NuFitness Lifestyle

I just celebrated my 2^nd anniversary as a NuFitness member and I love working out at NuFitness more today than when I first joined. NuFitness has truly changed my life for the better.
I’m fortunate to generally have a slim physique, even after having 2 children. But, as any woman will tell you, your body changes after bearing children. Long story short, I wasn’t happy with my body and, therefore, suffered from low self-​esteem. I was discouraged and lack the motivation to do something about it. It was something that I wallowed in for more than 5 years.
When I signed up to do a trial week at NuFitness, I didn’t think I would be joining this gym. I thought I would be checking out some free classes and then move on to something else. But, after doing just one class (Ben’s Cardio Combat), I was hooked! The class was a lot of fun, I got a great workout and the people were awesome! I was motivated to try and ultimately ended up enjoying their boot camps and TRX classes. I cancelled my YMCA membership and signed up with NuFitness.
Ben and Erykah, the owners of NuFitness, truly cared in helping me to change for the better. They took the time to answer my questions and made suggestions to help me in my quest to become a stronger and healthier person. I was motivated and enjoyed coming to work out on a regular basis. As I continued to work out, I saw changes in my body and two years later, I can confidently say that I am a healthier, stronger and much happier person since joining NuFitness. This change has made a positive impact in my marriage and helped me to be a good role model for my children.
I encourage anyone who wants to make the change to live a healthier lifestyle to check out NuFitness! :)

Over a year and a half later and I still love it! They’ve only gotten better. Highly recommend everyone check them out!

I had the bariatric surgery aka — «The Sleeve» about two years ago and when the Dr. gave me the go ahead to workout, I wanted to find a gym that was more personal and would help me as I could physically get more active. Ben and Erykah and the rest of the personal trainers really motivated me and made working out so much fun that I ended up doing 2 and sometimes 4 classes a day. Yes, I know that sounds like over kill but the amazing trainers and the variety of classes kept me coming back for more. I have now lost a total of 105 lbs. and feel great, I am in the best shape of my life. The NuFitness Ohana has given me the ability and the resources to make me a better me. I have done 1 Spartan, 1 Makahiki Challenge and few races with Team Nufitness that I have really enjoyed, not to mention the countless friendships I have made. Thank you NuFitness you Rock!

NuFitness is awesomeee-​for so many different reasons!
I’ve been going to Nufitness for the past few months and have literally fallen in love with that place. Between personal training sessions with Erykah and the awesome variety of classes, I am there 6 days a week. And I don’t have to drag myself there that often, it’s actually something I look forward to! I’ve tried different gyms and online workouts, but none of them have made me as motivated as the staff and the fitness setting at NuFitness. I don’t feel judged or discouraged like I did at other gyms.
When it comes to the staff; they are great! Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and motivating. The trainers make you laugh during your workouts while pushing you to new limits, and they provide modifications for different levels of difficulty which makes it easy to follow without getting discouraged.
The variety of classes makes it easy for anyone to join. I started my morning out the other day with a cardio combat class that included fast paced kick boxing moves… and then ended my day with a yoga class that was outside on the balcony under the stars! They have Surfset classes which aren’t offered anywhere else and are so fun!
This place really is the best. They make you feel like family, they are genuinely interested and invested in helping you succeed and they make you eager to go back for more!!!

Nufitness is by far my favorite gym I have ever been to. Whether you’re new to working out or are really looking to be challenged, there is something here for everyone. Because it is run as a class based gym you never get bored because you are always doing something new and each class is always different from the next. It keeps your body and mind guessing enough that you know you are getting more fit and also keeping your mind entertained and not bored. Ask just for reference before this I was a just a cardio machine kind of girl at the gym. I played college volleyball but after leaving the structure of practice and the sport I definitely felt lost as far as what to do on my own.
So aside from the classes, which are all awesome (I especially enjoy all the boot camp based classes), what really makes this place special are the trainers and staff. I even feel weird call them staff only because everyone here is a family and they have become my friends. They make such a point of learning your name and getting to know a little more about you and your goals.
I love that everyone who works here knows who I am and will always hold me accountable to working hard no matter who is teaching the class. It really ensures that I get the most out of my time here but also the most out of my money.
Nufitness is a no judgement gym and they have really helped me in striving to reach my weight loss goals.

