Celebrity Fitness Expert Harley Pasternak to Host Series of Classes and Experiences at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, recently named #1 Hotel in the U.S. by U.S. News and World Report, announces world-renowned fitness guru Harley Pasternak will host a series of fitness and nutrition experiences throughout 2025. Harley recently redesigned Hualalai Sports Club & Wellness Center, which was named Best Hotel Gym by Women’s Health magazine. His program will include a variety of fitness classes and experiences encompassing nutrition, movement and recovery.

“Fitness is among many of our guests’ top passions, and we’re proud to offer a variety of incredible amenities and robust programming to help keep them on track during their visit,” says Charlie Parker, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Hualālai. “We know it can be difficult for our guests to stick to a routine or find the time to work out while on vacation. We’re excited to welcome Harley Pasternak back to Four Seasons Resort Hualalai to share his fitness philosophy through his effective trainings and experiences.”

A fitness expert, motivational speaker, New York Times bestselling author and TV host, Pasternak is known for his innovative approach to efficient and effective full body workouts that have earned him a notably large celebrity client roster. Consulting with the likes of Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, John Mayer and Robert Downey Jr. to name a few, Pasternak now hosts fitness and nutrition experiences at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai throughout the year. Much like his work to elevate the Hualalai Sports Club & Wellness Center, Pasternak’s role enables him to reimagine the brand’s fitness facilities and share his well sought-after knowledge with resort guests. In addition, he has designed and pre-recorded a workout video series available to all visitors that focuses on the five most common fitness challenges of travellers, whether it be fighting jet lag or simply maintaining regular exercise on vacation.

Pasternak’s first residency of 2025 will occur March 27-31, 2025, followed by a summer residency July 3-7, 2025. Harley's 2025 summer schedule, available to Resort guests and Hualālai Club members, can be found below.
