About
You can do anything you put your mind to—and I’m here to prove it. I’m a fitness coach and team leader at Ikaika Fitness Factory, offering personal training and life coaching built around your real-life goals.
With over 25 years in fitness, I use unique equipment and customized training programs to support everything from weight loss to competition prep. My focus is on helping you feel stronger, more confident, and proud of the way you look and feel.
I grew up as the insecure, introverted “fat” kid, so I know how intimidating fitness can be. Training changed my life and showed me that nothing is impossible. If you’re ready to rewrite your story, I’d be honored to help you get there.

You want results, choose Dakota. You want to look and feel good, choose Dakota. You want to TRANSFORM!!! CHOOSE DAKOTA. Out of all the trainers I have known and trained with, Dakota has and always will be one of the greats. Like everything in life, what you put into the training you will get. You will feel the pain, you will feel like giving up, you will feel muscles that you have never felt before… but it is all part of Dakota’s plan to TRANSFORM your body. If you are looking to learn more about your body, sculpt your body, and even strengthen your mind. I promise you, Dakota can get the job done!!
P.S. You gotta want it! Because Dakota will reciprocate that same energy and then some!

Since working with Dakota 2-4 times a week I went from 215lbs lean to 250lbs lean at 6’1. Working with her has helped me so much in and outside of the gym. If you are looking for general fitness training or want to compete in a bodybuilding show, she is the best in the business. Learning from her and getting to know Dakota has been nothing short of a privilege. She is always on time, professional, full of knowledge, and has a phenomenal reputation on island as well as the west coast.

Can’t say enough amazing things about Dakota. She’s someone who has challenged me, believed in me, pushed me outside my comfort zone, celebrated my wins and supported me through really hard seasons.
What makes her so special is how genuinely she cares. I’ve never felt like just another client. She has impacted me in ways that go far beyond fitness and nutrition and I’m so grateful for all the growth, laughs, lessons, and memories along the way!!
At the end of the day the results are amazing hello glute growth, but the friendship we’ve built means even more to me. I came for the coaching and walked away with a friend for life. I couldn’t be more grateful for her

The work speaks for itself I’ve seen many clients of hers go thru the training and the results speaks for itself. Very helpful and each exercise has a meaning and target for the muscle group. Worth it 100%.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Dakota! Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and passionate about what she does, but she is also one of the most genuine people I have met and I am beyond grateful that she is my trainer.
She genuinely cares about the people she works with, not just their fitness goals, but who they are as individuals. She pushes you to become the best version of yourself while making you feel supported, encouraged, and believed in every step of the way. Her heart for others is truly something special.
I have so much love and respect for her, both as a trainer and as a person. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her is incredibly lucky. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
One on One sessions are 50-60 minutes. Includes a monthly program with workout cards starting at both small and large packages covering you for a month up to 6 months or more!
Partner and group training available.
Meal plans and check ins priced on a monthly basis.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A consultation either in person or via phone kicks off the process. It’s important to understand my clients goals, assess a program, talk about nutrition and instruct and coach them on how to blast through their goals. Each person is uniquely different and should be treated as such. The new client interview helps both parties see if there’s a match. Every trainer has a different approach so it’s important to be able to have a dialogue around that and also see if there’s a personality match as well!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been training and coaching for over 25 years with a huge track record of success in helping people lose over 100lbs...working with physique competitors...athletes...and new gym goers.
