Dynamix Health and Fitness

My husband and I started with Gill in 2021, we were looking to start becoming healthier since we knew if things didn't change our health would start to decline. We went in with no expectations, not realizing how much we would learn and how our lifestyle would change for the better. Gill, Tina and Rachelle have been the best coaches ever, they not only teach how to exercise but most importantly how to do the exercises correctly watching our posture and correcting us when needed. They are knowledgeable in what they teach and they keep the classes fun. They go through our diets and teaches us about macros and keeps us accountable. Who would've known that our coaches and gym group would become our gym family. When we started our journey my husband was on high blood pressure and cholesterol meds. After a year he was able to get off all of his meds and has not gone back. We cannot thank Gill, Tina and Rachelle enough for giving us a healthier lifestyle. We also have to thank our gym buddies who keeps us motivated and makes our workouts enjoyable.

If you are looking to loose weight and build muscle this is the place to come. Gil, Shavonne, and Tina all helped me to feel confident, eat right and have fun with specific workouts designed for me. They were always encouraging me when I needed it most or motivated me when I felt I could not do something! They created a welcoming environment from the start. I would recommend to anyone!

Been on a mission to get to my goal weight and tone up. I personally like one on one training or small group sessions. I like instructor led workouts. I found out about Gilbert from my friends who's been going for over a few months now. I first love how it's not so crowded when I go to the 8AM classes. The gym is always cleaned and there's always lots of opened machines if needed. Gilbert is an excellent trainer, he definitely kicks my butt and holds me accountable with my workouts and nutrition. I definitely recommend him and Kakaako Fitness Center for all my townies or people who work nearby.

Been working out with Gil for a year now, I'd gotta say he's the best fitness trainer I've ever had, every session is always packed with intensity & a great workout session, he brings soo much hope and positivity to every session I go. A little personal of me but I'm kind of struggling with an eating disorder and eating very few calories but he never EVER judged my eating habits and I've had another fitness trainer make me eat way too much and then I've gained weight in the form of fat, but Gil he doesn't just add a bunch of calories right back, because I know my body is not ready for that, but I should be adding more calories slowly, Gil said he never had a client that's dealing with like eating too little but tbh he knows his stuff for sure, I'm in good hands because of Gil, cheers to many more fitness sessions, let's get my metabolism back in full swing! THANK YOU, GIL!

It's been a few years since I first started with Gilbert at Dynamix Health and Fitness, and life got busy and I had to take a little break. But I've recently started up with him again, in his small group classes and it's been great! I absolutely LOVE the small group classes! Small group classes are topped off at 8 people max, so in any given class, I am still getting a personalized workout with lots of correction and "motivation" from Gilbert ;). The classes are different each time so it never gets boring and we are always working different parts of our body. The small classes also create a sense of community and accountability and everyone is so nice. Gilbert also runs nutrition challenges to go hand in hand with our workouts, or as Gilbert likes to call it, "calorie output". Since restarting with Gilbert, I've lost 9 pounds, and still going. Most importantly, the weight is STAYING OFF and I feel much stronger than before. Like I mentioned in my first review, Gilbert is the best! He's always so positive, he motivates you in an encouraging way and truly believes in you- he's like everyone's personal cheerleader! He also offers one on sessions for those interested in more personal training. It's good to start with the one on ones and transition to classes, if your schedule allows. If you are interested, you can schedule a free consultation with Gilbert and see for yourself! Just do it :).

What started as a 3 month plan to shed a few pounds for a wedding turned into 6 months of personal development with Gilbert! His infectious and positive energy kept me motivated throughout the entire process (especially during 5am workouts!) and his flexibility allowed me to stay on track even with my hectic work schedule during the ever changing pandemic. If you're willing to put in the work and keep a positive mindset, Gilbert will pave the way for success! I promise you will see results not only in your physical appearance but improvements in your day to day life with nutrition and mental strength!

