Dropped in for a class while on vacation and was welcomed with a big "Aloha" from the coach and regulars. The workout was TOUGH which is the whole point. Will come back next time I'm in Kona.

It's an absolute blast starting the day with the 5:15am crew. Everyone is super positive, ready to begin their day with a challenge, and Coach Andy doesn't let any excuses stand in the way of being your best even before the sun comes up.

Excellent CrossFit gym. Easy access for a drop in like me from out of town and at the same time very friendly. I was coached by 3 different coaches and all knew their stuff. Good workouts too!I recommend and would come back myself.

I felt very comfortable the first time I went, the hardest part is getting started! Now I can’t wait to go back. Andy is very accommodating to my beginner level and I was taken care of.

Came to the big island and needed a place to do my workouts. The coaches here did a great job and keeping the classes going and ensuring people were following proper form. Their website is extremely helpful with all the information needed for visitors to drop in. They have a wide variety of time slots to chose from. The community was great and helped push you through the tough parts of the workouts. If I am visiting Kona again will definitely be coming back.

I was on a vacation and wanted to drop in at near by crossfit. This was a perfect setup. Enjoyed the workout. I also PR’d my Double unders here. Coaches were friendly and inviting(Coach Michael was instructing the 5 pm class and he is interested in learning languages. Be ready to get greeted in Russian even if you don’t know russian ?)Unfortunately, there system was down during payment for one time drop jn and coach Andy was kind enough and gave me a free class. You have to book before 3:00 pm if you are willing to drop in at 5:00 pm. I didn’t know that and I just showed up at 4:50 pm and I was lucky there were few slots open

Dropped into this box on day two of our vacation. Emailed and got a response right away. A good sized gym, lots of space and lots of equipment. Coach Andy and the rather large crew welcomed me right in.The workout was designed for an strength and power and was very challenging. Started with stretching with a run followed by some active and passive stretching. The warmup also included work with the barbell going over the primary movements of the day. I always like stretching especially areas that are going to get work, I need all kinds of stretching.The workout was timed but you were encouraged to keep working, I like that we had movements that were repeated in both parts of the workout. Very challenging and Coach Andy was attentive and gave great feedback!Great gym, very relaxed and a very friendly group of early risers.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a box either to visit or call home. Quality training in a top notch facility!

This place is awesome. I've been to Crossfit gyms before but this is the only one I've ever stuck with. Everyone that works at Pohaku has been super helpful, friendly and funny and the same goes for the other patrons who work out there. I've learned a lot and gotten in much better shape.

Great and friendly community! I felt very welcomed by Pohaku CrossFit community. The coaches are always there to encourage and teach the necessary skills for an effective and injury-free workout! I would definitely recommend it. By far the best workout place in the big island.

For anyone who might be visiting Kona and wants to hook up with a cross fit trainer while there, my husband and I highly recommend Nate Konecky at Pohaku Crossfit in Kailua. We were there for a couple of weeks and Nate was great in terms of adjusting workouts to fit what we do with trainer at home and our ability level. He was careful to make sure that we were challenged, but not attempting things beyond our abilities or where we might be injured. He could not be more pleasant and knowledgeable, both about exercise and about Kona. He was very good at supervising to make sure we did not "cheat" so we got the most out of our workouts. The gym is solid and has everything one reasonably needs, regardless of ability level. The addition of Nate definitely improved what is always a good vacation on the Big Island

I joined CrossFit Pohaku a few months ago. I have to commend and recommend the instructors at the gym. I have some issues with my shoulder and they are working with my limitations and made sure I’m not hurting my body. By now that area is strong and my mobility is in full range. I love the camaraderie between everyone. And I thank them for encouraging me every time I come. I’m looking forward to every class. Thank you Andy for creating this gym.
