Powerhouse Gym Aiea

Been a member for about 2 years now. I love it here, not as crowded as other gyms and it’s less expensive. They also have a women’s section!

I don’t use the actual gym much, but come here 5 – 6 days a week for the MMA training. This gym is much less crowded than 24s and I see far less «social» gym goers standing around talking story on a machine. Great equipment and staff, only negative is the parking lot is pretty tight for a full-​size truck but that’s not on Powerhouse.

Love it here. The staff is always smiling, supportive, and knowledgable. Other members welcomed me back with plenty aloha. Because of my work schedule, this location and 24 hour schedule fits my life perfectly. Look forward to making this year the year to get back in to shape with the help of everybody here! Mahalo!

You get what you pay for over here… lots of the equipment is broken all the time, and the showers don’t always have hot water. Depending on what time you come, it can be nice and empty or crazy busy. I don’t see why people complain about too many body builders walking around, I mean it’s a gym… what do you expect? Overall this gym is good for people who are serious about training.

I used to go to 24 hour fitness… I put a large amount up front for access to all clubs. Then they closed the Aiea location and opened up a Pearl City location. When I tried to go to the new location however they said that I had to pay $ 20 more per month! The reason they gave was that it was a super club. Forget it! What if they open up a super duper club?! Guaranteed more $$$! Powerhouse gym is clean, they have great equipment and EXCELLENT service. I highly recommend everyone to join and work out their traffic frustrations!

This gym has some of the best equipment on island. It’s clean and is adequately staffed. The floor space is utilized fairly well. There is a women’s only area, which I have mixed feelings about, but it is a nice option to have especially when you have the space. The gym has a decent flow to it so that you don’t find yourself wandering aimlessly about the floor to find the next piece of equipment. I have very few gripes about this gym and they are very nitpicky. I will go ahead and list them, in the hopes that the powerhouse staff will consider these things and continue to improve upon an already great space.
1) in order to get your children to the daycare center you have to literally walk through the cardio equipment. This is a minor safety concern but also when I’m about to blast away some cardio, I do not want to sit in a glob of penut butter and jelly finger prints. Rearranging the equipment in a manner to make the daycare more accessible would greatly improve the efficiency of that space.
2) the entrance: when you walk into this gym you are surrounded by different desks. Desks that are there for seemingly no rhyme or reason. This whole space needs to be reevaluated and constructed. Fyi you check in to the left.
3) the women’s only area is great in theory, women don’t like to be harrassed by men when they workout. Here’s the problem with the space at powerhouse. It’s down at a lower level which makes it that much easier for almost the entire gym floor of Looney toons men to gawk at and whistle at the 3 girls I’ve ever seen down there, making it an uncomfortable and nonprivate experience for any lady that dares to brave this space. The area needs to be enforced, I’ve seen more men use this space than ladies. This space is also huge and is not properly utilized this could be setup in a more remote corner of the gym to create better flow and overall better use of space.
4) be more proactive on social media, especially when you are open ²⁴⁄₇ but are closed for a Holliday, nothing worse than a bunch of upset gym rats tweaking on pre workout pounding frantically on a locked door.

LOVE this gym! It’s so clean! So hard to find a gym that is clean and doesn’t have that funky smell! Lol :) I love that they have a «women’s only» area! The rates are so reasonable and affordable for a gym this size. They don’t have a jacuzzi or swimming pool, but to be honest I would never use those facilities, like at a 24 hour fitness, because they’re so filthy and gross! And now they’re open 24 hours a day as well. It’s a great gym to get in shape

Best place to train on the island with great customer service and exceptional hours!

Love this gym. The people are friendly. Management is on top of fixing issues. Also they have some incredible trainers

I loved the service! I’ve been a part of many gyms, and by far my favorite group of people work at Powerhouse; I miss Dan and Jedd the most but the whole team was always supportive and helpful. They cared, they knew their customers and they weren’t fake. If I hadn’t moved away from the islands I’d be there right now. Thank you Powerhouse!
Lots of cardio machines with good view of TVs
Aerobics room for abs or calisthenics (as long as there’s no class) plus it has tons of TRX ropes
Weights galore
Machines galore
Specific area for women (smaller bars and equipment if you’re petite)
Tons of classes
Cheap daycare (it was $ 2 an hour when I was a member)
Honestly the best staff you’ll ever meet and work with

Former meme of 24 hr fitness. I am very pleased with power house gym since my son became a member in February. The gym is clean, employees are very helpful and the trainers on hand are first class. My son is on the MMA side training and I have never been more impressed than I am with them.

There is some shady business going on at this gym. Trainers, specifically Dennis Ching, have over-​charged members without repercussions. Management has made it clear that they are aware of the fraud going on within their gym, yet refuses to take action. Without getting too far into specifics, I caution those contemplating starting a membership with Powerhouse Gym Aiea. It’s a nice, small gym with reasonable monthly fees. however, after being a member for 2 years I had to end my membership.
Not worth the risk.

