As someone who constantly drops-in to different crossfit boxes around the world when traveling and as a box owner from Houston, TX, I can confidently say that the staff and athletes at CF Kuleana will make you feel welcome regardless of your skill level! read more

Great coaching and atmosphere, just dropped in but will visit again next time in Hawaii.

I used to be a 24 Hour Fitness memember, and I loved going to the gym for a long time, until one day, the results slowed, the gym was packed and I was finding my sessions getting shorter and less intense. I was bored of the gym. I didn't know how to get the results I wanted...Then I found Crossfit Destination. I have been going to Crossfit Destination since July 2012. Before I started I couldn't even run a mile. Sometime at the end of 2011 I developed Tendinitis in my knee. I had just finished doing Personal Training sessions, and had to go into Physical Therapy sessions...sort of ass backwards, don't you think? But I went from barely being able to run .75 miles to now being able to run a full mile without stopping. My legs are stronger, my body is stronger and my mind is stronger. I am constantly being told that I look great, that I'm losing weight and everyone is wondering how? Simple...This gym. On top of this, I have met some amazing people. Everyone that goes is super friendly people and always encouraging you to do best. Whether you're the first one done, or the last, everyone is pushing you and cheering for you. Noah and Greta (Coaches/Owners) are the amazing people and there is no way I could go anywhere else. read more

CrossFit Kuleana has changed my life. Entirely. Unlike most people who try CrossFit, I came with no prior experience of "working out" in any sense. I'd belonged to a few gyms in my life, but never received any personal training. I have severe arthritis in my hips and I was promised that by strengthening my muscles and altering my diet this pain would be reduced. That's all I was really focused on. I was not interested in sitting around showing off my body or discussing how many pullups I could do (which was zero) Six months later the pain in my hips WAS reduced, but more importantly I was living on natural drugs (adrenalin, dopamine, etc) that continuously made me happier and more energetic. In that time I lost 43 pounds and began doing things I'd never done before, including pullups, box jumps, burpees, running up mountains, doing dozens of pushups and the list goes on. If you are in a funk and need some shaking up, CrossFit Kuleana is the place to go. You will become happier, healthier and stronger and will become engaged in a very supportive and (dare I say?) loving community. They especially welcome people who have special challenges, including disorders such as arthritis, obesity, diabetes. They can and will help you! Crossfit Kuleana is run by a team of extremely caring, informed and most of all supporting coaches, including Noah, Marcus, Greta, Marissa, Jeremy & Rebecca. Each and every one of them possesses a tremendous spirit and they live to help people become healthier, stronger, happier and have greater self-esteem. The "box" at King Street & Hausten Street in unique among CrossFit gyms. It's "open air" roof allows for super-healthy sunshine and exquisite Hawaii tradewinds to pour in to make the workout experience pleasurable and eliminates the claustrophobic feel one gets in a regular indoor gym. CrossFit Kuleana is well equipped and clean. The owners are constantly working to add new equipment and make the place the best that it can be. I recommend this 100% read more

This place changes lives. The people are amazing and the coaches care about each and every member. Kuleana means responsible. We are all responsible for each other at crossfit Kuleana. Highly highly recommend! !!!!! read more

Noah and Greta are incredible trainers. Their passion and enthusiasm are contagious and they really trick you into having a great time working out. Love them. read more

