13 out of 79 members asked left a review (16.5% participation rate) in the last 90 days. This is above the network average of 13.1% across 1,194 gyms.
Boutique gyms typically see higher average ratings than big-box gyms because members are personally asked by coaches they train with daily — not through anonymous post-visit emails. This personal connection means the feedback is more genuine and detailed, and members who love their gym are naturally more motivated to share that experience.
Kimo is one of the OG professionals in the sport of fitness! He incorporates the foundational movement performance points in every group CF class and individual coaching session! He has a strong commitment to each athletes personal goals and has a great eye for fixes in the dynamic ranges of motion, a skill honed over many years of experience!!
Kimo helped me with form and alternate moves today. Much appreciated!
Pointed out my loop in my clean, which I know is also in my snatch. I think it’s a mechanism I use to try and keep the bar close to my body? Also need to work on catching the bar with a more active lower half, butt isn’t out, no strong back, flexibility issues?
CrossFit Hawaii is an excellent and intimate CrossFit gym! Coach and owner Kimo is knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve been doing CrossFit for a few years and he is still coaching my form. Eventually I’ll get it right! 🤣 Thanks, Kimo! And thanks 5am crew!!
Today was a well planned metcon. Kimo helped me to scale the wod so that it was intense and fun.
Coach Kimo was amazing! From the start, his communication and response time were top-notch. As someone with no prior experience, I really appreciated how he took the time to clearly explain everything, breaking it down in a way that made sense and helped ease my nerves. He removed any intimidation I was feeling and made me feel welcomed and supported. What stood out the most was his kindness, focus on safety, and how he tailored everything to my current fitness level, encouraging me to start slow and grow steadily. It gave me so much hope and motivation moving forward. I could tell he had a lot of knowledge and experience but was so patient with me. I was actually weighing between this and another fitness class, but Coach Kimo’s communication, openness, and genuine approach were what made me choose CrossFit Hawaii Kai. So glad I did!
Awesome gym!! Very welcoming!
I really enjoyed the class. I appreciated the detailed instructions and the no pressure vibe.
Flew into Hawaii from Vegas and needed a place to do the 2025 open. Kimo was super welcoming and everyone at the gym was extremely friendly. Good vibes!
Today’s workout and Kimo’s motivation was really great. As a 76 year old recent stroke survivor, my goal is to improve my current level of fitness as long as I can. This is my 6th year at XFit Hawaii and wish I had started much earlier.
Class and coaching were well instructed. All the staff and members are very welcoming. This is a place I could call home!
Great workout today. Coach Kimo explained all the movements, gave demonstration and scaling options. Something for all skill levels.
Great class as always!
Kimo is an awesome coach and owner. He reviewed the workout thoroughly and got us all warmed up for the WOD, which was awesome but hard! I absolutely love dropping into CF Hawaii when I am in town.
Kimo is always the best coach with the best eye to fix my firm and technique
Kimo and CrossFit Hawaii have transformed my fitness journey, helping me achieve an incredible 30% increase in bone density! It’s truly refreshing to find a place where you can train safely while being surrounded by such welcoming and supportive people. I genuinely look forward to every workout.
Kimo's awesome. Good class, good workout
Great class tonight-wonderful energy in the room 💪🏻. Kimo provided perfect demonstration of all the elements.
Kimo was a great coach, really was knowledgeable and made sure I didn’t push past my injury. Was very welcoming and friendly. I would recommend this CrossFit gym to anyone of any skill.
Great class, well explained so u don't feel dumb 🤠🌻
Been coming to the gym on and off as a visitor for more than 3 years. One of the reason i’m excited to come visit beautiful Oahu is the CF Hawaii kai. Very welcoming and friendly stuff as well as members . 500/5 ❤️
Coach Kimo and everyone in the class were all so welcoming! So much aloha! Even though I just dropped in for a day, Coach watched me and pointed out some improvements I could make in my movement. The workout was great and the facility was clean and bright and well equipped!
Always quality coaching in a supportive, friendly and encouraging environment for all levels. Mahalo nui, Kimo! 🤙🏼
Kimo is so good at explaining the movements and keeps everyone safe!!
The class I joined today was great as usual! I’ve been away for a while so it was nice to see everyone again and to not feel pressure to lift heavier than I probably should. Thanks for the fun workout!!
Great class!!!! Love going to class because the people/coaches make me happy. Bonus, I get to workout here too.
Since I don’t work out as frequently nowadays, it’s even more important for me to have good coaching, to make sure my movements are good and also to make sure I get the right stimulus. Kimo always gives me just the right advice on how to scale, and I always end up feeling like I went as hard as I could in the workout. Even though I can’t go as hard as I used to do, I always feel encouraged afterward. Mahalo, Kimo!
This was my first time at this location and I had a really beautiful experience! Kimo the coach was extremely welcoming and kind, as were the athletes that greeted me with smiles and handshakes. There was a very positive and community driven energy about the class, which I deeply appreciated! The box itself was very organized and clean, which I also appreciated! I will be definitely be coming back and will be my go to box when I am in town!
Kimo is very relatable, able to communicate and connect with members extremely well and provides excellent customer service. Kimo is also very knowledgeable and provides real time coaching throughout the workout. Awesome coach!
Kimo takes a very supportive & personalized approach to his instruction & coaching. He always brings aloha, encouragement, and balances a challenging workout with good vibes!
Always the best coaching & programming!!
