I’ve been with them for 6 months now and there’s no going back to 24 Hour Fitness and such. I was over 300 lbs back then and now 40 lbs lighter. I must give credit to my diet, but these guys are keeping my discipline in check for sure even on days when I don’t go to classes. It’s a bit of price jump if you’re coming from low end gyms, but trust me when I say it’s worth every penny. You will get personal attention and help with every movement and problem, they will cheer for you every step of the way and you will feel that your workouts are balanced and done correctly. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the rest of the class in my weight, but there’s no such thing in OTF, they make it work for you and your goals. Please come here even if you have zero gym experience, I wish I knew about them sooner!

This has been my go-to gym since moving on island. The coaches are motivating and encourage me to challenge myself. The workouts are always different, keeping the session fun and engaging. I highly recommend this gym to anyone whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or just starting your fitness journey!

I love to eat, drink, and enjoy life! And so OTF Kakaako is an important part of my weekly routine to stay in shape. I attend 3-5 class per week on average. What keeps me coming back is the friendly and supportive coaches and staff, and the vigorous workout routines that change daily. I mostly attend 60-minute classes which have a treadmill, rowing machine, and floor/weights components. I also love attending the 45-minute lift classes that only focus on full-body weights exercises.

Love love love OTF Kakaako! I used to absolutely hate running and literally could not run for longer than maybe 3 min at a time. However, since joining OTF my endurance has improved tremendously and I’m actually starting to enjoy running! The coaches here are awesome — so encouraging and supportive but also willing to push you when you need it. The front desk staff is amazing as well and always brings the positive energy!

Thanks EK for awesome workouts and pushing us. So fun to visit your gym from the mainland and we enjoyed your energy so much!

Working out at this studio has helped me get much stronger and run faster than I ever could before. The coaches are super energetic, the music is on point, and the front desk is super welcoming. I love that they offer lift classes!

This gym is all you need for your fitness goals! Holds you accountable, workouts are hard but go by quick, fun and engaging challenges, and a really nice community of like minded people. Coaches are amazing. I have been a member of Hawaii OTF for almost 6 years and don't know what i'd do without this place!

I am new to OTF and I'm addicted. I am 3 months postpartum and was nervous getting back into shape after two pregnancies back to back. I've only been going here for a month but I've noticed a huge improvement in myself. I can feel myself getting stronger and faster while also losing the weight in inches. I need. The staff and coaches are amazing and very welcoming. It's the type of community you want to be a part of when you're trying to reach your goals. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!

I joined OTF about 5 months ago and have seen incredible progress! Every month I've been getting stronger, faster, leaner, and some more muscle tone. I love the coaches and staff. The culture is really amazing and keeps me coming back with a smile. I met some awesome friends too :)

Every single person here is so kind. The staff is so helpful and nice. Really great environment. I love the workouts. Highly recommend! It’s perfect for me to come, do my workout & leave! No need to plan workout. Love it!

Always such a great workout and positive, encouraging coaches pushing you through! I’ve made serious gains in my strength and endurance since joining and recommend it to everyone!

EK is an upbeat and positive trainer. He makes the experience enjoyable every time I show up. Highly recommend.

I was a not sure how the first work out would go or how I would feel about the environment, but right away the staff was as welcoming and it was a very comfortable atmosphere, the music was fun and the coach very helpful throughout the whole workout. Amazing work out and feeling motivated to keep going!

Always an amazing experience here with the Crew at OrangeTheory! Coaches EK and Ikaika are simply the best at helping me get the most out of each and every workout here. Even on those days "I don't wanna," it's as easy as showing up, and the Staff here gets me that much needed boost to help finish my day out strong, productive, and feeling accomplished. Solid recommend, can't recommend them enough, actually! There's always parking in the SALT At Our Kakaako Garage, or you can opt for one of the many nearby street spots. OTF validates your parking ticket for you. I've been paying only a dollar to park here, which is a good deal for convenient, safe parking. Seriously, if you've read this far, you should probably go ahead and treat yourself to one of the best workout experiences I can think of anywhere.

