Working out in Paradise

So you're coming on vacation and you want to work out.... what are your options?

Well, there are the obvious, swimming in the ocean and walking/jogging are year-round activities, and FREE.

All our condos have pools on site, but if you enjoy swimming laps, check out the Kihei Aquatic Center (see previous blog entry). It's free and it's a great pool.

In Kihei we have one gym - Valley Isle Fitness - located on Lipoa, just up from South Kihei Road. It's an older gym, but the morning girl is really friendly and they do offer classes. Their drop-in rate is $20/day or $50/week for visitors, and there are monthly options also. We used to have Power House Gym just around the corner, but they currently closed for bankruptcy. There is a smaller personal training gym that also offers classes in Wailea, REPS Fitness. Most of the hotels have their own gyms, but to my knowledge they don't have drop-in rates for non-guests.

You can also rent a bike for your holiday, there are many great bike trails to explore. I have never done this myself, but go on www.yelp.com and check the reviews.

Kihei also has its own roller rink - yes, that's right - outdoor ocean-front roller skating at Kalama Park. It is open to the public Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings 6-8pm I believe (the downside is that you don't have a view in the dark). Rentals are available for $5.
