Lower risk of death from any cause
That's what research links to about an hour of strength training a week. Start with one or two sessions, build the habit, and we'll take it from there. No burpees required.

My experience at Rise Strength, specifically being trained by Henry, transformed my relationship to strength training. Henry is an absolute pro at identifying each client's needs and creating custom programs to help them meet their individual goals. Working with Henry is the first time I have stuck with a strength-training routine consistently. His expertise and gentle, light-hearted demeanor create an effective, enjoyable training experience that makes you want to keep showing up for yourself.
His programs are backed by science and tailored to my needs, not just fads or recycled generic programs.

Rise is exactly the kind of gym I was looking for. Strength focused with every type of equipment I could need and more. It’s always clean and organized. I appreciate that the culture is very accepting and you’ll see a broad diversity of people working out.
Training with Henry has been the best part of my experience at Rise. I appreciate that his programs are backed by science and tailored to my needs, not just fads or recycled generic programs. Henry emphasizes function in a unique way — translating movements in the gym to what I need to be strong and healthy in my daily life. When things changed in my health, he easily adapted and helped me emphasize what I needed to stay healthy while also achieving my fitness goals. He redirected me and helped me adjust my goals to be more aligned with what I needed (and not what I thought I needed!). He’s easy to work with, communicates very well and makes me feel very comfortable with new movements or concepts. I highly recommend Henry and Rise Strength!
I moved to NYC a few months ago and I can confidently say that every gym I've tried since then has been a downgrade!

This is by far the best gym that I've been to!!! I moved to NYC a few months ago and I can confidently say that every gym I've tried since then has been a downgrade! Rise Strength is everything a lifter could want — bright beautiful space that you feel good in (with plants everywhere), a nice warm up area, excellent machines that are extremely high quality and well maintained. They have all the equipment you might need, including small accessories that you wouldn't find available at a commercial gym. What is shocking is that I didn't have to wait for a machine I needed even once since I've been at the gym! Imagine that!
Additionally, if you are looking for a personal trainer and a plan, they have incredible staff that get to know you and tailor a specific plan for you, preparing you to one day be able to do it all on your own. The owner Henry is kind and welcoming and made me feel like I was instantly a part of the family.
If this gym opened up in my new neighborhood in NYC, it would be a dream come true. But for now I'll just have to be happy with going every time I come back to visit Providence. I promise you it is worth every penny! You can also get a day pass to check them out and see what I'm talking about. Trust, it will enhance your whole fitness journey. Enjoy!
Clear prices. No surprises.

Good to know
I've never lifted before. Is Rise for me?
Yes. We welcome every experience level. Your program starts from where you are today, and we recommend one-on-one training if you have less than a year of structured strength training.
I'm dealing with an injury. Can I still train?
Often, yes. Henry is a licensed manual therapist and works with people coming straight out of physical therapy. The evaluation covers your health and injury history so your program is built around it.
What happens at the evaluation?
It's a one-hour, in-person session for $100. We assess how you move, go over your health history and goals, and show you around the gym. Package purchase and scheduling happen after the evaluation.
One-on-one or semi-private?
One-on-one is you and a coach, and it's what we recommend if you're newer to strength training. Semi-private is a group of up to 5 at scheduled times, each person on their own program, at about half the price per session.
How long do I commit for?
Training packages run in 4-week blocks with a 2-month minimum. Your program is rewritten every 4 weeks.
Start where you are.
Book a one-hour evaluation. We'll assess how you move, learn your goals and history, and show you what your program will look like.
