25 years on Oahu. 5.0 stars on Google. Every session is 90 minutes, just the two of us.
I'm Dan Kayser. I train one person at a time in my own studio, ten minutes from downtown. If something hurts, we fix that first. Then we build strength on top of it so it stays fixed. Nobody waits in line for a squat rack here, and nobody gets a workout printed off a template.

The first visit is a free 20-minute Movement Screen. You leave knowing what your body is actually doing, whether we work together or not.
Every session runs the same sequence, because the sequence is what makes it work. We start with myofascial release to reset the tissue that holds your joints in place. Then core integration, which wakes up the deep stabilizers around your spine. Then mobility, so your joints move through their whole range and not just the part they've been stuck in. Then we load it: kettlebells, cables, bodyweight, the seven fundamental movement patterns, with the corrective work your body in particular needs.
Yoga is the yin, kettlebells are the yang. You leave organized, not depleted. If a joint starts to talk mid-set, I put hands on it right there, release it, and we keep going. Nobody grinds through pain here, and nobody skips a body part because it hurts.
Long enough to do the whole sequence properly. I watch every rep. There is no second client in the room and no phone in my hand.
Pain almost never comes from where you feel it. Back pain starts in the hips, knee pain starts in the feet. I find the actual cause before we train around it.
You get a written program for the days you're not with me, and you can text me all week. Most of the change happens on the days you're not here.
Kettlebells, a rack, cables, mats, open floor, trees out every window. Nobody watching, nobody waiting for your equipment.
Whatever brought you here, it starts the same way: the free Movement Screen, so I know what your body is doing before I load it.

I've been training with Dan for about five years now. I originally started to see him to work on lower back pain and a knee injury from old injuries. He cured them. Since then he has helped me work out every physical ailment I've gotten. Before working with him I would have to get massages, acupuncture, and go to the chiropractor regularly. Not anymore - maybe once or twice a year now just to stay in tune. He is the best.
The real deal when it comes to helping you understand how to train and why to train. Helped me manage my back pain and prevent it from coming back. I spent countless hours and dollars at physical therapists and personal trainers with very little results, mostly cookie cutter stuff. Dan taught me how to workout properly and it honestly changed my life.
Started training with me at 76. She's in her 90s now, still swinging a 12 kg kettlebell.
Three of four rotator cuff tendons torn, surgery, then rehab that left him with almost no range or strength. Three to four months of work and he was back in the water, foiling.

I've trained clients one-on-one on Oahu for 25 years. I hold a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science, and the method I teach was built on my own back. A car rear-ended me at a stoplight, and the next morning I couldn't bend over to get milk out of the refrigerator. Physical therapy, chiropractors, everything. An orthopedic surgeon offered me surgery with a 30% success rate. I fixed myself instead, and I've been refining that method on hundreds of clients since, from people in their 90s to professional athletes.
100% of the people who tried this protocol got better.
No. Most people find me because something hurts, but plenty come in healthy and want to stay that way. Everyone starts with the same Movement Screen.
Ninety minutes, one-on-one. Release, core, mobility, then strength. Every time, in that order.
398 Puiwa Rd in Nuuanu, about ten minutes from downtown Honolulu. Private, by appointment only.
Ten weeks is $3,150 for one person or $4,500 for two people training together. The first visit, the Movement Screen, is free.
Yes. My longest-standing client started at 76 and is in her 90s now. A lot of my clients are over 50.
Yes. One coach, one client means every rep is watched. We build from where your body actually is.
Twenty minutes at my studio. I put your body through a series of movement tests, show you exactly where it's compensating, and tell you honestly whether I can help. If I can't, I'll tell you who can. No cost, no pressure, and you leave with answers either way.
