UPDATE!! UPDATE!! UPDATE!! UPDATE!! UPDATE!!
"Success requires discipline, commitment, support, self-love, and guidance. I started R Fit 2 1/2 years ago and my only goal was to get stronger and see if I could keep my knees from hurting so much. With the guidance of Reno, the best trainer in the world, and the support of the most wonderful community of R Fit warriors by my side, a year later I was able to walk my favorite hike, walk my favorite beach, and walk up to my front door without pain. To me, that in itself was an amazing testament to my R Fit training. Since I had my kids I have always struggled with my weight, it's been 15 years and I didn't know my body could be anything but what it was. This last year I made a very clear decision that I wanted to lose weight. I put just as much commitment into eating healthy, being at R Fit consistently and doing extra credit after every class. Just as Reno always says, "The work works!" I have lost 40+ pounds and have a whole new sense of myself. Words could never express the gratitude I have for Reno, his support, patience, guidance, and the R Fit community he created to be by my side through the best and most amazing journey of my life! I'm full of pride for myself and my success. Thanks Reno!" -Maria Z. 12/2019 |
"Reno is an amazing trainer. R Fit is an amazing gym! The people that go are amazing! The workouts are amazing! Did I say it was AMAZING?!
When I first started R Fit I hadn't stepped into a gym for almost a decade. I had difficulty doing knee push-ups. Now I can't wait to go to the gym and it has become the best part of my day. Plus push-ups (strict push-ups) have become one of my favorite exercises.
What kept me coming back to R Fit after my first class was that Reno took the time to teach me how to do each movement. He corrected my form when it needed correcting, which was often. I attend the group classes, but honestly it feels like you get more of persona training sessions because of the attention given to each person. Also, the environment that is created at R Fit is very positive. Everyone is encouraging and willing to help you. I have never felt intimidated at R Fit. I liked that there were people from all walks of life; people recovering from injuries, office workers, retirees, and even athletes. The workouts and movements are adaptable to whatever level you are at. If you need a movement modified to regress it or progress it that is possible. This was great for me as I started with no real experience and knowledge of fitness. Through my journey I have learned a lot about myself and my own body. I hadn't realized how disconnected I was from y own body; I couldn't feel what my body was doing and that is why I needed constant form correction. Now I can really feel it and make it move the way I want to. I enjoy all the workout plans here at R Fit: strength workouts, volume/endurance workouts, conditioning workouts, and mobility/functional workouts. Reno really stresses good form and exercises and movements that have low risk of injury but high reward. If you are on the fence about R Fit I would say come to a class and see for yourself!" -Tony A. 11/2019

"R Fit is a great gym with great trainers and good people. This gym has no egos and a very positive atmosphere. Reno, the head trainer, focuses on keeping things positive as well as getting your body fit! If you want to get in better shape and do it with good people, this is the place for you!" -Jeff N 10/2019

"I've been a member at R Fit for 3 1/2 years now and I can say with certainty that joining R Fit was one of the best decisions I've ever made!! R Fit became something I never knew I needed. And now that I have it, I never want to let go!! It has brought me to so many amazing people and a new gained awareness of my body and health and I am forever grateful. Reno and Pohai have created such a wonderful space for us to keep ourselves healthy (mentally and physically)!!" -Janelle O 11/2019

"I've been going to R Fit for awhile now and it really works, the exercises Reno teaches everyone. He focuses on the areas that you body can handle such as your mobility, flexibility, cardio, and strength. He shows and corrects your forms to make sure your doing the exercises right. Reno is an expert on what he does based on experience and knowledge. He makes the workouts fun and challenging for everybody. Everyone is supportive, no egos, just positive vibes at R Fit. Reno is not just a trainer, but a good role model as well and has a great friendship with everybody. He treats everyone like a family. That's what makes R Fit so great and makes people want to come to this gym. Thank you Reno for all your help and motivation you do to make all of us at R Fit the best version we can be. Your an inspiration! God bless you brother." -Mark M 11/2019

"Prior to coming here I used to do CrossFit occasionally. I never realized how that affected my body (esp my knees). Reno is big on self care and knowing our own limits. He thinks long term. I've always been active, but after coming consistently, I have definitely seen a difference in my appearance (#rfitbooty) but most definitely my strength. If I was to go to the gym alone I wouldn't know what exercise to do or I would probably be working the same muscle group all the time. I'm glad that everyday I come there's new workouts/programs for example strength training on different muscle groups, conditioning, recovery, etc. I take the group classes because everyone that goes are very encouraging and funny (mwf 1130 class yeah youuu!) the class size is fairly small which is great because Reno will have the chance to correct your form and what not. The price is definitely worth it if you are looking for total transformation:)" -Natalie T. 12/2019

