As a mom of three, this is the one workout I've been able to stay truly consistent with, because it feels supportive, energizing, and easy to make a priority in my day. What really stands out is how intentional the coaches are. They focus on safe form, they challenge you to grow at your own pace, and they genuinely take the time to get to know each member so they can encourage you in the way you need. All of the coaches are fantastic, but a special shout-out to Pamela, Jess, Duncan, and Ruby their encouragement and attention to detail have made such a difference in my fitness journey. It's more than just a gym, it's a community I feel grateful to be part of. Highly recommend!

I dunno why it's taken me so long to write this review...I've actually been coming here for 3 years…read morenow. As someone who has never worked out before this, never played any sports, nor has ever stepped foot in any kind of gym this was a big step for me in getting healthier and loosing some weight. Now 3 years later i'm not super buff or supper fit and cut, but i am fitter than I have ever been, I can do a pull up, deadlift more than my weight, back squat my weight, and actually miss going to work out when i haven't gone for more than 2 weeks. One of the things i like the most about crossfit is that i don't have to think or worry about what to work on, I just go in and do what ever is programmed on the board. Also there are coaches there to help with your form and posture so you don't get injured which is really important especially for someone who has never done any of the movements before. Having a group of people sufferin...i mean working out and sweating with you builds a bit of camaraderie and if you consistently go to the same time you get to know those who also go at that time better. The most important thing to keep in mind is not to compare yourself to others while working out. More so work on your own personal best, I don't do too much one rep max because that isn't what i'm into, but I do feel like i grow in strength and stamina over the years even if it's not that apparent.

After years of hearing about CrossFit, I decided to sign up for a month of the basics course at…read moreCrossFit Hawaii located downtown. I had read off-putting issues with CrossFit and its most devout adherents, including high risk of injury and a cult-like following, but I wanted to go in with an open mind and see how CrossFit works for myself. As with any large organization, your experience with CrossFit may depend on the individual box you decide to go to. I think CrossFit Hawaii is a great box with instructors who care about your safety and comfort level. Establishing safety and correct form are important when starting CrossFit to avoid serious injuries later on. The basics course does just that by making sure that members know how to do proper squats, pull-ups, and push presses. Despite the reputation that CrossFit has of attracting overly competitive athletic types into extreme sports, my experience was that the members at CrossFit Hawaii were friendly, supportive, and ranged in age and fitness levels. The basic course's Workout of the Day (WOD) was informative and challenging for a beginner. I sweat more in only ten minutes at CrossFit than I typically do working out for an hour at a big box gym. For people who lack discipline at the gym, CrossFit instructors provide the motivation needed to complete high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts in order to burn more fat and calories. It was tough, but I left feeling that I had accomplished a lot, and that my body was getting stronger with every session. The basic course is three times each week, something I appreciated after my first class because I was very sore. It took me a full day for my body to recover and my muscles to rebuild. My conclusion is that CrossFit is what you make of it. There will be always be people who will injure themselves by doing more than what they can handle, but the basic course at CrossFit Hawaii teaches proper form to prevent that from happening. I would recommend the basic course to beginners and advanced CrossFitters. I haven't decided if I will continue to go to CrossFit, but I did learn useful techniques and exercises that I can take with me to my big box gym. CrossFit also made me realize the importance of HIIT in order to reach my weight and fitness goals.

I dropped by this cozy boxing gym on a rainy Friday morning while visiting family in Honolulu and was blown away by this place. From the moment I walked through the door, everyone was warm and welcoming-- no egos here, thank goodness! The space is well appointed, with a variety of heavy bags, including the wrecking ball ones, speeds bags, and a weight training area. Looks like they may have gloves for use too, but I brought my own and didn't inquire. Coach Mike started us out with some warm up and stretching, a little jogging and shadow boxing. The bulk of class was focused on partnered drills, mixing slips and rolls into the combinations which was EXCELLENT. This was the type of class I was hoping for! I learned quite a bit, and am thankful it never felt too advanced for me. (I took my first class back home at McConnell's Boxing Academy in Portland only six months ago.) I'll be taking some of these drills home to continue practicing. Class ended with a circuit of conditioning drills and mitt work with Coach Mike. All in all, excellent experience, and I'll definitely be going back!

