Rise Athletics and Wellness

I have been at Rise for almost 3 years now. This is great as I have never stuck to a program for this long. The best part about Rise is that Everyone is there for their own reasons, you never feel uncomfortable or judged. When you are working out in your group you feel supported in your efforts and if you are having trouble with something they are quick to help you work through it, while still ensuring you are on track and moving forward towards whatever goals you have set for yourself.

Rise has been my favourite gym by far! The environment is encouraging and the community built inside (and outside) the wall of the gym has contributed to my total health. People of all kinds cheer each other on to hit Personal Records, push themselves, and not quit. I feel capable at Rise; I know the equipment I was so afraid of in the past, can use it properly and with proper form, and I know that the trainers are always there for a million and one questions! I can't imagine life without Rise.

Rise is an amazing place. Fully coached sessions mean you don’t have to think, you just have to show up. The coaches are super friendly and helpful, and they cater to any level of experience! I’ve been going to Rise for 4 years and I love it!

I have been at Rise for almost two years. I love everything about it, the trainers, the variety of workouts, working out with others versus working out alone at home. The trainers are very knowledgeable about diet,(eating the foods that nourish our bodies) always being able to modify exercises when necessary and always very friendly and willing to help. Rise is my happy place and I would encourage anyone that if you’re looking for something to help you mentally and physically don’t hesitate to give Rise a try.

Rise has been a huge help on my journey to better health. I love that all I have to do is show up, and there will be a great workout waiting for me there. All the coaches are really encouraging, and a ton of fun. They have all helped challenge me and encourage me. I have nothing but good things to say about this place, and these people.

Rise is the perfect fit for me. The knowledgeable and encouraging coaches are with you at every workout. Flexible schedule of classes, so you are able to attend according to your schedule. As a senior I thought workouts would be too hard for me, and at the start I struggled, but with modifications and practice, I am steadily working toward my goals.

I attended this gym in 2015 before they rebranded and went by Muscle Hut. I blew out two discs in my low back while working out with Kurtis Fox, the owner - I had to immediately leave the facility in severe pain and was never able to return. I've struggled with significant back pain since, and had back surgery in Brandon in 2019. I had 1 disc fusion and 1 disc replacement. Unfortunately, I still struggle with daily pain after surgery - I was and am a healthy individual besides this. I have heard of a dozen other people who have injured their backs at this facility under a variety of coaches. These are life altering injuries. There was no support or help in recovery from this, besides ending my payments, Kurtis never reached out. This facility has you deadlifting and squating with a bar and weight on your first or second visit with minimial instruction provided. I highly recommend you proceed with caution at this facility and ask a lot of questions about what you're program has you doing and why. Personal trainers should set you u p to succeed outside of the gym and improve your long-term quality of life. My experience was completely the opposite.Edit - Response to Rise:We communicated by email after the injury. I asked you to put my membership on hold, you responded and asked how I was doing, here was my response to you:Thanks for doing that. It is better then last week but there is still pain with sitting and overall I just feel tired from standing a long time and lifting anything. "It was you that never responded back to me after that.If you wanted to make improvments to your coaching you could have done that

I recently started going to Rise and I love it. From the moment I walked in, the staff and community were friendly and welcoming. The gym is clean and well-maintained, and the equipment is in great condition.The trainers are knowledgeable and supportive, and they provide excellent tips and guidance to improve my fitness routine. The classes offered are varied and challenging, and the instructors are motivating and fun.I have had a positive experience at this gym, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great workout and a welcoming community.

I joined Rise Athletics And Wellness 3 years ago ( when it was still Muscle Hut). I was on the stage of my life where I really want to start taking care of myself , and chose living a healthier lifestyle, but I did not know where to start.I am glad that my decision to join Rise is one of the best decisions I ever made. From nutrition coaching to working out safely, without hurting our selves..to pushing us to our limits, and knowing what our current physical limits are...all we have to do is to show up . Thank you Rise for helping me reach my healthy lifestyle goal. I am looking forward to many more years of incorporating healthy changes in my life and living a healthy life, with your help.