Pros: Good for drop-ins and open gym, World-class trainers and programming, AMAZING dogs, welcome and affirming community and atmosphere. Cons: Equipment selection slightly limited, no parking, kinda hot. 9.9/10 This review is a long-time coming, as I have been going to this box on and off for about four years. I will say, bottom line, this is an excellent CrossFit box for anyone at any stage of their fitness journey. From a morbidly obese, immobile, self-hating office drone with metabolic syndrome; to a world-class athlete getting ready for the Open, Regionals, or even the CrossFit Games. You will be welcome here, and the trainers will help you to become fitter, happier, and more productive. Many of the members are also sports or fitness professionals, and they will be able to help you as well. This isn't a snobbish box where anyone who can't hit double-unders is scoffed at. No; you will be welcome here. I've been to a lot of boxes around the world, with my first WOD in 2006 -- this one is among the best. All that said, there are a few "cons" to the box. Probably everyone's biggest gripe is the absolute lack of parking. What can I say: ain't no parking in Honolulu. That's just how it is. Another gripe I've heard a lot is the lack of air-conditioning/Big Ass Fans™, and the effects of the muffler shop nextdoor (noise, fumes, cigar smoke, etc.). Also true. But strong people don't come from cushy circumstances. Hormesis is a thing: whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger. This box will make you stronger. Finally, and this is my only gripe, the box doesn't offer couples pricing. I.e., shared membership. But that's a business decision the owners made, and I'm sure they have good reasons. I'm not a business owner so I can't speak to that. Another business decision they made is the relatively high price of monthly memberships compared to other boxes in the USA. Well, it's Hawaii. In addition, you get what you pay for. You can go to the box down the block that charges $40 a month less, and you will spend that $40 in co-pays when the trainer doesn't mod a workout appropriately, or pushes you past your limits. Then you will go to Kuleana to get back in the game because they know how to help fix broken people. The location is also very good for tourists. I worked as a tour guide while working out here, and I met more than a few tourists who said it was hard to find a box to do drop-ins, or to do open gym work. This box will accommodate you, and is close to Waikiki. One final note: I have autism. It affects my social interactions as well as my sensory integration (which includes proprioception and interoception). I didn't know I had autism before I came to this box, but somehow the trainers knew how to deliver their training effectively and compassionately. Other boxes I went to before Kuleana couldn't or wouldn't do that, and I always left unhappy and slightly bitter. But Noah, Marcus, Mar, and the other trainers come at training from a place of love. A place of aloha, if you will. Go to CrossFit Kuleana. You will not regret it. You will be fitter, happier, and more productive. read more

Hands down the absolute BEST gym EVER!! The staff is so friendly and the trainers are knowledgeable beyond any trainer I've ever had in 18 years of traveling the world. I am a very particular client and they have met every request I wanted and asked for. Coach Marcus has custom made a training program for me, literally kicking my butt in every session and Coach Inhofer is an expert trainer and food programmer. I've also worked with many of the other trainers that are just as skilled. It's much more than a workout, this gym is like family. A definite MUST TRY if you're looking to try something different and fun! read more

This gym is awesome! They were so welcoming and the environment was great. A group of 7 of us dropped in after being turned away from another crossfit gym close by. I'm so glad we made our way to this gym. We will be going here anytime we are in town. The price is good and they have packages if you want to drop in for multiple days. Cool shirts too! As with any crossfit gym- only go if you have experience with crossfit so you can jump in with the rest of the class. read more

Dropped in while in town vacationing and loved the gym. Gus was great and let us do our own thing but also let us did take advantage of that days WOD!! Loved the open air atmosphere!! I strongly recommend if you are in Honolulu!! Mahalo Crossfit Kuleana!! read more

Dropped in yesterday to complete 18.1. Everyone was so welcoming! Coaches were great!!! I left there with the dilemma of sticking to my plan of dropping in to a few different boxes, or just coming back here my entire stay! So much fun!! Thank you Crossfit Kuleana!! read more

I've been going at it for 3 months now. I've lost about 20 pounds and at least half of my body fat. Results are great but I could have done this at home. Ok, not really, I need the motivation and I get it here. There is no way I would get this done at home. I've never been to a 'gym' in my life and I don't plan on it. This is not your typical gym. Its not a gym at all. It's almost family. The trainers are extremely supportive and very attentive. They really do care! I can ask them anything at any time and they will take whatever time is needed to help me. I didn't think I could do what I'm doing considering the injuries I've sustained in the past. The correct form is so important and the trainers are on top if it at all times stressing how important it is. I have some friends who go to 24 hour fitness and all I hear are complaints. I guess you get what you pay for. It was tough at first but after a few weeks it turned out to be one if the most rewarding things I've done in years. Many, many years. I look forward to every class now because I know even if I am exhausted at the end I'm on a high! I even go to the 'free for anyone' class on Saturday mornings at 9:00. The last but not least thing I like is that everyone is supportive. Trainers and clients. It's full of people from all walks of life, not just a bunch of 'gym rats'. In shape and getting in shape. Very down to earth! Just people like you and me.... read more

