Coach Kimo was amazing! From the start, his communication and response time were top-notch. As someone with no prior experience, I really appreciated how he took the time to clearly explain everything, breaking it down in a way that made sense and helped ease my nerves.

I'm about two months in and I love it. All of the instructors and others that frequent this box are some of the coolest, helpful and down-to-earth people around.
I've always been healthy but just wanted to commit to a program where I could reach the pinnacle of my fitness and improve other areas of my life like surfing. I've...
