Iokepa is great, very knowledgeable about nutrition and keeping your body fit and healthy. He caters our training sessions to what we need and what we can do. We're glad that we took this step and I'd recommend anyone to do the same.

I have trained at Elite Fitness for over 5 years now. Before starting with Kepa, I contacted…read moreseveral different personal trainers and Kepa was the only one who got back to me immediately to discuss my fitness goals and to schedule an in person consultation. Not only is Kepa passionate about fitness, he is passionate about helping his clients. His training extends beyond exercise and includes educating clients on nutrition and lifestyle changes. He and his team work with clients at all fitness levels and will modify exercises as needed to accommodate each client's individual ability. Having a personal trainer to guide me through each workout is invaluable since it helps me focus on proper form so that I can get through each workout safely and because each workout is fun and never the same.

I met Bill Maeda thirteen years ago. Our first encounter is a pretty amazing story that we both…read morelove sharing with people! I was at home on a Sunday afternoon, lying on the couch, procrastinating while watching TV, deciding whether or not to go to hit the gym that day. All of a sudden, this totally ripped, super cool looking Japanese guy appeared on this Spy Series television show, and I got immediately inspired and decided at that exact moment that I needed to stop procrastinating and get off the couch and go work out. I left the house and walked to the gym. I took the escalator up and as I got off at the top, I literally bumped into this totally ripped, super cool looking Japanese guy and realized that it was the same guy I had just seen on TV ! We have been friends ever since, and Bill has been my exclusive trainer since then. What I love about being trained by Bill is that he knows the importance of incorporating NEW things into your workout realm every few months. It has set the bar high for me every year of the thirteen that I have been blessed to call Bill my friend and Trainer. Bill was the first person I recall to ever say the words"kettle-bell" in Hawaii ! I am so grateful to him for always re-callibrating my whole program and way of thinking every few months since I started training under him. It keeps things from getting stale and routine and well... boring ! The body and brain really only respond and change when we give them new and challenging things to do, and in my opinion, no one teaches those principles while incorporating that theory through fresh and challenging training sessions better than Bil Maeda. Here we are all these years later, and Bill i s still inspiring me, as he did that day on TV, to get off that couch and get a great workout in every day !

I was first introduced to Bill Maeda, the man behind FitPro, two years ago by a good friend who had…read morebeen working out with Bill for several years. My first question to him was, "How can you have worked out the with same trainer for 3 years and not be bored?" My personal history is riddled with workout regimens that have come and gone because, in the end, they just get boring. Bill has kept things fresh for two years, with the goal of making me "unbreakable" -- strong and injury-free. We started with foundational exercises (push-ups, pull-ups, planks, step-ups, lunges, twisting core exercises, etc.) to make sure that I had a solid base of strength before moving on to more dynamic movements and heavier weights. At every step of the way, Bill focused on teaching strict form for every exercise. I share his belief that maintaining good form, with light or heavy weights, ensures that one gets the most out of every exercise and avoids injury. In the last two years, Bill has mixed in kettlebells (thruster, long cycle, snatch), traditional power lifting (squat, bench, deadlift), punching & kicking, sandbags, weighted swinging clubs, body weight movements, and a variety of isometric exercises. I participate in a variety of other sports and events (soccer, triathlons, obstacle races, endurance events), and Bill designs my workouts to help me prepare specifically for them.

Aloha! I've been training with Dan Kayser for 5 years. I'm a competitive 5k and distance runner…read more Through his training I've been able to improve my race times, placing 1st to top 3 in every race. More importantly, he has identified and corrected my physical imbalances. Through his method, I've been able to run more efficiently and without pain. Using Myofascial release and foot strengthening exercises and runner specific strength training, he has helped me to excel in my sport. His method and personal training system will allow me to continue to enjoy competitive running and a healthy, active lifestyle into my golden years. The private studio in Kaimuki is a clean, open, comfortable, streamlined, and inviting environment equipped with the functional tools needed to improve and employ correct movement.

