Finding a workout place abroad is not easy task, isn't it.
When it comes to Japan, it gets worse because the private fitness industry worships the membership based system.
On the other hands, the fitness gym in community center offers "hourly" rate (i mean per 2 hours, 3 hours, or daily usually depends on the community center you choose) and it's very cheap.
Here is the one for you in Meguro!

Space
It is OK size. It is not huge at all, but I myself did not feel too small.
As long as you are focus on the whatever the objective of the visit e.g., finish the training by 1 hour, do particular training menu, and so on, you should not care much about the size of the training room unless it is just too small.
The selection of the training equipment is also OK, not many though.
Design: They got simple gym design where they got one smith machine placed in center of free-weight training area and rest are basically for weigh-stack resistance machines.
Located on: the first floor which is the same floor as building entrance. If you enter the building or even from outside you can see the gym. The locker room is also on the same floor and they got free shower room too.
