The review from Bruce B is completely bogus. I am a long term member of SMF and know the owner and…read morestaff well. I was in the gym during this incident. I noticed this reviewers abuse of the equipment well before the Trainer, mentioned in the review, came in. The equipment is fairly new and not rusted at all. It's all very well maintained. The reviewer was treating the equipment very aggressively. It was very apparent that he did not have any care for the gym. The Trainer was not rude. She asked the reviewer twice to stop abusing the equipment. He continued to disrespect her and the gym. She had no choice to calmly ask him to leave. He argued, of course, and finally left when more staff came over. I'm sure PH gym would love his business.

This place is just Ah-MAZINGGGG!!!! I called Coach Paul before I landed in Maui and came there…read morestraight 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!

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.

They provide hooks, but you may not utilize them. Might as well take them down! They definitely do…read morenot hear their clientele when they try to defend their rights to use a hook. In fact, if you are drying out a pair of pants that got a little wet with your OWN FAN, they will accuse you of washing your clothes when that is NOT what you did. One pair of pants got a little wet, but they don't care about individual human rights. Seems they just believe in gang-bang and bullying members around for the sake of control. Instead they just bump you out and steal your membership money without giving credit where credit is due. Cleaning is something the staff do not take upon themselves. If you want to take a shower, be prepared for a shower standing in sewage because nobody cleans the hair out of the drain. The staff has a policy of bring your children to work day every day and allow little boys to just go in and use the women's restroom while there are women half-dressed trying to have a little privacy. Really, they need to find a sitter. That changing room is for the women who are paying for their membership ONLY. It's common decency and pono. It is not a spacious gym, but boys do NOT belong where grown women dress because it is NOT an ohana atmosphere. Further proof that it is NOT an aloha atmosphere is that as soon as you want to get to your locker, there is somebody else yelling at you to move so they can get into theirs. Why not WAIT? Somebody was there before you and it's not possible to make my importance of being alive and kicking any less important than yours. Get ready to see B-52 cockroaches and they're eating up the sauna as well. My experience there was always having to put out fires and I shouldn't have to go to a gym that intimidates its members to a point of no return. Life is hard enough. And no matter how hard you push me, I push back. The fact is that you cannot be yourself and be happy with gym staff members yelling at you whilst on the treadmill or following you into the dressing room to tell you how not to put ONE article of clothing to dry where I see fit. When you are in my shoes getting that boomerang karma, then you will see what prejudiced pigs you were to me!

My partner and I visited Maui for 8 days. We walked into…read moreMakena and were welcomed by Paul, the owner. He gave us options on either drop ins, class passes or weekly pass and we decided to sign up for the whole week. The classes were fun & the other athletes were really welcoming. We never felt like outsiders and felt more comfortable than in any other gym we've dropped in at. We learned a lot in a week there and we both hit a PR on our power clean. We will miss working out at Makena and will definitely come back and visit them all sometimes soon again.

Ty created a customized program for me and he even wrote up work outs for me to do while I was out of town! I felt so confident on my wedding day thanks to working with Ty!

I have had a couple of injuries in the past ,as well as a career as a massage therapist, which both have created some instability throughout my body. Ty has helped me immensely to bring strength and balance back into my weak areas of my body. He tunes right into the level that I'm at, never pressuring or pushing too hard yet giving me the right amount of challenge in order to help me progress in my goals. I highly recommend Ty as a personal trainer for all levels!

This seems to be one of the only studios located near the resort area. The studio itself is small, with 10 bikes, but it fits the bill. I had the same instructor both days and she was welcoming and energetic. My only qualm is that I'm used to a different style of bike and different kinds of music, but I'm also spoiled with my go-to studio in Southern California. If your looking for a place to work out at on vacation, this is a great option. It is reminiscent of the 24 hour spinning classes if you are familiar with the structure of those. If spinning isn't your thing, I believe they offer Pilates as well as free weights and cardio machines.
