Yay they fixed the AC and now it’s great! The classes and coaches are all amazing and I love the amenities like cryo and red light therapy, sauna. I haven’t taken all the coaches classes but shoutout to Quan &TJ for hiit and Chris for yoga flow.
Thanks for the fantastic feedback! At Waikele UFC GYM we're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the improved AC, classes, and amenities. Quan, TJ, and Chris will be glad to know you appreciate their efforts! 💪🏼 Our coaches look forward to seeing you at the next class!
The machines are brand new! The UFC ring has been removed, and big body-size bags have replaced it. They also added a turf area that is nice to stretch and warm up. The facility is spotless and fresh-feeling. I highly recommend this gym, as everyone has been super friendly and helpful.
I love coming to this gym! The staff and coaches are all great—especially when I get to train with coach Chris. He makes jiu-jitsu fun, easy to understand, and something I actually look forward to. He breaks down techniques really well and adds just the right amount of humor and motivation. My son also trains with him and always has a blast. Super grateful to have found this place—friendly staff, great coach, great energy.
When I first walked into Sensai Christopher Templo’s jiu-jitsu class, I just wanted to lose some weight and maybe be able to tie my shoes without getting winded. Little did I know I was about to get hooked—not just on the cardio, but on the art of gently (and sometimes not-so-gently) choking people out. Chris has this magical ability to make even the most complex moves feel like second nature. His teaching style is patient, clear, and sprinkled with just enough jokes to make you forget you’re sweating buckets and getting folded like a lawn chair. Before I knew it, I wasn’t just there for fitness—I was obsessed with learning the intricacies of jiu-jitsu. Guard passes? Yes please. Rear naked chokes? Sign me up. Sneaky submissions that make your training partner tap before they even realize what’s happening? Thanks to Chris, I’ve fallen in love with the art, the grind, and yes—the strangely satisfying feeling of wrapping someone up like a human burrito and watching them tap with a smile. If you’re thinking about starting jiu-jitsu for fitness, self-defense, or just for fun, Christopher Templo is the real deal.
My kids love the youth classes that they offer such as BJJ and kickboxing. I also enjoy the gym as their guests so we can all get a good workout at the same time. I guess you can say that we get fit as a family. Also the staff is just great and the customers there are also friendly. The plus side to everything is that they offer healthy drinks and food for a good snack after an amazing workout. I have already recommended them to a few friends 🤙🏽
