Mauna Lani Sports & Fitness Club

"Played in a pickleball Tournament this past Friday. Beautiful and strong ladies from Maui,, Colorado,, Alaska,, California and of course us,, Wahine from the Big Island.. Everyone was very friendly. The young man professional organizing this tournament appeared to be very organized. I think his name is Simon. Overall, I had an awesome day."

"I jumped in on their Pickleball Open play Monday night - it was terrific! Great group of people!"

"Well maintained courts, balls in good condition, and just enough accoutrements to make the $55/hour seem not terrible. Scented cold towels are a nice touch"

"Pickleball and instructor were GREAT! Learning this new activity was a blast. Facilities were clean and well maintained."

"I really want to like this place. It has an outdoor pool which is fantastic. It has an outdoor hot tub which is fantastic. There is a lot of cardio equipment which is fantastic. With respect to free weights, here is my criticism. There are way too many heavy weights that no one ever uses, and there is an insufficient quantity of lower weights for people to use. 5-30 lbs. In addition, there is very little to no safe floor space to do your own free weight routine. The space is designed for you to use a machine or to use a bench but as we know many of us do tandem and hit style free weight workouts these days and you need some floor space to do so. This facility has not adapted to the times and the variety of use needed by its users. I also find the facility extremely old and tired. It needs some TLC and some lipstick. This property is managed by the Auberge, and they charge very steep fees for users and owners who live in Mauna Lani. But the fees are higher than the perceived value because it’s a tired facility. The Auberge did a fantastic job renovating their hotel, but they’ve forgotten about the fitness club. There’s insufficient Pickleball court time for Mauna Lani guests and owners to book time late in the day when it’s cooler and most people want to play, these times seem to be reserved for the Auberge Hotel guests. I think this place needs an upgrade and I think the rates need to be reduced. They have a lot of friendly staff, but the staff look like they’re bored to tears because there isn’t enough for them to do . This facility does not offer guests a day rate they only offer a two week, rate. Which seems very odd to me not everyone comes for two weeks and not everyone who for comes for two weeks is going to work out every day at this facility and spend $500. Have a day rate. Offer a 13 used punchcard that can be used within a calendar year. I think they need to be more creative with their offerings. More diverse pricing is needed. The management of this facility really needs to do some rethinking about the use of their space, the look of their space and what they are charging."