NuFitness has changed my life! After knee surgery and gaining a bunch of weight, I felt like crap and finally had enough. In my past life, I hated going to gyms cuz it felt like people would judge me and it seemed like a testosterone meat market. But with the NuFitness crew, it’s more like ohana! Everyone is so supportive — there are all shapes and sizes and all ages, from 18 to 80+! Since joining NuFitness just over a year ago, I have lost about 35 lbs — — I’m not done yet, but it’s a good start, and I actually feel more fit than I ever have in my entire life.
They offer so many different class options, there is something for everyone. And if you feel like a class might be too advanced for you — you’re wrong! There are modifications for every class, so they can cater to all levels within the same class. Bad knees? Don’t squat as low. Go your own pace on the cardio stuff — — as long as you’re moving, that’s what counts! I’ve done so many different classes: TRX, Barre, Surfset, Barbell Pump, and Yoga. Surfset is my favorite and definitely burns a s#!& ton of calories! Try the Buddha Board class for a slower yoga flow that also burns like crazy. All of the trainers are friendly and supportive. Ben, Erykah, Stacie, Sarah and Carli all know their stuff, and you can’t go wrong with them! They are all equally encouraging, supportive and they make the classes fun.
I also meet with Ben for personal training twice a week. He’s awesome! I hooked up with him from the beginning, because he’s been thru his own knee surgeries, so I knew he’d get me. He has whipped my butt into shape, and we have a great time! (Well, he has a great time, while I’m sweating my ass off!) :) My knee will never be 100% but the difference I feel in my knee, and in my entire body, is amazing.
I don’t have kids but the new child watch program is great for parents who want to hit the gym and can’t find a sitter. They also offer Keiki Training programs too.
Street parking is rough at times, so just park at Safeway and walk over (that burns a few extra calories too).
JOIN THIS GYM! You can’t go wrong… :)

My husband discovered Nufitness for me while he was doing crossfit which is not my thing. They have a variety of classes with great trainers. Everyone is nice and very motivating.

I’ve been attending NuFitness Lifestyle for a few months now and I have to say that I keep going back. This has been a major obstacle for me with other gyms, they just didn’t have what it takes to keep me coming back-​well, NuFitness has what they lacked.
First of all-​class variety-​NuFitness has a great variety of classes and they’ve recently added more to their schedule. TRX, surfSet, barre, HIIT, boot camp, and more.
Schedule-​most days classes begin at 6am. I almost wish they had a 5am, but I’m not sure I’d make it! Classes go throughout the day until 7 or 8pm. I do wish they had class on Sundays, but I guess everyone needs (and deserves) a day off! I like how NuFitness has worked out the schedule so that if you have to go every day at 5pm, you’re going to a different type of class each day so you don’t get bored. An awesome feature is the mindbody app that allows you to view the schedule and sign up for classes.
Instructors-​all of the instructors are terrific. They take time to plan out really intense workouts and incorporate a wide variety of modifications to accommodate every level of fitness. I especially love attending Ben’s, Eryka’s, and Stacey’s classes. I find them to be especially motivating and creative. I think they are the main reason I keep going back. I appreciate that each of the instructors takes the time to get to know you personally.

Fun fun place. Great people great workouts too we did the groupon so we chose surfset. We went twice I still have 3 sessions left I need to use. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends

So much fun! NuFitness has something for everyone, whether your an expectant mother or training for the Spartan Trifecta. The classes are upbeat, motivational, and you always leave exhausted but wanting more.
They are the only place that I’ve seen a surf set class (working out on surfboards)! Definitely a must try

