CrossFit Rise

I had been working out at Lifetime and XSport for the better part of 10 years, and was getting bored with the same cardio and weightlifting routine. While I tried to change it up with boxing and yoga, nothing was really satisfying my interest.I was hesitant walking into Crossfit Rise, but after talking with my cousin who had been doing Crossfit, even after having two vertebrae fused, I figured I couldn’t use a couple of knee surgeries as an excuse, so I gave it a chance. The week long intro course with Brian got me interested, but it took a Saturday morning with Coach Tristan encouraging me to pick up the 10# slamball when I thought I was dying after 6 reps, to get me hooked.Rise offers a huge facility, with excellent equipment, classes, and AMAZING coaches. The coaches care about you, your form and your health, not about how fast or how much you can lift. On top of that, you have access to a USA Weightlifting coach, an in-house chiropractor who understands its not just about "cracking" you, and an in-house massage therapist.Above everything, is the community at Crossfit Rise. Everyone supports each other, whether its your first day or if your in your 6th year at Rise. Rise not only builds your physical strength, but also your confidence!

I have been Crossfitting for almost 6 years now and have been a member at Crossfit Rise for about 18 months. It is full of great people, great coaches and lots of great equipment. I could not more highly recommend a Crossfit gym for anybody wanting to try Crossfit or for a seasoned veteran looking for a great place to train.

Rise can be intimidating when you first walk in just based on size of the box and amount of people you see working out but that intimidation factor goes right out the door as you are greeted by coaches and other athletes with a smile almost immediately upon entering. Between the class structure, coaches and nutritionist your getting Crossfit in a way that most other boxes cant compete with. I dabbled in Crossfit back in 2014 and there was never any doubt, when I decided it was time to get back in shape again, that i was going to come back to Rise. It was an amazing place back in 2014 and they have only gotten better over the years. Cant say enough good things about my experience at Crossfit Rise.

I used to be a member at lifetime for two years but was never motivated to actually go and exercise because they didnt seem to care about my workout at all. The first time I want to crossfit rise I was welcomed and immediately felt like I was a part of a caring community. Justin was (and still is) super nice and made sure that I was part of Rise. Jessica answered my endless amount of questions without any trouble, and I got hooked after my first WOD. The team and members there are so amazing and helpful and I wouldn't have ever enjoyed my experience there without them. If you ever want to get fit and healthy, this is the place to go.

I have been at Crossfit Rise for just over a year now and it has changed my life for the better! I know it's such a cliché thing to say, but it's true. The coaches are fantastic and they pay close attention to everyone’s form to prevent injury. When I started, I scaled everything in the Fitness (i.e. beginners) classes and I was using bands to do pull-ups; fast-forward a year later and I’m doing many things at RX in the Performance classes (not great, but it’s a work in progress) and have dumped the bands when doing pull-ups. The camaraderie, the coaches, and the friendly atmosphere will encourage you to keep coming. For someone who has hated working out his entire life, it was fairly easy to get hooked!

I started working training at CrossFit Rise back in November and was super skeptical because beforehand I had almost got conned into signing up with a personal training at a crappy gym. Luckily I was able to cancel it in time and was fortunate enough to find this place. There isn't a single bad comment I can give because everything from the instructors to the workouts to the overall atmosphere is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Within the 5 months I've been going, I can already see my endurance increasing and my body getting leaner! I'm honestly speechless at how great the instructors are and how friendly EVERYONE is. Many go out of their way to make sure you feel welcome and supported and that kind of atmosphere really helps, especially when trying something new. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend anyone considering doing CrossFit to start here because not only do they know what they're talking about and doing, they genuinely care and want to see you succeed which is more than most can say for most organizations and gyms. 20/5 Stars!!! ⭐️

When we arrived at Rise about a year ago, my wife and I were out of shape and living an unhealthy lifestyle. The excellent coaches at Rise, especially Justin, has helped us improve our strength, fitness, and health one day at a time, at our level, at our pace. Strong focus on proper form, techniques, and genuinely care about our overall fitness progress. Great facilities, community, and people at Rise!

Crossfit rise is not just a gym, it's become my second home. You go in for a workout and leave with new friends, higher self esteem, and a great attitude. The coaches at Rise are phenomenal and take the time to correct your form & technique and push you to your potential through the workouts. There's no better crossfit gym or group of people in the northwest suburbs!

You’ve tried the rest, now get fit with the best!!! We originally checked out and joined CF Rise because it was super close to our work in Rolling Meadows. Since then, our office has moved, but we still drive all the way past our home just to stay at Rise, when there are many other closer boxes in the area. Give it a try and you wont regret it. Rise has literally become our second home. Great owners, great coaches, great friends, great facility, great programming, great great great!

Great coaching and great environment! Everyone is personable and welcoming never feel left out. I always leave learning something new and more motivated than when I walked in.
