Pilates Advantage Hawaii is one of the most enjoyable Pilates studios on the island. The location…read moreis convenient in beautiful Kaimuki. And there is parking in the building or lots of free street parking nearby. All the teachers are very encouraging, fun and sincere. I have taken seven classes so far with four different teachers. All of them are certified, humble, talented and creative. I have not been dissatisfied once. I would also have to say the community involvement is a real positive factor. From beach clean up days, taro patch cleaning, Breast Cancer Healthy Strides walk. to supporting Hawaii Food Bank, the business continues to give back to the community. It feels like the instructors really care about nurturing the community, and me as well. Also available here: massage, Lomilomi, Acupincture by licensed professionals. Oh yeah! I made my appointment (on-line) to hold a space in the class that I wanted. The website has a lot of information, so reading the small screen on my phone was difficult for my tired eyes. On a computer, it is a much better viewing experience. Jaydene, Wainani, Patricia, Audrey, Janna, Pauline, Heather and other visiting instructors are all excellent! If you haven't tried Pilates, the exercises are low impact, and the difficulty can be adjusted. It is excellent for rehabilitation, and the one on one sessions can accommodate even injured or elderly participants. With Pilates Advantage Hawaii, I feel good! Yelp 365 Challenge: 130/365

People assume I'm a matcha-sipping, yoga-loving kind of gal... and they're not wrong. But I've also…read morebeen lifting at Parado Power Gym consistently for the past 2 years, and I'm the strongest/most-fit I've ever been. This isn't the place if you're looking for AC or shiny new equipment--it's a little more rugged, sweaty, and all about getting stronger. The trainers are hands-down the best. They constantly correct your form, and somehow the tiniest adjustments make every exercise 10x harder (in the best way). I've been on a mission to grow my glutes, and I regularly leave with my butt twitching from pure muscle fatigue. If you're looking for fancy, this isn't it.

Fresh Review Alert - This Place Deserves It!…read more I've been going to Firm Pilates for almost a year now, and I can confidently say it's exactly what I needed for my lifestyle. After visiting my family in Thailand, I took private Pilates classes to improve my form and strengthen my body--because let's face it, I'm not getting any younger! When I returned home, I wanted to find a studio that offered quality instruction at an affordable price. After searching online, I stumbled across Firm Pilates, and I'm so glad I did. From my very first visit, Lauren was incredibly helpful. She guided me through the basics, making the class both enjoyable and educational. Now, I see her every week, and she continues to help me refine my form and build strength. Lauren is a great instructor--she not only makes the sessions fun but also focuses on targeting areas that need more improvement. She even provides tips and techniques I can practice at home, which has been a game changer. I still have a long way to go, but I can feel myself improving with each session. :)

Highly recommend!

I could not have done any of it without Lauren's training. Highly confident with my physical fitness, I used Lauren"s Pilates based stretching techniques to begin training for the Honolulu Marathon. I started by running around Ala Moana Park and I quickly discovered that there is now an L&L BBQ in the park. Although I have now abandoned my effort to run the marathon, I have obtained enough L&L "frequent visitor" points to earn a free plate lunch!

He and his team work with clients at all fitness levels and will modify exercises as needed to accommodate each client's individual ability.

I just moved here five months ago. Prior to my move, I was working out five days a week, eating…read moresuper healthy, and weighed as much as I did when I first graduated from college. As I went through the stress of relocating, it didn't take long for me to fall into bad habits. I finally decided to look for another boot camp, since I was going to one regularly in San Diego. Lee-Ann's 2CW-HI Boot Camp was the first class I'd checked out, and I didn't need to look any further. It has everything I need: an amazing instructor, very friendly and encouraging workout buddies, varied exercises that keep workouts fresh and interesting all while whipping me into shape. I also LOVE that each day of the week is held in a different location. Right now, Mondays are beach workouts, either on the sand or grass. Wednesdays are at a park by the police station. Fridays are in a small studio. You have a choice between 6 AM and 6 PM classes on Wednesdays and Fridays. Mondays are 6 AM only. Lee-Ann is such an amazing instructor and very knowledgeable of fitness and healthy living. She'll help you with goal setting and will never make you feel bad or guilty. She understands that everyone has different goals, fitness levels, etc. As for pricing, you can pay for unlimited classes per month or purchase a bulk of classes (e.g. 24) and have a "punch card" that gets filled out every time you take a class. The latter works very well for me because my work schedule varies all of the time. I paid $275 for 24 classes with the Yelp deal and not including tax. That's about how much I was paying back in San Diego, and it's a lot cheaper compared to CrossFit and other gyms. I've been going for a month now and will not be slowing down anytime soon!!

There were three of us so luckily, we were able to be put in the same group and do the circuit together. Since it was my first class I got there 15 minutes early. There was plenty of parking when I showed up, but as the class time got closer the parking lot filled up. I always get nervous when taking a new type of workout class but the staff walked me through the space and how they structure the classes. Essentially, there are different stations and in groups of 3-4 you move through each workout with breaks in between sets. They also break up the sets with ab workouts etc. that you do as a whole group. They have screens to follow what each workout is and they also go through all the workouts at the beginning of the class. I will say that there was one workout, I think either a deadlift or Romanian deadlift- that I could feel that I wasn't doing properly. Lucky for me, someone in the group behind me saw and gave me some pointers. The music was really fun and upbeat- can't wait to go again with my friends!

Very nice and professional set up and studio. I had never done Pilates before so this was a new experience for me. Wow. Totally blown away by the 1 hour session/ class I took. You can totally feel what Pilates can do for you in just one session and I now see why people go back. You learn things you didn't know how to do and use muscles you didn't know you had (or at least I didn't). I wasn't quite able to keep up with everyone else but that didn't matter at all. The owner Kareen, who runs the place, is also awesome at working with your schedule and had multiple classes and times to choose from. I highly recommend this place!
