Personal trainer and client celebrating win at Big Island Strong

Welcome to Big Island Strong

Personal training on Hawaiʻi’s Kona Coast.

Big Island Strong is a private personal training studio in Kealakekua serving adults of all ages and experience levels who want to build real strength with thoughtful coaching and a clear plan.

Our clients range from athletes preparing for their next competition to adults returning to exercise after time away due to injury or illness. Many of our clients are 55+, and we’ve developed a particular depth of experience working with this population — teaching proper lifting technique, adapting around previous injuries, and building programs that respect where your body is today rather than where a generic program assumes it should be.

Our training options are designed around how you prefer to train.

1-on-1 and Semi-Private Training provide individualized programming built around your goals, abilities, and needs.

Partner and Small Group Training follow structured programs designed to build strength and develop proper technique, with coaching and adjustments tailored to the people in each session.

Whether you’re new to lifting, returning after time away, or have been training for years, we’ll meet you where you are and build from there.

Build strength. Move well. Keep doing what you love.
