Ok here's the thing. I started going here right after Thanksgiving and managed to stay motivated…read morethrough the new year - due in large part to my awesome coach Mel and the lovely ladies of the 530 AM class! That's right - 530 AM! Believe it or not, it is NOT the earliest class - that honor goes to the 445 AM boot camp - but it's a great way to start off your day. Egan's is all about contributing to your success. There are supplements, protein snacks and drinks, and a bit of gear for sale. Parking is right on the premises at $1/hour. And there is ALWAYS parking! Everyone who works the desk greets you every time you walk in, and my coach requires a once-weekly weigh in. If you aren't trending toward your goal, she (or he) reaches out to you to talk about your variables and how you can change your trajectory. Several times a year there are also challenges to mix things up a bit. These guys are as invested as you are! Coaches are always available to you. And a weigh in isn't just a weigh in - it's a really cool overall body analysis that shows you how much water is in your system (and consequently, how much more you could have), how much of your weight is fat and how much is muscle. I know! Cool - AND it holds you accountable. The gym has an app that allows you to manage your payments and reserve a spot for classes. Membership is unlimited all access - you can go to any location at any time and take any class, multiple times a day. Yeah, people go multiple times a day! Classes are fun, but they are HIIT classes, so you do to until exhaustion. But like all fun and challenging things, you can't wait to do it again. Classes also seem to switch the instructors up as well as the workouts, so don't be concerned that you'll get bored because you won't! Even more awesome, during this COVID-19 time the gym has closed but instructors are offering any number of online classes via FB Live and Zoom so you can keep on keeping on! And they are just committed and motivating online as they were in person. I always thought I could just work out on my own and be fine. I liked doing that too. But classes appear to be something I really respond to. I like the accountability and the energy of having others participating with you. I honest to God thought I was going to pass out at my first workout. I quickly realized I was horribly dehydrated and underestimated the effects of a pre-workout protein bar and it never happened again. Egan's help you develop a real body awareness and focus, and helps you renew your commitment to your own success. If you're wondering whether you can make it through a workout, well, you're just going to have to try it. And I highly recommend that you do. You may just surprise yourself!

I had already done a lot of of concussion rehab but that plus my perfectionist overachiever personality had pushed my nervous system too far. My symptoms were still severely limiting my life. Alyssa was amazing in meeting me where I was at and I've grown so much through my coaching with her. She has such a calm, inviting presence, even online it shines through. The vision drills have helped my eyes calm down and I'm even able to start driving some. We worked through some chronic pain in my foot to slowly build up to me being able to walk my son to school! Alyssa is a great listener and I find our sessions are so fun because we are uncovering another layer to work on! Her calm and gentle approach to vision and vestibular exercises is the perfect speed for my nervous system. Slowly, week by week we are expanding my world and I continue to learn more about myself.

TONY IS AMAZING!…read more Here's my story: I contacted Transformations Fitness (which I found here on Yelp) for my 10-day stay in Honolulu in February, I didn't want to get out of shape just to get back into shape when I returned to California. I signed up for Tony's semi-private sessions which seem like private sessions (his sessions are at Kaka'ako Fitness which is shared with other trainers and patrons of the fitness center). For my first session, Tony definitely took it easy on me. He took me through the stretching routine that I did at the beginning of each session. The link to routine is sent to your email with a helpful youtube clip of the stretches. Also during this first session, Tony inquired about my goals and what I wanted to work on during my training session. During my sessions that followed, Tony helped me become stronger physically and mentally throughout the short time he trained me. Tony guided me through exercises that were familiar as well as new ones. I requested that he incorporated kettle bell exercises and he followed through with that request. I enjoyed my sessions with Tony and I would definitely come back when I am back in town. You could try talking yourself out of a rep, but Tony is great at what he does and is able to coach you through your limiting beliefs and assist you through your transformation process. Thank you Tony!

