This place is the real deal. A pretty active athlete throughout high school (tennis, ran with cross…read morecountry kids, lifted heavy weights), I fell off the track after graduation and was in desperate need for something that would push and challenge me. I tried going to the gym, which worked out for a while, but I soon became bored with the constant repetition. I needed something a little more interesting. Lo and behold, I stumbled across this gym. Met the owner Jeff on an open gym day, who offered a free class before a membership, but I decided to become a member right then and there anyways. Best decision I could've possibly made. Here's a mental picture of a typical weekday evening, maybe around 7: walking into the gym, the first thing you see and hear are the punching bags. The smack of gloves against rubber, and then a timer going off every minute or so at a constant rate. Look to your right, a small class of new members doing a warm up. Look up at the boxing ring, a sparring match is taking place while the owner Jeff is on the sideline throwing in commentary for improvement. Chairs by the front might be occupied by a mom or two, watching as her little ones learn the basics of shadow boxing and how to wrap their hands for protection. All whilst rap music is blasting throughout the gym. With this scene in front of you, you won't be able to shake off this need to put in some work. Moving onto the actual classes. Not going to lie, the first few days suck. The workout with the instructor Jorge is going to kick your ass- I've been here for a little more than a month and for some classes I show up to, there's someone running to the bushes outside to puke at the very end. I've seen a military personnel practically winded- guess boot camp has nothing on here! But as the weeks pass by, you start noticing that hey... I did 10 more than the last time. This doesn't suck as much. And you start noticing how your stamina is improving, and that makes everything so incredibly worthwhile. You can thank Jorge for that, an amazing instructor who will push you beyond your boundaries, but understands that the body still has physical limits and will always want your health to come first. All around fantastic gym with great energy. I highly recommend to anyone seeking out a good workout for a very good deal, wants to relieve some stress, or plan on becoming the next Rocky. This is the place you want to be at.

Having had no boxing experience before, I was pretty nervous to try Pound 4 Pound. After a few…read morevisits, I realize I had nothing to worry about. The coach, Antonio, teaches beginners just as well as those who have been boxing for years. Pound 4 Pound is so much more than average title boxing, it focuses on technique, how to properly defend yourself, & it introduced me to a lot of combinations rather than just jab, cross, & left hook. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to get into boxing for the first time, wants to get back into boxing, or just wants to have an effective and intense work out.

I would be very leery of letting the owner of this gym have your credit card information. Antonio…read morewith drew $405 out of my account that was not agreed to.

However, since that initial conversation Antonio will not answer or return any of my phone calls, and I have yet to be reimbursed. The training offered was good, just make sure you pay with cash.

I ended my membership at this location after a serious negative experience…read more During that time, an instructor repeatedly stared me down during class and, on one occasion, showed up at an unrelated weight gym I was using and stared at me as I exited. A member also repeatedly followed me around in class and remained within about a foot of me even after I walked away or left the area to get distance. I raised concerns about this behavior, but I did not feel they were handled appropriately. When I raised concerns with leadership, I was told in substance that my concerns would be dismissed and that they would stand by the instructor involved. After I spoke up, I felt the situation became worse rather than better. I also tried to follow up through multiple channels because I wanted there to be awareness and oversight, but I did not receive a meaningful response. Based on my experience, I did not feel safe or supported in the training environment and felt I had no reasonable option but to leave. The experience had lasting effects on my sense of safety and confidence. Members should be able to raise serious concerns without fear of dismissal or escalation. This happened years ago, and I hope processes and oversight have improved since then.

This is the first time I've ever written a review for a gym but this facility is too good to not…read moregive it the recognition it deserves! Rise Gym has a commercial gym side, a powerlifting side, and a strongman side. In the commercial gym, there is an upstairs and a downstairs section. There's already plenty of treadmills and cardio machines downstairs but there's even more in the upstairs area as well as a section for kids to play in. Not to mention, there is a supplement store where you can shop for protein, preworkout, vitamins, healthy snakcs, etc. so I thought that was pretty neat! As a powerlifter, Rise Barbell is hands down, the best place to work out. The powerlifting side just opened this summer and I cannot thank the owner Dr. Sean for providing such an amazing facility for me to train at before I competed at Raw Nationals this year. There are plenty of brand new TSS combo racks and barbells as well as new Rogue Kilo/pound plates. There's also many deadlift platforms as well as one olympic weightlifting section. Aside from that, there is a long strip of turf that separates the powerlifting section from the machines for body builders. Speaking of body builders, there is a posing room so that's another big plus! Inside this building, there is also a Physical Therapy section run by Dr. Sean. Oh yeah, did I mention there's AC too? I've visited numerous powerlifting gyms in the Houston area but none of them had AC so I appreciate how I'm not drenched in sweat just from walking into a gym. Aside from the amazing facility, the staff and trainers here are incredibly kind. I appreciate how they helped host/run fun events for members to participate in! Overall, the amount of hard work and passion that the owners and workers put into this gym speaks volumes. Honestly, I could go on and on as to why this is the best gym I've ever visited but I hope everyone gets to experience working out at Rise Barbell.

My trainer has been so encouraging and listens/makes modifications to help support a gradual improvement in strength. Cleanliness. This is the reason for the 4 stars. There could be more attention to cleaning of equipment from staff or cleaning services in both the rise gym and barbell. The main door entering rise has been seen multiple times with handprints smudged all over and dust on equipment. I do appreciate the cleaning products and towels to clean off instruments after use, however during non peak times there are no towels available. Not sure who to let know regarding this, but will change my review once I see this area addressed.
