Amazing gym! When I first joined over a year ago, I was looking for a strength training class in a…read moregroup setting, and after having done CrossFit before, I wanted to try something new. Rise has been perfect. Owner/head coach Ayo and the rest of the coaches are wonderful. There are entry points for any skill level. Whether you've been lifting weights for years or are completely new, the coaches are hugely detail oriented when it comes to form and will spend time with you depending on your needs while keeping you motivated. It's a great vibe and sense of community. Incredibly clean and tidy as well!

A Masterclass in Fitness, Community, and Consistency…read more I've been a proud member of Rise Fitness for years, and I still catch myself saying, "This is the best and most challenging workout ever!"--only for the very next class to top it. That's the Rise effect. Ayo's programming is nothing short of masterful--precise, intentional, and incredibly well-designed. Every workout builds on the last, helping you move better, get stronger, and (let's be honest) look your absolute best while doing it. His approach is both science-driven and people-centered, which is rare and refreshing. But what truly sets Rise apart is the environment. The space is electric, the energy is contagious, and the community is one of the most supportive, encouraging groups you'll ever sweat alongside. These are the kind of members who cheer for you, challenge you, and celebrate every win. Ayo, Sarah, and the entire Rise team have created something genuinely special--a place where showing up feels like leveling up. If you're looking for a gym that transforms you from the inside out, start here. Rise Fitness... just show up. The rest will follow. -Floyd A. | Bloomfield

Linda is an extremely knowledgeable and effective instructor for the variety of classes that I have…read moretaken over the last couple  of years.  (Pilates mat, Barre, Spin, Cardio Sculpt). She provides excellent verbal and visual instruction for both the in person and virtual classes that she has been doing for almost a year now.  She reminds you what muscles to concentrate or focus on for a particular move to be more effective.  She always calls out modifications for anyone that may have an injury, joint or back issues. If a class is a mix of skill levels she is mindful that each person is getting the appropriate instruction so the beginners don't feel overwhelmed and the more experienced are still challenged.  She will call out adjustments to an individual so they have the opportunity for maximum results. Linda has a general concern for your overall health. She is very personable and makes you feel comfortable in the classes. I highly recommend anyone who is interested to give a call to Pulse Pilates.

So here I am nearly 3 months into working out at Crossfit Meadowlands and my only regret is that I…read moredidn't know about Crossfit training earlier. Crossfit Meadowlands provides the most intense all-around workouts that I've ever experienced and I was working with good personal trainers for the past 1 1/2 years. However, CM takes training to a whole new level, and thus takes YOU to a whole new level. I thought that I was in pretty decent shape before CM, but quickly realized (from the very first workout) that I wasn't in as good all-around shape as I thought. The whole concept of Crossfit training is unique in that there no machines at this gym, YOU are the machine. Also, the training sessions are structured (apx 1 hr) in a small group setting. This is a very cool way to train because it's like a little family at CM and everyone encourages each other to push themselves; and you will be pushed to accomplish things that you never thought you could do. Everyone does the same workout, but just tailored to each individual's abilities. So whether you've been training for years or just rolling off of the couch, CM will accommodate your level of fitness. That's the beauty of Crossfit training.......you never plateau, you never become bored and you never stop striving to get to the next level. Even though it's a group setting, you're basically competing against yourself to become stronger and more fit. What's more, everyday is a different workout program, so you never get into that "rut" of a routine. Every workout has essentially the same 5 components which consists of: 1) stretching (and not touching your toes for 10 seconds, an all-around all-body stretch using CM techniques); 2) warm up (typically rowing or running); 3) strength (dedicated to building strength to a particular body part); 4) WOD (workout of the day-this is typically a nonstop set time limit workout incorporating both strength and cardio; 5) Closer (if you haven't dropped dead after the WOD, there's a closer for good measure which could be pushing a sled, flipping truck tires, climbing a rope, or some other tortuous activity. The trainers are awesome. Almost every exercise that I've done at CM is something new that I've never done before and the trainers really explain and demonstrate proper technique, which is essential to Crossfit training, especially when performing the strength moves using the barbells. If you're dead serious about getting yourself into incredible shape and looking and feeling better than you ever have, then CM is the gym for you!
