This box truly embodies the CrossFit and Aloha spirit. The community here is really friendly, the coaching is top-notch, and the facility is among the largest, most organized, and most outfitted that I've ever been to. Im a big fan of their policy on drop-ins :) They are located in the Kaka'ako area of Honolulu, and there are lots of places to grab a bite after. It is our go to when we visit O'ahu! read more

I dropped in for a week in Dec 2021 and again in February 2022. Both times: I was greeted at the door, treated like a member, given amazing coaching advice on form and technique, and felt welcome at all times. I will be back in March and April, look forward to dropping in again! read more

I started doing crossfit about 5 months ago and am pretty happy thus far. I've always been active (lifting, surfing, hiking, running, even 3 marathons) but can say the crossfit workouts are always challenging. They emphasize a more general/whole body fitness (rather than just maxing out your bench press) which I think is a good thing. Each class is 1 hour but the actual workouts last anywhere from 5 to 35mins depending on your fitness level. There is often a wide range of people in each class from extremely fit military men to your neighbor next door which is kinda nice. I'd put myself somewhere in the middle and I've never felt intimidated. The coaches and people in the class all help out and encourage each other to do better. Overall, I like going to crossfit ohau and have seen some good improvements since I started. One of the best things about going to crossfit is that they have progressive variations you can follow for some of the exercises. Example Pullups. If you can't do a crossfit pullup... you might start off with a jumping pullup or use a big rubber band for help. I guess the only negative I can think of is the cost. My 3 day a week membership costs about $150/month which is 2x what I pay for the entire year at 24 hour fitness. Is it worth it? I think so for now. I'm learning a lot of new exercises and the workouts really tax me. Crossfit oahu makes newbies take 1on1 lessons in the beginning which im not a big fan of. I had to take 3 and I hear the rule is now 5 or 6 costing $300 which is just too much. During these classes you learn how to do many of the crossfit exercises correctly (good thing) but I think they are too drawn out and way too pricey. Once you start the normal workouts things get a lot better. Could I do some of the workouts on my own at 24 hour fitness? Probably. But Im sure I would do many exercises incorrectly and people would get in my way (circuits are impossible). Some people like a little bit of structure in their workouts and crossfit definitely provides that. Note to Olivia D: I agree with you that crossfit is a bit expensive. Keep in mind that there is a "hawaii premium" built into prices here. Most crossfits in the lower 48 cost about $100/month for unlimited classes. Like gas, housing, milk, and eggs... crossfit and everything else costs more here. About your workout. Seems like you were just not using enough weight. Anytime weights are used in crossfit there is a prescribed weight (rx) for both men and women. I've been going for 5 months and I can tell you that I still can't do rx weight for all workouts (even tho I could bench press 130% of my own weight before I even started crossfit). We had a workout last week that was similar to yours: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 thrusters (rx 135lbs men/95 lbs women) and pullups. I used the 135 for this workout and it took me 24 mins to complete. I could barely stand up after that. Maybe you should have been using more weight. during your intro workout. read more

Definitely a great facility! I loved the space and equipments. It definitely has an island vibe, which seemed really cool to me. There's a group of coaches who know what they're doing and work out with the rest of the Crossfit Oahu fit fam. This is definitely my drop in gym whenever I am in the island or my home gym if I move to Honolulu one day. read more

