Dropped in once while on vacation. Bryant was a fantastic coach. Despite the slightly larger class size (maybe 15 people?), it was clear he managed to give everyone attention. He was also very knowledgeable and made sure everyone gave their all. Lots of different equipment in the gym. Definitely give CF Oahu a shot when you visit!
Amazing facility with a great group of people. Everyone was welcoming, the workout was great, and we had some good coaching. Easy parking is an extra bonus and its just a great space to get your WOD in.
I dropped in while on the island for vacation. The coach and community were so welcoming! It was easy to sign up on line and there were so many times to pick from. Thank you for a wonderful visit. Come see me in Michigan when you want a blizzard workout! :)
Best staff and CrossFit facilities in Hawaii!
My first time here was so amazing. Coach Alex was very motivating and the people were so welcoming. Looking forward to the growth at this place.
When i was in hawaii i did multiple drop ins around the island. This place was easily my favorite. Great coaching and friendly people
Third time here and won’t be the last. What a great welcoming community and a helluva lot of fun to work out with!! Mahalo!
Come to Oahu for Biz a lot. Called about dropping in and asked what the WOD is. They don’t give the info out. Says it’s tradition. Asked well what is the focus? Shoulders? Legs? CrossFit doesn’t work if I did all snatches yesterday and surprise myself with the same for a drop in. Was told it’s “just a WOD” so drop in if I choose to. Not conducive to fitness management. The secrecy regarding what’s programmed isn’t the safest for athletes. I’d def shop around if you’re visiting the area.
Amazing gym! 5- Stars!I own a CrossFit gym in San Diego and visited CrossFit Oahu because they hosted the CrossFit Specialty Course: Adaptive Training.Facility:- Its huge! Tons of space for all kinds of activities- Free, private parking right in front of the gym- Every piece of equipment you could ever want to useStaff:- Highly educated (every degree and certification possible) and very knowledgeable- They make you feel welcome every time you walk in the door- They provide a safe and effective training environment for any level of athlete (beginner to competitor)Id be a member if I lived anywhere on the island!
Was on vacation during 19.4 and popped in here. They didnt charge and were extremely helpful. Its such a great big gym. If I lived there, I would definitely be a member!
Last week was my first time ever trying CrossFit, after the first visit I was hooked. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. I was initially intimidated because I’m new at this but almost immediately the jitters went away. Decided to sign up and I’m happy to call this place my new CrossFit home.
One of the best facilities on the island. My wife and I dropped in on the last day of 2018 for a holiday WOD and it was really fun! Our first drop in was even free! Definitely, would have been my box if I lived in Oahu.
My family and I travel here for business. I am a Crossfit coach myself for the last 7 years and Olympic lifting certified. I just competed in granite games as a masters athlete and looking to get myself in the games next round!Hands down....this place is great. There is plenty of equipment to take on large classes, lots of space and obviously I watch the coaching to learn tips for myself when I coach. That being said....love how involved the coaches are with their classes. Very informative and also challenging their athletes to push themselves beyond comfort! Love it!Plan on making this my place while I’m in town from now on.
Great gym. Dropped in for the open and they were easy to work with. No charge. More than adequate equipment.
Very nice Box, great atmosphere, felt welcome!
Man I really felt the island spirit at Crossfit Oahu. I dropped in for a workout while attending a conference and was warmly greeted to attend for the WOD for free. Owner Bryant was an awesome coach covering all the points of performance, scaling options and leading us through a thorough warm up and workout. The environment was both challenging and encouraging and the people were really friendly. Wished I could have come back for another!
Such a great crossfit box! I highly recommend them. The hospitality was really awesome. The box was so big, super fresh and nice.I really enjoyed my time there! It was so nice of them to welcome visitors with such open arms. Go there and have a good time, you won’t be disappointed.
CrossFit Oahu was very welcoming while my wife and I were visiting Waikiki on vacation. The coach was knowledgeable, the members were welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was great. We will definitely drop in again anytime we are in Oahu.
I looked at dropping in on 3 CF affiliates and chose CrossFit Oahu, and glad I did! Lots of classes, large but inviting facility, easy to talk to coaches and members, and a great workout! When Im back in Oahu, Ill be back for sure! Aloha!
Dropped in twice August 17 at the Kailua location. Programming was great and the trainers were very friendly. The early AM classes have a great membership participation and everyone promoted a positive community atmosphere. Will definitely return (hopefully when shirts are in stock :) ).
Dropped in a few times during my vacation, fantastic box, great coaching, highly recommended! The place to go for crossfit when youre visiting Oahu
Dropped in and it was a good experience until one of their members decided they wanted my pull up bear komplex grips. A gym is only as good as its members. Those grips arent cheap.
