RISE Fitness + Adventure
Reviews
I had problems with how loud the music was being played at RISE, to the point that I could barely hear my playlists when trying to use my earphones on the treadmill. But once I made this issue known to one of the owners, Ryan Peters, he immediately corrected the situation. For management to step up and promptly take action to ensure top-notch customer service is all any member could ask for, or hope for. To put it simply: They Listen. And although I don't take part in the many group lessons, I know many women who love the Zumba and Spin classes there, so there's another plus to consider if you're thinking of joining.
Best of all worlds- great gym atmosphere for ALL your needs, gym, boot camps, Pilates, spin- you name it and they have it.... the best part is the people! They really have created a community feeling where you feel welcome. Don't let that fool you though - they will kick your butt!
Last week, I was visiting the DE beaches for the July 4th holiday. I came to train at Rise last Friday morning, July 4th, and was completely blown away by the facilities and equipment. It was like Disney World for me! I'm an Olympic weightlifter and I regularly train at NOVA Strength and Conditioning in Springfield, VA in an "Open Gym" type of environment. We have Crossfit, Oly, and Strongman equipment and classes. I felt right at home at Rise. The fact that I was able to come to Rise at any time (not during a scheduled Open Gym or class time) to get my lift in was a HUGE plus. The staff was extremely accommodating and the equipment was amazing! Bumper plates and platforms galore. I had everything I needed to get my regular training in, and then some! I was even able to comfortably max out my lifts knowing that I could drop the weight if I needed to. Some places don't allow you to drop weight. Um hello, safety?! I will be returning to Rise every time I visit the beach, and will definitely tell my friends about it. Simply amazing. I made the suggestion to the staff to perhaps start a Barbell Club and get USAW certified. It would be a perfect place to hold a meet since there are 2 separate rooms. Anyway, I could go on, but you get it. It's absolutely perfect for my training while at the beach. Can't wait to come back!
This place is amazing!! The rig room is more than what it looks like, if you go in and do something for 10 minutes; it has already been a great workout! I would definitely suggest this gym over all, the people are wonderful, the equipment is great, and the employees are the right people to work here! If you need help with anything go to Rise Fitness and find the right fit for you because you will!
Training at Rise has enabled me to blow through my personal power barriers. I am at my peak fitness level at 38 and I'm completely hooked... In the past I avoided the gym, now I can't get enough! Awesome facility, challenging group workouts, and inspiring staff.
