RISE FITNESS

If you're looking for expert coaching for all of your fitness goals, RISE should be on your list of gyms to consider. Boutique style small group fitness with highly attentive coaching is one thing, but to get a solid strength and endurance program that actually makes sense AND makes you sweat with quantitative benchmarks taken regularly really levels up the fitness experience. You don't often find this level of expertise and finesse with programming in my experience. As a medical professional who has also led group fitness classes and done personal training back in the day, I can attest that Coach Ayo really knows his stuff and will help you get to your next level!

One of the most challenging aspects of moving from NJ to NYC was having to relinquish regular access to Rise Fitness and Ayo's premier coaching. Apart from being an amazing human being with impeccable musical taste and a gift for gab, Ayo successfully created an environment that delivers physical and spiritual empowerment on every visit. He is truly a talented coach and one of the best motivators I know, and I can't wait for him to open his next facility in my New York neighborhood. ;)

Joining Rise has been a game-changing experience, and I couldn’t be more grateful for it. I came to my first class as someone who kinda exercises, but this has been something totally different—this is training. I feel like I’m playing a team sport again in all the best ways. Thanks to Ayo, the approach at Rise is so community oriented, so fun and low pressure, that you can get in the best shape of your life simply by showing up and staying open. Ayo’s programming is smart, progressive, and varied, and his attention to detail is unreal. He’ll check and correct your form kindly (seemingly with eyes on the back of his head!). And the gym is well organized and immaculate. Can’t recommend Rise enough!

I LOVE Rise Fitness. It is truly a special gym. Not only am I getting stronger and more physically fit, but I'm also doing it in a safe, healthy way through my Rise workouts. Ayo is an excellent instructor. He is knowledgeable, informative, and, best of all, kind. So thankful I found my happy place:).

Ayo, the coach and owner of Rise fitness is Amazing. He is knowledgeable and patient. He always has time to answer questions or concerns that you may have. I love that he is always willing to modify any movements and workouts to insure safety and efficiency. Overall Rise is an Awesome experience for every fitness level and age.
