If you feel like you don’t belong in a gym, you’re certainly not the only person who’s thought that before coming to RISE. In fact, it’s one of the concerns I’ve heard countless times over the years.

And that’s fine, because RISE isn’t a conventional gym. It’s a group personal training club. You don’t come in and have to work out what to do on your own.

What makes RISE different from a normal gym?

Every time you come in for a Session, there’s a coach there waiting for you. We’ll show you that day’s Session and help you understand how to make it work for you.

That means adapting exercises where needed to account for things like:

• Your current fitness level
• Your size and shape
• Any injuries or limitations you need to work around
• What you’re comfortable and capable of doing

You don’t need to arrive already knowing how to exercise, how to use everything or what workout you should be doing. The coaching is part of the Session.

What if I’m just not a gym person?

You don’t need to become a stereotypical “gym person” to fit in at RISE.

A lot of the people who come here have felt exactly the same way. They haven’t necessarily enjoyed conventional gyms, or they’ve felt that those environments simply weren’t for them.

So feeling that you don’t belong in a gym isn’t a reason to rule RISE out. It may actually be a good reason to see whether a coached approach feels different.

If the thought of walking into a gym and being left to get on with it is what puts you off, that’s not what happens here. You’ll have a coach there to guide you through the Session and help you adjust it to suit you.
