There is no right or wrong time to jump into getting fit. Fitness is never one-size-fits-all, and one’s journey to their best body is a personal one. That is why we have compiled the most comprehensive list of gyms available to you on Maui. It is just one facet of the workout world: CrossFit boxes, yoga, spin, and pilates studios will be covered in the next installment. The gym is a one-stop shop to fitness culture, whether you want to lift weights, step on a cardio machine, take a class, or meet a physical trainer.
It’s never too late to up your fitness game, and here on the Valley Isle we have many options. With year long water sports activities, hiking, and yoga classes to explore, there’s never a lack of ways to get fit. But, sometimes a steady and weekly workout schedule is what we really need to change our lives for the best.
Joining a gym has many benefits. Joining a gym and actually going to the gym has even more benefits! A consistent gym schedule doesn’t just help you lose weight and get toned, it also helps to increase physical and mental strength, and help control daily-life anxiety levels. Becoming a member of a gym is also a great way to meet new people in a healthy and motivating environment.
Learn more about what each gym on Maui has to offer in group classes, personal training services, bodybuilding, and more. We even talked to some of the fitness professionals behind these gyms. We’re pretty lucky to have such a huge variety of locations and each one is special in its own way. Find out which gym has the amenities and services that will help motivate you on your personal fitness journey.

Anytime Fitness- Pukalani
24 Kiopaa Street, Pukalani 96768, 808-633-6463, Anytimefitness.com
The first Anytime Fitness in Hawaii was opened in Pukalani by Sean and Katie Higuchi in 2013. Higuchi grew up on Maui but left for Seattle to get his degree, a BS in Exercise Science. It was a dream of his to be able to move back to Maui and open a community fitness business. His wife Katie teaches pilates at the gym and is also a dance teacher at Maui Academy of Performing Arts. They felt Anytime Fitness was the perfect gym to open because the company’s values aligned with his idea of the aloha spirit.
“We truly believe that fitness is for everyone, but everyone can use some help from a caring coach,” says Sean. “It’s our goal to coach, care, and connect with all of our members. Our membership is a true cross section of our community with aunties and uncles working out next to high school students. Everyone feels welcome. We use fitness as a means to give back to our community by providing a great location for people to workout, supporting local youth activities and schools, and giving to local charities like Women Helping Women Maui, Maui Friends of the Library, Maui Humane Society, and many more.”
“The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in is the comfortable environment. We have friendly members who you probably already know as your neighbors or friends. We pride ourselves in cultivating a respectful environment where all ages and fitness levels share a space. We have caring staff who have been picked for their passion of helping others and not their drive for sales. We have a clean and homey feel to our gym where young and old help each other, and beginners and experts laugh and say hi to each other. We also are one of the most safe and convenient options with full reciprocity to multiple locations and 24/7 access.”
Higuchi says they always emphasize quality over quantity, and extend a generosity of spirit to all of their members. They have lots of membership options including taking some health insurance plans. Anytime Fitness locations are independently owned but members are welcome at any location. Other locations on Maui are in Wailuku and a Lahaina location that will be opening soon.

Intimidation and cost are significant barriers for them, and Planet Fitness is the answer to that. Planet Fitness gyms are affordable with very low membership fees, and no high pressure sales tactics. We are known for our welcoming, comfortable environment we call the Judgement Free Zone.

FuzionFit – Ha‘iku
810 Kokomo Road, Ha‘iku 96708, 808-214-9011 Fuzionfitinc.com
Izaak Tyrrell, Fuzion Fit President, Owner, and Creator says he came up with the group training method that has trademarked his gym about 7 years ago.
“It is a group training method that I came up with for teaching classes in large groups,” says Tyrrell. “That is where the brand came from. The concept was to fuse as many modalities in the fitness industry into one place. Some people were doing TRX, some people were doing spin, some people were doing CrossFit, some were doing yoga, whatever, but we put it all together into one class, one venue. That is where the name Fuzion Fit came from, we are fuzing all of the modalities into one class and one space.”
When the Upcountry Fitness gym closed Tyrell found the perfect opportunity to create Fuzion Fit Headquarters. A year and a half ago he was able to expand and renovate the space to turn it into a full service health club.
“You have to train for the sport of life,” says Tyrell. There is nothing about your workout that should be redundant except for showing up everyday. Having a larger variety of equipment to play with you are going to be able to constantly change your routine and adapt to a new thing. You can be on a constant trail of progression in your fitness.”
“All of our classes are taught by personal trainers. So when you take a class you are getting the personal training concept going on with a group environment. We can teach you really technical exercises, and you can learn how to use all of the equipment, and get one-on-one time with a trainer all in a class. I created these group training classes so basically you get people a personal training experience in a more financially obtainable situation.”
FuzionFit is the only multi-discipline training facility of its kind on Maui. Members have access to a decent selection of cardio and weight training equipment, plus access to a variety of group training classes: power plates, cycling, kettlebells, aerial silks, and more.
