This place is just Ah-MAZINGGGG!!!! I called Coach Paul before I landed in Maui and came there straight on day 1 to join a gym in a new city for an extended vacation. My time in Maui would not be the same without Club Makena or Coach Paul. The workouts are intense but coach breaks it down so a newbie like me could see progress on my movement, strength, and flexibility in no time! Also very helpful to dial in my nutrition with the on site meal prep service and supplement stack. The community here is so supportive and kind! Felt like a big hug every morning when I walked in. The best gift I've given to myself was to join this gym. Thank you feels too small for what the gym and Coach P have done for me and my husband. Our health is back! If you're local Hawaiian or a worldwide traveler you must stop by here! read more

The best gym in the world, I miss jogging here everyday. The staff is so encouraging and equipment is always clean and they don't try to harass you for a contract or anything like that. read more

Aloha! Coach Paul Romero is an absolute legend. Grateful for this gym. The above and beyond aloha. Great facility.

Amazing gym. Not only does it have more barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and racks than I've ever seen, it's also got a lot of obscure but useful fitness equipment I can't often consistently find at other gyms (ex. ab roller, sledgehammer, sled). Owner was super nice and helpful and facilitated a really friendly and high-energy vibe at the gym (during CrossFit sessions). read more

The Gym Maui is my favorite gym on Maui because first of all the owner is the nicest most friendly and kind person. The gym is very clean, inviting and has any equipment I can ever ask for. The machines are well cared for, people are very warm and the gym also Has a very great shoes and merchandise on hand. Come here for the best gym experience!!! read more

very pleasant experience. Every morning, I arrived right when they opened and had the whole gym to myself. I really enjoyed the indoor/outdoor environment this offers, the owner was also very kind and personable :). They even have the cutest dog walking around the gym too. All the equipment is old style equipment, which I also enjoyed. I would 10/10 recommend it for a gym away from home. Traveled from CA to Maui for a week - purchased a 3 day pass for about $60 (?). Worth it - they have cold plunge, two saunas, the upstairs that's all cardio Equipment and a place to stretch out. read more

The Gym Maui - Gyms Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Great spot. Best single day or multi day deals (especially if there's 2 of you). Full recovery room with sauna/icebath and red light therapy. Has a cardio floor, tons of power racks with westside barbell hole spacing, and all the machines you'd find in any commercial gym. Has an entire crossfit area in the back, and It's located in an industrial park, so it has roll-up doors that open up to plenty of space to perform whatever wod you have that day. If ur a geek for gym equipment and specialty equipment, this place has all the bells and whistles of someone who has spent a lifetime with a passion for everything fitness. They even had pre-made meals that were shockingly good. Not mass produced, locally made, and even had vegan options read more

I am saddened to give this gym a one star rating because I believe in the life changing fitness they likely bring to their clients. However, I am completely against them making personal choices for me. At the door, I was greeted by a large sign that said "Masks Not Allowed." As a mom with Lupus, I respect everyone's personal choice, to mask, unmask, to vaccinate or not vaccinate, to lift with a back brace or to lift without, to consume protein before or after a workout. Your body, you choice. I am disappointed that as a member of your community, you wouldn't encourage me make decisions for myself; to do what is right for me. I do the same for you. That said, if you are trying to "discourage" mask use for the sake of medical reasons, such as possible shortness of breath while working out, I would kindly suggest rewording your verbiage to be less oppressive. read more

The Gym Maui - Masks Not Allowed - Gyms Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

