CrossFit Kaneohe

Today was my first class at CrossFit Kane’ohe. I received a warm welcome from everyone from the moment I arrived. Coach Craig was very helpful in introducing me to the class and modifiny workouts to fit my needs and ability. The community here is supportive and motivating.

Class was fun today. Coach Lauren did a great job going over the movements and as well as the progressions for them. Please play more Bad Bunny 🤣

Mima did an excellent job from start to finish. She made minor adjustments to the warm-up to keep class time on track. She kept the class rolling and didn’t get stuck with any one athlete for too long. As we kicked off the workout, she checked in between rounds and made adjustments as needed. I would have liked to see more strategy building and mental coaching during the suck part of the workout.

As usual Steph is a master at coaching and leading her students to be better with each session. She is a strong coach and I feel improvement with each session! Thanks Steph!

Coach Jayson is the real MVP of the 5AM crew! He always shows up with the most chipper attitude — which is exactly what you need when you’re still waking up and about to get crushed by a WOD. His energy is contagious and instantly lifts the vibe in the gym. Jayson does a great job clearly demonstrating every movement, and more importantly, he knows how to push people to level up — whether that’s adding a little more weight, moving faster, or digging a bit deeper — all while keeping a strong emphasis on proper form. He finds that perfect balance between encouragement and accountability, and it makes a huge difference in how we all grow as athletes. Super grateful for his leadership and positivity. Mahalo, Coach Jayson!

Ed is a great coach. His instructions are easy to follow and clear. Even in a big class, he gives people specific, individualized feedback to help them improve. He has great vibe and motivates everyone to challenge themselves.

I always appreciate Craig’s pacing— doesn’t feel like there’s a lot of lag time or too rushed. Everything is explained well and modifications are clearly taught/practiced.

Craig is always paying attention to your form. Gives clear instructions.

Today was my first time meeting Jayson, but he was a great coach. He demonstrated the movements well enough for me to get them even though it was my first time for some of them. He’s also very encouraging and his words helped me push myself when I was getting gassed out. Jayson did an amazing job and I look forward to coming to Kaneohe CrossFit from now on.

Craig is always solid when he coaches. Takes the time to observe and give feedback to improve form. Swolly gains!

Very thorough when explaining each work out. Makes it fun for everyone attending. Always interacting and giving tips to everyone there.

Thanks Jayson for coaching us this morning! You always show up with energy and a willingness to help with our fitness journey. Great job in keeping the class on schedule while still making time for instructional on movements. Always appreciate the pushes during the WODs.

Coach Lauren was great. She taught me well, corrected and adjusted my form and knows her material

Mahalo Jayson you were so very helpful and I appreciate your clear instructions and encouragement! I really enjoyed your class!

Felt comfortable with coach Nick; I appreciate his patience when I asked questions. Thanks coach Nicholas!

What was the highlight of today's workout at CrossFit Kaneohe? The easy and informative instructions! Mahalo Ed!

Had a great class today and Craig gave me a tip that was a game changer for me. Craig is very attentive and has helped me a lot over the last year.

Coach Craig never assumes that all is OK with our bodies. He always asks about injuries or aches and pains. And he always has a scaling option for us. Gives me a reason to never Cherry Pick a WOD. Just show up and get it done scaled or RX. Not too mention he encourages any option selected and still pushes you to do your best! Mahalo Craig! We appreciate you.

Lauren did great! She explained all the movements very well as ensured everyone understood and were able to do each movement.

Really good at explaining the exercises!

Jayson is an awesome coach! Super patient and very motivating! I love his teaching style.

Super awesome 10/10

Great early morning session with Ed. Thanks, coach!

Edward explained all of the moves clearly, quickly, and loud enough for a big class to hear. Made individual adjustments to people’s techniques as needed in real time, without slowing down the flow of class. He pushed everyone in a positive way, encouraged me to go heavier on some exercises because he knew I had the capacity to. Kept the class on time for the duration of the hour.

I really like that coach Mima is back. She is helpful, very attentive, has great energy and banger Latin playlists. She pushed me to keep going hard in the workout when all I wanted to do was vomitar.

Steph is very knowledgeable and understands my specific needs to address old injuries and getting me back on track. Everyone was very welcoming in class and had a lot of fun.

Always enjoy Nick’s classes. He’s an enthusiastic coach, great with technique and demonstrates clearly, and encourages everyone during the WOD. Thank you!

