Rise Fitness Collective

Fantastic experience: I was resistant to CrossFit style fitness for a number of reasons, one being that it could feel heavily masculine/macho and unwelcoming of diversity, another being the expense. It is also a bit intimidating. But I am SO glad that I did not allow my head/anxieties to prevent me from trying! This is exactly what I need right now in my life, after years of independent fitness, especially since moving to the area recently. I did try another CrossFit before this one, and it turned me off, but after I tried this one I felt the fit. Craig and Carrie are so incredible and welcoming, as are the members. Never have I felt that I didn’t belong or was unsupported in my transition into the space. It’s family oriented, open to diverse people, and warm. The value kindness and community and it is noticeable. The instruction from the coaches is so clear and descriptive, with perfect demonstrations of the movements (which helps as I’m so visual!) Questions are always possible and correction and feedback on movements is gentle and supportive. I will be signing up for a longer term, as it is definitely worth it. I’ve gone years paying very little or nothing for my fitness/weights, so this is a steep curve, yet it’s acceptable given what I have stated above. Give this CrossFit gym a try, and since they offer a free 2 week trial (amazing!) you’ve got nothing to lose, except those love handles. Thanks Craig and Carrie’s et al!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of dropping in to 2 classes at Rise while I was visiting family. Carrie and Craig are incredibly welcoming, as was everyone else at the gym! I left feeling uplifted, motivated and strong and I can't wait to return :)

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout and meet amazing people. Everyone from the Rose team is very open and welcoming. Totally recommend it as I know CrossFit box can be a bit intermediating, this one is not one of those.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Everyone is soo welcoming and supportive! Great classes! I haven’t worked out in ages and was hesitant in joining but they provided me a free trial! I signed up before it ended! Instructors have been helping so much! I can’t wait to keep going!!

Fantastic experience: I was nervous about trying CrossFit for the first time but after my first class, I loved it! Carrie and Craig are so encouraging and pushing me to try my best. It has been so cool to see over the last few months how strong I have become. I am able to lift weight higher than I ever could have imagined! Thank you for creating a space for people to workout in a judgement free zone. I love being apart of the Rise Family!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place and community. As a university level athlete I generally always had an injury to work around and all of the coaches were always incredibly accommodating. A huge part of my recent athletic success as I've grown significantly stronger since starting at Rise. Can't wait to get back at it once I'm back home.

Fantastic experience: Although I was only visiting Vancouver for a couple of weeks, I received a warm welcome at Rise Fitness Collective and always felt totally comfortable in the gym. The members as well as the coaches are very friendly and helpful. The coaching is amazing and the coaches take time for each member. Also, the programming is varied and suitable for members of any level. I enjoyed the motivating, yet pleasant atmosphere during the classes. I would definitely recommend Rise Fitness Collective! Thank you Carrie, Noelynne, Craig and John for the all the amazing classes I‘ve been to!