CrossFit Oahu - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm about to tell you about the best thing I've ever discovered. No exaggeration. My friends know all about it because I won't shut up about it. But in this review, I'm going to tell you why. I had a review on here for CrossFit Oahu a while back when I first discovered Yelp, but it was deleted, along with a lot of other 5 star reviews that came in on the same day. And to an outsider, I could understand how it could look kinda suspect. Let me assure you that #1, I'm a real human being, and #2, I have absolutely no financial interest in CrossFit Oahu. I'm just an ordinary dude who discovered something that really is THAT good. I'm prefacing this review with that for a reason, and that is when you read what I have to say, you'll wonder exactly what's in it for me. There's no possible way I could be ranting and raving about all this just because I want to share the goodness, is there? Well, I'm so excited about this because all my expectations about this were not only met, but exceeded to a degree I couldn't even imagine. How many times in your life can you say that about something? CrossFit Oahu is not your typical gym. There are no mirrors, machines, or air conditioning. There's nothing posh about it, unlike most sports clubs that offer fresh towels, hot tubs, and a complimentary protein shake. Instead, it's situated in a warehouse. Fans cool down the place. Black rubber stall mats cover the floor. A pullup bar/monkey bar structure sits at one end. Rather than state-of-the-art fitness equipment, you'll find tools that have been used since the dawn of sports conditioning. Dumbells, medicine balls, gymnastics rings, and kettlebells, to name a few. And with this, we're all in the best shape of our lives. There are a couple principles that guide what we do. First of all, everyone does the exact same workout that day. The only difference is that the workout is scaled according to a person's abilities. It doesn't matter whether you're a Navy SEAL, an MMA fighter or a retiree who is recovering from hip replacement surgery, every movement is scalable. The coaches will go over each movement with the class, and help you determine how to scale it for your own needs. Second, every day is different. When you walk in, you have no idea what you'll be doing that day. That keeps it interesting, and even more importantly, prevents your body from adapting to a set workout. The workouts are high intensity - you're being timed. How fast can you complete the workout, while maintaining proper form? You find yourself pushing yourself harder than you've ever worked before. The coaches have a way of pushing you to give your best. This is the most fun I've ever had in a gym! And while most people track their progress based on how much weight they've lost, people at CrossFit also gauge improvement based on their learning of the skills. Most people walk in and can't do a single pullup - and that's great, because they quickly learn how! It's amazing watching people's progress, the sense of empowerment is unrivaled. And yet, there are no egos at CrossFit Oahu. In fact, the community is nothing short of incredible. That's the thing that took me by surprise the most. I could see how I could get into amazing shape in a place like this, but I never imagined I'd meet so many wonderful and encouraging people. I've walked in and out of Globo gyms for years having never said a word to anyone. Within several days at CrossFit, I met countless people, all who have become great friends of mine. We work hard, and we also play hard! We're developing quite a social scene. You'll find a ton us taking over Rum Fire for a going away party, Du Vin for a birthday, or Waimanolo beach on a holiday weekend. I can't fathom any other gym being like this. I'm going to warn you right now, this may be the most addictive thing you ever do, and I won't be held responsible. Consider that a fair warning. If you choose to ignore my warning, I invite you to join us. Drop in, meet us on the black mat, and get ready for an experience that will change your life! read more

What an awesome CrossFit gym! I was extremely impressed with the quality of coaches, the large facility, the variety of equipment and the detailed programming for each class. If you're in Oahu take the time to drop in. I had a great experience! read more

So I only had about 48 hours on the Island and I NEEDED to get a WOD in before the rest of my feasting and drinking got the best of me. Being an affiliate box helped out in dropping in for a free session. It was kinda tough finding the exact location but once I was there, I was really surprised with how huge and wide open this place was. I missed the 6am class so I had the box to myself but Bryant hooked me up and gave me a bunch of pointers that I still use today. These guys are pros and will always pay a visit when I'm on Oahu. DO WORK BE EPIC!!! read more

CrossFit Oahu - Dropped in for one helluva WOD! - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

BF and I both joined, but it was a struggle for me. I wanted to get more all-round fit, better core muscles, etc, but I am inexperienced with working out. I met with them and they said they could accommodate beginners and would help me get going. To start with, I had trouble with the equipment decisions. I need to get weights/barbells to do snatch and grabs. I didn't know which weight to use, how to attach them, or how heavy to make it. Don't like to jump on things, so was scared of the box jumps. As a substitute they wanted me to jump on stacked weights, but it was still a jump and I was still scared of falling. Training sessions would include a lot of the same things, like air squats, so we would do those as in multiple sets during warm up and more during the main workout. My first time doing air squats, they had me doing over 400 air squats and said to do them as low as I could, but without weights. I still couldn't walk the next day. And every session was different, so I felt like I never got enough repetition be get good at any of the exercises. I ended up disappointed and dropping out. The people were really nice, but I just couldn't make it work. read more

Friendly and welcoming staff. Great atmosphere and safe cleaning practices. Would have gone again if I had more time. read more

This is definitely my favorite gym to visit when I'm away on business trips. Always a great, friendly and fun staff. I've always felt welcomed here and everyone is extremely helpful and professional. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area who's looking for a great place to drop in! read more

Crossfit Oahu is such a great Gym and members are friendly. I highly recommend you drop in this gym if you visit Honolulu and stay by waikiki beach. read more

Did a drop in class while on vacation, instructions on the website don't match to what was being requested by the consumer - to check in 10 min before so someone can show you around or what needs to be done and that wasn't done. No one at the front desk for approx 7 minutes, then the instructor who led the class didn't seem too friendly to me checking in and also checking out, really didn't feel welcomed there aside from meeting the owner and working out next to him, who is the one that pretty much assisted me with my questions. I gave this place a 5* for its cleanliness and organization as for the customer service I received today was not received well. First impressions matter no matter the reason or where you are or what you do. Mahalo for the workout today :) read more

