Fitpro Hawaii

‘ve been training with Bill for over a year now and having worked with multiple personal trainers in the past, I believe I have found «the one.» First, Bill is extremely professional — from the way he schedules appointments to the way he follows up with your workouts. His Fit Pro gym on Kapahulu is private and well maintained and that is big plus compared to working out in a crowded gym. Next, workouts are always fun and varied and he always explains exactly how the exercise works and why they are effective. He is much more knowledgeable on the technical and physiological aspects of working out than other physical trainers I have worked with so there is a real competency and confidence in his approach. I started working out with Bill well before my pregnancy and all throughout and now I can’t wait to get started on getting back in shape with him. Bill is a highly skilled and competent trainer who always puts me at ease. More people need to know about his gem of a service.

Bill is a fabulous trainer. I worked out with Bill for six years and can honestly say that no two workouts are the same. Bill takes the time to really get to know you, your goals, your personal style and motivational needs, and he constructs each workout to get the most out of you and give you the most benefit. Bill has worked with me on a variety of personal performance and training goals, and helped me achieve a high level of fitness. Bill has also helped me with eating healthy and with the mental approach I take to my health and fitness. Bill is continuously learning and has a love of sharing his learning and helping his clients achieve their goals using a wide variety of tools and techniques. If you are in a rut, Bill will get you going!

I met Bill Maeda thirteen years ago. Our first encounter is a pretty amazing story that we both love sharing with people!
I was at home on a Sunday afternoon, lying on the couch, procrastinating while watching TV, deciding whether or not to go to hit the gym that day. All of a sudden, this totally ripped, super cool looking Japanese guy appeared on this Spy Series television show, and I got immediately inspired and decided at that exact moment that I needed to stop procrastinating and get off the couch and go work out.
I left the house and walked to the gym. I took the escalator up and as I got off at the top, I literally bumped into this totally ripped, super cool looking Japanese guy and realized that it was the same guy I had just seen on TV ! We have been friends ever since, and Bill has been my exclusive trainer since then.
What I love about being trained by Bill is that he knows the importance of incorporating NEW things into your workout realm every few months. It has set the bar high for me every year of the thirteen that I have been blessed to call Bill my friend and Trainer. Bill was the first person I recall to ever say the words“kettle-bell” in Hawaii ! I am so grateful to him for always re-​callibrating my whole program and way of thinking every few months since I started training under him. It keeps things from getting stale and routine and well… boring ! The body and brain really only respond and change when we give them new and challenging things to do, and in my opinion, no one teaches those principles while incorporating that theory through fresh and challenging training sessions better than Bil Maeda.
Here we are all these years later, and Bill i s still inspiring me, as he did that day on TV,
to get off that couch and get a great workout in every day !

A girlfriend and I lucked out over two years ago when we came upon Bill as a personal trainer. We are both older and wanted to try out kettlebells. Our goal has been to remain physically healthy and maintain functional movement and muscle strength.
Bill is very knowledgeable about fitness and different exercise equipment (e.g. kettlebells, free weights, rucksacks, jump rope, stretch bands, Tabata/​internal training). He has been a supportive trainer, he has met us at our fitness level and increased the training level as we have improved. He uses self videos to help with at home workouts which are nice and short (especially appreciated since we both work full time).
Bill can appear intimidating to the average person because he is so muscular and fit appearing, but instead he is very nice and friendly.
I have no hesitation about recommending Bill to others (and that has included having my college bound son and a couple of friends train with him). Bill is a terrific trainer !

I was first introduced to Bill Maeda, the man behind FitPro, two years ago by a good friend who had been working out with Bill for several years. My first question to him was, «How can you have worked out the with same trainer for 3 years and not be bored?» My personal history is riddled with workout regimens that have come and gone because, in the end, they just get boring.
Bill has kept things fresh for two years, with the goal of making me «unbreakable» — strong and injury-​free. We started with foundational exercises (push-​ups, pull-​ups, planks, step-​ups, lunges, twisting core exercises, etc.) to make sure that I had a solid base of strength before moving on to more dynamic movements and heavier weights. At every step of the way, Bill focused on teaching strict form for every exercise. I share his belief that maintaining good form, with light or heavy weights, ensures that one gets the most out of every exercise and avoids injury.
In the last two years, Bill has mixed in kettlebells (thruster, long cycle, snatch), traditional power lifting (squat, bench, deadlift), punching & kicking, sandbags, weighted swinging clubs, body weight movements, and a variety of isometric exercises. I participate in a variety of other sports and events (soccer, triathlons, obstacle races, endurance events), and Bill designs my workouts to help me prepare specifically for them.

I have been a competitive fighter in the martial art of Tae Kwon Do for about 16 years. I have always wanted to incorporate a fun but intense weight training routine into my workouts to improve my fitness knowledge, body strength and overall muscle tone. I wanted to find a trainer that could teach me the fundamentals of weight training, proper form and safety so that I could ultimately feel confident enough to work out on my own. Luckily, I heard about Bill Maeda and his gym, FitPro Hawaii through a close friend of mine. After meeting him and seeing his facility, I knew his expertise was exactly what I was looking for. What is special about FitPro is that Bill develops a workout based upon your desired fitness and personal goals. Therefore, your training sessions are customized to target all the areas you may have concerns with and more. It is very different from being in a group setting because you get the personal attention often required when learning a new exercise. I have found that Bill Maeda is not only a great fitness specialist, but he is also extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and healthy life-​long eating habits. Even more importantly, Bill is very easy to talk to, motivating and extremely passionate about his profession. You definitely get the whole package as a FitPro client! I sincerely recommend FitPro to anyone who wants to take their health and fitness to the next level.
