Makena CrossFit - Kihei, Maui

Paul and the crew at makena CrossFit are the real deal - always welcoming and friendly, these people have it absolutely dialed. Oh and be prepared to work HARD! Top notch programming and coaching, amazing pro shop…the list goes on. Nowhere else I’d even consider training when I’m lucky enough to be on maui. See you guys soon!

Dropped in at Makena Crossfit on a recent vacation and had a wonderful experience! Coach Reilly (spelling?) was really awesome - great balance of welcoming and also challenged attendees appropriately. She gave great tips and managed the class time really well. Thanks to her encouragement I ran the mile faster than I have in my whole life:). The staff & members were very laid back, friendly and welcoming (for all fitness levels). The space is small but they made it work! I would definitely drop in again on future visits to the island.

Ive been dropping in here every year for at least 6 or 7 years now when we vacation in Maui and I always look forward to it! Paul is an excellent coach and runs a tight ship. The programming is dynamic, the gym is clean and tidy, and the members are always warm and friendly. If youre looking for a good work out, this is your place!

I love this gym! I visited most CrossFit gyms in Maui, and this one, in my opinion, is the best. It’s clean, neat, and in a safe area, with lots of space outside to run and plenty of excellent quality equipment inside. Sauna, shower, and towel service inside. Parking is easy to find. The members are super friendly and welcoming, and the coaches are top-notch. Also, there is fantastic merchandise. If you live in Maui or are on vacation looking for a place to improve or maintain your fitness, look no further!

My husband and I signed up for a week pass to this gym on our honeymoon. It felt like our home away from home. We felt so welcome, and the workouts led by the owner, Coach Paul, and the guest coaches from Denmark were fantastic. The community is tight and the vibes are great. We would definitely recommend this as a drop-in gym, or a home gym for those lucky enough to live on the island.

Preston Palmer, supposed owner tried to blackmail our company into doing a flooring repair they bought from a big box store and poured bleach on. He stated in attached picture, he would not remove 1 star review unless we did a repair for him. No thanks Preston

This gym is awesome. Here for the week for vacation and been dropping in at 6am class. Paul is a terrific coach and the class is very welcoming to visitors. The setup is perfect old school CrossFit. Highly recommend to anyone in town.

Beautiful gym, awesome workout, and even better people! Mountain view on one side, ocean view from the other. I love the open gym concept. Paul, thanks again for a great experience brother. Hope to see you soon!

The best energy, culture & coaching!
It’s the human factor that makes all the difference! The breeze, infrared sauna, free local organic coffee, and the high ceilings are also wonderful. Come see for yourself.

My wife and I came to Maui on our honeymoon and we were looking for a place to drop-in. Paul, Sveta, and the whole crew welcomed us with the upmost aloha spirit. Their strategy for helping people build happy, healthier lives is wrapped up into effective, injury free programming and a rockstar community. Thank you guys so much! We can’t wait so come back again on our anniversary.

Went to Makena CrossFit for an 8am class. Easy to register & pay online so no need to fill out anything when you get there. We were greeted by Paul, the owner, who was also the coach. While the class wasn’t too crowded, there was a good amount of space with the garage doors open to row in the beautiful Maui outdoors. The workout was a good challenging 20 minute cardio and strength effort. Paul went over all of the movements beforehand although most were self explanatory. Good t-shirts and hats afterward. I would definitely recommend if you’re in Kihei or anywhere else in Maui!

Dropped in a couple times during my honeymoon on Maui, and it was the absolute best way to start my day! This community is amazing, the positive energy is palpable, and everyone is so welcoming. The location is an interesting hybrid between a regular gym and a CrossFit box, and a day pass will grant you access to both sides!

4 months in and I’m obsessed! Paul, the owner owner is a legend and all the coaches are great!

It’s a super welcoming community I’m extremely grateful to be part of!

Awesome gym with great Owner (Paul) and welcoming members. Not only can you take a CrossFit class but they have a full globo gym as well. They you can drop in and take class or you can do your own thing as well. Highly recommended (this is coming from another affiliate owner). Mahalo!

Excellent gym with many options!

My family and I dropped in here while on vacation and loved it. We were able to take a CrossFit class coached by Paul. He offered great coaching and encouragement throughout, making us feel welcome and supported the moment we stepped inside. The members were all really welcoming and made us feel right at home. Our 7 month old was able to join us which was a huge plus! (Of course, he needed to stay in his stroller for safety which was no problem at all)

If CrossFit isn’t your thing, this gym also has plenty of free weights and machines as well as cardio equipment. It really has it all.

We will definitely make this our fitness home away from home next time we’re on Maui. Mahalo!

I can’t say enough great things about this gym! I went here for the first time 6 years ago during my first trip to Maui, and now it’s the thing I look forward to the most every time I come back! This place has the best vibes; chill and relaxed but still a competitive feel if you want it. Paul, the gym owner and coach, will be your biggest fan during your workout, and become your best friend on the island. Love this place!
