Rise Fitness has by far exceeded my expectations. Last spring, at the age of 49, I realized that I was always tired and had gained 20 pounds over the past few years. I needed more energy to keep up with the increasing demands of work and family life, so, I enlisted a friend’s help with starting pilates. I began cycling with my husband as well. Still, I felt that I needed something more to improve my overall stamina. I took advantage of the free trial week offered at Rise Fitness and honestly thought I would be too uncoordinated to be able to follow along in class. What I discovered was a completely UNIQUE experience. Every class is filled with an ever changing variety of interesting, fun and challenging exercises that work my mind as well as my entire body. The trainers are top notch and extremely professional, encouraging team work and leadership skills that coincide perfectly with a framework I now try to adapt for use with my students as an elementary school teacher. I highly recommend Rise Fitness and am grateful for the positive mind set that fosters strength of character and body which has improved every area of my life.

I’ve been a member of Rise Fitness for about 9 months. I was looking for more than a generic gym with dumbbells, standard benches, machines and treadmills. I felt if I went that route, I’ll soon be stuck in a rut. Before joining, I was in what I call a fitness funk where I would try to get in shape, make minor progress, quickly hit a plateau, then struggle to get out of it. I quickly learned that Rise Fitness incorporated such a wide variety of exercises and philosophies, while always preaching safety. The trainers incorporate a variety of resistance training from TRX to resistance bands to kettle bells to viprs to slam balls to calisthenics and much more. And, equally as important, they put a great emphasis on building cardio, core strength and balance. I’ve lost more than 20 pounds of fat. My abs are immensely stronger. My mood and posture has improved, and I’m in much, much better health. Culturally, Rise Fitness encourages everyone to reach new heights and is open to people with varying fitness levels. All the trainers are friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it.

Rise has been my go to place for about 4+ years now. It is THE BEST place for a total body workout with the best coaches who work on not only motivating and encouraging you but also more importantly teaching you proper form and posture. In addition to the coaches, the Rise members are exceptional - they support and root for you. On a personal level before I started Rise, I would run into recurring episodes of lower back pain issues. Rise changed all that. Within a few months, I was getting better, stronger and was in the best shape in my life. Also, the Rise way alleviated my back issues completely. My extended family, friends and even my doctor ask me the secrets for the changes and I share my Rise story. I cannot thank Rise enough, for it changed my life style completely.

I was visiting my brother and wanted to get a good workout in that wasnt a regular gym and I found RiseFit via a Google search. HIIT classes are part of my core workout routine and this did not disappoint. The facilities were fantastic - clean, new equipment and lots of space. My instructor, Rob, was super friendly, and asked about my injuries and made sure to give me modifications in case I couldnt do one of the exercises. The folks in class were also welcoming and I felt like part of a team, even though it was my first class. The class itself was well thought out and structured, and even though it was a challenging class, Rob and the folks in class really pushed you to work out hard. I will definitely come back. I highly recommended you check this out!

One word: obsessed! Prior to joining Rise, I was a member of a similar type of gym. Ive seen more results in the past 6 weeks than I have in the last 4 years at my previous gym. The trainers, the workouts, and the positive energy is exactly what is needed to get me to the fitness goals Ive been trying to achieve all these years. As a new member of Rise, I appreciate that the workouts are scaled based on fitness levels to accommodate the beginners and veterans. Everyone is very welcoming, encouraging, and friendly. Most importantly, unlike traditional gyms, the trainers value quality over quantity, its all about the form. Excited to see where the next 6 months take me!

I was looking for a challenging workout and Rise is definitely the place. Being over 60, I wanted to be sure that I would be able to work hard but not kill myself. 1. The workouts are always different so it is always a surprise as to what you will be suffering (doing) each class within the structured session 2. The instructors are extremely focused on everyone (even in larger 10+) classes to ensure that form is correct and you don’t injure yourself 3. The other participants are truly supportive and quietly competitive to help motivate you even on off days I truly look forward to the workouts and enjoying the satisfaction of completing them. What more do you need?

I have enjoyed my first two weeks at Rise Fitness very much! The staff has really made an effort to get to know me, my injuries, and my goals. They are very friendly and encourage everyone to push through the calisthenics. The high-ceiling, padded-floor gym with all of the equipment for TRX-like exercise is appealing. It seems that the members have made friends at the gym, so that there is a social element as well. There is plenty of room to park. I have taken low-impact Core, Pilates, and Yoga Stretch classes thus far. Even the sign-in is tech-smart, with a large screen and touch screen. I recommend this club for a good, hard workout in a friendly environment!!

It always makes me a bit nervous to try a new gym in the morning--what if I get up and its horrible and totally not worth it? Well I tried my first class this morning after dragging myself out of bed and let me tell you it was totally worth it. A good combination of cardio and strength leading to a total body workout in a very cool gym setting. I liked the team aspect of the workout the best--everyone was so nice and encouraging while working their butts off. The coaching was encouraging and motivating. I tried this class through classpass and dont live in the area but next time I am back for work, I will definitely be stopping in.

I showed up at Rise Fitness last November (2014) with a free week trial. After one session I was hooked! In short: 1. It’s the best fun, kick-ass, results-based exercise class Ive experienced. 2. Rob has created a wonderful sense of community where all are welcome – regardless of shape, size, age, etc. All he asks is you give your personal best for 60 minutes. 3. Regardless of class size (8 or 20), all instructors (Josiah, Brendan and Lisa) will give you personal attention. If you’re looking to get back into shape and want to feel good about yourself (physically and emotionally), I highly recommend you give Rise Fitness a try.

After years of working out (and then NOT working out) at a regular gym, I have finally found my Happy Place at Rise. To be able to get a total body workout in every session, strengthen your core, get your heart rate up and to be able to hit all muscle groups in one workout is a dream come true! Every class, every time, is different, challenging and energizing. Youre never bored, never a chance of falling into a mundane rut. Great trainers who are always enthusiastic and positive and helpful! Whatever your level of health and fitness, Rise is the place to go to become your healthiest and most fit YOU!
