The Ariake GYM-EX, formerly known as the Ariake Gymnastics Centre, is an exhibition hall and former sports arena in the Ariake district of Tokyo, Japan.[3] Opened in October 2019, the venue was originally constructed to host the gymnastics events at the 2020 Summer Olympics[4] and the boccia events at the 2020 Summer Paralympics.[5]

Following the Olympics, the venue was redeveloped by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government into an exhibition hall, renamed the Ariake GYM-EX, with the intention of promoting smaller Tokyo-area businesses. In 2023, the Tokyo Big Sight began managing the facility.
