The Process

How Keola
Method works

Every client follows the same proven sequence.  We address what's limiting your body before asking it to perform.  No shortcuts, no guesswork.

Step 01

​

Initial Assessment  

$125 - 45 minutes 

​

We identify weak links, movement limitations, and what your body truly needs before strength training begins. Clarity on where you are and a clear path for what comes next.

 

Step 02

​

LIFE Starter Pack  

$500 - 2 sessions

 

Your $125 assessment is applied here. Two focused sessions to start correcting movement patterns and building strength on a foundation designed to last.

 

Step 03

​

Ongoing Training

CHOOSE YOUR TIER

​

Choose the program that fits your goals and schedule.  Each tier is structured to keep you progressing consistently.  Building on each session rather than starting over.

About

Keola Holt

​FOUNDER  KEOLA METHOD  NEW YORK CITY

 

Originally from Hawaii, movement and physical well-being have always been at the core of my life. Health and fitness aren’t just professions to me, they’re lifelong practices built through curiosity, experience, and real-world application.

 

I hold a B.A. in Kinesiology and Exercise Science and am certified as a CSCS Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) Specialist, and NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist. With over 20 years in the fitness industry, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for how the body moves, adapts, and functions as an interconnected system,  especially through the nervous system.

 

My approach is practical and results-driven. I believe in learning through doing, not just theory, and I apply that same philosophy with every client I work with. Keola Method is built on helping people move better, feel stronger, and perform at their highest potential in life and sport.

 

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me chasing waves, training, or spending time with my family.

Success Stories

Real Clients.
Real Results.
Professionals across New York who move better, feel stronger, and train without limitation.
I worked with Keola because my tight hips were making workouts and city walks uncomfortable. The technique quickly identified my weak areas, relieved the tightness in my hips, and strengthened those muscles, easing my pain. Now, my workouts and walks are much more enjoyable. Whenever I feel pain or weakness, I see Keola. I highly recommend him!

When I first started seeing Keola, my lower back pain was unbearable. But after a few sessions, I gained great insights into my body. I recommend going two to three times a week for best results. Last month, my pain was at an 8/10, and after a few sessions, it’s down to a 3/10. Each session also improved my flexibility. Thanks to Keola, I’m back to working out with the same intensity as before!

I started working with Keola about a year ago, and it’s been a game-changer. I’m 55, active, and work out 4-6 times a week. But over time, I noticed the right side of my body was becoming stiffer and more limited in its range of motion. Simple things like turning my head or torso to the right became harder than turning to the left. Keola began by working on my right hip. When I tried turning my hips to the left, my right hip would tense up, really limiting my movement. After a few sessions with Keola, that tension started to fade, and my range of motion improved dramatically! What really blew my mind was that he didn’t just focus on my hip—he worked on muscles in my back, left side, and even my right leg. It felt counterintuitive, but the results were undeniable. Another win came when Keola worked on my right shoulder. I struggled with squats because my right elbow wouldn’t go back far enough to support the bar on my shoulders. Keola targeted that issue, and after just two sessions, my range of motion improved, and I could squat comfortably again. If you’re dealing with any kind of movement issue, I can’t recommend Keola enough. It’s worth every minute! 

Anton Schegolov

Executive Director, New York City

"I first started training with Keola in Fall '21 with the goals of gaining strength and size. Keola provided detailed weekly programming, nutritional guidance, and in-gym live feedback, even working around minor injuries and fixing bad/old habits. Over the course of 4 years we set and reached a number of milestones: 225lb bench, 315lb squat, 135lb overhead press, 315lb deadlift, and now I'm hitting most of these for reps. I grew from ~150lbs to over 190lbs in the same timeframe. Easily the best investment I’ve made in my health!" - Cameron O, 2025

"I have trained with Keola for over five years and in that time my balance, speed, strength and conditioning have all improved leaps and bounds. As an avid skier, golfer, tennis and soccer player, balance and rotational strength are vital for success in my sports, as well as injury prevention. With his background in surfing, Keola introduced me to a wide range of dynamic exercises which are far more effective for speed, balance and explosive strength than simply lifting weights.

 

Keola isn't afraid to pull ideas from a variety of modalities including martial arts and he always has a solution for any physical issue. When I've picked up little injuries, we quickly worked through them thanks to Keola's extensive knowledge of physiology and the underlying cause of any given problem. Thanks to Keola I have developed a balanced physique and approach to athletic training."