I've continued attending group classes because working out has sort of become a habit, and regardless how I feel before class, I always leave the gym with a blank slate. Bad day? Go to the gym. Mentally exhausted? Go to the gym. Deciding whether to send that angry email? Go to the gym. The coaches are super chill and fun, as are the members. There's a program for every body and for every goal. My weight has not changed by much but my clothes are fitting a lot better than they did a year ago and I am stronger. Sometimes the coaches nudge me to take heavier weights but I like to "pace myself" haha! Parado Power is a clean (everyone wipes down their equipment) and bright and well-ventilated gym in a convenient location. Parking is plentiful (for the most part, depending on the time) and free with validation. Towels are provided and the water dispenser was upgraded not too long ago. First class is free; visit the website and sign up for a spot in group class!

Dr. Micah not only helped me rehabilitate those injuries, but he also took the time to teach me how to prevent them from coming back.

Every session feels personalized and focused on helping me move better, not just feel better for the day. Whether you're an athlete dealing with sports injuries or just someone with everyday aches and pains, I'd 10/10 recommend seeing Dr. Micah.

I emailed a couple places and Rey quickly responded to my inquiry and I scheduled an initial visit. Feeling very inadequate like someone who forgot their lightsaber at a Star Wars convention, I walked into his gym. Rey is so friendly and mellow it's was like talking to a long time friend. He listened to my concerns and set up a program customized for me. As I continued going, I got very comfortable at his gym, where folks are nice and only focused on their individual fitness. I originally went only to lose more weight but Rey taught me so much more. He customizes your regime according to you. I have a significant slouch and Rey has helped me with corrective posturing. He has taught me about safe weight lifting (to prevent injuries), nutrition (how to eat) and techniques to use at home. Rey is truly a master in all aspects of health and fitness. I feel better, have more energy and my posture has vastly improved. I find exercising a huge part of my routine now. I met some nice ladies at his gym and I've been inspired by their muscles to continue my own fitness path. I highly recommend Rey if you are focused on getting right with your body and health.

I met Bill Maeda thirteen years ago. Our first encounter is a pretty amazing story that we both…read morelove sharing with people! I was at home on a Sunday afternoon, lying on the couch, procrastinating while watching TV, deciding whether or not to go to hit the gym that day. All of a sudden, this totally ripped, super cool looking Japanese guy appeared on this Spy Series television show, and I got immediately inspired and decided at that exact moment that I needed to stop procrastinating and get off the couch and go work out. I left the house and walked to the gym. I took the escalator up and as I got off at the top, I literally bumped into this totally ripped, super cool looking Japanese guy and realized that it was the same guy I had just seen on TV ! We have been friends ever since, and Bill has been my exclusive trainer since then. What I love about being trained by Bill is that he knows the importance of incorporating NEW things into your workout realm every few months. It has set the bar high for me every year of the thirteen that I have been blessed to call Bill my friend and Trainer. Bill was the first person I recall to ever say the words"kettle-bell" in Hawaii ! I am so grateful to him for always re-callibrating my whole program and way of thinking every few months since I started training under him. It keeps things from getting stale and routine and well... boring ! The body and brain really only respond and change when we give them new and challenging things to do, and in my opinion, no one teaches those principles while incorporating that theory through fresh and challenging training sessions better than Bil Maeda. Here we are all these years later, and Bill i s still inspiring me, as he did that day on TV, to get off that couch and get a great workout in every day !

I was first introduced to Bill Maeda, the man behind FitPro, two years ago by a good friend who had…read morebeen working out with Bill for several years. My first question to him was, "How can you have worked out the with same trainer for 3 years and not be bored?" My personal history is riddled with workout regimens that have come and gone because, in the end, they just get boring. Bill has kept things fresh for two years, with the goal of making me "unbreakable" -- strong and injury-free. We started with foundational exercises (push-ups, pull-ups, planks, step-ups, lunges, twisting core exercises, etc.) to make sure that I had a solid base of strength before moving on to more dynamic movements and heavier weights. At every step of the way, Bill focused on teaching strict form for every exercise. I share his belief that maintaining good form, with light or heavy weights, ensures that one gets the most out of every exercise and avoids injury. In the last two years, Bill has mixed in kettlebells (thruster, long cycle, snatch), traditional power lifting (squat, bench, deadlift), punching & kicking, sandbags, weighted swinging clubs, body weight movements, and a variety of isometric exercises. I participate in a variety of other sports and events (soccer, triathlons, obstacle races, endurance events), and Bill designs my workouts to help me prepare specifically for them.
