Tokyo is Getting an E-Sports Gym:
An E-sports gym is opening in Tokyo. They'll have computers, tutors (as a replacement for personal trainers?) and pros on staff to teach you how to play the games.
I guess calling it a gym now instead of an "Internet cafe" is the next logical step after it became E-sports instead of just "playing computer games". Will the tutors yell at you like some kind of drill sergeant? L2P NOOB!
[Ed. Note: "esports GYM" is what is displayed in the window and on their monitors; reporting variously presents it as "E-Sports Gym", "Esports Gym", and "Esports gym". For the etymologists in our midst, see gym and gymnasium.]
