Upcountry Fitness and Izaak Tyrrell has been a
dream come true. I don’t think I would be where I am at today with my health and career if it wasn't for Upcountry Fitness. The vibe and the people there make you feel right at home. They have been supportive and encouraging since day one and now have become part of my family. Truly blessed.

Pro Surfer

I love Upcountry Fitness! I was never really a gym person, but when I started training there I really noticed the difference in not only my surfing but in my everyday life. I feel a lot stronger physically but also mentally. Everyone that works at the gym are all very helpful and kind, and truly want the best for you; walking in the door you feel like you are showing up to workout with friends. Thank you Upcountry Fitness for getting me in the best shape of my life while having fun!

Upcountry Fitness has been a life-saver. I travel the world competing at the highest level in ski racing and its so important to be at your highest ability to compete against the best. I believe in being a well rounded athlete who can adapt to many different conditions and be able to succeed in pushing yourself to the limit to find out how amazing your body can be! I feel UCF has helped me with that and more. The staff and facility has given me the support to be the best!

Upcountry fitness has help me step my surfing up in every aspect, from tiny waves to the days my stomach is in knots because it is so big. Maui is an active place to live and if you are an active person there is no better place to get into shape and push yourself.

Upcountry Fitness has helped me a lot! It's the ultimate place to maximize your body's strength for whatever you may want to achieve on the beautiful island of Maui, and of course around the world. Jim, my personal trainer, and all the trainers at Upcountry, know exactly what you need to work on, they themselves get out there and enjoy the ocean. We love big barreling waves, and being able to train with great people in a suped-up gym, is the perfect set up to bring your game to the next level.

Upcountry Fitness has been such a great place and awesome experience for me. Working with the trainers there I have come back from major injuries only to feel stronger and better then before. It's now a part of my life that I am stoked about. Thanks to everyone at the gym and all the members for making it the place that it is. I have never felt as good as I do now.

After being a professional athlete in two sports had taken its toll on me, UCF got me on a program that I wish I would have had twenty years ago. Keeping my edge on the water at this age has been possible because of Upcountry Fitness. With a combination of treatments from Deep Relief and a fun creative training program of exercises specific to my needs, the UCF staff has me enjoying my time at the gym. Being in an environment where the staff truly cares about your progress and having the professional trainers and state of the art equipment has made all the difference in my health and fitness.

"Upcountry Fitness has been a part of my life for so long I can’t even remember when I joined. I benefit so much from the workouts and my experience there that I can’t imagine why anyone would train anywhere else. It’s like home… family… where everyone knows your name... kind of like ‘Cheer’s’ for athletes."
