Maui Gym Membership Guide for Beginners
New to the gym? Here's what a Maui Powerhouse Gym membership in Kīhei includes, what each term costs, and what actually happens in your first month.
MAUI GYM MEMBERSHIP / BEGINNER GUIDE
Yes — a Maui Powerhouse Gym membership is $170 for 3 months, $300 for 6, or $550 a year (about $45.83/month), with 24/7 staffed access and the saunas included.
Quick note if you searched “Powerhouse Gym”: this is Maui Powerhouse Gym in Kīhei — the independent Maui gym, not one of the mainland Powerhouse franchises that share the name. The hardest part of joining a gym was never the workouts; it’s the moment before you sign, when you don’t know what you’re committing to. So here it is, plainly, before you decide.
01 / WHAT’S INCLUDED
What does a membership include?
A membership isn’t just door access. Every plan comes with 24/7 staffed entry, dry saunas in each locker room, a Kids Club running six days a week, free Wi-Fi, and Studio boutique classes at up to 50% off — a $25 public drop-in is $12 for members. Kids Club hours are set per location — Lahaina’s, for example, runs 8am–noon Monday through Saturday and 4–8pm Monday through Friday, at $5 per child (18 and under) per two-hour block; Kīhei’s specific hours and pricing aren’t posted separately, so check with the front desk.
Combat sports run as a separate add-on: for gym members, a single discipline is $100 a month and the unlimited Combat Pass is $150 a month, covering all three disciplines six nights a week, with showers, lockers and saunas included.
InBody body-composition scans are $50 for a single scan or $150 for a four-pack — about $37.50 a scan, with no expiration — and you don’t need a membership to book one. That’s the standard rate; the free scan mentioned below is a limited-time promo, not the everyday price.
02 / MEMBERSHIP PRICING
How Much Does a Maui Powerhouse Gym Membership Cost? (Rates by Term)
Pricing is simple, and the same inclusions apply to every term — nothing good is locked behind a longer commitment:
| Term | Price | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| 3 months | $170 | ~$56.67 |
| 6 months | $300 | $50.00 |
| 12 monthsBEST VALUE | $550 | ~$45.83 |
Paying for the year up front is the same access at the lowest monthly cost — about $45.83 a month. A month-to-month option is also listed on the gym’s rate comparison at $50 a month plus a $100 annual fee.
Before quoting any of these as a flat rate, check the Current Specials page — it is running a first month for $20 with $160 plus tax due at signup, 10% off the membership for the first year and $50 off the join fee.
03 / YOUR FIRST MONTH
What happens in your first month?
New members can get four one-on-one personal training sessions across four weeks through the Jump Start Program — not a sales tour, but structured guidance on the equipment, your form, and a starting routine, plus gym homework and ongoing support between sessions. It’s the part beginners actually worry about, handled up front.
Jump Start takes a refundable $100 deposit and is open to members who joined within the last 120 days on a six-month term or longer; three-month members can request a waiver.
04 / BEGINNER-FRIENDLY
Is it beginner-friendly?
Yes — and the floor backs it up. Two full weight rooms, the Old School Weightroom and The Cave, mean you’re not fighting experienced lifters for equipment, and the gym is a Hammer Strength Certified Training Facility with over 40 pieces of official Hammer Strength equipment. The discounted Studio classes are a lower-pressure way in than walking onto the weight floor solo. For what it’s worth, the gym holds a 4.9-star average across more than 640 reviews — built over years of members, not a marketing line. Showing up matters most for beginners specifically: regular exercise can lower the risk of heart disease by up to 30 percent, per the World Health Organization

05 / NO FREE TRIALS
Is there a free trial?
One honest thing before you sign: there is no free gym trial at Maui Powerhouse Gym — not for visitors, and not for full-time Maui residents. What’s available instead is a short-term visitor pass, anything from a single day up to 30 days, if you want to try the space first.
Two things that are free once you’re in: the Jump Start training sessions, and the InBody scan currently being offered on the house. Confirmed live on the Current Specials page as of September 24, 2026, with no stated end date — worth a quick re-check on the day this actually publishes.
06 / KĪHEI, MAUI
Where is the gym?
Maui Powerhouse Gym is in Kīhei, on Maui’s south side, inside the Azeka Shopping Center at 1279 S. Kīhei Road, Suite 118, Kīhei, HI 96753 — a center with over 700 free open-air parking stalls.
There is a second, now-open gym at Lahaina Gateway, 325 Keawe Street, Suite A201, Lahaina, HI 96761. Memberships and longer passes cover both locations; single- and two-day passes are good at one.
07 / GOOD TO KNOW
Hours, guests, and getting in
Members get staffed 24/7 access — real staff on the floor every shift, holidays included. The Kīhei location page notes one exception: the gym closes briefly, 01:00–05:00 on Sunday mornings, for cleaning and maintenance.
