Fitness HI

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say I am more fit now than I’ve been in decades. I am in my 60’s and basically my main reason when I began, was that this was going to be my “last hurrah”. I see too many people my age and older stooped over while walking, having to ask other people to bend over and pick up something off the ground and having extreme difficulty getting up off the floor once down. They are stiff, have no stamina and one of their greatest fears is losing their balance and falling. I knew I was headed there fast even though I’m still happily and actively working full time. I have to say I was a bit leery about working out at a gym since I’ve already had 2 hip replacements and had been warned by doctors, not to exceed a certain range of bending. But this is just one of the benefits of having a program written by a very knowledgeable coach – he takes your physical limitations and weaknesses into account and tailors a constantly changing program based on that and what you want to achieve. (If you could see me during workouts, I think you’d agree that a 60-something year old woman commando crawling the length of the gym floor is a pretty awesome, if not humorous sight.) I’ve never hurt myself because he watches and constantly corrects my posture and moves. I groan when he increases my weights but I’m amazed that I can actually handle them. I question why I’m doing certain exercises until I realize it’s actually helping me in ways I never expected. So yes, I highly recommend you check out Fitness HI– don’t ever think it’s too late for you or that you won’t be able to handle it. There is a routine that can be tailored for you that will have you slowly but surely, noticing that YOU CAN DO THIS! Just make up your mind and get down here! And BTW, the people who work out here are the friendliest and most supportive ever!

Fantastic experience: Started working out at Fitness HI almost 1 month ago and I'm loving it. I've been to a variety of gyms in the past. 24 hour fitness, Orangetheory, crossfit gyms. Unfortunately as I got older, I noticed more injuries. I took a break from working out for about 8 months to heal and reset. Fast forward to the present day....I was looking to get back into shape but knew I needed a place that would help me get stronger and avoid injury. I'm so happy I found Fitness HI. Ryan Pang, the owner, is awesome. I'm currently enrolled in semi-private training. He targets workout to my personal goals. He also watches me attentively to make sure I'm doing the exercise correctly since I have a tendency to rush/push through exercises I suck at. I've noticed big changes in my strength and endurance since working out with him and it's only been a month. He just moved his gym to a larger space which is great. There are no large weight benches/machines or cardio equipment. He uses simple equipment like sangbags, TRX, kettlebells and medicine balls. Surprisingly, I get a much better, balanced workout with his equipment than I did at other gyms. He and the other members are extremely welcoming. The environment is casual, supportive and encouraging. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I was skeptical until I saw the amazing results from friends who attend classes/semi coaching here at FitnessHI. I decided to give it a try, I lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks under Ryan’s guidance of eating the right food & strength/metabolic classes ! Been a member of well known NYC gyms & never had such impressive results. Ryan is a knowledgeable and he helps you in attaining your fitness goals. Come join us & see for yourselves! #FitnessHI

Fantastic experience: I enjoy the gym. Superb coaching!!

Fantastic experience: I joined Finess HI with a friend last November and ended up loving it. I have wasted money on many other gym memberships through my life, paying monthly and never going. Being a part of a community with set times actually works for me. It sounds counter intuitive, but knowing that I can only go at certain times pushes me make workouts and work harder when I am there. I feel stronger and better overall. It’s fun to workout with people and get support from others with similar goals, to stay healthy! Ryan provides a safe, healthy and encouraging environment. So glad I listened to my friend!

Fantastic experience: After surgery and PT for a rotator cuff injury, I was still unable to raise my arm without pain and stiffness. Ryan worked with me to increase my range of motion as well as strengthen my core to where I can now lift my arm straight up without pain or difficulty. Plus the workouts are a lot of fun and never boring.

Fantastic experience: Wow, I am really impressed with Fitness HI. The facility is very clean, the environment is welcoming, and our trainer Ryan is excellent! The minute I walk in, I feel motivated to work out and I definitely feel a difference in my body. Ryan knows how to push you to your potential, while reminding you of what he feels is safe and right for your body. The class time is perfect because it fits into my lunch break and it allows me to do what I need to do after work. I haven't found anything like this around town so I am very happy!

Fantastic experience: I am married and a mother of 3 kids. Since having 3 children, I have been in and out of various gyms, workout routines, and have been on every diet under the sun. I have tried to stay active and not let my weight/health get out of control. It has always been a challenge, especially as I have gotten older. Finding an effective workout is key especially with such a busy schedule. I have been with Fitness HI for almost 2 years now. Although I still have my own personal fitness goals that I will continue to strive for, I probably have more muscle on my body now at 44 than I've ever had. I go to class four times a week, and do strength training (weights) twice a week, and metabolic (high intensity) class twice a week. This combination of classes has been the key factor to my fitness journey this past year. Not only did I drop a couple jeans sizes, but I lost close to 8% body fat over the year.

Fantastic experience: My friends were telling me about this gym for months. To be honest I'm not a huge fan of exercising in a gym because I didn't think I could exercise with my bum ankle. After months of delaying I took the plunge and went for a consultation and I've been hooked ever since. The workouts are totally awesome, the people are awesome - they're super encouraging and very welcoming when I first started. Ryan designs his workouts to be challenging and fun so time goes by very quickly. He also has alternatives for all his workouts which was very important to me plus it makes you feel good about yourself. Exercising at Fitness HI gym has made a huge difference in my yoga practice. I've seen a big changes in my friends after they took the "jeans challenge" and I can't wait to do the "LBD Challenge". Ryan is an awesome coach with a wealth of knowledge for exercising and nutrition. Looking for a gym - try Fitness HI - you will be pleasantly surprised.

Fantastic experience: Love that Ryan is constantly learning from the best in the industry. If you are looking for second to none fitness coaching in Hawaii, look no further.

Fantastic experience: Prior to joining Fitness HI with Ryan Pang, I had assumed that my "new normal" would be a life with daily aches and pains. I got used to taking two tablets of sodium naproxen daily, accepted getting up slowly out of bed due to plantar fasciitis, and slowly stretching muscles and loosening joints associated with my arthritic knees prior to getting up from a chair. A rheumatologist once told me that my knees were that of an 80-year old - I was 53 at the time! It has been four years since joining Fitness HI with Ryan Pang; I feel better and move around with ease. Ryan provides me with the most guidance and encouragement to challenge myself to fitness and better health. Nutrition guidance is excellent; learning to make the right choices of food (protein, fruits/vegetables, and fat) takes some getting used to, but it also means that I consciously make the right choices. Now, I notice that I no longer linger the chips and wine/beer aisles and spend more time at the fresh produce section. Fitness HI initiates fun goals such as "Drop two sizes" and "Bingo" challenges where goals are achieved using Ryan’s coaching direction. I feel better; I am healthier, and definitely more fit. Most importantly, my “numbers” are down: cholesterol, weight, and inches! Thanks Ryan!

Fantastic experience: I love FitnessHI! Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and patient. He guides you every step of the way whether you're new or a veteran of the gym. It's a place where you know you won't hurt yourself because Ryan ensures that your form, equipment weight, and exercise is appropriate for you. Ryan is also constantly learning new things. Staying up to date with new ways to train us. It's never boring in the gym because he changes things up every month. I also really enjoy the other members! We encourage and support each other and best of all, everyone's really nice. Not to mention it's always a blast to go hiking with the gym crew.
