episode except for some shocks like Machio being the temple priest. The episodes are always very educational in terms of training. The live broadcast event had some humorous moments.
It was a normal festival episode with girls trying to look for an ideal date in the Christmas party. The amusement park part was filled with humour and tension as Akemi took Machio with her.
Great episode. Bodybuilding episode without a bodybuilding competition is a no go. Machio meeting his master after long time and the reason behind their separation was really humourous. Machio is really a good of muscles.
The episode is getting better each time. The popularity of the gym and training is making everyone join it. The hiking trip was scary as well as humourous. New face coming to Japan. Excited on what's going to happen next.
A good episode with lot of education. Hibiki's bringing friends to work, Zina finding Satomi's secret and the girls audition for idols made it a power packed episode.
Arm wrestling , new rival things are getting more exciting in Hibiki's life without her knowledge. Great episode, lot of fun. Even the trainer recognised Hibiki's strength.
The sports day related episode was very exciting. For training enthusiasts these episodes are very educational. The sauna battle and the raffle had an exciting finish.
Omg I absolutely love skull crushers, PEAK for triceps frfr. The party was a really fun watch. Machio really does not miss a chance to flex lmao. Though the animation feels a little stiff at times, the animators do not shy away from showing off their skills when there are muscles involved. Don't forget to pose to really show off dem muscles!
Even though there isn't really much of an impact when it comes to the soundtrack, given the kind of anime it is, the educational aspect, along with the hilariousness of it, really does it for me. This episode showed how far they've come with their fitness journey, so proud of my girls<3
Of course, the shrine was full of macho dudes. The stair-climbing was informative, and it's really important to know how to do things right, even though we do them every day. Again, the episode emphasises at-home exercises without weights.
Really great episode. The girls trying different ways to train when the gym is crowded or closed is highly commendable. Akemi' home and her sisters training library was something else. The beach training was something else.
Like muscle building master, like student. Love how they were going through such similar issues while trying to reconnect. Doge-chan is thoroughly entertaining and funny. Never been to a bodybuilding contest but this episode really made me feel like I'd experienced one thoroughly.
I love how they teach one to do exercises with not only dumbbells but also other types of weights that are readily available too. Yet another fun episode, I can't help but stress about how entertaining but informative it is... And yes there is a way to walk and hike properly too. I love the changes in the art style when they do it, really adds to the funny<3
Got a little emotional at the end with how happy they all were. Pretty decent episode, really informative on beef. Again I feel super bad for Tachibana lol, she's the most unfortunate character in this entire anime. The animation is fluid, the pacing is alright and the plot is just straight up educational while being entertaining to watch.
The episode was very comical with many humorous events. Satomi Sensei find that her students go to same gym gave her some awkward feelings at first but then it was fun. Satomi's hobby is very interesting one.
Loved the Petin cameo lmfao, I enjoyed the competitiveness. The competition was hilarious and quite enjoyable. The new rival is downright adorable and extremely entertaining.
Omg sports day was fun to watch, Props to Hibiki for all that training, Her fighting spirit was quite commendable. I'm glad I've got a few pointers on how to improve my running too. This episode has also taught me to not stay in the sauna for too long! But the benefits of A sauna were some of which I wasn't aware of. Great ep! Hilarious as always. I can never get tired of Machio flexing after he hears a muscle term or something that sounds like it lol.
