RISE Fitness + Adventure

Great gym with friendly staff. I have been a member from Day 1 and generally early hours every day. Several changes to the place over the past year have been positive. The long time regular morning crew is awesome- particularly Jeff; and the team of Hal, Nate, Tyrese, and Baily are the best! I always appreciate the extra effort!

Rise is one of the best gyms I have been to. There is a huge variety of equipment, including free weights, machines, aerobic equipment, and even auto-belay and bouldering climbing areas. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming of everyone! Love this gym!

I’ve been a member of the gym for about 1-1/2 years, and have enjoyed my time there for the most part. Rise clearly has an abundance of talent — from the people manning the front desk to the personal trainers and the folks that teach classes. There have been a lot of changes since the gym was sold last fall. Most of the changes should be for the better — and hopefully will be in the very near future. Adding a yoga studio with an infrared heat system was a wonderful idea, but hot yoga classes have yet to materialize. The new software for member interface is an ongoing challenge. It is not unusual to receive an email mistakenly telling me that my training appointment time has either been cancelled entirely or moved to a different time slot. HELP! I miss participating in the aerial yoga program. I’ve had reservations about taking a class since the rigs were moved to the big classroom (no reflection on Stephanie whatsoever). The ceiling obviously bows in the middle and it isn’t unusual to see debris falling to the floor. I want to believe that management is actively taking steps to insure the ongoing safety of its members, as well as addressing the other issues mentioned. Rise can and should be the premier gym in the area, and I look forward to the day when it reclaims its status as such.

The gym is incredibly spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The staff members are friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to answer any questions I have. The variety of equipment and classes available caters to all fitness levels and preferences. Plus, the gym has a climbing wall. Overall, I highly recommend Rise for its welcoming atmosphere, excellent facilities, and diverse range of fitness options.

This is just a review on the climbing walls and bouldering. The routes for the auto belays make no sense. I am an avid climber and average 5.11s on lead and 5.12s on top rope. I could barely finish a 5.10 at Rise, seems like it was set by someone a foot taller than me and only for people that height. Setting needs to cater to people of all heights and the difficulty level should at least be close to other gyms with equal ratings. I know not all gyms are set the same, but it shouldn’t be this widely different. You Could barely even see the ratings on some, as the tape used didn’t retain the marker: so you sort of had to guess. The bouldering routes seemed like they were set ages ago. Barely any V4-V6 routes in between either stupid easy or ridiculously impossible. Rise needs to get some better route setters with more climbing gym experience, more frequent setting, and better route labeling