This review is for Gilbert. I want to write it, but selfishly I don't want to. The more people who read this might want to book my time slot, then I'll have to share him. My husband began training with Gil 4 months ago. Because of the training, he is now the lightest and healthiest he's been in 25 years (15lb loss). My husband then gifted me sessions with Gil. I have dropped one dress size, and my friends comment on how much weight I've lost (7lb loss). We just wanted to lose those stubborn 10-15lbs, we could never seem to shake. Gilbert knows his stuff. He is knowledgeable and practices what he preaches. He leads by example i.e., his meals and workouts. He is an all-around good guy, very likable and pleasant. He is a great hype man when you doubt yourself, or after you've accomplished a goal. Gilbert trains and motivates others in a positive way. No yelling, scolding or guilt trips. He is easy going with a big smile. I've never seen him have an off day. He will also work on your nutrition and posture. Gilbert will push you and take you to the next level. I look forward to my body and muscles hurting the day after. It feels good to sneeze and feel your abs in pain. Then and only then, do you know you've done a good job. We are very grateful and fortunate to have found Gil.

Gilbert is pretty awesome!!! He provided me with the knowledge and constant motivation Ineeded to achieve my goals I lost 14lbs and 4% body fat. I couldn't have done that without him.

What can I say, I've been training with Gilbert 3 times a week for about 4 months and what an awesome trainer he is! I wish I went to him sooner. I lost 15 lbs and managed to get off my cholesterol and hypertensive meds due to his nutritional guidance and extensive workouts. I really learned alot about eating the right foods especially getting enough protein in your daily diet. You will always get a good workout, strenuous but very fulfilling. He also has such a good sense of humor so he actually makes your workouts fun and enjoyable. He really truly cares about all his clients and pushes you to help reach your fitness goals. I highly recommend him to be your trainer. You will not be disappointed.

Gilbert is not only a phenomenal trainer, but an amazing human being. If you are looking to achieve results, gain an understanding of nutrition you can maintain for life, and a little sunshine in your day, you have found the right place. The fitness orientation alone is worth it in itself & you will walk away with a whole toolbox for reaching your goals.I had originally come to Dynamix looking for a quick jumpstart to get me back into my fitness routine. I am still here 1.5 years later, still having fun & still seeing results. My entire life I had always been an athlete and thought I had a decent understanding of exercise and nutrition, but a few years in college of unhealthy eating and partying left me with around 15-20 extra pounds to lose. In quiet desperation I tried everything - keto, veganism, CrossFit, but nothing seemed to stick long term. I was depressed & starting to panic, and realized for the first time I needed a little help.I found Gilbert on Yelp and the series of 5 star reviews led me to come in and see what the hype was about. Let's just say the rumors are true and Dynamix is definitely lightning in a bottle. Gilbert is knowledgeable and practices what he preaches. He will teach you the secret sauce to fitness - how to eat for your goals, maintain your results and make enough room to eat for pleasure (yes, it is possible!) He is positive, warm and non judgmental. He will push you and challenge you, but never make you feel discouraged or defeated. Gilbert quickly became one of my favorite people on island and I LOVE training with him. It truly feels like hanging out with a friend. But a fitness guru friend who will push you and cheer you on. His energy is infectious and you will find yourself having a lot of fun working out. What's more is he will hold you you to your nutrition goals, but never in a way that is overly judgmental. If you slip up, the sky is not falling - just course correct and get back on track.The small group classes are fantastic and you will find people from all walks of life, ages and fitness levels. There is only about 8 people max, so you get incredible value and a lot of undivided attention, correction, encouragement and modifications when needed. Tina and Rochelle, the new additions to his team, do a great job leading classes as well and will encourage and challenge you in equal measures.If you are reading this and feeling down or discouraged in your fitness journey, please know that you can absolutely still get to where you want to be, no matter where you are starting from. And know that in Gilbert and the DHAF team, you will find guidance, joy and a cheerleader behind you every step of the way. Gilbert - you have truly changed my life. I am better for l simply knowing you at all. Thank you for everything!
