The absolute best gym experience I’ve ever had. I love the smaller training sessions, the trainers pay attention to you and help you with proper form. I’ve been pushed to my limit and done things I was always scared to do. This gym has reignited my passion for working out and I look forward to working out each day. Elena (owner) has helped me and encouraged me since day 1. It’s even better when she texts you to check in and see how you’re doing. If you’re looking for a new gym home, you’ve found it. AmitTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A Hidden Gem for Health Enthusiasts! I’ve been to a number of gyms, but this one stands out for all the right reasons. The entire space is immaculately clean, thoughtfully organized, and clearly run by people who genuinely care about wellness — not just workouts. Elena is highly professional and welcoming, and the training team? Super friendly, knowledgeable, and always encouraging. Whether you're a beginner or looking to step up your game, there’s a program that actually fits your goals and lifestyle. If you're looking for a health-focused, uplifting, and results-driven fitness center — this is it. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their health and happiness! 💪✨ Taahir JagotTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For the longest time I have been joining Gyms, going for a bit and then I drop off. I have never been so consistent since joining mauka fitness. I love being part of the classes because The personal trainer is able to modify the sessions based on my abilities It makes it more affordable for me and I have made some great friends that keep me motivated to keep coming back! I have lost almost 15 lb so far and I actually look forward to going to the gym now. Wendy ArandaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started Mauka Fitness with Elena one year ago to date as a 16 week challenge to gear up for a summer family vacation. I assumed I’ll stop going when I return from my vacation. Yes I lost weight but I also gained confidence and strength. I train most mornings with Jaime and each session is very challenging, yet he makes CrossFit fun by partnering us up, which keeps me coming back for more. All the trainers take the time to explain proper weight lifting techniques and provide valuable advice on nutrition and overall wellness. I appreciate Elena’s support and encouragement which has made all the difference in my progress and confidence. Elena goes above and beyond and texts me in the evening showing she truly cares about my success and helps to push me beyond my limits. She reminds me to believe in myself! I'm so grateful for the guidance of everyone at Mauka Fitness which seems more like a family than a gym. Erica VTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place for personal training. Trainers show a vested interest in your progress and work with you despite any modifications that are required to fit your needs. Dorothy De Los ReyesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a member of this gym since April of last year, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I knew I needed to better myself and in being a member here, I have gained so much more energy in my day-to-day life, as well as results that I'm super proud of. It's really a rewarding personal accomplishment. Though a smaller facility, it's a great atmosphere that packs a mighty punch! I've always felt intimidated by the bigger chain gyms that didn't offer such personalized touches. The trainers I've worked with (Elena, Jaime, Kevin, Mabeline, and Anika) are friendly and knowledgeable, and they’re always ready to help or offer advice and that extra push, sometimes shove (in a good way), when needed. I particularly love the group fitness classes they offer, which include several components of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), weight-lifting, stretching, compound exercises, etc. The trainers are motivating and truly care about your progress. What I appreciate the most is the sense of community here. It’s not just a gym; it feels like a place where everyone is working towards their fitness goals together, with positive reinforcement and encouragement. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to get fit in a supportive, motivating environment! With consistency and dedication, you'll be amazed at your results in no time! Roshni PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elena and the trainers at Mauka are amazing! I was hesitant to train at other fitness gyms in the past, but Mauka completely changed that. They make you feel comfortable, are incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely care. If I ever move away, I’d still find a way to come back for my workouts! Isaish DelossantosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Muaka Fitness and its staff are incredible! The environment is amazing. The knowledge and motivation they give to their clients are incredible. Muaka is changing my fitness lifestyle one day at a time.