The Gym Maui is incredibly dynamic with what you're aiming to change for yourself. The options for your goals are limitless. Cardio machines are present such as treadmills, rowers, ellipticals and much more. Free weight racks are awesome to have, and your range with gains in strength training and body building are readily available. If the free weights are too much to handle for you, there's varying machines at the ready that are great alternatives. Benches and safety support equipment are lined up for everyone to use. (I'd like to mention this, if you're going to workout here, please put back your equipment and wipe down your sweat off the seats and benches after each use. We're just keeping it clean and safe here.) Back to the review. Although from time to time there's big, muscular guys working out, please don't be intimidated, they're the coolest guys that'll spot you when asked nicely, and they'll provide plentiful information to target your goals. Throughout the week, there's classes you're able to sign up for like yoga and much more. But if you're looking for high intensity, don't look far, Makena Crossfit are operating under the same roof from early in the morning and into the evening. HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training is their goal, and their training schedule is dynamic, so you won't get bored doing the same routines every week. After a long session, the showers and restrooms are available for members to use, always clean and tidy. There's no cons in my opinion but to others it may: 1) There's no AC, the only thing cooling you down is the breeze from the outside air circulating around the gym. All doors are open for circulation. 2) Gym equipment are heavily used to an extent of wear and tear is visible, however, staff carefully maintain them on a daily basis. A gym that Arnold would've gladly worked out in. 3) Crossfit is under the same roof, so it's going to be loud and certain folks don't like loud noises. It's obviously not a library. I love this gym, the staff are always welcoming and supportive, especially fellow gym goers, just ask for help and we'll do what we can. Please call Coach Paul for an appointment to tour the gym. Have a great day and a safe tomorrow. :) read more

Best gym on the planet! Awesome community! Awesome coaches! Awesome gym! I've been to dozens of gyms this is hands down my favorite. Aloha.

Great spot! I had everything I needed for world class training experience. Paul and the crew took care of me and my son. Good place, good energy and good people. This is my spot when I'm in Maui ! read more

Aloha to everyone that cares to read this. As the old janitor that used to work here, I personally love this place. I had the honor of working here at one point in my life. I am very greatful I had professional mentors like Donna, Steve, Scott, Kimo and some other's to educate me about healthy living and mission accomplishment's. I used to clean toilets here, and proud I had this opportunity to come work on myself for the better. If you want your health care, this is one of many akamai and pono places to push yourself and be surrounded by kind and professional people. Stay happy and healthy Maui County. Please don't follow me on Instagram @callahanwelsh_ Sorry for looking ugly. #AnotherMauiComedian ;) read more

The Gym Maui - Aloha. Sorry for looking ugly. I miss cleaning toilets here. I this place. - Gyms Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

If get one place I gotta hit up every time I fly back to Maui, it's this gym. The owners make me feel like coming home all the time. I live in AZ now and I always look forward to hitting up this spot. Coach Paul and his wife are not just about the business but they make the effort to know your name, how you're doing and make you feel like ohana read more

The Maui gym/Crossfit Makena is a must do if you're into fitness and visiting Maui. There is a huge array of equipment and Paul, the owner, is an excellent instructor and makes exercising so much fun! We first visited CrossFit Makena in lune and had so much fun we came back during our short stay this time. When visiting Maui, going to CrossFit Makena is synonymous with heading to the beach or playing a little golf. Thank you, Paul, for providing this opportunity and persevering these last few years. Good luck, friend.....til next time..... (As an aside, when I first published this review a month ago, for some inexplicable reason, Yelp published my review with 3 stars....I am not happy!!. I have updated the review with 5 stars and would give 10 if that were possible.) read more

Pro tip. If you're visiting and want to meet people and get the inside track, this is the spot. The owner Paul is always around and super nice. He can connect you directly with people to make your trip super unique. Cool stuff you'll likely not find on Google. Also the gym is super dialed in. Clean and great classes too. read more

The Gym / Makena Crossfit is hands down one of the best gym's I have visited. If you are looking for a safe, supportive, and engaging exercise environment, this is the gym for you. Paul, Zach and team provide a comprehensive training curriculum, with Crossfit, Yoga, workshops, etc available, and have created a loving and supportive community amongst the gym members. This is more than a gym, it is a lifestyle! Thank you for having us over the last two months, it made our trip one to remember! read more

This place has a wonderful atmosphere! Today I did (Yin) Yoga which was a great way the get the blood moving before an intense ab class. Coming from a weightlifting background, the individual coaching I've gotten during Crossover class has taken my fitness to the next level . Best gym in Maui hands down read more

The Gym Maui - Gyms Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Hands down one of the best gyms in the world. Large open area's with fresh air always flowing in. Constant updates and a traditional pumping iron feel with a modern CrossFit spin. Very motivating and athletic people encouraging others to accomplish their goals and lots of healthy living. Nothing is ever for everyone, however I always encourage anyone wanting to train to check out The Gym Maui. All of the staff work hard and they themselves train at the gym. Sanitizer is used throughout and plenty are available to ensure you're not touching microscopic hazardous materials. Everyone here is very welcoming and it's a community that always has your back. The trainers and courses are outstanding. Couldn't recommend this place enough. read more

