Makena CrossFit - Kihei, Maui

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.

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!

Loved this gym!!!! Hands down the best drop in experience ever. Paul the owner was super welcoming, the classes were super fun and everyone was such a good vibe

We had a week drop in at the gym and had a very pleasant experience. The coaches were very welcoming in getting us set up and the members were friendly. We went to a couple of group classes and used the open gym hours- we’d come back here again when we’re in town, but also view it as a great place to workout and would probably be members there if we were local. Thank you!

Makena crossfit is absolutely a top tier gym. The owner Paul is super knowledgable and his team inviting and professional. Coolest logo in the crossfit community 😎. Highly recommend when in Maui!

When my husband and I moved to the island during lockdown, we needed to find a “community”. We found The Gym Maui + Makena CrossFit and immediately felt like we “belonged”. Paul (the owner) and his staff instructors helped custom tailor our workouts, while the support from others in class cheered us on, even when we’re not the fastest, strongest or fittest. We love that we can find a class time that works with our ever-changing schedules. If you want a “community” that will allow you to learn at your pace, you’ll find it here!

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.

I first came to Makena 3 years ago and had the BEST TIME! The community was so friendly and welcoming and Paul made the box feel like my home away from home! So much so, that 3 years later, I came back and stayed for a month!

Everyone at Makena and The Gym is awesome! They care deeply about members and visitors alike. The workouts were great and the vibe is always rockin in there! I have recommended the gym TO EVERYONE THAT GOES TO MAUI! There's no place like it and if you're ever in Kihei you should definitely stop in!

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!

I LOVE this gym and had such a fun week dropping in at Makena CrossFit. Paul is an amazing coach- super knowledgeable, professional, supportive, and welcoming. All of the members were extremely friendly, motivating, and fun to train with. I love the atmosphere and vibe of Makena crossfit. Great programming and overall amazing place to train. Would (and will) recommend to all friend’s visiting Maui. Thanks Paul- you’re the best!

We love visiting new CrossFit gyms when we travel, and I can’t recommend Makena CrossFit enough. You’ll feel welcomed from the moment you step into the gym. Great coaching focused on movement quality and consistency over intensity. As a physio and CF-L1, love how Paul is running things. We even brought my father-in-law to his first class here!

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!

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 favorite go to CrossFit gym in Maui. The workout program had me sweating out the Kalua pork and the alcohol I’ve consumed during my vacation. Paul is amazing. He’s welcoming, the members are super friendly, lots of Merch to choose, you’re trying to buy items to take back home for souvenir. Totally worth it. I’d be back for another drop in the future. Love them

Great people and Great Positive Energy from everyone at Makena Crossfit! Really nice Equipment and Great Location! 11/10 Recommend!

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!

Makena CrossFit is by far The Best CrossFit Gym on the Island. This gym has it all! Definitely a noteworthy spot for all locals or tourists wanting to get a great workout in

Awesome! Paul is energetic, motivating and makes you feel right at home in his gym. I would highly recommend dropping into this box if you are visiting Maui and looking for a great workout. Paul and his team have really turned this place around after taking ownership and we will most certainly be back. It also helps that there is an amazing smoothie/acai bowl/coffee trailer right outside the doors for after your workout. Make sure to say hi to Holly when you order 😊

This is the gym you’ve been looking for! I cannot recommend Makena Crossfit enough. Whether you’re just getting into fitness, want to get back to your former glory days or a veteran crossfitter you must check this place out! Coach Paul is an absolute treasure and treats everyone with more respect and care than I’ve ever seen at a gym. The amount of knowledge, fun and fitness that he brings into this place is top notch. It Doesn’t matter if you’re on the island for a week or a year, you’re time spent here is not wasted. Go meet Paul and the crew!

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!
