I love the challenge, I love the community, and I love the results. The instructors are motivating and the workout itself is tough but gratifying.

It's smaller than Honolulu but they use the space effectively. After I got off the stairmill, I walked around to look at the equipment. He: Hey Mike Me: Yes. He: Your membership only gives you access to the location you signed up at. Me: Oh, I didn't know that. I signed up online. He: But you are good to work out here today. You just might want to look over your membership. I think there's a level that gives you access to all. Me: Thanks! Jason was great! Polite and courteous and made me feel welcomed even though I didn't read the fine print...LOL! I would definitely be back if I change to the next level of membership. Again, it has a great layout!

A Truly Special Part of UFC GYM Kailua…read more I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Kavika, who works in the childcare at UFC GYM Kailua. This isn't about one specific interaction...it's about the way Kavika consistently shows up for the kids. Every time we come to the gym, he is so loving, caring, patient, and genuinely playful with them. He makes the childcare feel like a place where my kids are not just being watched, but are actually cared for and valued. My kids get excited to go to the gym because they get to see Kavika. They talk about him all the time! As a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing your children are with someone who genuinely enjoys being around them and makes them feel safe, happy, and welcomed. Kavika deserves to be recognized for the impact he has. The consistency, kindness, and positive energy he brings to the childcare absolutely does not go unnoticed. Employees like him are incredibly valuable, and I truly hope UFC GYM recognizes what a special person they have in him. I hope and pray they are able to keep Kavika around for a very long time, because people like him are hard to find. He has made our family's experience at UFC GYM so great and we are genuinely grateful for him. Thank you, Kavika, for being so wonderful with my kids!

The drop in process was really simple, I downloaded the app and once I received the code to join, I was able to sign the waiver, pay the fee and register for the class of my choice. This place reminds me of some of the earlier CrossFit Gyms that I have worked out in. A decent sized indoor space with large rolling doors that open up to a spectacular view! There was ample space and the group was warm and welcoming! Plenty of equipment and everything I needed to get in a great workout. Coach Rachel was engaging and well organized, kept you going starting with a great warm-up which mirrored the exercises of the day and gave good instruction as to how to do each exercise and excellent feedback. The atmosphere was so comfortable, I felt as if I were back home. The WOD was both fun and challenging, I left feeling tired but nothing a nap on the beach wouldn't cure. I would totally recommend this gym to anyone who is a local looking to find a great place to workout or if you are visiting from out of town and want to work out some of those vacation calories!

He was also very eager to accommodate my program based on the exercises that I was able to do and the ones that I wasn't - he did not force me to do certain workouts, but instead suggested alternatives to those exercises. He was very good at checking in via e-mail and text. Jono also helped me put up a program when I had to travel, and for those weeks in which I wouldn't be able to hit the gym (all of them very good exercises).

Only 2 sessions and have a good sore that I am familiar with, albeit seems like FOREVER AGO, I'm in my late 50's. A very good thing. No bad hurt just normal workout soreness.

I've only done two of the small groups so far but I feel taken care of. At first I was thinking, dang these people are young, no experience. Wrong. They know their business. Gianna acquainted me with the machines. She's very knowledgeable, personable AND friendly, (kind of a hoot actually) and gave me all kinds of tips for my personal current abilities. This place is CLEAN, the machines are current and top notch. Back to the small classes...Even thou you are with a group, it's at your own pace. They watch you closely and help you correct your form.

Ingrid has routines for all body muscle groups. She is keen to watch and correct my form and knows when I need to change up to my routine.

Unfortunately, I wasn't making progress with my doctor or physical therapy, so I decided to give Miles a try--and what a difference this last year has made! I can't thank Miles enough for listening to me, building a connection, and helping me develop good habits. The knowledge he's shared about how my body works and what I can do to improve my movement and overall health has been everything. Miles personalizes each workout session, taking into account factors like weather, injuries, and even my mood. He always comes prepared with equipment (sled, kettle bells, jump rope, bands, etc.) and a game plan and explains it in a way I can understand and incorporate into my daily life. The motivation and support were perfect, when I needed a push, he gave it and when I needed some time, he respected that, he figured out what I needed to get going and that is something that doesn't come easy with my personality, haha. As for results, Miles has far exceeded any expectations I had for him or myself. I'm now back to walking on the beach, enjoying hikes, and gradually increasing my daily movement, showing up for myself. My days are mostly free of knee pain, and I have a new motivation to keep moving. 100% recommend!
