If you are travelling in to peak for a meet: we keep an Eleiko IPF-certified competition combo rack on the floor. Eleiko was founded in 1957 and has been the IPF's Official Equipment Partner since 2009 (source). The seal row bench and the Cable Cross 120kg are Eleiko too. the Eleiko page
B.A.D. GYM URAWA is one minute on foot from the west exit of Kita-Urawa Station on the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line. One stop earlier is Omiya, where all six shinkansen lines - Tohoku, Hokkaido, Akita, Yamagata, Joetsu and Hokuriku - stop. Get off the shinkansen at Omiya: three local stops, seven minutes. From northern Japan, Shinetsu and Hokuriku, this can be closer than a gym in central Tokyo.
