YWCA Oahu - Laniakea

YWCA O‘ahu is the best-kept fitness secret in downtown Honolulu. Our historical site, YWCA Laniākea (1040 Richards Street), offers a wide range of activities and amenities, including a full-length basketball court, group classes, a heated outdoor pool, fitness center, personal training and more. Laniākea literally translated from Hawaiian means “open skies” or “wide horizons.” This name befits both the open-air design of the building, and YWCA Oahu's mission of opening doors for women and the community. A haven of stunning architecture, Laniākea features spacious corridors and a courtyard that provides a sense of respite in the heart of Hawaii's largest city.  Opened in 1927, Laniākea is landmark that has withstood many different eras and many different societal needs. It has endured as a hub of aloha for the community, housing health and wellness resources, as well as programs for personal and professional development for women.
