    So fun to visit & workout here! There is everything one may need from CrossFit & Bro lifting to yoga & multidisciplinary therapeutics. Paul is a volcano of lifelong health & performance passion, expertise & evolution. Many excellent coaches from all over the world come to share enthusiasm & knowledge. So much awesomeness & Aloha! Definitely add it to your vacation schedule & you will leave vibrating high!

    My wife and I vacationed in Maui at the end of July and we had the pleasure of working out at Club Makena. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Paul and absorbing the positive energy and great vibes from Paul and the gym. Lifting weights in a traditional gym was one of the highlights of my trip! Mahalo, Paul!

    I am a terrible Stand-Up Comedian...but everyone laughs at this. Don't follow me on any social media pls, I am a terrible person. Mahalos.

    Aloha people who enjoy reading compLIMENTS or compLAINTS about places......this is MY personal experience and do not speak for others. I personally enjoy working out at this work out facility/gym. For me, the location is ideal for where I live in Kihei, and it is convenient for me as it is located in North Kihei, so after my work out, I can shower and go to town to take care of my errands. The parking is not so fun, but that is not the owners fault. There is additional parking just down of the building, which helps with a 10 second walk warm-up to the gym. I enjoy the fact that the garage doors are always open for the kool-Kihei breeze to come through and keep the gym cool. Majority of the equipment works, as it is a gym, and equipment sometimes from guest, will always find a way to not take care of the equipment which can halt certain work outs, until the parts are ordered and the equipment is repaired. In EVERY gym, you have your prideful-narcissist walking around like they are some kind of UFC fighter and own the place, but in this particular place, I found out that just a humble smile will get you (majority of the time) a positive reply back. If you are a neat-freak, do not expect this facility to always have clean corners, because the wind will always find a way to bring little leaves into the facility.....but come on, who goes to a gym and complains about leaves being on the ground. Moving on....I love that this gym is pet friendly. The dogs there are always kind....and I look forward to seeing a shark tank there someday. When it comes to financial budget, you get what you pay for.....and although this is a higher price gym facility, go to other gyms and simply compare what you are paying for.(do not compare to Planet Fitness......because lets face it....its Planet Fitness.) When you pay to play, you want the best for your money, and I feel I can get what I pay for out of The Gym Maui/Makena CrossFit. I am sure I am not covering everything that someone who reads this may not get the information they need, but the best thing you can do, is simply get a day pass by Coach Paul and get a quick tour and try a class out and see if you can meet new acquaintances that you can wake up every day, or every other day to look forward to, to come work out at this particular facility and stay fit and healthy with your life journey. I have no credibility, but this is my experience and if you were to ask me, "Hey, would you recommend The Gym Maui/Makena CrossFit?" .....I would reply yes, go get fit! Respectfully, Callahan Welsh, the guy that's trying to lose fat weight. :)

    UPDATE 04/08/2020 the boxes reached out and has resolved my issue. Thank you guys for taking care of this! Stay safe Dropped in while on vacation on Maui back in December. They had a great price 2 for $30 which beat the other boxes. I bought a ladies tank ($26) for a friend and 2 men's tees ($30/each) which would both need to be shipped, all paid in full. When I received the 2 men's tees 3 weeks later, one was the wrong color. I contacted the owner Paul, who was also the guy that placed my order. He said their printers could not produce red and expected to get this resolved in February. I followed up with him again in February and now no response. When your business relies on tourists and drop ins, you should be proactive to make them happy. There are several choices in Maui and I will suggest other boxes unless this

    All about proper form and fun plus a little ice bath

    Great workout at Makena CrossFit. We are new to CrossFit and try to get in a few days. Always different and a challenge. Paul gives through instruction mad takes the time to show new people the proper form. He really has passion for the business and this shows in the positive attitude of the space. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed. Finished off today with an ice bat

    Weights and WOD

    Came here on vacation and had a fantastic time. Paul was very friendly, and did a great job coaching class. Looking forward to visiting again the next time I'm back in Maui.

    With Paul, the owner.

    Welcomed in by Paul, the owner, who coached the 8am class on Tuesday morning. The full sixty minutes was well designed with a warm-up, strength and skill work, WOD, and concluded with a active cool down. Paul gives individual attention to each athlete providing coaching and feedback to improve form and skill. The gym itself is equipped with all you need to get it done as well as a shower to clean-up and head out for your day. A bit pricey for drop in; $30, and parking was limited. All that being said, I'll be back the next time I'm in Kihei.

    The WODs were fun and Coach Paul made sure I did not over do it by bringing over the "lighter" weights!

    This place means well, but is still pretty shadey. I've been here on and off for 10 years…read more Some things always broken, and when it's down.. it stays down. AC was broke for a long time. Like unusually long. Yet us customers are still paying top dollar to attend. Makes ya wonder where the real priorities lie sometimes. Cancellation policy super confusing and they try to get you to commit to just one more month, but when you are broke and need to just cancel... it should be that easy. Planet Fitness Kahului is the BOMB at this! Owner and daughter (and now grandaughter) are all super cool. I love that it is family runned. It's just for such a high monthly fee, I'd hope they'd be more on it with the essentials. Like Air. Working machines. Helpful cancellation directions, Competent staff! ... When the cat [... Kat ;) ] is away, the mice will play.

    Many machines do not work. Rude owner when I made a reasonable request. He could not care less…read moreabout my issue. Just ignored me. Not true is wants to make sure he takes care of kupuna. Maybe because I am not Hawaiian. I see his commerical on Maui Daily Report and that is why I tried out the gym. Big mistake if you want to work out. I know many kupuna attend the classes which are probaly ok but as a working gym I recommend South Maui Fitness instead.

    As a client of Chad, I was immediately taken by his knowledge of human anatomy and his…read moreresponsiveness to the needs and desires of his clientele. So much more than a trainer, Chad is able to determine "where you are" in terms of your baseline condition and develop a plan. He will help you to achieve your ultimate goals in health and fitness if you are committed to that plan and the incremental steps as well. I found his approach very safe and sensible, beginning with an intake assessment which simply required that I follow a couple demonstration videos that he made conveniently available online. In the follow-up personal consultation, he discussed my health history, reviewed the results of the assessment and presented a plan for conditioning. He will ensure that you have core strength and stability first before moving forward. He was very kind to demonstrate the exercises and explain the logic behind them, so it was total "buy-in" from my standpoint! Chad's a real professional. Trained as a therapist and educator, he's articulate and easy-going. Reach out to him for an assessment or to move your fitness, athletic training or state-of-mind to a whole new level!

    Chad was able to get me back to my long, tough hikes pain free after a year and a half of trying…read moreeverything else Kaiser and others had to offer. I knew I had underlying functional and structural issues that were not being addressed by the symptomatic treatment. Chad was able to help interrupt many old, incorrect patterns of movement and the restrictions causing them and provided the best set of exercises for me to follow to help maintain them. I am a horse vet who does acupuncture and movement rehab and have a great team of people to help keep me as functional as possible, but until I added Chad into the mix I was getting progressively more restricted in what I could accomplish. His profound knowledge of form to function and how to work with all of the different systems of the body to help restore health has taught me so much. As mentioned in other reviews, he truly listens and observes with great care. His "tool box" of techniques when doing bodywork or prescribing exercises to modify precisely is pretty vast! I now primarily use Chad's online coaching to keep me on track, and have been able to keep progress ongoing despite the pandemic. I even got my husband to see him a few times, and it has interrupted chronic hamstring and calf pain that was regularly laying him up from competitive running. He also is now doing the online coaching, and has made use of FaceTime to have changes to his training addressed during this strange time.