The coaches were very helpful, knowledgeable and experienced. Nice big space. lots of equipment. I'll definitely drop in again when I return. Highly recommend this box. read more

We love this box! Super clean, great equipment and programming, and Bryant was amazing! They are doing a fantastic job during COVID making sure people can still get in a great work out. We will definitely go back! read more

Came here for 4 workouts during my stay in Hawaii. Awesome gym, great coaches, a welcoming community and really good facilities and equipment. The first drop-in is free and after that you can pay as you go or buy a week or 2-week pass. I did $45 for a week - great deal. Will def go back! Neil read more

I have not been physically active in some time. It has been about four years since I've stopped doing Wushu (Chinese martial arts) and my boyfriend has been motivating me to get back in shape. I chose to attend CFO's 5am MetCon class hoping I could get started on my fitness journey. That's when I met you, Chris. You mistakenly called me 'Eduardo' when class started and I corrected you of course. However, throughout the entire session, you kept calling me 'Eduardo' in front of the other students and only calling me by my actual name during our one-on-ones. What the heck dude? You said you didn't want to seem racist but obviously it didn't work. You wanted me to brush it off and said if I didn't have thick skin, I'll get hurt. Man, you don't even know me! So now here's your chance. My name is NORMAN and I'm named after my dad. I've struggled to be my own person growing up because he casts a very large shadow. Yes, I'm Filipino and I actually do have a cousin named Eduardo. Fun fact: he's a registered sex offender. Anyway thanks for the workout. I thought CFO prided themselves in positivity. But with coaches like Chris spewing passive toxicity, I don't think I want to be a part of this community. Crossfit may be challenging, but I challenge you, Chris, to be a better human. Until then, if our paths should cross again, you shall be referred to as 'Charlie Boy'. read more

Wow- so I dropped in to CrossFit Oahu for Murphy work out on Memorial Day- gym and Owner Bryant were so welcoming. I am 57 and was nervous about being able to scale. I felt I scaled the Murphy workout so much I call it Momma Smurphy! Very Covid safe, equipment was clean and organized, regulars were very welcoming and soon we were all cheering each other on! I was so intimidate to drop in but it was awesome- thanks gym Oahu- would for sure recommended this gym!! read more

I dropped in here on Memorial Day for Murph. Great gym with lots of space and very welcoming. Sign-up process was easy and I walked here from my air bnb in Waikiki. I had to scale because I can't do pull-ups and they helped me set up rings for rows. I'll definitely come back on my next trip! read more

I was in Waikiki for work and decided to go to Crossfit Oahu and do a drop-in. Wow, the staff/coaches were all so nice. I would definitely encourage anyone looking to get a workout in while on Oahu to come here. The work out was definitely a good one--heart was racing the whole time! We signed up for the Biki bikes and rode here from the Sheraton Waikiki--pretty easy to do. Apparently some people have jogged here from there. I say take the bike! Tom was going through his "finals" to be a coach here and I think he did a phenomenal job--Thanks Tom! read more

Great gym! Super welcoming, high level of instruction and top notch facility. Definitely drop in if you are in the area visitng

Great gym for a drop in! Everyone was super welcoming, did a fun hero workout for Veteran's Day. Would absolutely come back again.

Friendly and professional staff, great gym. I enjoyed working out at CrossFit Oahu and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

I never write reviews, but I'm so grateful for CrossFit O'ahu that I have to write this one. Our family spent the past two months in Honolulu for work, and in preparation I spent a lot of time online looking for a way to enjoy fitness there together. Although my husband and I are generally active, we'd never done CrossFit before, and the kids are in middle school. I had all but given up hope of finding something that would work for all of us, when I sent an email to CrossFit O'ahu as a last chance. The folks here were welcoming from that first nervous email, encouraging me to bring the whole family in to try a workout and see how we like it. We decided to sign up, and went more days than not during our two months there. The coaches were all awesome, skilled, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient with all of us. The other members were great, too, with a huge range of experience, ability, age, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed learning something new together, and we left so much stronger and more fit and confident than we arrived. The kids went back to school excited to show their PE teachers how their burpees and mile time have improved, and now we're just hoping to find something close to as awesome at home. I don't know if we'll find it, but thanks to their coaching, I was able to drop into a new CrossFit gym with (a little) confidence, understand all the letters on the board, know how to do everything in the WOD, and keep up well enough. Thanks CrossFit O'ahu! read more

