Find out more about our story, our mission, and how our coaches will help you reach your goals. Parado Power is run by husband and wife team Blake and Keri, and the family feeling extends to you, too. Everyone who trains here is part of something special. We offer a safe, welcoming environment and a personal service.
Personal Training is a great way to discover what works for your body, work on your technique, or just get results faster. Our sessions are run a little differently - you'll be working out with one to three other members, but you'll each have a custom program specific to your goals. It's the best of both worlds - individualized coaching, plus the motivation of a small group.
Working out in a group is always motivating and energizing. Our Group Classes are not like anything you'll find in a regular gym. They blend elements from strength and conditioning, athletic training, and functional movements. The result is an effective 50-minute class which you'll look forward to every time!
Parado Power is a private gym in Honolulu that offers personal training, group classes, and massage therapy. As for how we got the name, Parado is actually my last name you wouldn't believe how many times I get asked What is a Parado? We chose Power because it represents how empowering exercise can be for your physical and mental health!

PARADO POWER is a fabulous gym. I was doing online training for a while. When I felt comfortable to come back in person, the protocol to enter was awesome. Great to be back at Parado Power!
I have been attending classes for a while and just love it! Classes are organized, timely and efficient. They have a lot kettle bells and free weights. Blake incorporates strength and cardio and the classes are never the same. You will not be disappointed so try a class!
Jensen has been a great addition to the Parado Ohana!

I heard about this gym from a friend who is also a member. So far, it's been an excellent experience. It checks a lot of boxes for me (walking distance from home/work, near other places I visit/eat) and I always feel better leaving than I did arriving. Everyone there is super friendly. Also, it's a very clean gym.

It's been almost 4 years since I wrote the review on Parado Power, and it's time to update it.
I still workout with Blake at Parado Power 3 times a week. During the worst phase of the pandemic, Blake and Keri worked hard to make many changes to the gym and to its operation according to the state guidelines so that we, the clients, are able to keep training safely. Zoom sessions, recorded instructions, outdoor sessions, etc. Now we are back at the gym for in-person personal training and classes at the reduced capacity.

This is a really good gym with friendly staff and members. I like how they plan the workout activities so that you're just exhausted enough to feel like you got a serious workout, but not so much that you can't move afterwards. Also, Imanas Tei is a stone's throw away (bonus)!

Great atmosphere! Cleaning and sanitizing protocols are at the forefront and a fun and motivating environment. Every class has a different workout that will challenge you.

Parado Power is a GREAT GYM!
Atmosphere:
Spacious with lots of windows and fans to help with circulation. I feel that it is a friendly and non-judgmental gym with fellow gym goers being respectful, especially wearing masks properly throughout workouts. Blake, Keri, and the rest of the Parado Power staff are really nice and helpful.
Cleanliness:
One of the cleanest gyms I've ever been to. I've been to several private / smaller gyms and they seemed to be dirty and messy. Parado Power is the opposite - clean and neat! At the door, you take your temperature and wipe the bottom of your

I dropped in to several group fitness classes at Parado Power to stay active while on vacation. Blake and his team were very welcoming and patient. They took the time to explain any exercises and equipment that I was unfamiliar with. I would highly recommend if you're looking for classes while staying in the Waikiki area!
Note: There are 2 Biki bike stations located outside of Parado on South King Street, making it a very convenient option for making the short trek from Waikiki.

So Happy to be back with my Trainer Blake who I've been with since 2013 after having a hip replaced in 2018. I love his and Keri's new gym, so clean & breezy and lots of parking right at the front door. This is the place to be if you want to build strength and be in a positive happy environment. I do personal sessions but the other members in the group classes seem really nice too and look like they are always having fun while working hard. Blake always changes things up and makes a great program for me. I feel so much better and stronger in such a short period of time.