I wish I could give this place 10 stars! Whether you are a Hawaiian local or worldwide traveler, you need to stop by The Gym Maui! They have SO many different options for your health and fitness. A standard weight floor where the members are kind, respectful, & hard working. As a female, sometimes gym floors can get a bit creepy... and I never got that vibe at this facility which was very refreshing. They have functional fitness equipment which I love as well as bosu/stability balls for balance and core training. After your kick-ass workout you can go in the sauna, get a smoothie, or buy supplements from one of the knowledgeable staff members. I had the privilege of meeting the owner Paul and his dog Kobe who gave off all the good vibes. Plus, he hooked me up with a bunch of referrals and recommendations for local businesses and things to do in Maui. If you love Hawaii, support your local Hawaii businesses and go buy a week pass from The Gym Maui. read more

Friendly staff - nice gym - no BS! Great workout! Thanks Maui Gym!! I would suggest some complimentary towels as they just have paper towels from what I could find so make sure you bring your own. Also the equipment was a little crowded in the back but not much could be done about that gotta just get in where you fit in:) read more

The Gym Maui - Gyms Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

For one hundred fifty bucks a month I'd expect a place more cleaner than this germ box. The machines get so much dirt on em you can tell they wipe em maybe weekly. I get it, you stay nort kihei and the doors stay open, but cmon. Plus too the equipment kinda raggedy with plenty rust on em. And torn pads. Go see for yourself if. You. No. believe. Parking sucks too with the other shops hassle you cuz you in front they store read more

Aloha from kihei maui! Been coming here for about a year now and let me tell you, this is literally my home away from home! W H A T E V E R your fitness/wellness goals are, you will definitely find a piece of mind here with STELLAR staff to help you with your journey. From newbie/beginner level to seasoned/advanced training, meal plans, recovery ect. Regardless of age and fitness level. The gym maui got you C O V E R E D! Owner Paul Romero i can't boast enough about! He's constantly adding and creating new things to keep you addicted to coming in, which I found unusual to find just going to the gym if you ask me? Anyway I could go on and on! So STOP reading this and and head over to see what im talking about for yourself! Heading there now! Over and out...A L O H A read more

Fantastic place. As a visitor it was easy to get a day pass. Owner personally text back and forth to assure comfort and happiness with gym. All the equipment we needed. Best workout we have had in all Hawaii read more

Since the pandemic happened, I have been looking for a new gym that was safe and clean. This is NOT the place. As a single woman I look for places where I feel safe and comfortable to train. I am extremely disguised with the way the men, specifically the owner - Paul Romero, treats women. It's completely inappropriate the way Paul stares, flirts, and constantly hits on women in this gym. This is why they have created women's only gyms around the world. I felt completely uncomfortable as if I was being preyed on, like a piece of meat. I have since heard similar complaints from other women who used to attend this gym. In addition, from what I have seen, the members and staff of this gym do not practice social distancing, especially in their CrossFit and other fitness classes, as they are packed full of people. I can only imagine how clean this gym really is. I am completely dissatisfied and disgusted and do not plan to ever return. Save yourself the trouble and go to Maui Powerhouse instead. I should have stuck with them from the beginning. read more

Paul, the owner of the gym is the bestttttt! After searching for a good gym to get a workout in while in Maui, we couldn't have made the better decision to workout at THE GYM. It's clean, efficient, and has everything you need from a purified water system, bathroom/locker room, smoothie bar, to even a cold plunge and more! We were lucky enough to meet and talk to Paul. He is such a down to earth, sincere guy with great energy and it really runs off on the gym he's running. Top notch! Anyway between Paul's energy and The Gym, we enjoyed it that much that... We're coming back for more tomorrow See you Paul! Mahalo! read more

Lots of great equipment, clean, and friendly environment! The owner Paul is an awesome dude.

