Crossfit Hawaii

Kimo was super helpful getting me back into the swing of things (previous CrossFit athlete!) He really took time to correct form and make sure I was performing the movements safely. It was a wonderful, welcoming environment! I signed up on the spot 💪🏼

Kimo runs a great gym! He is supportive by making sure we are comfortable with the movements while challenging us to improve!

Coach Kimo is very patient and attentive! Would recommend him to anyone wanting to join CrossFit. Mahalo Coach Kimo!

Kimo was really patient and clear on the why and how of each exercise. The vibe of the place was great, everyone seemed to be happy we were there and didn’t feel like we were in the way. His pointers seemed to help me realize it’s about the long run and not short term. Would love to consistently work with Kimo to better myself and get in shape.

I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2017 and travel a lot. I’ve dropped in on classes all over the world. CrossFit Hawaii is the best. A few things make Kimo and his classes unique. First, there is always a legitimate warm up. Second, he really teaches scaling options incredibly well - no ego injuries at CrossFit Hawaii. Third, the programming is always perfectly balanced. Sometimes I think it might be too easy - it never is! It’s always just perfect. Finally, I know a lot of people say this but the people are so nice. They’re really just family, no matter who you are. It’s awesome!

Welcoming, friendly, thanks for your time

I dropped in at CrossFit Hawai’i today. Coach Kockelman was very welcoming and introduced me to all the regular members. He did a great job breaking down all the movements and suggested ways to modify the workout. I thoroughly enjoyed his class.

Kimo was great! Very welcoming, introduced me to the whole class. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Kimo is incredibly approachable and gentle with patience. As someone new to CrossFit, I really appreciate how he takes the time to train and explain every movement one-on-one, breaking down each exercise step-by-step so it’s clear without ever making me feel singled out or rushed. He notices when my form needs adjustment and calmly guides me through corrections, which makes me feel confident and safe while learning. What stands out is the way he encourages the whole group at Crossfit Hawaii to scale workouts up or down depending on individual ability, always without judgement or pressure. His tone is supportive and inclusive, which makes it easier to push myself without feeling intimidated. The balance of personal attention and group motivation creates a welcoming atmosphere where I feel challenged but not overwhelmed. It’s a wonderful way to build strength and confidence, especially for someone just starting out like me.

This gym was instantly welcoming, with a positive family-type energy that you can feel as soon as you walk in. The moment I stepped inside Crossfit Hawaii, the friendly atmosphere made it easy to settle in and focus on my workout. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging - they don’t just call out instructions; they carefully watch your form, offer adjustments, and motivate you to push through challenges without feeling overwhelmed. It’s clear the folks who run the gym love their job and what they do, and that passion radiates throughout every class. You can see it in the way they engage with members, celebrate progress, and create a space where everyone feels included. That energy is not just felt but amplified by the members in the class, making each session feel like more than just exercise - it’s a shared experience. I’m truly grateful to have found such an awesome place where hard work meets genuine community.

Everyone was so friendly and coaching cues were very intentional and helpful!

I used to think CrossFit was for elite athletes and so, especially at my age, was reluctant to join. Kimo makes it so accessible to everyone. As a result, I work out regularly with confidence that Kimo will teach and encourage me. The vibe in the gym is so supportive and collegial. I really look forward to the workout and feel grateful for Kimo.

Nice guy, gives great feedback to make sure you're meeting standard and don't hurt yourself. Very impressed. Thank you for having me
