Located in Egan's Boot Camp Honolulu on Punahou Street, HoloHIIT offers strength, HIIT, and yoga flow classes.
My favorite classes are Kupa'a and Hapa. I like the use of props in Hapa including loop band, yoga block, pilates ball, etc. I think they only provide 5 and 10 lb dumbbells.
Classes are held downstairs in the jiu jitsu room so it's comfortably padded. You can store your belongings in either cubbies or locker room. The room is spacious, nicely dim, and with mirrors across 3 walls. It's warm immediately when you enter. The mats closest to the heaters receive direct heat. I've taken heated classes at other studios and was surprised how much sweatier I got here. Class size is max 20 so I can only assume how much hotter it can get with a full class. Clean space and they swifter mop the floor after classes. Please know that they have an aromatherapy diffuser going in the room, in case you're sensitive to essential oils. The cold towel they place on your temple during savasana is a nice treat.
Membership comes with full access to the main gym, sauna, cold plunge, and locker room with showers. HoloHIIT checks off all the boxes in what makes a gym membership worth the money, especially if we compare it to boutique fitness studios who don't even offer basic things such as bathrooms or water dispensers. However, they have a limited selection of class times, most scheduled very early in the morning. While the perks are nice, I cannot commit to an unlimited membership -- let alone 2x a week -- based on the limited classes times and class types offered at the moment.
HoloHIIT has a lot of potential and I am looking forward to seeing this studio grow. Here's some suggestions: 1) an app would be great, the website is not mobile friendly, and 2) get some classes started at Egan's Pearl City! read more
