At first glance I was completely drawn to this Box. It is quite unique compared to many boxes around the globe, let alone Japan. Split apart by an underpass, you’ve got the box on one side and a cafe with an extended gym area, shower rooms etc. On the other. There’s nice big windows that bring in natural sunlight and even a decent view of the beautiful Kobe Mountains. Awesome, knowledgeable coaches who, on a daily basis, acknowledge all of their members upon seeing them. It has also been incredibly nice of Maiko and Keith to offer their support and recommendations, being a foreigner here in Japan. The owners and coaches take complete pride in their space and keep it tidy and well stocked. And classes run punctually, which is always appreciated. Not to mention the bonus of them all being bilingual. As the majority of CrossFit Communities, the members make it a very welcoming space. Additionally, the owners and coaches organize fun gatherings on a monthly basis. I highly recommend PTCF. Whether you are visiting or are here for a long-term.

The coaches have a solid knowledge and skill when it comes to training people, attentive and approachable. The members are very friendly, overall an awesome community. The box has most of the equipments you'd need to get in a good workout. The cafe next door is where you can hang out as you get your caffeine fix or protein smoothies. The shower area is equipped with the basics (towels, hair dryer, shampoo and body soap).

Very knowledgeable and skilled coaches who speak both Japanese and English! All the coaches and members are super friendly and welcoming. So glad I found this CrossFit community :)

I dropped in to do the 20.3 this week. Keith and the other staff were very welcoming. The facilities were very good. Nice open space with good quality equipments. They have a shower place and even provide free towels for me to use. Very nice setup and I would definitely drop in again if I’m in the area again. Thanks Keith for being my judge for 20.3!

Amazing training program with knowledgeable coaches. I was able to develop skills and strength along the last year. And as in all CrossFit communities there are a strong friendship between the members. Thank you very much.

A highlight of my trip to Japan. The team were so friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. Quick to respond and a space enviable of most CrossFit gyms, I am excited to come back and train more with this amazing team and community. Thanks so much for letting me drop in 😁

Dropped in as a one time visitor. What a great Crossfit box. Super clean, trainers know their stuff, great programming, showers, smoothie bar, and the owner is super nice. Can’t recommend this gym enough!!

Great place to be. I’ve been to a couple CrossFit in the US this by far my favorite. Coaches are really good in modifying your moves if you have some slight limitation. They have very understanding and really breaks down the form piece by piece. They are very patient and well organized workout.

This is a great CrossFit box with lots of nice equipment and functional space. The box is clean, custom and stylish. They have a fantastic team of highly trained and experienced coaches who put real effort into good programming; always teaching proper body mechanics and functional movements. The atmosphere at PTCF exudes positivity as the team and members share encouragement and are very supportive. The staff are warm, welcome and always available for any questions in English and or Japanese. The Cafe' is a nice place to relax and cool down after a workout and enjoy a healthy snack. The staff/coaches at PTCF always put in that extra step and in return the PTCF box/community is a place you want to keep coming back to continue a path of health and fitness.

As with all of Japan I was made to feel exceptionally welcome here. The facilities are excellent and the programming for the day was absolutely superb. Keith was incredibly helpful and gave some excellent pointers for my front squat. I’d highly recommend this gym to anyone who is dropping by Kobe!

Awesome box - great vibe, friendly team and members. Will definitely go back!

Very clean and cool location, with a very welcoming atmosphere and great equipment. Keith, my trainer today, knows exactly how far to push and where to stop. Great teacher and amazing training experience! Thank you! Will be back soon ;-)

The Port Tower CrossFit coaches are very friendly and have great teaching skills, and I had a great time. I would like to join your class when I come to Kobe again.

Great box! Stylish, clean, good equipment and most important nice coaches and members! I would definitely come back next time in Kobe.

Had a great drop-in experience here, the coaches and other members were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back any time I'm in Kobe :)

Just a passing visit being a CrossFit nomad, though “Wow!” on every level - a really welcoming box with a great coach that caters for every level and a great atmosphere. Thank you 🙏

I had never tried CrossFit before and honestly felt intimidated. My nervousness faded away when I showed up. Each person I spoke with was a nice mix of warm and welcoming but also serious about fitness. Keith did a great job of pushing everyone with personalized guidance and overall creating a great atmosphere. He even took time after the workout to explain some of the theory behind CrossFit. If I lived in Kobe, I would've signed up to become a member on the spot! I cannot recommend Port Tower CrossFit enough - if you're on the fence, just go! You will be happy you did.