Great coaching and I love that they have classes 7 days a week. Only box I visit when I’m on island.
Ok, this is long overdue. I first visited CFO back in August 2015 and trained there roughly 5-6 days a week until June 2018. I immediately appreciated both the facility and the coaches. At the time, being a new comer to Crossfit I was unsure about, well...everything. The coaches took a deliberate approach to educate me about the class structure and went out of their way to ensure I was training with both intensity and safety/good form in mind. I have since traveled to an additional 12 different locations around the US and am always happy to be able to train with THIS particular crossfit affiliate! I really cant recommend it enough, especially for any newcomers to the sport!
Came to Oahu on vacation and dropped in for a few classes. Met a few coaches and all of them were friendly, knowledgeable and motivating. The classes werent the toughest but definitely was enjoyable and made me sweat! The class sizes were surprisingly big too - which made it all the funner. Most people looked like they knew each other and some introduced themselves to me as well which made it funner.Overall, great experience and I wish I had this gym close to me back home - Id be a member for sure.
Fun WOD. Very inviting. Mahalo! Will come back next time we visit.
Dropped in while I was in Honolulu for vacation for two weeks. Great gym and great people! Thank you Coach Courtney, Tiffany and Herald for having me! You guys are awesome! I will definitely become a member if I ever move to Honolulu area!
Dropped in in 2015 whilst on vacation from Australia. Facilities were good, the coach was less than welcoming, as were the members. However the receptionist was amazing and so helpful, I wish I remembered her name! This box was ok.
Such an awesome box! The coaches are really great and so are the members. They welcome people of all fitness levels and make working out enjoyable. Go checkout their free sessions at Tuesday 7pm or Saturday 10am! You can go to as many free sessions as you like!
Been a member since 2011. Best box in Hawaii. Coaches are great, members are great and friendly. We always welcome visitors. Great to meet people from all over the world!!!
I love CrossFit Oahu! I am a marathon runner and was looking to use crossfit for my cross training and this is the place to do it! All the people and coaches are awesome! I highly recommend you go here if you are looking to get a great workout and change your life!
Fun, Upbeat, Friendly, Supportive, and Encouraging are all words I would use to describe CrossFit Oahu!! I signed up for the 6-weeks to a New You Challenge and it has been so amazing. I feel great, my family has commented that I have a lot more energy and seem a lot more happy, and my friends have said that I look tinier! I am physically stronger and I can see the muscle definition forming on my body. I have been lazy when it comes to nutrition, going more for convenience than anything else, so the nutrition aspect of the ’New You’ Challenge has definitely made me more aware of what I put in my body! I am hooked on Crossfit and definitely am continuing with it even though the 6-week challenge is over.
After a bad experience at a different box on island I decided it was time to give the big box in town a try. I am so glad that I did, great coaching and the 1-1 sessions are amazing. If youre willing to be honest with yourself about things you need to work, and are honest with the staff of CrossFit Oahu, youll make progress faster than you ever thought possible. I got there unable to string double unders or kick up into a handstand and within my first week of there style training I had both skills figured out and thats only the beginning.
Love the drop in policy! Friendly members and awesome coaches. Will be back!
Went here for drop in today at 9am . Big facility with great equipment and welcoming atmosphere :) thank you Coach Courtney for pushing us today.
I travel to Honolulu on business 3 or 4 times a year. I have dropped in for work outs here and done Open workouts here at least 20 or 30 times. The community is great, the coaches are friendly, the facility is large and well equipped. I read some of the negative reviews here, but none of this has been my experience (maybe there was a personality conflict or something). I can say nothing bad about this box. If you are visiting Oahu, or live there, it makes sense to go down and visit CrossFit Oahu.
This gym has very knowledgeable coaches who really take the time to ensure proper form is met. The community is also one of the best Ive seen.
Great coaches. Spacious box. Challenging wods. One of my favorite CrossFit’s !
Awesome place to get a wod in, especially if you work in downtown Honolulu like I do. Convenient location, coaches are super helpful and friendly, and a very supportive community all around. Plus, you can go to their other locations (5 total!).
Dropped into an inclusive and versatile class, was sore for days. Instructor was fun, knowledgable and there was an emphasis on not straining too much and stretching before.
Like most Crossfit gyms the people and coaches were very friendly. If your from a colder climate, be prepared to sweat a lot! Also, the humidity naturally causes the bars to rust a bit so I recommend wearing clothing you can get a little dirty..... Not many Boxs have a free drop-in fee which I thought was pretty cool!
Great place to workout! Friendly coaches, awesome facility. Gonna come back every time I visit.
