RIse Fitness was a fantastic and entirely unique workout experience. I have belonged to a few gyms and taken group fitness classes before, but I have never experienced a better workout. Rob's (the owner's) philosophy is that every workout should be a full body workout, so you get the most out of every single session. Thanks to the instructors' expertise, not a minute goes wasted in these high-powered sessions. This workout is challenging, but it is designed for personal improvement. In other words, people are never singled out in a humiliating fashion; we are all just pushed to do our personal best. The first time I took a performance class, it was really difficult because I was not used to that type of intensity in a workout. However, by the end of the month, I had already made vast improvements and felt a million times better. After finishing these workouts, you'll feel very accomplished! The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. They help keep the students going with positive feedback and motivation. As someone who rarely worked out before joining Rise, I can tell you that it was one of the best decisions I've made in my quest to live a healthier lifestyle! read more

I can't say enough good things about Rise. Rob, Kristen and Roy know how to push you to the limit...but the results are rewarding. I thought I had challenged myself by running marathons and such. But Rise is a different kind of workout entirely - circuit training, cardio, weights, obstacle coursing, etc. Results are guaranteed with that kind of intense workout. Also, no workout is ever the same. Each time I go, my body is doing something different so it never gets used to the routine. Each class definately provides you with a TOTAL body workout. LOVE: - Rob, Kristen and Roy's toughness but good humor. - Personal attention that you get in class without the need for a personal trainer. - Cleanliness of the place. - Simplicity of the space - no need for fancy machines and all that. - Timeliness with which we start and end our workouts. - The number of classes that are offered each day so you can go whenever, according to your schedule or convenience. - Good price for what you're getting. ;-) read more

I've been going to Rise for about a year and it has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. The classes are always different, challenging and motivating! The coaches are knowledgeable and really know how to give you a great workout. I have bad knees so some workout programs don't work too well for me, but the coaches always have an equally challenging progression to each exercise. Rob is a great motivator and not only encourages you to improve your fitness, but your over all health and well being. The environment at Rise is one of the many reasons that keeps me coming back. The gym has such a strong sense of community which makes classes fun! Members push and support each other, sometimes we even joke around during class which makes the exhaustion more bearable :) There are so many wonderful things I can say about Rise, but to keep it simple, AMAZING GYM! I've been considering moving recently and Rise actually impacts where I move, I never want to give up Rise! read more

I have been working out here doing circuit/performance training with my gf for a few weeks. So far I love it. Its been the kick in the pants I have needed to start recovering from a broken leg a few months back. The lead instructor Rob is very very nice and always encouraging. While I am still completely out of shape I am taking steps in the right direction. Every workout is different and Rob really puts a hurting on you. As somebody who has never really worked out with medicine or stability balls, a lot of these "core" exercises were pretty eye opening. But the hour always flies by and I leave feeling that much better about myself. The class times are very accommodating as well, with lots of before and after work options. Class sizes are generally 5-10 people, so you are getting dedicated instruction for your money. The price would be the one drawback, as its significantly more expensive than a gym. But at the end of the day what is more worthwhile than your health? read more

I've tried it all from Cross fit, p90x, to all kind of bootcamp classes and I must say nothing compares to Rise Fitness. It's truly a FULL body workout that pushes you to your limit so you see results. Every class is different so you never get bored and most importantly your body stays challenged without reaching a Plateau. The staff and the support of the group really motivate you and help you get the most out of your workout. Everything is done as a team and everyone gives you a high five at the end of class congratulating one another for a job well done. One of the main trainers is Rob, he's amazing because he really knows how to keep you motivated and encourages you to always do a little better, not matter what level you are in he makes sure you reach your maximum potential. Highly recommend Rise fitness to anyone who wants to see real fitness results. Massy read more

A friend told me about Rise Fitness about a year ago when I was looking for a place to exercise that was not like a regular gym. What I love is that Rob and his trainers are very motivating: they keep the exercises fresh, and the atmosphere is very supportive. Rise Fitness has a great mix of people of all ages, at all levels of fitness, which makes the workouts intense and FUN! I strongly recommend going to Rise Fitness -- what you'll find is a rewarding workout with a group of hard working & friendly fitness folks. Rob is also terrific at being inspirational. At every class he gently reminds us to keep moving and to do our best. I'm in much better shape than when I started, and I can't believe how much I look forward to going You always leave the class on a high! read more

I've been going to Rise since it opened years ago. I go to class at Rise 3 - 4 times a week and I never get bored. Every class is different and it's a full body workout. I like the fact that there is no such thing as a beginner, intermediate or advanced class. The instructor will show you how any exercise can be modified for your level of fitness. Although I've been going for years, I leave every class sweating and energized. A year or two after starting at Rise I finally had the confidence to run a half marathon-something I had always wanted to do. I ran my first half marathon at age 50 and have run 6 more since then. I am not sure I would have had the strength or confidence to run a half marathon (or 7!) if I were not working out at Rise. read more