Love Lauren, except for when she makes us do thrusters. Like I know it's her job, but still rude lol

Always motivating, knowledgeable, and pushes me to be my best every session

Great class, Meli was helpful. I was visiting and appreciated her assistance

Bianca was awesome! I don’t see her name as an option to select for a coach, but she was great for my first class. High enthusiasm & energy and the medicine ball bowling warm up at the beginning was a fun way to start

Steph is the greatest coach ever! She fired me from the gym for looking too good, then proceeded to hand me my 🍑 after letting me back in. I love her positivity, humor and grit to push people to their next level. And creating an awesome community around wellness! Love ya Steph!!! 💖

Very helpful and encouraging!

Craig did a great job down my step by step review of the lifts

Great management of a large class with many different levels and focus. Lauren is great at staying calm and clear in her guidance!

Craig is very friendly and he always makes sure everyone understands the workout.

Ed, as always, was great! He keeps things light, but he commands our attention easily, and is always present, knowledgeable, clear and under control. Love his classes.

Craig always looks out for us senior class , helping us to have the right form in lifting and having us do modifications to the work out

I learned a really cool leg stretch in warmup today that helped my sore knees from yesterdays work out

Five stars!

I love when you coach because you seem to know how to push me and what I can handle. Your coaching is a big part of my improvement this past year. Arigato Mahalo Nui 🤙🏽🔥

“Coach Craig has that special talent… making you love the results but hate the workout in the moment 😅 He pushes everyone past their limits, leads by example with his own hard work, and somehow keeps us coming back for more. 💪🔥”

AMAZINGGGGGGG!!!!!! His personality just pops and makes everything so much more fun!

Great class as a newbee. Easy to understand and follow along.

Lauren is an amazing coach!!! Her pointers and confidence are key 👊🏻

Very clear and concise with his instructions. Provided alternate movements to the WOD. K-POP was on point today!!!!

First time stepping into a CrossFit gym, and I can’t say enough great things about the experience. The coaching was on point, the workouts were exactly what I needed, and the community was nothing short of amazing. Mahalo to everyone for the warm welcome!

Coach was watchful and observant to the clients, myself, because I struggled with one exercise. He was very attentive, helpful and encouraging. It was a very enjoyable experience for me. Thank you coach Craig S.

Great introductory class!

Lauren was awesome! She corrected my form, and offered suggestions to work around my limitations :-)

Excellent Job! Very knowledgeable! Bianca did a great job as well!

Craig was amazing during my first crossfit day! His demonstrations and pointers were very helpful.

Always love working with Craig! Very patient and kind and always helps me to push through my mental limitations while at the same time helping me to know it's ok to not push too far!

Steph was awesome at 5am. She had a strong energy that pushed us to get the best out of this mornings workout. She also provided great cues to fix my form to avoid injuries. It was nice to be able to stretch at the end of the workout.

She always helps guide us through the exercises and helps corrects any mistakes we make. And makes sure we’re doing things safely.

Today was a great class, very motivating and upbeat. I felt like our technique was being watched and fixed. We were also motivated to keep pushing ourselves!

Good enthusiasm and motivation.

Brady was awesome. Very helpful and motivational.

Very helpful and attentive to detail to my naive techniques. Jayson provides great motivational help along the way too. I am very thankful for Jayson’s help.

Great tips! Fun coach

Great. Not fake. Provides genuine encouragement and critique. If he doesn’t have something beneficial to say, Craig will just stay quiet. And i appreciate that in a coach.

Inspirational! Good explanation of exercises and demo. Fun, challenging, workout with modifications. Good workout crew. Potential improvements- higher contrast markers- red/orange harder to see at distance; more towels to clean-up after.

Fantastic! Super supportive and helpful to my mother in law. Always a great class

Great workout!

Very clear with instructions. Nick takes the time to give 1:1 tips on improving form. Great class!

Edward is a brilliant coach throughout, from explaining the WOD, and guiding me and the class, and checking in on everyone. The people in class were friendly and helpful too! CrossFit Kaneohe Rocks! X

Catches me when I am taking to long between sets and motivates to keep pushing!