I got tired of trying to be my own fitness coach and failing over and over again for years. I finally got the courage to seek a personal trainer. I was timid at first, as most people are, but Blake and everyone at Parado Power have a way of making you feel like you fit right in! Blake is beyond educated, personable, and sometimes a little funny I let him know about my specific body aches and he is able to quickly create a workout around my issues. He also whipped up an in-depth nutrition plan for me when I told him I was ready to get EXTRA serious. After only a month or two of coming here, I can

I was looking for a place to keep up with all-around fitness training while visiting family in Honolulu for two weeks, and the group classes at Parado Power were perfect! Blake was really friendly and helpful to me and my brother, making sure we felt comfortable in the space and guiding us through the workouts. The workouts themselves were great: intense/efficient, varied (we used many different pieces of equipment over the 4 classes we attended), and surprisingly fun! Our fellow group fitness classgoers were also really nice and made us feel very welcomed, you can tell that there's a really

I worked remotely in Hawaii for a month and wanted to get into shape after a year of being mostly indoors. I searched online and glad I found Parado Power and Blake from all the good reviews.
I did Blake's semi private personal training sessions and this was the best decision I've made all year. His clients come from all age ranges and body types and makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome. This is not a bro-y/intimidating atmosphere at all.
Throughout my month, Blake understood where I was at physically and pushed me where I needed to be pushed and also understood my limits.

As the state is starting to open up, I was curious to see how Blake was planning to resume his workout classes while sticking to safe and clean protocols. I was pleased to find out that each person who is taking the class was given a sanitizing spray bottle with a towel/paper towel for cleaning our designated area AND each weight(s) we are using for working out.
On top of that, I was fortunate to take a class with one of his new trainers. Her name is Nicole, and I gotta say that SHE WORKED OUR A**es OFF! She got fresh new workout routines that challenged us and made us hurt (in a good way).

To say that training at Parado Power saved my life--both literally and figuratively--would be an understatement. Due to a series of serendipitous events, working out at the gym lead me discover I had a rare disease necessitating major surgery. I was able to work out before the surgery and got into great shape beforehand. About 12 weeks after my surgery when I got the all clear from my doctor, I started back up at the gym. Blake was so great in tailoring a routine to help me build strength as I recovered and he never pushed me too hard. About 1.5 years after my surgery I'm in the best shape of my

I have been going to the gym with couple of friends (planet fitness and 24 hour fitness) before, but I've never seem to know what to work on or how I should work on them. When I started training with Blake and Keri 2 months ago, I wasn't too sure what to expect and how rigorous the training is. I have never worked this hard before. Blake has definitely made me realize that When I was working out without any guidance, I was not pushing myself to the fullest.
Blake is an amazing trainer that works around what you want to achieve in yourself. I had very little understanding on how to lift heavy weights

Even through this COVID-19 pandemic, Parado Power continues to be the best gym on the island. During the stay at home orders, Blake and Keri provided (and continue to provide) fitness classes through Zoom and also developed an amazing library of follow along workouts to do safely at home. When gyms were able to open up, many safety protocols like temperature checks, strict cleaning procedures, and reduced class sizes were implemented at the gym. Their dedication to their gym and clients is commendable. You gotta be part of this gym community! Blake and Keri will work so hard to help you meet and

Unlike those body balance core yoga types of gyms Blakes classes are safe and clean to workout in. They go above and beyond in keeping your safety in mind. The gym is cleaned throughly, everyone is required upon entering the gym to clean the bottom of their shoes (All cleaning materials are provided by them) also masks are required. During workouts you have your own area and it's spacious, yes he could have more people in the gym but its limited to just 8 people and you will have to make a reservation. The gym have lots of fresh air wind flowing, not no ac recirculating air. After every circuit

The gym is catered to all ages (I mean you have older folks who does lunges better than me) and fitness levels; from folks who just starting to get serious about their health to people who compete in competitions. Blake explains and shows you how to perform each exercise. He rather see you in proper form than hitting a high number of reps.

Blake is AWESOME, and I love working out at Parado Power
I was in Hawaii for work for a month and needed a home-base, so I evaluated several gyms/programs here before choosing to go with Parado.
Blake switches the workouts from day to day, so it's never boring and consistently challenging for different parts of your body. The worksouts are also a great mixture of strength (with weights, kettlebells, and other equipment) and cardio/HIIT. The workouts can be challenging for seasoned people or adjusted depending on your own level. Blake is very good about showing people how to do things and

I admit it...I've cycled through almost every gym and fitness craze to hit Oahu. I was an Orangetheory diehard for a couple years, then spun through F45, and made my way through a few cycling, barre, and CrossFit spots along the way.

From day one, everyone has been welcoming and friendly. I drag myself to 8am weekend workouts even when I've worked till 2am. So, guess I'm sort of addicted...