Wanna get a workout on a surfboard without heading to the beach? NuFitness Lifestyle has your back! Want TRX, HIIT, barre and so much more? Pick NuFitness Lifestyle!
PARKING/​LOCATION: Street or in adjacent shopping center lots. Three parking stalls are reserved for clients with a personal training session. Studio is located upstairs of Hawaiian Watersports (stairs are located outside, along side of building).
SURFSET: With the SURFSET classes (Build, Burn, Balance, Blend), you get a pretty unique workout on a «surf“board that really tests your core strength. This 1 hour long workout will have you shaking and rocking, not to mention sweating since you’re out in the sun. Don’t forget sunscreen! Personally, I wasn’t quite a fan of it. However, the instructors provide modifications which was very helpful! (Typically held outside unless raining.) You move quickly through each exercise and if you aren’t great with your stability, you might be missing half the workout just trying to get in the right alignment :(By the time you finally get it, you’re on to the next move. Luckily I was able to catch on and feel comfortable on the board relatively quickly, but if you don’t…be in for a rude awakening.
OTHER CLASSES: NuFitness Lifestyle offers a variety of classes such as TRX, BootyBarre, Barbell Pump, and several bootcamps.
Classes can get really full. My BootyBarre class was packed and we were all standing less than an arms length away from each other! Yikes! Others are quite empty (4 – 5 students).
STUDIO: In addition to class area, they have a small «gym» area equipped with weights and machines. Clients can use the equipment while waiting for classes to start. No AC, has fans, but gets pretty hot quickly. I’m all for saving the environment and reducing waste but I did not care for the re-​used towels to wipe down equipment or the single towel to wipe your hands after using the restroom. :/​Maybe I’m just germophobic?
DEALS: If you’re a new client, check out Groupon, Amazon Local, or even Unilocal for some introductory deals! Saves you a ton of money! I purchased a Groupon deal 5 NuFitness and 5 SURFSET classes. Honestly, I only used 4 classes before they expired in 30 days. :(I guess I wasted my money but glad I can say I’ve tried this place.
Overall, I thought the studio wasn’t bad. I, honestly, didn’t care for the workouts as much as some of the other places that I go to, but I can see that other people do get in a really good sweat! Classes are well organized; they just weren’t the workouts that I prefer. Check out their schedules for class times. I was quite disappointed they didn’t offer more classes on the weekends though. 3 classes on Saturdays, no classes Sunday :(Please remember this is only my opinion. You may feel differently as most of the reviews rave about this place! Keep an open mind, you might love it!

I can’t say enough about how much I love this gym. I’ve tried almost every gym or bootcamp in the Kailua area and so happy to have found NuFitness. They offer a variety of classes every day and the trainers are always professional and clearly work together. Love my trainer Carli! She always pushes me and keeps the workouts varied so that I’m never bored.

We love this place!
My boyfriend and I moved to Kailua last July and were lucky enough to meet Ben and Erykah the first day there! We started out with a trial month (I think they do a deal for new members of a cheaper two week trial now) and then have both been doing monthly unlimited memberships since then!
We’re both very athletic and love the variety of classes they offer. The best part about the group classes though, is that people of any level can do it! No matter who you are, you can get an awesome workout from these guys. They managed to find the perfect balance between supportive and motivating.
They also offer personal training if you need a more one-​on-​one workout. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard from others at the gym that it’s great.
The greatest part about NuFitness, though, is the atmosphere. Between Ben and Erykah’s great attitudes, their awesome coworkers Carli, Stacie, Sharon and Sarah, and all the amazing people who go there. I don’t know what I would do without these guys! Keep up the good work!

During the work week, I tryyy to fit in an exercise class in town while I wait for the traffic to ease, but I was in the market for a Kailua-​based workout place, i.e. when I’m more prone to laziness. I’d seen NuFitness offer group deals (and they still do, pretty often), so I took the plunge and snapped up a monthly unlimited group class voucher.
Located above Hawaiian Watersports and CrossFit Kailua, it was fairly easy to find my way considering my hopeless navigational skills (hint: use the outside stairs). The layout opens up into a small foyer, with a training room, yoga studio, and rooftop area. The AMAZING view of Hamakua Marsh, as many others have commented on, is hard to beat.
One big plus (in my book) is that they have afternoon in addition to morning classes. Guys, I am not a morning person by any means, and the likelihood of me working out prior to work is slim to none. So, afternoon classes: yes, please! The variety is also really, really nice. Owners Erykah and Ben (likewise really, really nice people) taught interval and cardio-​based classes (from what I sampled), which reminded me of TKB, way back when I was a 24-​Hour Fitness member. Yoga is (serenely and knowledgeably) taught by several different instructors, and, I find, a welcome complement to a boot camp-​esque regimen!
Since I already have a fitness membership in town, I just bought a 10-​class pass (good for six months). I only wish that Sunday classes were available, but I understand that even fitness gurus need a break too!

