Katie is an incredible fitness instructor and personal trainer. She's encouraging and keeps you…read moremotivated throughout the entire workout. Also, she makes it fun by making you do exercises you never even knew before, but the ones that make the "difficult" areas shrink. I've had a true luck and honor to find Katie during my trip to Maui and in just 7 short days of working out with her 1:1 and taking her group classes I saw some great progress and felt / saw good results. For context, I worked out with personal trainers in the past so my "bar" is high and Katie is right on top and above that bar. I was truly impressed with Katie's professionalism, level of preparation for classes, hardcore/challenging but at the same fun exercises, and attention to me. I hope to be back to Maui and to take her classes again!!

After moving to Wailuku from Kihei I was not liking the local gyms and my husband had a co-worker who found Yanagida Fitness. I went to one group workout, loved it, signed up for two free weeks and have been there ever since. Justin has a team of coaches who guide you through a 45 min workout that is never boring and always feels good. You are invited to go at your own pace. My favorite coach is Shannon on M-W-F 9am. This is a homegrown gym with little frills but big on motivation. Come here if you need group pressure to get you moving, easy exciting Tabata style workouts and are afraid of gyms and weight machines. Use what G-d gave you and come get fit with the gang! Come on in and try for free! Justin is good like that. The workout and Ohana is all the sales pitch you need.

I find the 545am works for me. A few months working out and I have more energy. I can also keep up with my 2 1/2 yr Gi-baby at my age. They help modify exercises because of my knee injury. It keeps me on track and helps me not want to give up. I NOW look forward to working out. Just want to say THANK YOU Justin and his fabulous coaches. I have felt nothing but love, motivation and positive vibes. Justin, his coaches and the members are an awesome fit family to be a part of.

I live on Maui and I was excited to see an add in the Maui Times for SUP classes as well as other…read morefitness classes. I'd been wanting to try Stand Up Paddle boarding, but wanted some guidance. I ended up trying Jen's Yoga class, Ty's Bootcamp and Jen's SUP class. I recommend all of them. Both Ty and Jen are great teachers. They listen to your needs and abilities to challenge you, but also give you options if you're rehabbing an injury or have an physical limitations. Ty's Bootcamp is a fun, challenging class. He combines cardio intervals with strength sets...no weighs needed. It can be as intense as you make it. I love this because the class intensity isn't based on the level of the participants. You can push yourself or choose to take it easier. You'll earn that poolside Mai Tai after this one. The SUP class was for all levels. Now if you're very experienced then it's probably not for you, but who knows you could still have fun. Jen taught us how to carry the boards, get them in & out of the water, basic maneuvers on the boards then we did a few vinyasa flows. The soft waves add a real challenge. I fell in 3 times, but hey that means I'm learning...which was kinda the point. Look up getgladmaui.com and go take a class or two wether you're on vacation or live here.

Jen was a patient and very encouraging teacher. She pushes you to challenge yourself and to make sure you're having fun at the same time. Jen specializes in helping women who are new to water sports to get into them. She was also great with my husband who joined me in the lesson. He wasn't initially that interested in spending the money on the lesson, but after the lesson was over, he couldn't stop talking about how great the sport is and how great a teacher Jen was. He was immediately trying to see when he could go out again and how to get his own board. Jen stressed what a good sport it is for families to do together. My kids were so excited that I tried something out of my comfort zone and are looking forward to me joining them in more beach activities (instead of sitting on the sand watching them play). Thanks Jen for making our trip to Maui one to remember!

If you have the StreamFit app you'll see each day's description and results to keep track of announcements and personal progress. You'll also view coaches, members and competition. The coaching staff and members are awesome and encouraging. Each and every workout they go through proper movements, posture, scaling, and activity for safety. During the workout they will correct posture, announce timing or remind you of the next set to start. This is particularly helpful when there is a complex movement or heavy weight to achieve. Ambiance is spartan, no gym bros, gals or mirrors. Fully equipped with a rig, bars, DB, weights, rowers, benches, bikes, boxes and mats. I love the option to workout inside the box or outside to capture the breeze and view clouds, chicks, Puu Kukui and Lower Main towards the ocean. You never know what you'll get, so it's truly an entire body workout if you can stick with it for several months. At the least your daily cardio will be rewarded as everyday it's a workout challenge as a group. Paired with a revised diet, you can lose weight, gain lungs and increase muscle and flexibility.
