When I started with Rise Fitness and Performance, I just wanted to toned up. Ryan pushed me to lift heavier or do more intense workouts when he saw fit. If you're shy about working out in front of others don't be! Here at Rise Fitness and Performance everyone is superrrr friendly! The atmosphere is postive and everyone is trying to have fun working out! I love when we pair up and race each other during difference stamina exercises. It's exciting! Workout sessions are usually in small groups, but Ryan makes it feel like a one on one personal trainer type of session. He really takes his time to make sure you're meeting your personal fitness goals with weekly/daily check ins. He will guide you nutritionally if that's something you're interested in. Overall, amazing gym! It's the place to workout in the San Fernando area. There's no other gym like it!!! read more

This review is long overdue... I have been working out at Rise Fitness for about 2 years and I have to say I have never met a more passionate and knowledgeable trainer than Ryan Sellz. He is not your typical trainer, your results actually matter to him. He has made a tremendous difference in my life and I am very happy I found him. Take it from someone who would never step foot in a gym. Ryan has made me love waking up every morning and working out a part of my daily life routine. He is worth the time and money I've invested... Simply the best there is! read more

Honestly one of the best decisions I ever made was joining Rise. Not only are the coaches extremely knowledge, they are also very caring and attentive to each members needs.

The environment at the gym is so welcoming. From all the trainers and members, you truly feel like you a part of the Rise family. Do yourself a favor and join Rise as soon as you can. read more

This is a really special place. I'll admit I was dragging my feet when I first started, not really sure what I was getting myself into. But the experience has been incredible. My perspective has shifted. Rise has become my break from the day to day. It's nice to come in, put everything else in life on hold for an hour, and know that I'm in good hands. The trainers are all super knowledgeable, funny and kind! I love working out here, and I look and feel better and stronger than I've ever felt in my life. It's been six months now and I'm excited to go into my sessions and pumped for what's to come. Thank you Ryan! read more

Ryan and Rise are such great motivators! This was a fun but challenging 6 weeks and I will definitely tell all my friends about this program. Just remember pain is weakness leaving the body! Thanks Rise Fitness & Performance! Cheers, Ted Willett read more

I know I'm in good hands with Ryan and his team. It's been amazing to feel safe working out with hip pain after birth(s). The trainers know how to exercise your body safely, while gaining muscle and losing weight. I'm really grateful for this gym, and can't recommend it highly enough. It's pricy, but it's worth it. The personal attention they give to your fitness and nutrition is worth it. read more

I have trained with many celeb personal trainers (ones who trained Victoria's Secret models, Kate Upton, etc.) in LA. However, they will charge you hundreds of $$ per session but will not explain you a thing about mechanism behind certain exercise. They did not even care about what kind of workout goal you have. Often times, many of them will just ask you to follow certain movement they do, give fake compliment to you, then disappear once the session time is over. To them, I felt like I was just a good source of $$ to them. I started working out with Ryan after a friend's referral about a year ago. One thing I was surprised after my first session with him was that he will mix/combine various methods (which made the training less boring) and would actually explain each even before I asked him! He not only cares about your workout and nutrition, but also pays attention to your sleeping routine and stress level--in other words, your overall life style! My body went through amazing transformation after working out him for about a year. Try him. Set your workout goal with Ryan or let him know what health goal you have. He will make it happen! read more

Rise Personal Training - 13% body fat - Trainers Near Me - Granada Hills, California

I have been going to Rise for over a year now. I've taken breaks in between and still have not found a place like RISE, from the well educated trainers to the other people who go make it feel like home. I have learned so much about physical and mental fitness here I wouldn't even know where to start. They not only care about your health but they actually show you they care about YOU. There's not a lot of places built like this gem. Give it a try I promise you won't regret it! read more

Rise is the hands down the best personal training gym I've been to. It can be very intimidating when you're starting your journey especially when you don't have much experience but from the minute I stepped foot inside this gym Ryan (the owner) made me feel very comfortable, he's truly a professional as are all of the trainers here. They care about you and your goals and are immensely supportive and challenge you to push past your boundaries every step of the way. There is also the community aspect which first drew me to this place since working out alone in gyms never really suited me. I love the fact that you are surrounded by others who are also dedicated to working on themselves. You will always feel welcome here. Highly recommend! read more