Diagnosed by lab numbers as being pre-diabetic and pre-hypertension I started with RFIT early 1st quarter 2018 after laying off from any physical exercise for years. My goals were to:
Attending 3 sessions (MWF) a week has enabled me to not only eat without a restricted diet and enjoy no-no foods I gotta have occasionally but also: I’ve trimmed my waist by 2 inches and have lost 10 total pounds of combined muscle gain and fat loss. I had to buy a one size fit all Slide Belt to adjust for the lost of waistline ! For me it’s not about losing weight but losing inches. My vital numbers were in the words of my primary doctor “to die for”. When I first heard that politically incorrect term uttered by my Doctor I thought the numbers were deadly. The Doctor meant the numbers were what people of my age would love to have: - Blood pressure below 120/80 - A1C below 5 - TC/HDL % of less than 2%. - BMI under 25 Unlike before R.Fit.Hawaii, I can now walk without much strain during my far off travels where lots of walking, climbing stairs-steps n hills are the norm due to leg exercises. My lower back doesn’t ache as much due to strengthening and maintaining my core muscles. Everybody is diff - pun intended - as such I go through the group training sessions my physical thresholds will allow. Instead of 10 reps of burpees I might do 8. Instead of 5 cycles of a series of exercises I might do 4. Reno n Pohai run a no frills air conditioned gym with energized music to keep us on pace. Mahalo Plenty R.Fit.Hawaii PS - I just made 70. -MK a.k.a Maverick (Sept. 2018) |

"At 45 years old, my body wasn't recovering from sports as it used to and the calories were sticking to my belly. I knew I needed to do something to get in shape but wasn't motivated enough to join a gym and go on my own. That's where Reno comes in. With scheduled classes, I'm committed to going, and, once there, Reno makes sure I get my money's worth. I'm always exhausted by the end of class and secure in my knowledge that I got a good, safe work out. In addition, the friendships with my fellow classmates keep the session fun and entertaining!" -Corey M.

"Aging (aka body deterioration) is not a fun process and it can be painful for many of us. I have been coming to R Fit for about 2 years. R Fit is my magic pill to feeling young again and being a better version of myself. I come to R Fit to challenge myself physically with workouts that are out of my element. Reno teachers us how to properly exercise and avoid injury and to also maximize the correct muscle groups to help our body stay mobile and strong.
Reno has helped me to get stronger and toner and I no longer deal with insomnia and anxiety. Through his workouts and expertise, I not only have seen my body change, but I feel healthy and learned to appreciate and care for my body through exercise and eating healthier." -Lani L.T. |

"His love for life and care for those around him forms the basis for Reno's life and business. He truly believes in 'Ohana. We saw that from when we first came to R Fit. Reno took the time to start us from the beginning, breaking the bad habits of our previous gym experience. His intelligence and knowledge shines through. As time went on, we saw great results and became great friends with Reno. When my wife became pregnant, Reno took the time to keep us working out safely for as long as possible.
We took a break, a long break, after our son's birth, and Reno has been there encouraging us both physically and mentally. His compassion shows. He'll push you and make you think about what you want in life, what your goals are, and then support you 100 percent of the way. We're rebuilding ourselves and adapting to a new life as parents. Reno has been there supporting, teaching, pushing us and we can't thank him enough for that. It's that kind of person that makes you want to stay to be a better person physically and mentally." -Bryan and Cindy F. |

"I started R Fit a little over 1 year ago. At first I went because I wanted to get stronger, to find more balance in my life away from work, and to strengthen my knees which were causing me pain. I was hoping that R Fit could give me a place to start that journey. Reno has been instrumental in making all of those changes happen for me. He is a kind, mindful, caring coach who listens and works to help each person in his gym achieve their goals. He encourages everyone to be the best they can be not only in the gym, but in our daily lives as well. Now, a year later, my knees hardly bother me and I can walk the Makapu'u Lighthouse trail without knee braces or pain, something I never thought would be possible again. I'm the strongest I have been in years and R Fit serves as my place of refuge to focus on myself, my health, and achieve my goals."