Rob is the owner and I have taken his classes as well as personal one-on-one training sessions. The group classes are fantastic and have a great deal of variety to keep you engaged and motivated. The best group class I have taken. The one-on-one session with Rob are much better than any other trainer I have used in the past. Rob is motivated and excited to help you achieve your fitness goals and objectives. He is engaged throughout the session and keeps things fresh and interesting as well as very intense and effective. The gym is adorned with motivational quotes and all of the equipment is clean and very well kept. If you are considering starting an exercise program or are an athlete looking for a new trainer or class. Stop in and see Rob. read more

Going to Rise Fitness definitely gave me some of the best workouts I've ever done! I don't like going to regular gyms and working the machines on my own, so Rise Fitness was the way to go. Every class is different and works your entire body. We change activities rapidly during the class so there is no time to get bored. The best part about Rise Fitness is that anyone can go and get a great workout, no matter how fit/unfit they are. The classes are designed to push you to the best of your own personal abilities, so you are always challenging yourself and no one gets left behind. Rob and Roy are always encouraging and GREAT motivators, they definitely know what they are doing. I look forward to each class and I would recommend Rise to anyone! read more

I have been going to Rise Fitness for almost five years. I can honestly say I am in the BEST shape of my life and women (and men) much younger than I envy my energy and overall physical fitness! My daughter said this exact quote to me..."mom, you have a figure a 25 year old would be proud to have!". I am far from 25 years old and in fact all of my children are older than that! Rob is awesome. The atmosphere at Rise Fitness is always positive. It is as if you had a personal trainer in a group setting. I am always challenged and the rewards from consistently going to Rise are never ending. I highly recommend Rise Fitness to people of all ages who want to maximize their fitness level. It is the fountain of youth!!! read more

There is nothing I could say that would truly express how amazing Rise Fitness is. But what I can say is that Rise Fitness would not be what it is without Rob Jaroszuk. Rob is one of the most enthusiastic, caring and motivating instructors I have ever met and ever had the pleasure of being taught by. He is knowledgeable, caring and straight forward. Working out is never an easy task, but Rob makes you want to work and want to achieve your goals. My favorite quote he has said that inspires me is , "do 1% better." You can do ANYTHING 1% better and when you do, you put forth more effort and therefore increase your results just by having the courage to do 1% better and the honor to workout with Rob at Rise. read more

I joined about six months ago and average 4-5 times a week. I was in decent shape before and am in significantly better condition now. I probably put on 5lbs initially just by adding so much more muscle but the cardio I have done as part of the classes got me back to where I want to be. There are people of all ages there but they all have in common a commitment to getting the most out of their time. It's fun, the time flies by and you never leave there thinking you could have done much more -it takes a lot out of you but you feel great. Rob makes every session interesting and never lets you slack off. you should try it if you at all interested in improving your health and fitness. read more

I am so blessed to have found Rise Fitness....It is the perfect complement to any training program. Rise is like a boot camp class but sooo much better. I have been a member since 2008 and I have never taken a class that was the same as the last. Always changing, always fun, and ALWAYS challenging, Rise Fitness is the perfect way to stay in shape. The trainers work every single muscle of your body. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a beginner, this class is for you. The best bang workout for your buck in Bergen County! Find it, try it, and rise up to your full potential. Ann T. (Ridgewood, NJ) read more

Rise Fitness has been a transforming experience for me. Not only do you work out with trainers who really know their stuff, but they are amazing motivators as well. As Rise, you work out every part of your body - physically and mentally. Each class is different, so you never know what to expect, other than expecting to get your butt kicked! It's the best work out experience I've ever had and I plan to stick with their classes for a long time! read more

Want to be in the best shape of your life and have fun doing it? Rise fitness is awesome. I've tried to replicate the experience and it can't be done. Rob and staff push me hard. After I'm done cursing them out, I thank them for another great training experience. The schedule now includes kickboxing. Take it as a single class or double up training sessions for complete exhaustion. read more

I joined recently and cannot say enough good things about this place. The classes are great, different every time and fun. I can't believe how fast the 60 minute classes go by. The trainers are excellent, especially Rob. At RISE you benefit from the great energy you get from a group class with the attention and support you get from personal training. Love it! read more

Great workouts. They push you hard; there is no wasted time. They work every part of your body increasing speed, agility, endurance, strength. If you go at least twice a week (four times is ideal as far as i am concerned)- you will feel great all the time. Rob's the best. Upbeat and genuinely concerned and interested in making you healthier and stronger. read more

I will miss Rise so much while I am at college!!! It is like no other workout I have experienced and constantly challenges me. The classes have not only improved my strength but also endurance. The positive environment and intense excises always leave me feeling accomplished and make me look forward to the next class. I highly recommend Rise to all. read more

Although I am not one to go to a "class", the trainers at Rise inspire me! Every trainer pushes me to my limit, every class! I feel satisfied and push my body to the max. I have been working out my entire life, but this class is not like anything I have ever done before. Always great!!! read more