Staff was extremely friendly and the box was very spacious. All of that combined with a super easy drop in process (no fee for up to two weeks) makes going to this fantastic box a no brainer! At the time, they were out of tshirts but they had some sweatshirts which I gladly purchased. I love supporting great boxes and this is one I will be going back to for sure!
Crossfit Oahu is an awesome box to get a WOD in! Convenient location right in the heart of Downtown, Honolulu so its really close to Waikiki for those visiting Hawaii and also wants to get a workout in while on vacation. The coaches here are super awesome and friendly. Not to mention, the members are also like family as well. Dont hesitate to stop by. Youll have a great time!
Love love this central location, all the coaches, the large facility, the ability to check out other CFO locations on island and their schedule. Its my go to on my way back home fm work and I enjoy all their extra programs and competitions that are put on throughout the year. Ive been here for nearly 4 yrs now and love how this box has so much aloha. Visitors fm other boxes are welcomed with open arms here as well. Cant imagine working out anywhere else!
Had a great time with Justin and the crew who trained, great box and quite a good location
Dropped in while visiting the island from Seattle. It was a 9am class on a Wednesday and Coach Courtney was there when we first walked in. She told us that the drop in fee was free first visit, then you can subscribe to a package that fits your weekly/monthly needs after that.My first impression was that the box was huge, compared to others Ive been to. All the equipment was neatly stacked and had plenty of rigs, barbells, even a ton of foam rollers and mobility tools.Coach Courtney went over the WOD, then we did about 20-30 mins of mobility, which I really needed and appreciated. The wod was similar to FGB style with 1 min max effort of Rx barbell movement then 30 secs of max pull ups then 30 secs rest x 4.She did a great job of coaching people their technique and doing a class led warm up before the wod started.After, we chatted a bit and bought a tank top to support the box. Overall, solid coaching and programming would recommend for anyone visiting. Mahalo Crossfit Oahu for the hospitality!
Dropped in for one class when on vacation from North Carolina, and had high expectations based on the previous reviews. I did not feel welcomed, I was not introduced, no members spoke to me, and I was the only drop in in a class of about 13 or 14. It was a strange experience. The only reason it gets 2 and not 1 star is that the coach seemed knowledgeable and the drop in was free, other than that it was not a positive experience.
Had a great workout with CrossFit Oahu, at first it is a big intimidating gym but the staff are friendly and the WOD was great with good guidance from the Courtney! (Ill keep working on the great pointers you gave me, see you next time)
Great box, friendly staff and a very nice drop in policy. Great place to get your crossfit fix during your vacation.
Awesome gym, great people, friendly and fun. Equipment is well used at this facility.
CrossFit Oahu was like a dream come true walking in, but at the same time totally intimidating. The coaches made the feeling of intimidation totally go anyway. Courtney and Marc were Awesome! Left feeling great...exhausted, but great!
NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE OR FALL FOR THIS MESSED UP SCAM! New You Challenge (556 Reed LN, Crossfit Gym)So I went to the New You Challenge on 556 Reed Ln today and it was a total disappointment and what a shame that they are running such a bigoted, racist and poor quality gym. I arrived 10 mins early to get myself acquainted and to check in and right from the start I get attitude from the woman behind the desk (mind you that while walking into the gym everyone in the gym looks at you like you dont belong there and you cant tell who staff and whose a member) I let her know I was here for the New You Challenge and she looked at me like I didnt belong there and asked me if I was sure I was supposed to be here, I informed the woman that I had a 6 PM appointment to meet with a trainer and she had the nerve to say that it doesnt look like I belong here and she escorted me to the corner of her reception desk and said wait till someone was available. I am getting very vexed at this point and Im not a person to be made to feel as if I am looser at all but this woman made me feel that way and I dont know if it was because I was Black, Gay and/or out of shape or all 3 but, this first impression is not sitting well well me. So, now I am in my corner waiting on someone to help me and 6 PM came and went and now it 6:10 PM, now Im pissed not only is this person late, I hear 2 people from this gym who are passing by me, as I waiting for someone to help me say what is that and staring at me while they are saying this. So, if you know me you know how pissed I am at this point; so instead of hauling off and telling these members/employees where to go and mess them up in the process I decide to leave.I didnt realize that when you go to a CrossFit (556 Reed Ln #newyouchallenge ) gym for this New You Challenge you get treated like a bastard step child who is not wanted to be seen or heard. To top it all off I paid this company $150.00 for this I should have at the least gotten common courtesy and punctuality. So during all of this the trainer who was supposed to train me only bother to call me around 6:30 PM and after I called the LA Office of the New You Challenge and told them I want my money back.I would not recommend the New You Challenge to anyone and it is definitely not worth the money you will spend, time you will put in, aggravation it will cause you, the unrelenting desire to beat everyone staring and pointing at you like your a deformed monster and most of all to be treated like you are a second class citizen seems to be their motto. So Please stay away from this hype, racist and cliquish organization. I am soooooo upset right now it is unreal and I really want to unleash my anger on those people but, I am happy I took the adult way out and did not result to whoppin some peoples ass!!!!!!