By far the one of the best parts of our Maui Trip. My fiancé and I are both gym junkies so it was a must for us to find a place to get a workout. Called around a bunch of places and by far the staff at The Gym Maui were the most helpful and kind. Walked right in, got a temp pass for a few day, no issues, no long contracts, exactly what you want the experience to be like. The gym itself is bad ass. Big open doors, rugged but great equipment, fantastic water refill station, and just a bunch of people getting after it! Wish I had a gym like this back in Vegas. Thanks and shoutout to Will, who I happened to run into while on a hike, had a really nice exchange with him and he gifted me a ring off his hand. The whole staff was awesome and would recommend if visiting the island. read more

Had the pleasure of visiting this gym on a vacation to Maui last October. Great and welcoming atmosphere, all the regulars were welcoming and enthusiastic about inviting me into their gym. Scott was awesome to work with and offered great advice on technique and using muscle groups effectively and with a great variety. They also have a variety of classes and personal training available. read more

Gym Maui new owner Paul has taken the best gym on the planet to the next level. This gym welcomes all people of all levels of fitness. This gym has a genuine sense of community. The members are super cool. The workouts are the absolute best! This gym is the platinum standard for sure! Mahalo for the Aloha. read more

This gym has every type of machine available. There is a yoga room, but I didn't take a class, but I was able to use the room for planks and stretching. I am going to try to go every few days while in Maui! read more

Love the community here at this gym! Everyone is nice and supportive. The coaches are very knowledgeable and ready to take you the next level. Awesome kids programs as well. read more

The Gym Maui has it all -- a cafe onsite, personal training, yoga, CrossFit, ninja nights for kids, Ono To Go Meals and so much more. Most importantly, they have the best community you will find on this island! It's so much fun getting fit here. read more

A serious gym for a serious training session! In Maui for a wedding, but still needed to get my gym time in. The Gym Maui stood out as the ideal gym. From the pictures on the wall, the gym has been around for a long time, and it shows. Old school approach but obviously keeping up with the modern fitness trends. At its heart, it's a bodybuilding gym. But there's a mma and CrossFit going on, and other fitness classes. I lift in a powerlifting style, so only one power rack and no chalk bowls were a bummer. But I still able to do the work I needed to stay on track with my training. If you bodybuild, CrossFit, general fitness, etc. you ahoukd be pleased. Clean premises. Friendly staff. Not overly crowded while I was there. Reasonable day/drop-on rates. Went there twice and enjoyed both sessions. read more

We're in town all week from Eugene OR. As a gym owner and personal trainer myself, this is the place to go in Maui. Paul went above and beyond to get us dialed in and you can tell this place values their community too. read more

One word: Extraordinary. Wished I lived in Maui to continue to lift there, but it will be my iron paradise away from home. This is a true bodybuilding gym; old school/golden era bleeds through each machine and piece of iron here. They even have the same hack squat machine that Tom Platz preferred. If you love bodybuilding and happen to be fortunate enough to either live or be visiting in Maui, then this is a must visit. They offer day passes that are extremely reasonable compared to other gyms on the island. I'll be coming back to the island next year with a suitcase full of gym clothes lol. read more

This is a great gym for people serious about working out. There is plenty of equipment, it's rarely very crowded, the staff is friendly, and the facilities are clean. The membership prices are also reasonable. I tried another gym in Kihei for 3 months and that was a huge mistake! I'm back at this place now for good. read more

I just moved to Maui and the gym is a huge component of my life. I could not be happier or more blessed to have found myself at Gym Maui. The free weights and machines accompanied with the wide variety of classes offered cover all that I could ever want from a gym and more! Having moved before, I know it takes time to adjust to a new place, but the community I have found myself in here already makes me feel at home. Out of all the gyms I have been to in my life, I can honestly say this one is my favorite and I highly recommend it! read more

Came here for a pre-wedding-i-need-to-fit-into-my-dress workout session. Checking in was super easy: Sign in your name, pay $10 in cash and go workout ! The bathroom is really clean. Though the equipment are a little old, it works! I love the upstairs area where you can do cardio and there is a giant mat for me to do my floor exercise. I will definitely recommend this gym ! read more

Paul (the owner) is definitely a little questionable. But their staffs take questionable on a different level. Super weird pedo-vibes from this gym, super "click-y" feel like everyone has their own group at the gym and you don't belong. Overall super weird vibes here. read more

Excellent gym for all! The staff is very friendly and helpful. My husband and I are heavy lifters and personal trainers back home and they had everything we needed. A day pass is super affordable so no reason not to go. read more