Nope. Not for me. I was going here for about 6 months. Maybe longer. I realized you should go in the wee hours of the morning /​night so you don’t pass out from how hot it is in there. I was told they keep it at 75. Great. Because I almost passed out twice. I told the front desk workers each time. They just looked at me like I was stupid.
It’s nice they TRY and have a women’s only area. But men still use it.
I was also a little intimidated by all the body builders walking around. I love builders don’t get me wrong. But when everyone is but you, you feel out of place.
I’ve found a much better gym home than here.

Trying to cancel my membership for weeks now. No one every gets it done.
The gym was… OK. As a man it was alright but crowded and every dude looked like he was about to fight you.
As a woman I would be terrified. They have a lower level thats like a greek arena where the spectators are the roided dudes and the whole section is «pink.» I rarely saw women at this gym and I’m not surprised.
STILL WAITING ON MY MEMBERSHIP TO BE CANCELED POWERHOUSE!

I’ve tried out 24 hour & UFC but I must say Powerhouse is the gym for me. I’m self conscious working out & don’t like an overly crowded gym so PH is great. Especially, how they have an area just for women. Certain hours of the day PH does get packed so be aware.
I will say, some of the people that work out there are pretty intimidating & I sometimes get bad vibes from the women but I try to pay no mind. Workout & leave.
There isn’t many equipment to use like 24s but enough for you to do what you need.

I’m a current PH member I use to love my gym not so much lately. New policies came into play that I find very peculiar. No guest after 9pm ~ isn’t this a ²⁴⁄₇ gym? My co-​worker & I don’t get off work till 11pm. Anyways my co-​worker & I tried again during the day ~ this time I was given a hardest time to bring a guest for a 1 day pass they basically said they can’t let them in for free. PH charged me $ 10 to bring a guest in for 1 day! That’s more than a third of my monthly membership.
PH will not look any member up by their last name if they do not have their access card. A $ 5 access card replace fee is required.
A huge sign in the front staying all guest must fill out a form. My co-​worker didn’t fill out any form. But hey they did take our $ 10!
Overall my satisfaction with PH has gone dramatically down. I am only a member because the location is convenient.

to the customer service guy that answers phones for a living… next time someone calls to double check the start day of their membership, it would be greatly appreciated if you don’t laugh and try to judge people over the phone for the amount of time it’s been the last time they checked in.
overall I always viewed the facility pretty highly. when I initially joined, a friend of mine used to work there and talked highly of the place. it really is a good environment, considering I am not a meat head or a gym rat.
however, this experience left a sour taste in my mouth. good thing I prepaid my membership for a year so I won’t have problems stopping the month to month kind of deal.
the manager of the gym is a nice guy though! he always comes in to eat where I work. maybe the guys working for him should take more after him and learn to not be judgemental and learn phone etiquette.

I’m a former UFC Member (Honolulu) and even before that a 24 hour fitness member and in comparison hands down I choose Powerhouse any day of the week. I went in for a two week trial and signed up before the two weeks was over with Rachelle who is awesome to say the least. I didn’t feel uncomfortable or uneducated (although I am not the most educated). I wasn’t forced with a trainer or put down because I didn’t want a trainer and I didn’t constantly have the staff looking at me crazy. Everyone just minds their business and they are respectful.
People are there to work out. Not to try to hit on people working out (sorry 24 hour fitness). Over all I like it better. Every time I have left and came back to Hawaii I have tried a new gym. Powerhouse is my fav.
I thoroughly read what I signed so no «fees» Suprised me and the previous Unilocal reviews helped me prepare for questions.
I’d recommend this gym any day of the week.

What can I say about power house? Well they have all the best equipment and the facility is always clean. Don’t let the outdated exterior fool you this is a top of the line gym! They offer great classes, the Brazilian butt class is my fave! Now that they are 24 hrs you can go when the parking lot isn’t packed.
The staff is always helpful and nice when I check in. Shawna is my favorite ;)
All in all… I’d definitely recommend people to join powerhouse. Especially if you don’t want the ridiculous prices of 24hrs. :D

Went here tonight for the first time using the one week guest pass. I’m a member of 24’s but I’m considering switching to Powerhouse. Yes it is smaller than 24’s, but so much cleaner and doesn’t smell like ass when you open the doors and when you working out. The members here actually take care of the gym and the equipment, and respect others within. You won’t see nasty dirty towels laying around everywhere, and wrapped around a toilet like 24’s.
Another thing is people here actually come to lift and workout, not hog machines, work areas, and other exercise equipment, and talk story like its social hour. Members here are there to just do them, and not take selfies in the mirror like 24’s.
Overall, the gym has what it needs to get the job done and looks like I will be signing up here, despite the negative reviews on billing problems. Probably gotta ask plenty questions while signing up, so I can have a clear understanding of how the billing works here. I went on a Monday night at 9pm and it wasn’t even crowded like 24’s. The drive may be longer but for personal preference I’d say go to Powerhouse.
