Fitness Forever Pahoa is clean, updated, has friendly staff, great equipment and amenities. I love that they have a water fountain to fill my flask, hydromassage chair, wet or dry sauna, and private restroom/showers. I feel so comfortable coming to the gym, it's almost a second home.

I am very pleased and super excited about the results. I am seeing in my physical fitness working with my personal TrainerTuck. All of the staff are very pleasant, but I would like to singly name Ray as an excellent customer, service oriented, professional young man. The gym is always clean and just a great environment to work out.

I stopped going to classes durring summer because the inside temp said 78F. WARM sauna. Temp reads ONLY 150F! Please fix the temperatures. Saunas go up to 190. Now there's tape on it saying- "Do not adjust"! I don't got time to be in there for an hour. Rather sit in my car in the lot at 180F for 10 minutes and workout at home.

Small, strange locker/sauna bathroom layout, and rude staff (just the one guy). I liked the classes and it’s the only gym around so you become desperate. It does the trick, but I’ll never be back

First I would say there are nice people working there, but the equipment is pretty worn and outdated. $100 a month membership I think is a bit excessive for what you get.
My biggest complaint is when I canceled my membership they charged me $150. That's insane! That's an old business model from the '80s.

l like this place and basically all the staff (especially the great manager) but what really ruins it is Ray’s attitude… not only to myself but many different members, I’ve heard from several different members about him and I can’t believe he has been working there for years! Is he related to someone…? I’ve heard many people talk to management about him but he is still there…

I’ve been working out in gyms all around the world and this one is definitely up there.

Best in the East! The staff are amazing! The facility is super clean! Classes were exceptional! We were visiting Hilo for a week & paid for a week pass. So grateful for an amazing gym experience for the week.
Special shout outs for: Jaxon (greeted us, gave us a tour & answered all questions about the gym / Big Island)... he is a true gem for the gym. Rudy, the assistant manager, super supervisor. Always serving with a smile & servant's heart. Trainer Tuck... his Aloha spirit is contagious. Great group fitness class too! Serah's yoga class was the highlight of my week! The best yoga class & instructor that l've ever experienced. Before class, she greeted everyone individually & asked their needs. She made the class to meet the needs of all! Who else does this?!?! Amy's HITT class was jam packed with the perfect hit! My husband & I can't wait to visit again next time when we travel from Georgia! We can't thank you enough for your Aloha gym experience!

I hesitated for years to join this gym because of the high membership cost, but after recently joining I’m so happy I did. If you take advantage of the classes (Lauren Brown’s is my personal fave) it really makes it worth it. Overall the vibe is super friendly, low key and almost family style. They’re super on it with keeping the gym clean and you get your own personal bathroom instead of locker rooms. The only negative experience I’ve had is stinky guys in the sauna sometimes doing yoga, but alas it is Pahoa! We’re lucky to have this in our little town 🙂

They have a great selection of machines, free weights, and an assortment of classes to take. I want to make a special shout out to, Tuck, one of their FABULOUS trainers!

He genuinely cares about each & every student in his classes and every member in this incredible gym! I love it here!!!

After shopping around I have no doubt that Fitness Forever Puna is the best gym on the island. No doubt whatsoever. The gym is supplied with a large variety of state of the art equipment, it's quite clean and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They have several programs included with membership from a Rapid Fit Class, Qigong and my wife is learning and loving Hula.
Speaking of the staff I'm working with Steven Tucker [Tuck] one of their trainers whose training background includes football leagues among other venues. His knowledge of fitness, personal coaching and exercise equipment for all ages is extensive. Plus he's fun to work with.
I love this place, and, to top it off my health insurance is covering part of the membership!

He demonstrates and explains everything so thoroughly, tailoring a program specific to goals and ability. His positive energy encourages me to push a little harder and stay on track.

This is the only gym I’ve seen that’s ok with it being hot a d filthy at 80 to 82 degrees. That’s too hot to stay long as would like. The temps are advertised on a thermometer-clock. Only gym I’ve ever been without one single fan as well. That’s cheap for a gym that’s so expensive. The space is small making it all too easy to bump into machines with shins etc. Sometimes you’re stepping over machines to make your way to another machine as it’s not well thought out with customer traffic. It’s the only gym in Pahoa for now. There’s a bunch of other cons penny pinching is obvious and not well received/appreciated. Pros are if you’re crafty and flexible with workouts it does work. Quality machines just not quantity so you got to be patient and flexible there for sure. If a class is going on you have no open area to stretch. They think it’s clean but it’s so hot you’re sweaty and ultimately it’s not clean as I see it. Recommendations have not gone over well by mgmnt it is appalling.