I missed the scheduled class but asked if I could still get my WOD in. They were very accommodating and I showed my appreciation by buying a shirt; a very nice one by the way. Drop in here!
Love my coaches and the feedback they give me. One big ohana and awesome facility. Thank you crossfit Oahu!!
CrossFit Oahu is hands down the best establishment in the Hawaiian Islands! With multiple locations (5) on Oahu serving you, theres no excuses why you cant fit in a Work Out of the Day. They also have a variety of time schedules throughout the day at every location with a variety of specialized coaches! You can learn something new every time from someone different or stick to a coach in your favor! I especially love the weekend beach BBQ WODs that they have on occasion. You cannot beat the Ohana feeling and the best camaraderie on the planet! Just the other day, I got the pleasure of meeting the owner Bryant Powers and he is the most down to earth and enthusiastic person ever! I stand by him and his fine establishments 110%! I am now a strong supporter of this amazing, life changing way to get in the best shape of your life! As a professional Powered Hang Glider on Oahu, Hawaii, big wave surfer and extreme sport junkie, the functionality of CrossFit has helped me reach new heights and perform everything I do in life on a whole new level! You cannot put a price on the quality of how you live your life and the amazing things you will accomplish both mentally and physically with CrossFit Oahu - No ka oi!
This is a world class box. Ive been in some dead boxes and some extremely lively ones - CFO is at the top. Solid programming, effective clinics and a kickass culture. Every WOD comes with scaled options, RX and challenge for RX level. Coaches are not winging it. Even when classes get big, the box is spacious enough to handle it and never runs out of equipment. Quarterly personal strength goals are unique and effective; makes you want to stay on top of it even while traveling. Head coach is a nutrition Ph.D. which means the annual nutrition challenges are on point.
Kenny Patton training is the best. He is excellent working with kids.
Great box!!!! Members and coaches are awesome. Clean gym and great equipment!
We visited Crossfit Oahu for an OpenGym session during our Honolulu vacation. On the plus site the drop in was for free and the box is well equipped. Unfortunately, we did not find the well-known and friendly Crossfit atmosphere. The lifting area with all the nice platforms were closed for guests. Although one of the trainers was lifting there during the whole time, we were not allowed to join there. Okay, so I did my clean & jerks next to the racks in an open spot, even though it felt pretty stupid in the beginning and made absolutely no sense to me. However, overall we had a nice training, but I think next time I rather go to another box.
Amazing very professional artist &Hume bean
I derive great pleasure participating in fitness excercise at CrossFit Oahu.
I was tired of going to the gym, doing bench press, bicep curls, tricep extensions and hitting the treadmill. I needed something to push me outside of my comfort zone. While Ive completed an ultramarathon, ran multiple marathons and triathlons Ive never done CrossFit before and I was nervous. My son and I signed up for the private Essentials class due to a crazy schedule and it was money well spent. Marc was super helpful and walked us through everything in great detail and was so patient. Ive never been able to squat or deadlift due to lower back pain, but realized I had been doing it wrong my whole life. Marc showed me proper form and technique and now I can squat AND deadlift and my back pain has actually gone away.While weve only been at it for about 2 months, we train 4-5 days a week and absolutely love it. The coaches are knowledgable, correct your form and give you tips without making you feel like an idiot. I cant imagine going back to just leg day or just chest/biceps day. Every day is a push outside of my comfort zone and the workouts are intense enough to challenge my mental toughness, but can be dialed back for movements that I cant yet complete (multiple pullups, hand-stand pushups, etc.)One of my favorite things about CFO is the family-friendly atmosphere. Having been in gyms before that its all about putting on a tough guy persona or catering to people with aggression issues, this place is a place that I can bring my kids, man, Id even bring my mom here and not feel awkward. Ive never hear the coaches swear and the music is PG-rated, which is a big deal for most gyms that Ive been in. Its refreshing to see parents working out with their kiddos, moms doing pullups while baby is asleep in the stroller and guys in their 60s doing overhead squats. I never get the impression that anyone is judging me for what I can or cant do or how much weight Im pushing. All I get is encouragement to do my best.This is the first box that Ive ever been a part of and I cant imagine being anywhere else.
Great atmosphere and great place to workout!
Love this gym!!!
Good coaching, friendly members
Coaches are great and people are wonderful
My girls....