If you are looking for actual results that exceed your expectations, you found your place!! I found this amazing Gym/family about 9 months ago and absolutely love it here!! The coaches have so much knowledge and really motivate you! read more

I started going to Rise Fitness & Performance 03/17. I came in clueless, unhealthy, overweight, and weak. 5 mos into the program and with the full support of the staff, I can definitely feel the difference. I lost 21 pounds (and kept it off) lost 6% body fat and gained 5lbs of muscle and have stabilized my liver enzymes and blood sugar. I couldn't even do 5 pushups when I came in. Now I can easily do 30 in a set. Ryan's program work wonders. I know I could have done better if only my work schedule allowed me to do so. With proper guidance in form and technique, combined with the proper diet, you will get results 100%. I used to hate going to the gym, now I look forward to going every day. I will recommend this gym to anyone trying to make a change in their lives. You will love it! Going to go all out this month til november, will update review then! Did I mention prices? It's really cheap. Best bang for your buck. You cant get this anywhere else. Trust me. I paid $1470 for 24 sessions of inferior training in my fiancee's gym. read more

So I've been training with coach Ryan at Rise performance and fitness for over a few years now and since then I've manage to drop over 90lbs and managed to maintain it off with Coach Ryan's help. I have nothing but gratitude and I appreciate all his effort to change my life. He's professional and always on point with my personalized work outs. read more

Been at rise for a little under 3 years now and it is the most consistent place I have worked out in. Functional strength training is hard to come across in Los Angeles. The types of workouts given here make it so I can come in 6 days a week. And that's not to say the workouts are easy, they are definitely targeted to make you WORK, but not in a way that completely takes you out. They have an inbody scan machine that is very accurate with 2 week check ins from the head owner, Ryan. I wish he was there more often however because he is the best trainer there. I'm loving Rise and am able to stick to my routine while I'm away and that's important to me! Love the people there. All ages, races, sizes, all motivating and happy to work out. read more

Rise is the best gym in LA! In a sea of 24 hr and LA fitnesses, Rise is privately owned and massively caring. The trainers are so knowledgeable and every program is tailor specifically for YOU and your goals! Can't recommend enough! read more

A few years ago I was in a pretty bad bike accident. Because of the accident I was constantly plagued was back pain which caused me to not be able to workout consistently without hurting my back. It wasn't til I met Ryan and the team over at Rise Fitness that I was able to start getting back in shape and addressing my back issues with a custom taylored workout plan. This place is a real life saver! read more

This is the best gym ever. I normally always pay for a gym membership and I never show up. It is the total opposite when it comes to Rise Fitness & Performance. I have been coming since August. I enjoy how sessions are personalized. I really enjoy working with the trainers they are very knowledgeable and are always there to help you out. Everyone is so friendly and the environment is full of positivity. read more

Joining Rise Fitness and Performance is the best decision you could ever make. I have been at Rise for a year and literally my whole family has joined as well. The results speak for themselves, but the environment is the true selling point. You feel like you are apart of a family and not just a gym where you get in and get out. The personal training and group classes are updated pretty often so you are always pushing yourself to new limits. Don't compare this to your local gym because they are not the same level of service. You have to compare it to similar strength training or personal trainings. Trust me when I say it's worth every penny! Its an investment in yourself that you will not regret. I lost 25lbs in a year. They also cater to all fitness levels from zero workout experience to full on fitness gurus. You never feel out of place and the trainers are all patient and knowledgeable. read more

If your goal is to live a healthier lifestyle then you must start by signing up to Rise Performance. Ryan is great teacher and motivator and will help you lead you to the results that you want to achieve. He does a good job in teaching and explaining to you each exercise. I have been training with Ryan for almost six months and I am seeing results that I was never able to see by working out on my own. Ryan will put you on a training program and will offer tips on how to better control your eating habits. Goals can only be achieved if you are willing to put in the hard work and Ryan is there every step of the way to make sure you reach that goal. I would highly recommend Ryan and Rise Performance if you are interested in living a healthy lifestyle. read more