This is the first gym that I have ever felt welcome and comfortable in.They have clean and safe facilities, special classes for Kupuna, but the main reason is a one of their personal trainers, Mr. Tucker, aka, "Tuck".
I am not your average member in most gyms, but at Fitness Forever the are other overweight, handicapped people in their 70's and many of us have been guided to self confidence by Tuck.
Tuck is knowledgeable, compassionate, and extremely respectful . He doesn't talk down when he share points on nutrition or the way an exercise affects the body.He is always positive and encouraging, but he is also sensitive to each person's unique limits.
He is one of the few senior trainers I have met. Fitness
Forever is fortunate to have a trainer who can even make me believe that I can be forever fit or at least improve on what I have.

Checked in this morning (11/27) for first time after installation of new equipment. The place has a whole new vibe! The new machines fill in what I felt were some gaps from my old mainland gym, both upper and lower body, and they are SMOOTH! All my old favorites are still there, a plus. And the yoga/classroom/freestyle room is now super organized and inviting. I left pumped and looking forward to my coming workouts!

The gym is not very big, but it has machines for all the muscle groups. They also have plenty for cardio workouts. The exercise room is good for stretching. They have a variety of classes. What I love the most are the two saunas. It has a dry sauna that is kept very clean. And a steam sauna that is also very clean. The bathrooms are private and clean. Our health insurance helps with membership fees. The staff is freindly and all around it's a positive addition to our household.

Yes, it is on the more expensive side for memberships but in my opinion it's the nicest and newest gym on this whole side of the island. Plus all classes are included in the membership- that alone makes it worth it!! Not to mention unlimited Sauna and Steam room use 🙏🏽✨✨

It has been a long time since I have worked out, but trying to get back into a more healthy life style after Covid.

Not happy, I have my own squat rack with weights that I normally use 5 days a week, but I want some variation, so I signed up for a month at hold onto your hats, $150. Which is crazy high. I normally would spend 30-40 a month at powerhouse on Oahu. Went there for years at all sorts of crazy times, 2:00 am (back when they were 24/7), 4:00am after that. Never once were they closed. Here I sit on 7/2/23 at 6:15am with the facility still closed. I guess this is why i only signed up for a month. You better be paying your employees at least $25 per hr for the prices you charge.

More patrons than floorspace. Employees are like babysitters, running around telling you no. It's your privilege to be there so shut up and fall in line. Cost too much for way too little. They say they want to be there for the kids... but only the wealthy ones. They took my daughters money 3 times in a 2 day period. Well over $300 dollars tied up because they didn't know how. Also, one chemical srpay on everything all the time. Is not good for you. To comply, one must spay sanitizer. They also insisted on Masks . What kind of gym takes away your breath. Aloha

Older equipment for the price. Nasty worker (at times). Militant energy. Too much money too crowded. It’s nice when it’s more quiet and the workers are kind. (Most workers are kind, just some carry militant gross energies)

They enforce silly rules that infringe on the well being of the whole for the sake of a few. Only reason I stay is there is no competitor. It’s this or nothing.

As soon as a competitor comes around they will take over.

That being said, I appreciate that there is a gym at all and I appreciate the saunas. Even though militant rules are held on saunas, like keeping the light on at all times and disturbing my meditations.

I'm currently doing personal training with Tuck. Even though I have been going to the gym for several years now, I thought it was time for a refresher to make sure my form is still correct and also learn new things. Tuck was the perfect personal fitness trainer to learn with. Not only did he teach me a whole bunch of things I would have never tried with free weights, a balance ball and body blades, he also has a great aura, energy, encouraging personality and is very respectful. As a woman this is very important to me, and he always asks to make sure before touching me to fix my form, which makes me feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Tuck!

As for the gym itself, it's always clean and the staff is friendly. Most members (like 90% of them) wipe down with the provided spray bottles and towels before and after using equipment. Early morning (before 9am) and afternoon (after 3pm) can be very busy like most gyms, but they pretty much have everything you need for your workout considering its size. Membership is a bit pricey, but I have mine at a discount with Active&Fit through USAA.

If you want to get in shape and make it a lasting change, I highly recommend Steven ‘Tuck’ Tucker at the Pahoa location. There is no one in my 30+ years experience in the fitness industry who has the knowledge, wisdom and skill to lead you to a healthy and fit mind/body/spirit. He recognizes and corrects errors in form, preventing injury and setting you up for long term success. As you get stronger, his workouts get progressively more challenging and fun. He is your biggest cheerleader and strongest ally. He’ll bring out your best. Results are obvious and you’ll notice small changes turn into big differences over time. Tuck is amazing!

Nice equipment. Wish they had better ac and fans going...as with the mask policy harder to get in the zone working out in a hot gym.

Edit- I'm lowering the stars. They have now changed policy where they don't even check out towels anymore. And contrary to the "it's set to 72" ac...shouldn't make that claim when we can all see the controls are clearly set to 75 and 77.
