Reviews

Yelpers give the Honolulu location of Powerhouse Gym Hawaii a 3.5-star average:

• My first impression of this gym: Lots of space in this two story, multi-room gym, which makes it easy to find an uncrowded space to do your thing. Powerhouse has two rooms of cardio machines -- stationary bikes, stair-climbers, elliptical trainers, etc. TV monitors galore, even the ones on selected machines you can plug your own ear plugs into. Many rooms with free weights and weight machines. – Miki L.
• Everyone at the gym is relatively serious but at the same time really chill. You get to know everyone after a while. – Phillip H.
