CROSSFIT KAWAIHAE
Our Founders
CrossFit Kawaihae was established in 2013 by Tammie & Arnold Akau of Kawaihae. Founded on the motto, "get fit, stay fit", the Akau 'ohana led CrossFit Kawaihae for over a decade with dedication and integrity, changing the lives of many in our community.
Retiring from gym ownership in 2024, Tammie & Arnold along with their beautiful children, continue to train at CrossFit Kawaihae alongside members that they've guided for years. The Akau 'Ohana have an ever-lasting legacy in CFK's history and will forever be regarded as the founders of our community.