I don't know if I came on a bad Saturday morning or if there is an issue with the type of people Kaka'ako attracts (although people at my climbing gym are all very cool) - the blonde lady at the front desk had such an attitude.. which is very different from my experience at OTF Waikiki where everyone behaved with such friendliness and professionalism. My questions were received with hostility and when I pointed out the conflicting information given to me by the coach and the front desk, she glared at me and didn't seem to care. There was another black-haired lady at the front desk who was much more helpful, apologized for the misinformation, and proceeded to answer my questions in detail and with professionalism. My opinion is that if you are going to work a customer-facing job (most jobs these days), it is important to deliver the facts straight, which increases trust, and deliver it with a good attitude, which increases loyalty. Neither of these were exhibited by the blonde front-desk lady. Class itself was good and fun as usual. I recommend using the earbuds if the music is too loud as it can be in enclosed fitness classes. I liked the private large shower-room at this location, but there is only 1 shower and 1 bathroom (separate) so if there is anyone waiting, you might feel rushed at this location. The OTF Waikiki has a shared shower-bathroom that is much larger, equipped with 2 showers, 2-3 bathrooms, and a sink area, so there would be less pressure to do things quickly because you won't be in anyone's way. All-in-all, while OTF Kaka'ako is closer to home, I would prefer to go to OTF Waikiki for the welcoming, friendly, high-quality, and professional services from all staff members. But I'll likely occasionally visit this location for the sake of convenience, hopefully, catching them on a better day. — EDIT: 6/6/2023 — After visiting a few months in, I realize my first impression was definitely just a first impression. Anna (the black haired lady from my first experience), Sahara, and the front desk ladies have been great. I encountered the lady from the first experience again only once. And the coaches (coach Ikaika, Arma, EK, and Kristle) are all very experienced and fun. Thank you for being patient and helpful! This is now my home gym 😊

I moved to Oahu in April and was bummed that I had to switch home gyms, but I adjusted really quickly with the staff and members here. Everyone is super high energy and we love to see each other grow and reach personal goals! Highly recommend for anyone visiting or moving to the area :) **side note: the easiest parking arrangement out of all the Hawaii studios imo**

Different workout menu every day I won't get bored. Staff are friendly and helpful!

I'm visiting from out of town and decided to join the class in Honolulu. The staff was super friendly, my coach had some great energy, and there was plenty of parking, which was validated at OTF. Overall it was a great experience!

Everyone is so welcoming and engaging! The atmosphere was upbeat and focused on the workout without high pressure. I completed a 568cal workout on the first session and I will be returning!

Epitomizes High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): combines cardio and strength into workouts. Even running trails, beach paths, and the Hawaiian sun do not outshine the total effectiveness of a workout at Kakaako OrangeTheory.

Great workouts! Great coaches! Good variety, appropriate intensity, every day the workouts are the same all over the country so I can share my workout experiences with friends and we can encourage each other even if they live on the east coast and I live in Hawaii!! Great concept! It’s easy to stay motivated with OTF

Killer workouts and the coaches are seriously dedicated and just flat out good people. Ryan and Gabe are the ones I see most often bc of my schedule and they make each workout fun and motivating. I've improved my run time enormously since starting here, running 2 miles in under 18 for the first time since hurting my neck and having spine surgery 3 years ago. Started out walking and have progressed to regularly running sprints or all outs at a 6 minute mile pace. ❤

Great space. Awesome staff. Really enjoyed my class. Looking forward to the next visit.

It’s a great place to jump start your fitness and improve on your own time. Helps to have someone tell you what to do and inspire you to push yourself.

Orangetheory Kaka’ako has been my studio for the last year and a half and I couldn’t be happier with the staff (shout out to Hannah!), the coaches (EK!) and the facility itself. I’ve never left without a great workout under my belt. Recently I had to freeze my membership due to a life event and the process was smooth to freeze and resume. Fantastic studio and I’ll be coming for a long time to come.

fun atmosphere. great uplifting music. challenges you in a good way!

The variety of exercises was great & our coach was very motivational!!

I called the get some information on prices and membership. The employee on the encouraged me to come down, so I did. After I took the time to drive down, they totally switched the prices on me. I feel it was a classic bait and switch.

LOVE this Gym! The instructors, front desk stuff and the members are all so pleasant!

Love it! The staff & coaches are so friendly, not to mention motivating! Love my home studio OTF Kaka'ako

Great group of coaches and members! Every class is not only fun but a great workout. So happy I found my gym!
