Hawaiian Island Twisters

My older daughter has been coming here since she was 1 years old. She loves it! Now my younger daughter attends gymnastics here and also loves the sport! They both look forward to coming on the weekends. Pros: -lots of parking outside of the facility-awesome coaches who care and get to know the child. -certified coaches -huge facility with air conditioning -great gymnastics program for all ages (starting at 18 months)Cons:-just like any gym you go to, there is that stinky gym smell... but you get used to it after a while. -sometime i wish there were less classes going on at a time because it seems like a lot of kids walking around all one time. -i wish there was a little more room for parents to sit and watch their child. They have bleachers, but sometimes no room to sit.

Maybe I had more expectations of a parent/tot class but I won't be going back after the $25 trial class. Honestly, they should just open the gym for the parents and kids to play together. The "coach" more policed the kids and didn't necessarily need to be there.

My girls just started here. 2 classes and we're really liking it! The coaches are very friendly & seem to pay attention to each child in class. I do believe that they are on the pricey side (from what I've been told) but if they are getting a one on one coaching experience and enjoying it then I think it's totally worth it! I'll edit my review at another time when they've attended a little longer.

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink..."Here's a long overdue update for Hawaiian Island Twisters! A few years ago I brought my two older children to gymnastics lessons here for a little over a year. After many complaints from both of them about "just not liking gymnastics" and it being "too hard," I acquiesced and pulled them out. They both weren't progressing and I decided that if they weren't enjoying it then I was truly wasting our time driving them there three times a week. My dreams of having flexible gymnasts in the family seemed to have burned to the ground. This is why I have my horse to water quote above.Fast forward a few years and we reluctantly enrolled our youngest daughter into the 3-5 year olds pre-school class. I came with no expectations and thought that this would be a fun way for her to burn off some energy. Boy was I wrong! My little Izzy loves her gymnastics classes and it's become the highlight of her week. She started in the beginners pre-school class (which takes place in the pen near the reception desk),and in three short months has progressed to the Tucks class! Little did we know that her love of gymnastics would transfer over to our home as she handstands, cartwheels and hangs upside down every chance she gets. I'm super happy we've found a sport that's the right fit for her and that I don't feel as though I'm forcing it down her throat like medicine. "As a parent your job isn't trying to force your horse to drink the water. It's finding the right kind of water that your horse actually loves to drink!"PROS/CONS:-Fair pricing and wide range of classes/class times-Many class times are fully booked so you'll have to add yourself to the waitlist-Large facility with ample parking -Gym is located right before insane traffic heading West-Competitive environment for every age level-Food court location and nail salon right next door-Only one make-up a quarter if you miss classes-The pre-school class pen is crazy cold and unfortunately they can't control the temperature-Smells like old socks but it is a gymnastics warehouse after all-Staff is friendly and like anywhere else, some staffers are much better than others-Parents have a bleachers area where they can watch from

My daughter's have been coming here for years... this is not a cheap extracurricular activity. The gym is in the Moanalua Ranch Market, which has lots of free parking and eateries to kill time and squash any hunger pains.There is a much larger area in the back - don't mind the smell... it's a gym. I appreciate the closed-circuit cameras projecting live feed on the wall so I can see what my girls are doing in the very back (trampoline, etc.). They also have "bleacher-type" seating for the parental units and siblings waiting. They run on 4-week periods, and the cost varies depending on how many classes they attend per week and what level they are. I wish they had a better/more flexible "make-up" schedule for missed classes (better than kids coming while they are sick). They offer only one make up class every 12-weeks. With that said, kids get out of any activity, what they put in... and I'm happy to say that my girls are respectful, they listen to their coaches, and try hard... at the end of practice, they are beat...

We were visiting Oahu on vacation and our boys were able to get in on their boys team gym practices. HITS gym was very welcoming and friendly. Our boys loved their coach and the other team boys were very friendly. Thank you HITS for making us feel at home! If you have a hard time finding the gym, walk through the food court, they're in the back.

We love HITS.. my daughter has been coming here since she was 3 and in the toddler class.. she's now 5 and is in hot shots.. the recreational gymnastics classes test every quarter to see if your child is prepared to move to the next level. There is plenty of parking, an AC, a food court (99 ranch) and plenty of sitting room for parents.. there are TVs with split screens to watch your kids practice.. I wish there were a few more angles but I can see her most of the time. The coaches are awesome and make sure they push your child if they are capable of more.. my daughter has grown so much since she's been here.. and loves it so much!

I've been taking my daughter to HITS for the last four year for cheer tumbling classes. We had just moved here, it was a great way for her to meet other kids with similar interests.The coaches to be helpful in developing her tumbling skills and are very dedicated. If there is not a class scheduled after her slot, they often go over.I'd like to recognize Coach Joel in particular. He happened to be in California during USA Cheer Nations and stopped by to see her high school squad compete. The night before finals 1/3 of my daughter's team got sick and hospitalized. After our own coaches spent the night taking the girls to the hospital. Coach Joel assisted and helped them completely redo their routine with the reduced squad. The team placed 3rd and they could not have accomplished this without Coach Joel.

Excellent gym quality and equipment. Safety first. Professional coaching staff. Great facility and convenient location.

I have been going to this gym for over 8 years! This gym has amazing staff/faculty, gymnasts, and coaches! They're super safe about social distancing, as well as sanitizing everything. The one thing is that they treat you like family. That's what matters to me!
