Out of all the CorePower locations on Oahu, Kahala is hands down my favorite! The studio is nice,…read morethe energy is HIGH, and every class leaves me feeling absolutely worked. And SAM. If you've taken one of his Sculpt classes, you already know. The music is next level, the workouts are challenging without feeling impossible, and he does an incredible job blending strength training, sculpt, and traditional yoga movements. You will be drenched in sweat by the end (in the best way)! What I love most is that he creates such a strong sense of community in class. He's encouraging, interactive, and somehow makes everyone want to push a little harder. Cannot recommend his classes enough. Truly one of the best instructors I've taken anywhere! (Sam please come back soon!)

I took my first class this morning because I wanted to try something new. It was my first time at…read morethe studio, for the 5 a.m. class. To the girl who checked me in: a smile and a little eye contact with a new customer are among the rare things left in this world that are still free and they can go a long way. I understand that you may not care much about earning my business since the studio is already popular and successful. But please understand that, for many people walking through the door at 5 a.m., you may be the first person they interact with that day. A simple welcoming attitude can set someone up for a good start to their morning. Being arrogant doesn't make you cooler, believe me. There are plenty of studios to choose from on this island, and I'd rather spend my money and my time somewhere I feel welcomed.

It was stormy, and I needed an indoor activity. I decided to get a Pilates class in. Did it come…read moreclose to some of my favorite experiences at other Club Pilates studios? It did not. I admit I was sorta expecting something spectacular...an amalgam of the fun, friendly vibe I have come to know of Club Pilates studios + an aloha spirit. I didn't get that. At all actually. Instead the instructor's interaction with us was one you might expect of a high school PE coach? So weird. I wanted to see if this was the overall vibe here, and tried to book a class with a different instructor the next day. Unfortunately, classes were canceled due to the storm. I'll have to wait for my next trip to find out. A single session here costs $45 per individual class, whereas it's $39 at my studios in Southern California. Also, you might want to give yourself some extra time to get here. My Uber dropped me off in a spot where I had to explore to get to my destination.

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

Great gym and group fitness culture, they will push you in a good way that doesn't intimidate you. Really nice equipment as well and I'm grateful they have everyone wipe everything down in between sets, very clean! If it's your first experience in a group fitness class, do not be afraid to ask questions and get to understand the machines! Music is fun but sometimes tricky to hear the coaches well enough to understand exactly what to do especially if it's your first time. BUT if that's the case, just smile and work hard -- even if it's not exactly what they say to do you'll still get a great workout in :) TIPS & TRICKS: * They do offer cheaper validated parking but if you're willing to get a walking warm up in before your class, just park at the Kakaako Waterfront Park! * Tons of awesome spots around SALT too, so get some post workout snacks after. * Ask about different membership opportunities, they have a lot of options might fit your lifestyle better (monthly passes, special week passes, or punch passes) * Last but not least, HAVE FUN AND GET YOUR SWEAT ON!

Zumba Fitness by Jen is a local phenomenon that is not to be missed if you're in Hawaii Kai. Just a hop, skip and a latin dance move from Starbucks, 60+ locals gather from 9-10 am Sunday-Friday and Tues/Wed 6-7 pm to work out in the open air. For only $6 a time or $5 if you purchase 10 classes up front, you too can "feel the music" while dancing with all ages (there are little kids through seniors there shaking their groove thing). I've been a few times now (I broke down and bought a card) and I LOVE it! While it's not quite the workout I get kickboxing, it's a lot of cardio if you want it to be and there is so much energy from all the people. Jen and her husband are buzzing with excitement and there is a bunch of rotating people from class that jump up on stage that emanate a similar vibe. And it's all of the folks in class, that shout and cheer while a routine to Ice Ice Baby or a crazy tango or a Hula envelops the crowd that makes the hour pass so quickly. For an awesome workout aimed at all ages, right on the water with a fantastic instructor and a fun culture of participants, 5 stars for Zumba by Jen, Woohoo, this is as good as it gets! #Yelp 100 Challenge: Review #6/100 :)

Chelsey is, hands down, the best zumba instructor in Hawaii. I can say this because after trying…read morecountless zumba classes, Chelsey blew. me. away. I do not even consider attending other classes because if I have to do the basic salsa step for another hour straight, I may just shed a few tears. There are numerous differences between Chelsey and other zumba teachers. First of all Chelsey has an incredible amount of enthusiasm-she is always totally stoked to teach her class and has an endless amount of energy. Chelsey is a former dancer. There's a difference between dancers and those who like to dance. It's evident in her choreography and the way she hits her moves. Her steps are always unique and creative between each dance. Third, she has the biggest heart. She is so grateful to her Zumba family and this shows when she makes connections and forms friendships with those who come to her class. She is extremely welcoming and friendly. When I first started going, I thought, "Everyone here knows each other. I totally don't belong here." But everyone is super nice and Chelsey makes an effort to get to know you. She spends the time before each class chatting with folks and hugs everyone on the way out. She mixes latin songs with popular songs you know and sing along to with the radio in the car. But you end up singing along to those songs you previously didn't know. She has a ton of routines and changes it up all the time so it's never boring. She has color themes. If you friend her on FB she'll post the color she's wearing to class that day and people can match her if they want-it makes the class even more fun! But, the big thing for me is Chelsey's class is a serious workout. It is hard for me to work up a sweat-check that-break a sweat in most other zumba classes, but Chelsey's class is on a whole 'nother level. Don't be worried for you beginners out there-there are grandmas and middle school girls who come and everyone dances at their own comfort level. You do what works for you. No one passes judgement. If you spend any time and effort attending a Zumba class, this is the one to attend. We'll see you on Mondays at Kaimuki HIGH school cafe at 6:15 and Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30 at Kaimuki MIDDLE School cafeteria. Drive towards the pumped up music.

I have tried other class on island and off and its no comparison. Chelsey is upbeat and her moves, mixes, and energy is modern. However you'll find students of all ages here, teens to grandparents. Her moves however aren't difficult, she's so encouraging and movement itself is the main key that she stresses. I promise you though, if you aren't here to sweat you're in the wrong place, you are getting an ultimate workout. Chelsey takes a genuine interest in her students and cares about their comfort in class, their fitness goals and achievements, but also that they're just having fun and feeling beautiful in their own skin. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable.I have made so many wonderful connections and friends within this class and with Chelsey herself. Mondays: Kaimuki High 6:15, Weds: Kaimuki Middle 5:30
