What an amazing place! The coaching staff is amazing - they were able to pinpoint and fix various discomforts and aches that I had been dealing with for a decade on our first visit and now, just one month in, I'm seeing massive improvements in my day-to-day comfort! I cannot say enough about what a fantastic environment and culture they've created, well done! More...

Paul and Dan are two of the most invested personal trainers I have ever worked with. They are invested in their clients and their community. They are not just about getting you to your desired results, but about getting the results you want in the safest way possible and that will last long after your time with them. Paul and Dan know their stuff. And if they get thrown a curve ball on something they don't know... they will learn it so they can teach it to their clients. I have worked with many personal trainers in the last 15+ years. A lot of them, all they do is push, push, push their clients without consideration of what negative effects it is doing to their body. From knee, hip and shoulder movements that will eventually cause bigger issues later. These guys know that fitness is more than what Instagram and Tik Tok show us. They teach their clients the aspects of fitness that the big box gyms do not even approach. Functional fitness! Fitness that helps with day-to-day activities or helps us be active without pain. I highly recommend Rise Above if you are looking to be challenged in your current fitness routine or looking to improve your daily functionality of life. These guys are legit. Don't Trust Lifetime, LA or XSport, they just want your money. More...

Rise Above is more than your average workout club - it is a community that cheers you on and helps keep you motivated ❤️The owners are actively engaged when you are there - they make sure you are doing every move correctly - I have gone to others clubs before, but I get up (515 am class) and look forward to my class - I love their philosophy and am excited to see my body transformation .

I joined Rise Above Fitness over a month ago and I love the result I see in me after being apart of this fitness group. The trainers are really the best their is, they will take time to illustrate all of the movements standing right there with you until you grasp the proper way of doing them. The trainers are very encouraging and will challenge you to step out of your comfort zone to achieve the best benefits of the workouts. I’ve joined many fitness clubs in my lifetime but Rise Above Fitness has proven to be the best yet. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Anyone can make a workout to make you tired and sweat a lot. Not everyone can develop custom programs that are specific to your needs and your lifestyle. That is what we are here to provide.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Consistency and longevity. Someone who has worked out for 10 years consistently will always have the best results compared to someone who has just started. But there is only one way to get 10 years of fitness under your belt, and its to start! Don't compare yourself to others, only to previous version of yourself.
What do you love most about your job?
Watching the clients' success. When they win, so do we. Achieving something they didn't even think was possible is the greatest win we can have.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Big box gyms say that they care about you. We've worked in one. They don't care about you or your goals. Just the $$$ in your wallet. We are here to change that.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are honest. We are not going to spoon feed you what you want to hear in order collect on your money. If your goal isn't realistic, we will let you know how we can restructure your goal so that it fits.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We do, but in-person will always deliver the best result. We have since expanded are serving to online training due to covid.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We have added cleaning stations around the gym and require clients to clean their equipment as they go. We only have a few people in the gym at once so social distancing is easy peasy. We also have included online training as an option for anyone who does not feel comfortable coming into our facility.
Personal Training
We offer 1 on 1 personal training services that vary in 30 or 60 minutes in length. Everything here is custom to you. Meaning, your goals require specific things, and we're here to teach you how to reach those goals.
Nutrition Coaching
Have you ever started a workout plan and failed to see results OR stopped seeing results after only a few short weeks? Chances are your nutrition isn't where it needs to be. We're here to guide you every step of the way for your unique lifestyle.