We loved this box! My husband and I dropped in three times while in Oahu, and each time was a great experience. Thank you Bryant and other coaches! read more

Amazing box! Great experience on vacation. There was a lot of people when we dropped in but the places was very large in person compared to the photos. We tried to comeback for a weight vested wod which sounded amazing. but vacation schedule was jammed backed. We will for sure recommend and come back next time. read more

CF Oahu is a great CrossFit box. They will give you knowledgeable coaching and a proper warm-up that is not seen in a lot of boxes today. I love dropping into a place that does it right! read more

I was happy to find CrossFit Oahu while in Honolulu for a few days. It was easy to register and I felt welcome as a visitor. I am new to CrossFit and learned a lot from Vince - he was knowledgeable and an encouraging coach! read more

Dropped in while on vacation visiting family. Super easy to navigate the drop in process and very friendly/accommodating staff. Highly recommend this place!! read more

Probably my favorite box in the area. Large training facility, tons of equipment, has showers to use after a training session, decicated lifting platforms, turf area and so on. All the staff was welcoming, we had multiple coaches as we went there more than once and they were all very helpful. Cool thing about this place is for 45 bucks you can get a week pass will always do this from now on. If your familiar with iamprojectx they also carry and sell their product along with there own swag which is cool all by itself. Mahalo will be back. read more

Great host box while in Oahu Hi. Coaches were warm, friendly and welcoming! Facility is great, lot's of space and equipment available. Aloha, Ruben read more

Excellent experience and WODs as always. Another great week of dropping in with these guys. Bryant and Liz were amazing. The programming was perfect. And the members kind and inviting. See you next year during our annual trip :) read more

Incredibly friendly and accommodating. Reasonably priced and excellent coaches. Will definitely drop in again.

Learned a couple of new tricks . Everyone was very welcoming and supportive :) 10/10 would definitely be here when I visit Oahu again

The whole team here is awesome!! I love coming to this box; the warm-up, WOD and all the equipment is great. The team looks out for me (new cross fitter) and makes sure I am using correct form. Mahalo! read more

The first time I stepped into CFO, it felt like a full fledged world class facility. It's huge w/ a 2nd floor mezzanine!They have it all, naturally they have wall balls (ugh), barbells bells etc. But also a surprising amount of gymnastics equipment, to the unexpected gravity boots. Just neat stuff everywhere. Every sq/ft has been thoughtfully designed to be able to perform all kinds of workouts. They also have showers. A major plus as I go in the middle of my workday a lot. Coaches! Now what's all this without incredible coaches? Naturally, you will gravitate to some more then others. Some have a sensei calm feel that leads to a disciplined and focused class. Some have a high energy "let's get this" coaching method that gets you pumped to climb a mountain. Ultimately they all put emphasis on being form-focused with the desire to challenge and encourage you to find your razors edge and somehow make all this hard work fun! Speaking of fun. It's clear that many members have created strong bonds at CFO. However, I was that kid that ditched P.E. and never played sports EVER so I can be a bit shy in athletic environments. Yes there are elite athletes that enter competitions; along w/ working professionals just trying to keep healthy. Regardless you will find people like yourself in there and make bonds of your own one fist bump at a time. Ultimately, I drank the punch. Yes I bought shirts and stickers and even went to one of their golf pub crawls (definitely attend these events). I came from another box and though I would never find another home. But now I wear the CFO badge proudly. I highly recommend that you check it out and be a part of the Crossfit Oahu Family. read more

Did a last minute drop in at Crossfit Oahu. They accommodated my friend and I with no issues. The coach was on point and precise with the explanation of the WOD. Crossfit Oahu has an amazing Box and community. Everyone there was very friendly. I highly recommend doing a drop in at Crossfit Oahu. read more

Solid coaching and very welcoming atmosphere. This will now be my gym for when I visit Oahu.

Fantastic gym environment, top of the line coaching, and competitive athletes make CF Oahu one of the best CF gyms I have ever been to. 10/10 recommend. read more

Signed up for a week, but was only able to drop-in twice. Coaching was great, and the gym is top notch! The second WOD was a Murph prep and required a weight vest; being I was just on vacation I didn't have my own, but no worries they had a ton of vests for anyone who needed it, I thought that was pretty legit. Loved the layout, atmosphere, and scored a sweet CFO shirt to rock at my home gym in San Diego. Looking forward to visiting again next time I visit Oahu. read more