I came to Alyssa with chronic pain and persistent post-concussion symptoms (also known as…read morepost-concussion syndrome). I had already done a lot of of concussion rehab but that plus my perfectionist overachiever personality had pushed my nervous system too far. My symptoms were still severely limiting my life. Alyssa was amazing in meeting me where I was at and I've grown so much through my coaching with her. She has such a calm, inviting presence, even online it shines through. The vision drills have helped my eyes calm down and I'm even able to start driving some. We worked through some chronic pain in my foot to slowly build up to me being able to walk my son to school! Alyssa is a great listener and I find our sessions are so fun because we are uncovering another layer to work on! Her calm and gentle approach to vision and vestibular exercises is the perfect speed for my nervous system. Slowly, week by week we are expanding my world and I continue to learn more about myself. She is super professional and empathetic and a genuine wonderful human being.

I started coming to Parado Power because I wanted to look as good as I possibly can for my bestie's…read moredestination wedding, which was a year ago! I've continued attending group classes because working out has sort of become a habit, and regardless how I feel before class, I always leave the gym with a blank slate. Bad day? Go to the gym. Mentally exhausted? Go to the gym. Deciding whether to send that angry email? Go to the gym. The coaches are super chill and fun, as are the members. There's a program for every body and for every goal. My weight has not changed by much but my clothes are fitting a lot better than they did a year ago and I am stronger. Sometimes the coaches nudge me to take heavier weights but I like to "pace myself" haha! Parado Power is a clean (everyone wipes down their equipment) and bright and well-ventilated gym in a convenient location. Parking is plentiful (for the most part, depending on the time) and free with validation. Towels are provided and the water dispenser was upgraded not too long ago. First class is free; visit the website and sign up for a spot in group class!

Ok here's the thing. I started going here right after Thanksgiving and managed to stay motivated…read morethrough the new year - due in large part to my awesome coach Mel and the lovely ladies of the 530 AM class! That's right - 530 AM! Believe it or not, it is NOT the earliest class - that honor goes to the 445 AM boot camp - but it's a great way to start off your day. Egan's is all about contributing to your success. There are supplements, protein snacks and drinks, and a bit of gear for sale. Parking is right on the premises at $1/hour. And there is ALWAYS parking! Everyone who works the desk greets you every time you walk in, and my coach requires a once-weekly weigh in. If you aren't trending toward your goal, she (or he) reaches out to you to talk about your variables and how you can change your trajectory. Several times a year there are also challenges to mix things up a bit. These guys are as invested as you are! Coaches are always available to you. And a weigh in isn't just a weigh in - it's a really cool overall body analysis that shows you how much water is in your system (and consequently, how much more you could have), how much of your weight is fat and how much is muscle. I know! Cool - AND it holds you accountable. The gym has an app that allows you to manage your payments and reserve a spot for classes. Membership is unlimited all access - you can go to any location at any time and take any class, multiple times a day. Yeah, people go multiple times a day! Classes are fun, but they are HIIT classes, so you do to until exhaustion. But like all fun and challenging things, you can't wait to do it again. Classes also seem to switch the instructors up as well as the workouts, so don't be concerned that you'll get bored because you won't! Even more awesome, during this COVID-19 time the gym has closed but instructors are offering any number of online classes via FB Live and Zoom so you can keep on keeping on! And they are just committed and motivating online as they were in person. I always thought I could just work out on my own and be fine. I liked doing that too. But classes appear to be something I really respond to. I like the accountability and the energy of having others participating with you. I honest to God thought I was going to pass out at my first workout. I quickly realized I was horribly dehydrated and underestimated the effects of a pre-workout protein bar and it never happened again. Egan's help you develop a real body awareness and focus, and helps you renew your commitment to your own success. If you're wondering whether you can make it through a workout, well, you're just going to have to try it. And I highly recommend that you do. You may just surprise yourself!

I love this class as the teachers motivate you in a positive way and it's great because they have accountability to keep you motivated in attending class and being interactive with your health goals. I started to feel a big difference within the first two weeks of attending and the classes run Monday, Wednesday & Friday. I had more energy. I could feel more muscle mass and even though the class is only half an hour you get an intense work workout not only cardio but muscle building. Before I started, I was in the worst shape of my life, always getting sick and feeling fatigue most of the time . After being there for about a month, I can say I have a new outlook on life and truly appreciate what they have done for me.