I started at NuFitness when we were working out at the park in Kailua. I’m so excited Ben and Erykah have been able to build their business into what it is today. They are the best trainers I have ever had. They both are super knowledgeable and are great at motivating, educating and correcting. The rooftop view and their smiling faces make «going to the gym» an actual fun and pleasurable experience. You will leave sweating. Trust me! TRX, Barbell, and Yoga, Oh My!
The newer class additions/​teachers are great as well. I mean, a free yoga alignment series? How awesome is that. Amanda truly takes the time to go around, make corrections, and explain the ins and outs of yoga for even the non-​yogis. Stacie is awesome as well, with her exuberant attitude and contagious smile.
If you are looking for an eclectic class schedule, a beautiful view, Affordable rates, awesome instructors and a kick-​butt workout. I Highly suggest setting up your free week sample. Believe me, you’ll keep wanting to come back for more.
PS. For those with children, they do have a small play area set up for kids who do well on their own and don’t require constant monitoring. There’s also a bbq table I’ve seen older kids set up to do homework while mom works out.

This place seriously kicks my ass. And in a good way! Every time I visit this place, I am sore for DAYS. Where do I even start?! Tough, yet fun workouts? Sweet and extremely helpful staff members? The glorious views during rooftop classes? Competitive rates for personal training? I’ll just share my experience and do my best to cover it all.
I first found this place through Groupon (thank you Groupon). I purchased the ‘unlimited fitness class + 3 personal trainings’ deal, especially because I’ve been looking into personal training for a long time. I emailed Erykah to set up the personal training days and I received a reply that day. We set up the first personal training day with one of the trainers, Stacie. I arrived to the gym and Erykah immediately greeted me and introduced me to all of the instructors, including my personal trainer, of course. After a quick tour of the place, it was workout time. We went over my goals and what I wish to accomplish through the personal training and we immediately started warming up. Oh you know– various workouts to get the heart rate up– by the end of the warm up, it was only 5 minutes in and I needed a break. Secretly, I wanted to lie down and not move for the rest of the hour. Anyway, the moral of that story is personal training is no joke and I highly recommend it. After my Groupon deal was up, I signed up for personal training with Stacie and it is SO worth it. It’s only been few weeks and I already feel the difference. My push ups has dramatically improved, my core is stronger, and I don’t feel like I’m legit dying after 3 miles. Few weeks, and this? I’m so excited to see where this takes me after few months!
As for the fitness classes– they’re so awesome. They’re fun, innovative, tough (yet doable for everyone of all fitness levels), and seriously effective. I’ve only attended the Bootcamp classes and they’ve all been amazing. I’m always sore afterwards (of course), I sweat a ton during the workout (gross), and the instructors are hilaarrrious. They make it super fun. You can sign up for classes online which is convenient. And the classes are pretty much run all morning and late afternoon Monday through Saturday.
Staff– the sweetest group of people you’ll ever meet. They treat everyone like family! What if I told you after just meeting the staff members briefly the first day and you come back a week later and everyone remembers your name and who you are? I don’t know if it’s because I’m so horrible with names, but that surprises me. They know every one of their members (and it’s a lot). My previous gym didn’t even know I existed even though I was there almost everyday for a year.
Did I mention the rooftop view? Oh my. I can only imagine what the sunrise looks like during yoga. My excuse for not seeing the sunrise myself? Well, hello– I’m a nurse! I’m at the hospital before the sun rises and come home after the sun sets! Ok ok, my real excuse, I just want to sleep until I physically can’t anymore on my days off work. But really, you can see the lake, the mountains, the Pillboxes, all from the roof.
I’m super happy to have found ‘my gym’ here in Kailua. It’s so good you don’t even need a New Year’s Resolution. You see what I just did there?

Loooooooving this place !! I have found the place that I can call my fitness center. I just finished my first free week and will be signing up for my first month soon. Ben and Erykah are great, two of the nicest people and I look forward to coming here every day to get my work out on. During every class I have taken they take the time to help each and every person to get the most out of each exercise. They genuinely care about each person in there and definetely have a way of pushing you. The location is awesome the views are spectacular and I am so happy I found this place.

Love the boot camp & the trainers Ben & Erica. I felt a change after the first week. I have a lot experience in trying different types of exercise with home videos, cross fit and 24 hr fitness. Nufitness is the best fit for for me! I highly recommend it! I’ve been working out with the boot camp classes for about a month now. I love that it constantly has you moving and switching up the movements. It never gets boring and I love the challenge. Plus the roof top is an awesome new place to work out!
