Rise is first an amazing Crossfit Gym but very near second an AMAZING community of people. The…read moremembers are all very supportive. The owner Carrie is one of the most kind hearted people with a smile on her face that always makes you want to come back but also pushes you enough to realize all the boundaries you thought you had were just in your head! The other coaches are very professional and patient with newbies like me and that's saying a lot. There are a lot of movements that take time invested to perfect. Everyone is made to feel welcome no matter your skill level and even if you don't think CrossFit style workouts are for you then you also have sweat classes with are more geared towards boot camp styles and damn do they make you sweat! I've tried multiple ways to get fit from regular gyms, running, YouTube workouts at home, hiking multiple times a week and more and so far this has been the one that I have loved the most and I don't think it would have been this way if it were another gym. RISE to your potential at RISE fitness! You won't regret it. (this is not their slogan. I just made it up. ‍) I am a member so you can take that as you will. Come for a free trial and meet the crew!

I spent the last 7-8 years of my life working like a dog. Being an immigrant, providing for family,…read moretrying to get a settled life and giving back to the family has literally been all what I have done, besides opening two businesses. Last 3 years did a number on me like no other though. Going through the most difficult and the worst time in my life, when nothing is going right and everything is falling apart, I knew I needed professional help. You might think I'm extrovert but I'm quite introvert and I don't deeply connect with people easily. More so I never liked the Gym environment because I never met the right people. I always struggled with my body image because I was always bullied for it (even when I was really fit) and so I don't like anyone pushing me around because I am quite hard on myself already, more than I need to mostly. I needed somebody who gave me gentle guidance and yet at the same time gives me positive encouragement to keep going. Working with Jeff in just 2-3 days I could feel the change in me that I so desparately needed. Within the first week itself, I lost close to 6lbs, gained 1% muscle and lost 2% body fat. On top of it all, I was still eating everything I wanted to! I did Yoga and swimming all my life but in the last 3-4 years, life just became too much to handle. To the point that I could feel, beside the enormous weight gain and not recognizing myself in the mirror - hating the image I saw looking back at me and crying my eyes out, I could now feel my mental health deteriorating. Jeff has been so amazing beyond words and just within my first week with him, I have had a much bigger goal now that I came for initially. I wanted Jeff to make me stronger physically since the job and weight gain had completely wore my body off. I have a lot of back issues and Jeff has been unbelievable in keeping that in mind and yet making me work for it. I sleep better and I feel more powerful each day. I can't wait to reach my goal. For the first time in my life, I will be EXACTLY who I always wanted to be and I wouldn't have to keep covering my body in baggy clothes and feeling ashamed of it. I am on a better path because of Jeff and in a few months I will post a transformation photo of me to prove it. Here's a little tribute, one of many to come, for this amazing gentleman!

We started…read morein November 2014 with rehab style 30 minute sessions because I had a bad injury and now I do a full 1 hour session with him weekly. It is incredible how far I have come. Not only has he helped me get stronger and more fit but my injury has improved dramatically. Seeing Tim weekly keeps me on track and focused on being healthy. Tim is well educated, positive, kind, understanding, supportive and very reliable. He pushes me to work hard during my workouts and ensures that I am doing the exercises in the right way so I do not hurt myself. I would 100% recommend Tim to anyone looking for a great trainer who truly cares about your health and well being.

It's been 7 months since Peter S and I decided it was time to get our butts into a shape that…read moredidn't look like a donut. And so, after agreeing that we were too full of excuses to ever get off our own butts and workout, and that we "hated" the gym too much to subject ourselves to one, I called up Cord Reisdorf, the founder of Peak. After a quite in depth consultation -- which impressed me because it really made us think about why we wanted to get into shape, and helped us clarify our fitness goals -- we were assigned to a fitness evaluation. (I much appreciated the no judgement on where we starting from. Thank you Chris!) We were then scheduled into a series of sessions with a couple of different trainers. And now, 7 months later, I'm drinking protein shakes (Vega anyone?), waking up earlier, looking forward to our workout days, and surprising myself with the amount of energy I have to give'r at work, and at life.... plus the shoulder and quad definition is a welcome bonus. While it is a pricy (not Peak, just personal trainers in general), I have also come to see it as an essential service in the maintenance and upkeep of me. They tell us what to do, when to do it, how to do it, setting up each session based on where we're at, challenging us and motivating us to keep going. We don't have to think about it. We just have to do the work. The high fives and gold stars alone are worth it. Especially early in the morning. And while there have been moments of pure hate -- usually involving a really heavy weight or a chin up, and pure exhaustion -- 6am and I will never be on friendly terms, I can't even consider going back to doing nothing, to making up excuses to not do something, or to working out on my own. To Cord, Nesh, and especially our Monday morning trainer, Martin - you guys seriously rock!

Toning and strengthening my body while I age while maintaining flexibility and good posture is my main goal. Enjoying every minute of it is a bonus.