Overall great training! What I love most about Rise Performance is that its very systematic. The training always keeps your body evolving, not only in a strength perspective but also in functionality in your body that youve lost over time. It blew my mind to see how much mobility I had lost over the years of continuing bad habits and weight training without a professional guiding my workouts. Slowly I have regained not only strength but also mobility and flexibility. The nutritional aspect was a thing I needed the most help with and its made such an impact because it all works together with the training program, your body will ask you for the right foods. Ive had a ton of success so far and im sure you will too. I would and have definitely recommended this to others. I have lost a total of 52 pounds and have never felt better. read more

I began training with Ryan about two months ago and I love it. Ryan is a great motivator and instructor and a true fitness coach. Since joining, my clothes fit better and I feel better too. He is definitely helping me reach my fitness goals. I would absolutely recommend him for anyone looking to for a true gym! read more

I have known Ryan for several years and trained with him in Brazilian jiu-jitsu but it's only recently that I went to Rise fitness in order to get help with a back issue that I've been having problems with for about a year. Doctors told me that I needed to have all sorts of procedures done and that it might be a lifelong condition, but after only a little over a month working with the trainers here, I'm already experiencing no back pain and highly increased mobility. It had been so long since I had been able to simply function without pain that I had almost forgotten what it was like. The simple joy of being able to move around without wincing every time I move a little bit wrong is indescribable. Everyone over there is fantastic and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to get a personalized workout that is tailored to help meet your own goals without pushing you into hurting yourself or doing things you are uncomfortable with in the way that some other places pressure you. Thanks again, Ryan, Wyatt, and Adam!!! read more

Ryan and his team help make your workout fun even while they're kicking your butt. I've been training with him for about 9 months now and am noticeably stronger and have more stamina. The semi-private workouts are customized to your specific goals and limitations and the trainers work with you to ensure you get the most out of your time there. The gym was recently renovated and looks great and all the equipment is clean and quality. Prices are reasonable too. Definitely recommend! read more

I try to stay active and have tried many different types of classes from CrossFit, Pilates reformer, rock climbing, to even aerial yoga but Rise's 30-Day Training Experience has been my favorite by far. The coaches and other members are all so friendly that they became my main motivation for showing up and working out. I felt like they all genuinely wanted me to succeed after only knowing them for a short time. The workouts push you and leave you sweating but I never felt like it was too much. I definitely plan on becoming a full time member once we're able to leave the house again. Open your doors Rise! I'm comin!! read more

I can truly say I look forward to working out now! The first few months I dreaded it, but I pushed through thanks to Ryan! Ryan as well as the other fellow members and trainers motivates you to do your best. Ryan helps you achieve goals, understands that not everyday our body is 100% therefore he suggests alternative workouts especially when I may have aches and pains. I love coming in, 1 hour out of my day, and having my work out planned out just for me and my goals. read more

Ryan and the team are great. He individualizes your workout to meet your specific goal, whether it be weight loss, toning, etc. I started around February 2017 and definitely feel a lot stronger than when i started. He has a body scanner that tracks your progress and in 4 months, I've lost 1.5% of body fat. yay (: I think that's pretty good especially considering I haven't changed my diet (I love red meat, candy, and chips) and I only go to the gym twice a week. Everyone there (trainers and trainees) are super friendly and although the workouts can be tough, it makes it fun. read more

being part of the rise family has been a great experience. the team of couches is excellent at what they do and they always listen to your concerns. by helping you reach your personal goal. i really recommend it to people who have a set goal in mind and have been trouble meeting that goal. you will not be disappointed. read more

I've been working out with Ryan at Rise for over 2 years and this is the first and longest period of consistent workouts I've ever had. I used to dread going to the gym and be afraid of lifting weights. Now I recommend it to everyone! Ryan tailors my workout to reach specific goals we update every 4 to 6 weeks, even keeping injuries in mind. He's always patient, professional, and uplifting. I really appreciate the way he always encourages me to push past my comfort zone and get stronger and more confident. Periodic measurements help track my progress, and he is always helpful with nutritional advice. Working out in semi-privates and seeing the same faces helps keep workouts fun and keep me motivated. Thank you Rise for keeping me accountable and getting me into the best shape of my life!! I wish there were more than 5 stars to give. read more