Sean is awesome, love him as a coach. Unfortunately I’ve decided that the structure of class and programming isn’t something that works for me, and I’m going to be trying out other gyms after this week. Class today was programmed 60 semi heavy deadlifts with 4 minutes to warm up, despite there being no strength portion of the workout which should allow for 20+ minutes of warming up. This seems to be most of the programming I’ve seen at CrossFit Kaneohe where there is no strength portion programmed, a lengthy positioning warmup with no weight on the barbell, and then a very short amount of time to actually get prepared for the workout. I think this gym is great for beginner cross-fitters that are just learning how to move/pickup a barbell, but maybe not so much for those ready to put in work and move the entire hour.

Awesome! Good critiques when needed and words of encouragement.

First of all awesome workout community! Very welcoming! I just came in for the Memorial Day MURPH work out. It was very well put together. Never did a CrossFit class before usually just do cross training by myself but what i loved about doing it with a coach I got called out on my technique by coach Steph. im very technical on how I do stuff so I love the critiques! Always room for improvement. Over all great experience and would definitely recommend people and come back

Jayson is an awesome coach and always motivates me to push myself

Today was my first eat

Katy was energetic and did a great job providing the stimulus and goals for the workout, and was encouraging during the WOD. Would definitely come again and recommend CF Kaneohe to friends and family.

Craig was great! Really took the time to show us newbies how everything is done. Great work out!

I did drop in class and hadn’t done a cross fit class in 10years, Craig was great in motivating but also giving me great tips to maximize skill, will definitely be signing up in the near future!

Great Coaching! Went over all the movements with the class. Felt comfortable going into the workout.

Really great at explaining workouts and encouragement throughout the session!

She was great! Very clear, calm and encouraging. For my first day it was a good pace combined with the push needed. The venue is clea, inviting and overall a good atmosphere. Very happy with my first day and looking forward to more. Mahalo

Nick did great! Super welcoming and helpful throughout the whole class. I appreciated the reminders to go lower and come all the way up. I’m still learning and I get sloppy as I get more tired, so those check ups as the workout progresses are gold! Mahalo!

The class was great and the instructor was very engaging. Even though I was new to CrossFit, I was made to feel right at home. Awesome job!!

When we were spread out, at times was hard to hear but other then that was information and overall I enjoyed the coaching. Great job!

Awesome class! Felt super comfortable returning after a year break and Coach Steph helped me adjust my workout to my current skill level.

Great movement examples. Kept the class moving.

Lauren is always great, and takes time to ensure everyone has fun and has success

Showed strong technique in the snatch and provided feedback on improving my form. Encouraged me to be more explosive 🧨 with my movements!

I loved today's class. Craig is a great coach and does an amazing job sharing how each movement should go. Cross Fit Kaneohe is a place for all shapes and sizes. They make it fun. First time in my life I look forward to going to the gym!

Great! Worked on my technique and pushed me through the workout!

Jayson is a great coach! He’s always willing to listen to member’s concerns (injuries) and offer different activities to scale appropriately. Always gives helpful critiques, cheers us on, and welcomed me back after taking a long break. 🤗

She explained well and show what we supposed to and how to do. also, she corrected my posture and encouraged me. I really enjoyed my 1st class as official member and very much like to continue and challenge myself.

Greatest hour my day.

Coach put me to work and had me gassed by the end of the workout🔥

One of my favorite things about Jayson is he praises you & calls you out when you deserve it. His humorous delivery always makes me laugh & want to keep getting better. Great person & great coach!

Coach Lauren is awesome. I appreciate all her help with ensuring that I am executing all the movements correctly. Enjoyed the WOD. I really missed CrossFit & I am happy to Join Crossfit Kaneohe for the month I am in town. Mahalo.

Today we first worked on a one max rep deadlift and Coach Sean does such an excellent job on explaining and breaking down each movement. It helped me with my form and saving my back. We then had a 9 minute AMRAP and Coach Sean’s positive encouragement really helped me get through it. Thanks Coach for a great class!

I had a wonderful class this morning with Katy. She is bright and kind and very encouraging. Her directions were clear and the class flowed well. Can’t wait to work out more with her coaching!

If you’re looking for a place to call home CF Kaneohe is just the place, excellent coaching and programming! The other athletes are welcoming and encouraging as well, really just a fun great vibe! Highly recommended!!

Did awesome! Did not rush the warm up, good coaching through session, and good explanation of the WOD

she explained each workout very well, I was not confused at all during the workout. she was very patient with everyone and helped me work on my form for squatting.

