Parado Power

I started coming to Parado Power because I wanted to look as good as I possibly can for my bestie's destination wedding, which was a year ago! I've continued attending group classes because working out has sort of become a habit, and regardless how I feel before class, I always leave the gym with a blank slate. Bad day? Go to the gym. Mentally exhausted? Go to the gym. Deciding whether to send that angry email? Go to the gym. The coaches are super chill and fun, as are the members. There's a program for every body and for every goal. My weight has not changed by much but my clothes are fitting a lot better than they did a year ago and I am stronger. Sometimes the coaches nudge me to take heavier weights but I like to "pace myself" haha! Parado Power is a clean (everyone wipes down their equipment) and bright and well-ventilated gym in a convenient location. Parking is plentiful (for the most part, depending on the time) and free with validation. Towels are provided and the water dispenser was upgraded not too long ago. First class is free; visit the website and sign up for a spot in group class!

Parado Power is a great gym. I've been training here since 2021 and every workout is always a challenge. I'm constantly improving, getting better and stronger every time I complete a workout. I enjoy my workouts here because you never have to wait to use equipment (it's a private gym), the trainers set your equipment for you and tell you exactly what you need to do, and it's an overall friendly and non-judgemental place. I mostly do the personal training sessions but I've also done the group classes. The group classes are amazing. You get a great workout in these classes as well. If your schedule allows you to attend the group classes, I highly recommend them as well. The classes are smaller (12 people max) so you can improve and progress better than other fitness studios that might have too much people (20-30+) so the attention to you is very limited. Parado Power is great for a beginner wanting to start their fitness journey or even someone who is experienced but wants to take the next step and do more challenging workouts. No matter what level of fitness, you will progress like you never thought you could. Don't wait any longer!! Start or continue your fitness journey at Parado Power!

I've been going to this gym for about 8 years now and honestly, the friendship I've made with other members, coaches, Blake and Keri will forever be a part of me. Most days I looked forward to class to get that pump. This coming from a guy that lives in Waialua. Try a class, you won't forget it.

I've been training with Blake since 2014 and moved with him from Raines Fitness to K Fitness to Paradopower. He's the real stuff - I'm 68 going on 30 well maybe it's more like 50 but I'm stronger and fitter than most of my peers and young people. It's worth the investment of time and money - don't buy junk go spend time and money with Blake. Your body and health will thank you.

I've been coming to the group classes for about a year and a half. Randomly decided to try it after reading reviews on yelp and really glad I took a chance. The classes are challenging but the coaches somehow make them fun at the same time. The others in the class are super friendly and were very welcoming to the "new girl.". I would recommend Parado Power.

I love Parado Power! They offer both group classes and personal training. I've been taking their group classes for a while now and love that each class is something different. Blake is an amazing trainer and pushes you when he knows you can do more. He keeps things fun and just when the workouts start to get easy he will make them more challenging. I also really love that he reaches out when I skip a class because it helps me stay accountable and maintain my consistency. The first time I took the class I was a little intimidated because I had never done a group class before but he makes everyone of all skill levels feel comfortable. He's super patient while reexplaining things to me when I'm feeling a little uncoordinated and lost in the class. Parking is easy in Pucks Alley and you can get validated. Highly recommend!

I started personal training at Parado Power in 2023, eager to get back into weightlifting and feeling strong again after a long break due to COVID. Blake, Jensen, and Micah are all incredible trainers who push you to realize you're stronger and more capable than you think you are. Even though there are usually 1-3 other clients training at the same time, they never lose focus on you. They're always there to ensure you're using proper form, providing personalized tips, and answering any questions throughout your workout.I also did a nutrition program with Blake after feeling frustrated that I was working out consistently but not losing the stubborn body fat I was hoping to. Blake guided me through a tailored 3-month plan that paired with my workout routine. In that time, I lost 8lbs and, more importantly, gained a wealth of knowledge about healthy eating and how to sustain the progress long-term.Sadly, I'll be moving later this year, and Parado Power will be a major thing I'll miss. I can't recommend this gym enough. Sign up today - trust me!

I've been coming here for the past couple of months and I must say that this place is the best! I can already see results. I am doing the personal training and the trainers are awesome! They are knowledgeable and friendly and when I am training, the time goes by so quickly. Time flies when you're having fun!

I've lost 10 lbs my first 10 wks! I feel stronger, more agile and flexible and can do some stretches I couldn't even do as a gymnast in high school. My body composition is definitely improving and my clothes fit better.I love everything about this gym. It's a great open space with a massive wall of windows that brings in lots of fresh air and natural light - I prefer outdoor activities so this makes me happy indoors.Blake Parado is a power lifter, and has put together a great program, vibe and business. He, Jensen and Micah are all real trainers. They keep me focused and working productively in a low key, fun way and with humor. We work all the major body areas every work-out, but they keep me and my body guessing by changing up the exercises each time. I am not naturally a work-out person, but they do a great job keeping me motivated. Blake has also coached me on a simple, practical nutrition plan I actually enjoy and that's working.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I've been going for ~6 years now. Quality of coaching and flexibility are why I've stayed so long. I do semi-private personal training but they offer pay-as-you-go group classes all the way up to one-on-one, scheduled personal training+nutrition coaching. No long-term contracts required, which is nice. You can set a recurring schedule or schedule it yourself via app.Having a qualified coach plan my workouts and then ensure I'm doing it effectively is incredibly helpful. I've been able to do way more with 1 hour a week here than I used with 4 hours on my own.Age ranges of clients varies quite a bit, too. I've seen teenagers thru retirees. The coaches have even been able to build workout plans for my grandma, who's in her 90s.Parking also very easy.