I can honestly say working out at Rise has changed me.! I used to really struggle with working out and hated lifting weights. I now love working out (including weights) to the point where it's a total MUST in my life. This is such a great program to get in shape (as well as stay in shape). Ryan really pays attention to building workouts for your needs and goals, including any injuries you may have. He's the best !!! read more

So happy to be back! Awesome environment, great people to workout with and professional staff!! Ryan and his team are super attentive, patient but most important MOTIVATING! I leave every class feeling great and dripping sweat . Go check it out! You will NOT disappointed! read more

Great place for beginners or advance workouts. They take you step by step on the workouts and help adjust to your level. They also keep track on each workout by equipment, reps, and weight. Highly recommend. read more

I've been going here since July 2018 and have really enjoyed my time. The team is constantly giving you input on overall health and technique. I've noticed the team is constantly giving each other tips and advice on new exercises, or different things they've learned, etc...which then translates into its member producing results! I've lost a ton of weight, gained strength and feeling great! Don't get it twisted, it takes a focus to achieve whatever you are trying to achieve but you can't blame it on this outstanding team. Thank you! read more

Love this place been going for 2 years. The trainers are awesome and help you out in everything. They help you on whatever level your at, if your just starting or your injured they will help you with your goal. They also offer meal plans to help you further your goal. Better then a regular gym. read more

Ryan is an amazing trainer and I would not want to train with anyone else! I feel motivated and energized throughout my entire day after doing my routine morning exercise with him. If I had not found Ryan, I would not be in shape and as fit as I am today. He is extremely educated in fitness and nutrition and is always pushing me and my other work out buddies to do our best. We change fitness and nutrition goals through phases, which really helps my body stay on track. Rise Fitness and Performance truly is one of a kind. Ryan is extremely helpful and anyone is welcome, no matter what level you are at. I've been shedding pounds and inches ever since I started. I highly recommend Rise Fitness and Performance! read more

Can't say enough of how strong I feel after having trained with Ryan and his trainers. I lost a whole bunch of baby weight, but was never strong. Rise's program was tailored to me, my goals, needs and capabilities. It was not your typical Bootcamp, nor the trendy max-out of CrossFit. Starting from fat skinny and no muscle, I didn't feel intimidated because everyone is on their own program, so there's no comparing what one person is doing. Also, the type of exercises weren't typical things I dread doing, Rather they were small unexpected movements to strengthen. Now having been a member for 10 months, I feel strong and have less focus on the scale. Also, I had a shoulder joint injury, and Ryan tailored my program to take this into account for time to heal properly. The members are friendly and down to earth. A bonus is that the facility is well executed and always clean. Lastly, Ryan cares about your progress so he will follow up if he's noticed you've missed, and take into account when your sore. read more

Ryan coached me for over a year, and I have nothing but great things to say! Most importantly, he is very knowledgeable about training techniques. From weights to cardio circuits, Ryan knows proper form/technique, appropriate training zones, and what exercises to do to achieve his clients' goals. He also knows how to tailor exercises for individual clients. Whether you're a hardcore gym rat or only work out sparingly, he will modify exercises to fit your current strength/conditioning and fitness goals. Last, Ryan is a fun and motivating person. Working out with him always seemed more like a fun challenge than a difficult task. I'd highly recommend training with him! read more

I trained with Ryan while he was a coach at my company's fitness center. Ryan is a fantastic teacher who helped me better understand what fitness really means. Previously, my workouts consisted of repetitive running or targeted muscle group exercises, which left me rather inflexible and imbalanced. Ryan taught me exercises grounded in functional movement; they took a while to get used to, but I eventually noticed better quality of movement in other daily activities. Ryan also designed custom circuit/interval workouts that pushed me to exceed what I had thought was my potential. He was genuinely concerned with meeting my goals and frequently adjusted workouts based on my feedback. I always looked forward to his energy and infectiously positive attitude, not to mention his hairstyle, which is the eighth wonder of the world. read more
