He then makes a protein shake before heading to his workout center, Egan\u2019s Fitness, where he launches into a series of breathing exercises, calisthenics and push-ups. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When he\u2019s satisfied with his daily warm-ups, Inoue will pack up his downwind foilboard and head to the ocean, eager to burn about 1,000 calories in an hour and a half. When he\u2019s done, he\u2019ll head back to the gym to perform mobility exercises before he\u2019s off to work with clients and teach fitness classes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Amazingly, he does this all before the clock strikes 8. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Next weekend, Inoue will still be waking up at 4 a.m., but for a different purpose \u2014 to gear up for the sixth annual Young at Heart Expo. The event takes place Sept. 26-27 at the Neal S. Blaisdell Exhibition Hall, and Inoue says he\u2019s looking forward to his fitness center\u2019s participation in the two-day expo. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c(The expo) is designed for 55 and over, and if you\u2019re looking for a great quality of life and you\u2019re interested in longevity, this is something that you should show up at,\u201d Inoue advises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Egan\u2019s Fitness instructors will be there offering a sports trainer for all ages, a high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout, and a Fit Forever coach that will be running a class for people to work on their balance and coordination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Inoue offers this piece of advice to those who value their physical condition: \u201cIf you don\u2019t prioritize your health and fitness today, you\u2019re going to be forced to prioritize that when you get older.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">F<\/span><span class=\"s1\">itness has been a part of Inoue\u2019s life for as long as he can remember. The M\u0101noa Valley native started training in martial arts at the age of 4. His parents, Naomi and Errol, also enrolled him in baseball and basketball at a young age and he remained active in sports through high school \u2014 first at Roosevelt and then after he transferred to University of Hawai\u2018i Lab School. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">At 16, Inoue discovered the sport of racquetball and his whole life changed. He began playing competitively and went on to become the state champion by the time he graduated from UH Lab in 1983. Soon after, he turned professional and traveled the world for the next 10 years \u2014 highlighted by his world titles in 1986 and 1990, and his qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Team. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">For his racquetball prowess, Inoue was inducted into the International Racquetball Federation in 2020. Along with his induction, he also received a plaque and a letter from the federation in which he was credited for a major rule change \u2014 one which limited players to only one serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI would spend hours in the court hitting thousands and thousands of one certain shot until I got it. It was just repetition every day,\u201d Inoue reminisces. \u201cI always remembered one of my coaches telling me, \u2018The more reps you do, the better off you\u2019re going to be. It takes 10,000 reps in order to master it.\u2019 That\u2019s what I was trying to do all the time and I think it helped develop discipline because I knew what I wanted in the end was to be the world champion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When his racquetball-playing days ended, Inoue carried this same discipline into the world of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The owner of black belts in tae kwon do, hapkido, shotokan karate, Jeet kune do and Japanese jiu-jitsu, Inoue has dominated every Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament he entered in Hawai\u2018i and California as a blue belt and was ready for the next step in claiming the world title in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>And that\u2019s exactly what he did in 1996 \u2014 a feat that had never been done before by a non-Brazilian competitor. He did it again the following year as a purple belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Returning to his martial arts roots was a fortuitous move for Inoue. His younger brother, Enson, had a major fight lined up as he was on his way to becoming the Shooto world champion. However, he asked Inoue to stand in for him due to him being unable to fight due to a staph infection. Inoue agreed, entered the MMA ring for the first time ever in his life and won the fight by submission in the first round. Ultimately, he wound up winning five more world titles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">It was around this time that his wife, Marcia, asked Inoue what he planned to do with all the MMA honors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cYou\u2019re just going to keep trying to win world titles?\u201d she inquired. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you use it for something better?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Enter Egan\u2019s Fitness \u2014 originally dubbed Egan\u2019s Bootcamp \u2014 which opened in 2010 in M\u0101noa Marketplace, and now has two locations, in Honolulu and Pearl City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWhat we try to do is we try to make fitness easy for people because it\u2019s a very hard thing,\u201d says Inoue. \u201cAnytime a new client comes in, we do a fitness assessment because it\u2019s hard to get somewhere if you don\u2019t know where you are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">From there, Egan\u2019s Fitness will recommend the different services and programs the center has to offer \u2014 ranging from group fitness, weightlifting, functional strength training, to name a few. It also provides nutrition consultations, a wellness center, Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes, youth athletic training and its Fit Forever class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I<\/span><span class=\"s1\">noue makes it a point to be in the gym each day in order to offer guidance to clients and everyday gym members. One of these people is 99-year-old John Hayakawa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The two first met when Hayakawa\u2019s son approached Inoue and asked if he could train his father, whose health had been declining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cHe doesn\u2019t have that bounce in his step anymore,\u201d Inoue recalls Hayakawa\u2019s son telling him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When Hayakawa first came in, Inoue did an assessment to see what his strengths and weaknesses were and also asked Hayakawa what he was looking for in a fitness program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cTheir \u2018why\u2019 should be because they want to be independent for as long as they can,\u201d says Inoue. \u201cAnd that was John\u2019s thing, which is a big thing. Because, to me, the stronger your why is \u2014 why you want to do something \u2014 the better chances you\u2019re going to stick with it and you\u2019re gonna stay consistent with it. And that\u2019s where John is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Under Inoue\u2019s guidance, Hayakawa has been improving his functional strength, coordination and balance. He\u2019s also been performing exercises like throwing balls against the wall and hitting baseballs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI\u2019ve been training him for over three years and the amount of strength and balance he\u2019s gained since has been pretty remarkable,\u201d Inoue says proudly. \u201cThe bounce in his step is back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When asked why it was so important for Hayakawa to prioritize fitness, he responds, \u201cYou\u2019re always trying to keep well and keep going. You try different kinds of things. But then when you get into something like this training with Egan, you\u2019re totally motivated to kind of keep going and then there\u2019s the whole sense of wanting to be well (that) becomes more important.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Hayakawa encourages others to do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThis whole sense of being able to move around, to lift things, it gives you a kind of sense of freedom,\u201d he says. \u201cI look around and truly wish others could have the same kind of experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Inoue agrees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAt my age now, I\u2019m 60, that\u2019s where my focus has been in the last 10 years \u2014 (on) longevity,\u201d he says. \u201cHow am I going to make it to 100 years old and still be doing athletic stuff?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s why he developed his new online program: Egan Inoue\u2019s Blueprint for Living Long and Living Strong, which he hopes to release next month. The program focuses on mindset, exercises that everybody should be doing, mobility and also what beneficial supplements there are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The program is also set to release as an ebook with the same name as well \u2014 making it the second that Inoue has published in his lifetime. His first book, <i>Becoming Relentless<\/i>, which \u201cis a blueprint to achieving what you want in life, business and sports,\u201d was published in 2014. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cMost people see me as a world champion and they think about me always winning, but in this book, I like to share about all the times I\u2019ve failed,\u201d notes Inoue. \u201cThis book is about overcoming obstacles \u2026 and I would hope that it inspires people no matter where they are in their lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each day, Egan Inoue wakes up at 4 in the morning.