Dropped in for a class while on holiday. Really friendly crew and coaches! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a great place to work out. read more

Today was the first day I tried it out, Man.. It was intense. I went with a girlfriend of mine, and Noah was really great with helping us get through the whole hour work out. At first, I was a bit nervous about meeting new people, but every one there was very nice, friendly, encouraging. They gave me a very positive energy. While running the first one-mile run, all the old-timers were carrying sand bags, but my girlfriend and I. Yet, while running passing through them, or they runningn passing through me, they all told me "great job, Keep going"!!! they are like the best cheer-leaders. What I love about this place is that it is outdoor with a bunch of great people (although I only met them for a day, but everyone has a smile on them when they arrived). Noah the trainer helped us with some modified work outs since it was our first time, but yet, he was pretty strict about the right form we do them in. He does not let people slack off. I really loved it, although i asked myself what I got myself into while running the second MILE run... but it was great. a Great accomplishment at the end of the day! I will go back on Friday! Thank you Noah ..for keep telling us we did great! read more

I would highly recommend this box for anyone looking for a great workout and atmosphere. I was travelling to Hawaii from San Diego and needed a place to train. I worked out 3 times, two of the classes with Greta. She is a high quality instructor and the other participants in the class were welcoming. read more

Marcus at Crossfit Kuleana was very professional and welcoming when I called and made inquiries-I appreciated the time he took to follow up and speak to me-Very professional read more

Dropped in from California. Had a fantastic time. Staff was friendly and helped me to feel welcome and involved. Staff was engaged with my performance as well. Warm up was phenomenal (important to me as an older individual), and facilities were perfect. Thank you. Recommend to anyone of any fitness level. Seems like an awesome community to be a part of. read more

Visited a couple other gyms but this gym is by far the best! The programming is well thought out and because of it my mobility has improved dramatically. All the coaches are friendly and helpful, not to mention the owners who are always around either working out or encouraging their members. Everyone is so friendly, promoting a tight-knit community which makes this box really stand out from the rest. Highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend CrossFit Kuleana. The trainers are skilled, friendly ,knowledgeable, and patient. If I weren`t relocating off the island I would definitely still be attending.Go check it out!;) read more

Dropped in on a weekend class to workout with a buddy as I was a member of a different box on island and after one workout there I switched over as soon as I could. I love everything about this gym. From the top down these people love fitness and it shows. They want success from every person and every ability group. This isn't a box that only wants to focus on their top level athletes. The programing here is remarkable so I will remark, they take into account so many aspects of training the it could be easily overlooked. They maintain the different cycles for strength and conditioning and technique while not allowing the metabolic conditioning of their members suffer. They know how to balance a great many aspects of training and keep it all 'n sync without crying a river. Or maybe they do, but it's behind closed doors (at the End Of the Night). Alright enough of that, the guys make me want to do crossfit everyday and have kindled a was to Light My Fire for Crossfit and have pushed me to new PR's and new movements that I'd never been able to perform before. read more

When I walked into this gym for the first time they made me feel right at home. Most gym settings can be intimidating and unfriendly, here you are treated like family. Everyone is welcome from all backgrounds, sizes and disciplines, their programming, coaching and motivating workouts make you feel like you can accomplish anything! I highly recommend their free introductory Saturday class to try out it was super fun and everyone including other members are always willing to help out. Kuleana had me at aloha! read more

I 100% recommend this CrossFit! I would say 'gym' to be broad, but it is so much more than a gym. It is a personal training experience with small classes, extremely knowledgeable and competent trainers, and a wonderful community. If you are looking for a positive fitness experience it does not get any better than this! I believe you will achieve much more than fitness at this CrossFit. read more
