We help adults of all ages and experience levels build real strength safely, and without the guesswork. Our clients range from athletes training for their next event to adults getting back into fitness after time off, injury, or illness. A lot of our clients are 55 and older, and we’ve built real expertise in coaching this age group teaching proper lifting technique, working around old injuries, and building programs that respect where your body actually is, not where a generic plan assumes it should be. Private and semi-private sessions are built entirely around you. Couples and small group training follow a structured program designed for real strength and proper technique, with coaching tailored to the group. Whether you’re new to lifting or you’ve been at it for years, we’ll meet you where you are and build from there. https://www.bigislandstrong.com/client-resources daily 0.75 2026-07-18 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1c3461f7-d127-4f63-a921-d75697a9b423/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1c3461f7-d127-4f63-a921-d75697a9b423/thumbnail Client Resources Big Island Strong personal training instructional videos on strength training, mobility and rehabilitation from a personal trainer specializing in strength training for older adults as well as injury prevention. https://www.bigislandstrong.com/new-page daily 0.75 2026-07-20 https://www.bigislandstrong.com/our-instructors-1 daily 0.75 2026-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6104e2314935a22f98ae5663/89638750-4435-42ab-a5fb-c2d37fbb4794/IMG_4753_Original.jpg Testimonials - What Our Clients Say Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
