At Rise, we don’t train to be smaller—we train to be stronger. This is a strength-focused, semi-private gym built for people who want more: more confidence, more muscle, more power in and out of the gym.

Our classes are capped at six. Our coaching is science-backed and personal. And our vibe? Fierce, focused, and never here for fitness fads. Whether you're a mom reclaiming time for yourself, a teen athlete chasing performance, or someone simply ready to take up more space—you belong here.

Come as you are. Leave feeling like a force of nature.