Coach was great. Very friendly and his explanation of everything was good.

Mima is great! She has a good positivity and knowledge, and she's very good at leading large groups. I'm happy to have her as a coach. She's a great asset to CFK.

Steph did a great job at remaining engaging with the class as well as managing her time to help us get stretching done at the end of class. Fun WOD, thanks Steph! Coach of the Year Right There!

The class was excellent and everything was taught well, especially as a beginner I appreciated it.

Awsome class. It was hard but glad I showed up.

Great work as always! Appreciate the way we always do progressive foundational work on everything no matter how many times we've done it.

Awesome! Very knowledgeable and helpful. I'm not sure if this matters, but PushPress shows me as a no-show for some reason.

Lauren did a great job coaching the Jan 8th, 430p class. I was concerned about my elbow pain and she suggested to go lighter on the bar or use a kb. I appreciated that. She is always positive and very approachable. Great job Lauren!

Thorough progressions, warm welcome, good plan, felt like a warm hug

Great job even though I hate burpees

Coach Steph was great! She was able to help me focus on my snatch and jerk. Shoulders over knees, (sassy back) and opening up my shoulders. Still a work In progress, but she made me comfortable with the adjustments. Mahalo Coach Steph!

I thought it was great. I really liked that the warm-up was time limited and moved at a good pace, which allowed for time to do a cooldown and stretch together at the end after the WOD.

Love any day you life heavy! Warmup was really good for warming up the shoulders and legs for the lifts, doing extra squat therapy before lifting to recognize those key points during the lifts and progression into the weight for the workout.

Meli helped me with my form heaps, I really enjoy learning and class when Meli is coaching!

Excellent!

Craig is always incredibly welcoming and brings the energy to the class

Amazing. Fantastic. Always can provide alternate scaling options and emotional support (when im not at 100 percent) throughout the warmup and workout. Much appreciated for her coaching abilities.

Mima is a great coach. Very good at explaining and breaking down movements as well as encouraging participants throughout the workout(s). She is also very personable and kind!

Craig is an outstanding coach! Very knowledgeable and shows attention to all individuals to maintain correct and most effective form. He’s good at scaling options for people dealing with all kinds of physical issues. Classes are always fun!! Keep up the good work, Craig!

Jayson is a great coach! Super attentive to the technique details and knows how to push us past our mental limits!

I appreciate Malia’s recommendations to modify the WOD to help me prevent aggravation of my knee issue. Scaled workout was perfect for me to ease back in after 3mo off.

Great, very engaging & helpful

Awesome!

Top notch coaching. Coach Steph made minor corrections to my form that helped me move better and more efficiently. She really made the class welcoming and was extremely knowledgeable. I’m definitely coming back.

Today was only my second CrossFit workout ever and I had a great experience because Jayson took extra time with me to give me instruction and encouragement. I have a lot to learn and I’m ready for more!

Super fun morning or deadl

Coach hit all points to help make sure we could do thrusters with proper form.

Craig does a good job of making people feel welcome regardless of their skill level and helping them push themselves to be better.

Went awesome

Thank you Robin! You made the experience comfortable and very relaxing. I’ll definitely do this again

It was awesome getting back into class and definitely coming back on Thursday was great to be back.

Craig was encouraging and helped us push ourselves while being respectful of our individual fitness levels. His choice of music was fun and motivating as always, and the pride he takes in his work always shows.

Jayson was quick but thorough for the warm up, making sure we stretched enough before destroying our bodies in the WOD. His music choice today was much better than usual, so give him props to that ;)

Craig is an awesome coach! Appreciate him pushing me during classes and helping me correct my form (I have it drilled in my head now to keep my elbows up!)

Craig gave me great cues to correct my form. Such an awesome good looking coach

Helpful and welcoming

Always fun and motivating. Great music selection

Class was great. Announcements made. White board brief explained and demonstrated. Options of the starting weight and workout weight provided along with box heights. Modification options provided to those who needed them. Additonal pre-WOD stretching given plus class had enough time to complete stretching post-WOD. Coach Ed provided lots of cues for our lift and encouragement during our lifts. Music playlist was fine as well.

Ed is an excellent coach. He is always patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. He has a good balance of pushing his students to get stronger, while also knowing how to help them scale, improve form, and stay safe.

Pushed me kindly to do more weight than I normally do.
