"I cannot recommend enough their HIIT classes. I attended classes with Brenda, and after three classes I can see a pretty significant difference of how I look and feel, which I cannot achieve after almost a year of regular yoga classes. Incredible community, and Brenda is extremely knowledgeable teacher/trainer who tries to make every class a fun, but still challenging for her students. I heard that gym has added more HIIT classes during the day and in the evenings, so if you waited on the sign to try - this is your sign."

"These people are scum bags. I had been a regular customer of Aleta at Rise. I had scheduled a massage, but on the day of, I woke up with a fever. When I tried to call and reschedule, they said they’d could do that but would need to still charge me for the cancellation. No class, stay away!!!"

"Really great gym. Have to take a look for yourself. From the outside it looks a bit small but once you get a tour of it, it's really big. They have about 5 squat racks, a good amount of machines. The staff is very friendly and for the most part people who go to this gym have really good etiquette. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a gym."

"Took instructor Aaron's Wednesday 6am bootcamp today. It was intense, but really felt the burn and worth it. Highly recommend it for everyone and anyone who wants to lose weight, tone up their body or just have a good workout with a knowledgeable instructor. All of his exercises were suitable for all fitness levels and never sweated or was challenged so much in a group class before. Thank you so much! Counting days until next Wednesday 6am to take it again! ‍"

"Small but they offer a lot and have great week day hours that make it possible to fit in a workout on almost anyone's schedule. They also have great staff and offer therapeutic services like massage, chiropractic, and more nicely located to a few tea and coffee spots too"