I started during COVID when classes became available online, which is great for folks like me who cannot make it to weekday classes due to work, family and other commitments. I was turning 60 and I needed to start taking care of myself.

I have a great coach Jaden, who checks up on me and keeps me motivated. There are times when I stop working out due to work and other commitments, but then I get the reminder from Jaden who checks up on me and keeps me honest. Thanks to Egan, Marcia, Jaden and all of the coaches for all you do!

I've only been coming to bootcamp for a week and a half, but I already know it will change my life…read more Self-motivation is my greatest exercise enemy. That was my #1 reason for giving Egan's Fit Body Bootcamp a shot. (Thank you Kyle H. for the recommendation!...bee tee dubs, Kyle H. is a bootcamp ROCKSTAR & is starting to teach her own classes at their downtown location! What a BadA$$!!!) Bootcamp is awesome. Plain & simple. Here's why: + You're basically getting a personal training session every time you go. The classes are very small so you get a lot of one-on-one attention from your trainer. The trainers truly care about you, they learn your name right away, and they encourage you and push you to your limits in the best most energetic way possible! + Every workout is challenging for ALL fitness levels! I know, you must see that a lot. I used to go to group exercise classes that claimed they were "great for all fitness levels" but I didn't even break a sweat. At bootcamp, EVERYONE (including the buffest of men) sweats from beginning to end! Everyone is gasping for air & working really hard! All of the workouts can be tailored to your fitness level and can be modified, and your trainers are always more than happy to help you modify your workout. + Every workout is different, so your body will never get used to the same work out over and over and over. + No weights! I was a weight lifter...and I HATEDDDDD cardio with every fiber of my being! But bootcamp utilizes TRX bands, MMA skills, weighted balls, giant ropes, suspensions, giant rubber bands, sliders, and your own body weight to create a perfect and FUN mix of cardio and strength training. Walking up stairs no longer makes me wheeze. Anyone who knows me knows that's a HUGE accomplishment! + Everyone is friends. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Everyone takes the time to introduce themselves to you, learn your name, and encourage you throughout the workout. Some people will give you the kindest encouragement, others will generously dish out tough love ;) + Classes start at 5am. WHAT?! That's right. This early bird was STOKED to hear that! Not only can I finally utilize my early morning energy that no one appreciates (I'm not offended, my morning energy is really obnoxious), but I can get my daily workout over with by 6am. HALLELUJAH! + Nutrition, weight, and body fat analysis is included! I am weighing in every week and testing my body fat percentage. They also gave me an exercise & food journal. I have a 2 month goal. If I make it, I can continue on to a new goal. + Bootcamp costs more than your typical gym membership...but if you consider the intimate training, nutrition plans, weight and BF tracking, and INCREDIBLE support system...it's truly worth EVERY penny! (Plus, if you're like me...you'll want to go everyday to get your moneys worth!) ;) If you're thinking about joining Egan's Bootcamp, give it a shot, you get 1 week free!

I would even suggest a beach towel because the floor is padded for MMA training. Everyone seems to know each other really well. It's clear this is a close knit group. Mostly aunties were at this bootcamp, but boy they could kick my booty! If I was in a hunger games match, I would ally with them. We started with some stretching and balance moves before we moved on to the famous "box" plank. This was followed by a pushup circuit. I thought I was pretty strong in my pushups, but the padded floor forces you to focus on pushing up instead of back on the plyo pushups. You will be barefoot this entire time as well. One point for me for handling the one handed pushups woohoo! We spent the rest of the class partnered up. From box jumps to resistance band moves, you relied on your partner heavily throughout the remainder of the class. It really adds a sense of camaraderie among the students. At the end you clean up the mat because we sweat all over that place. It's such a different take on the bootcamp concept, but I will return for my "auntie" butt kicking next week.
