RISE Fitness & Kickboxing

Cole’s classes are always challenging in the best way! He makes sure you build strength with great form. His 5:30 am class is a great way to start the day!

Always a fun class

Cole is an incredible trainer! Makes workout fun, time flies!!!

I can’t imagine a better fitness trainer than Cole. He’s professional, and caring, and gives each person in his classes the time and focus as though it’s a one on one session-without taking away from the rest of the class. His workouts are tough and creative-he pushes, but respects each individuals limitations. He is welcoming to newcomers, and makes each person feel comfortable right away. He is one of the reasons why Rise Fitness is such a terrific gym!

Rise has a great atmosphere. The equipment is continually being updated. A very down to earth gym but focused on the client's goals.

Always an amazing workout 🏋️‍♂️! Never the same one either - workouts are challenging but encouraging - and always a positive vibe! And his attention to form is so appreciated to keep us all in shape, but safely! 🙌🏻

Cole will push you to your limits and help guide you during the class, even recommend weight increases to help challenge you during the workout. Definitely passionate about fitness and his dedication to ensuring you have the best experience.

Great class!! Great coaching fun atmosphere

Great workout today with Ben! Loved the structure and the energy you brought. Feeling stronger every week — thank you!

Ben helped/is helping me so much that even after a huge abdominal surgery, my strength is the highest it’s ever been, and my cardio fitness is coming back strong as well.

I love the format of class. Always helping with making sure your movements are correct. I really enjoy Hayden's class

Ben’s combos are the best! Love the flow of his class and the advice he gives throughout. Thank you!

I enjoyed mckenzie she makes the class fun and motivates us to not give up! She gives visuals when we need to do the exercises.

Cole is a great coach who always pushes you just the right amount. This is exactly the kind of coach I want.

Ben consistently leads a challenging workout. Just when I think I'm already working hard, he pushes us just a bit further in a way I would never do in a solo at-home workout.

My adult daughter and I had a great workout as we always do! We’ve been members for over 2 years and continue to be impressed by Ben and his knowledgeable and friendly staff. We never feel like strangers here!

Cole is an excellent coach. Classes are always varied and always very challenging! He keeps things interesting and is very encouraging! Cheers

Appreciate Cole helping us with our form & challenging us to push ourselves.

Wolf is fantastic in how he mixes up the routine! Thanks for another great workout.

Wolf is great! He makes us laugh and is always motivating. I look forward to class.

Very friendly and not intimidating for a first lesson! He made things easy to understand.

Great! Very challenging but also very welcoming coach.

Cole is always so helpful. I’m over 50 and just started working out regularly in the last couple of years. He reminds me when my form needs correcting and I appreciate him noticing that and telling me how to correct it. He also pushes me to lift a little heavier and gives me confidence while strength training.

Cole is fabulous!

Great class overall. A little hard to hear the instructions, but it was a great program

Kevin was welcoming; I did not feel self conscious about being a first timer. He explained the basic kickboxing moves and form well.

Ben has been consistently great. He really knows my limitations and pushes me just enough for steady progress and incremental improvement. It’s been a game changer for me.

Ben is always fantastic - he modified everything to match my needs.

Very supportive and encouraging

Great class!

Me and my friends went to use wrestling Matt 10/10 experience staff was super nice

Josh was excellent as always. Provided specific feedback on technique, made sure I was getting the most out of each rep.

Cole was great. Very approachable and gave clear directions.

Awesome class today! Love taking class with Wolf, challenging workout yet fun! Great personality & enjoy talking with him as well. Thanks brother! 🙏

Always a great workout!

Challenging, but in a good way!

For Josh’s class, Loved the workout, great music too

Always a high energy class and Wolf and classmates have a supportive attitude. Josh helped me with buying a shirt (forgot mine) to get ready for class. Wolf has the same very diverse taste in music as I do which is always fun to box to! Thanks all!

First workout back in many months and it was a good one! I'm dead, my body hates me, but it was fantastic! And Cole was very helpful in guiding and encouraging

A mix of weights, boxing, circuits and great music, Wolf’s classes are always fun.

I enjoy Hayden’s classes. Great instructor with a cool vibe. It would be nice if he’d vary the routines a bit. His classes are a great mix of cardio, strength and bag work but the sequencing and the specific exercises are pretty much the same from week to week.

Love Hayden’s class! A perfect balance of predictable routine and new challenges. I’m still pretty new and I’ve missed a few weeks of classes, but I jumped back in today feeling like I was picking it right back up. He breaks down the motions and patterns in a very clear way for a beginner, but also builds up the intensity that leaves everyone struggling. Worth every second!

Awesome class! Very challenging. Loved the amount of instruction and assistance.

Ben iS always a wonderful class leader - challlenging yet doable.

Kevin did an awesome job! It was my first time back to the gym in awhile and he was very helpful. Thanks!

The variety of exercises kept the class engaging.

Hayden is an incredible kickboxing instructor! He goes beyond just giving us a great workout—he really focuses on proper form and technique, which I truly appreciate. His classes are challenging, motivating, and fun. You can tell he cares about his students improving and doing things the right way. Highly recommend training with him if you want to level up your skills and fitness!

Today was my first Fight Fit class and my first time at Rise. Kevin showed me around the gym and took the time to explain the basics of the class with me. As a veteran who is not new to exercise, I can say this may have been the best workout of my life. It was a full body workout, it was challenging, and it sent my endorphins through the roof. I can’t wait to return to Rise for another Fight Fit class. Kudos to Kevin for proving a kickbutt workout.

It was great — he pushed us to our limits, helped when I had questions, and was encouraging! Excited for the next one.

Ben is an awesome coach. He’s constantly challenging us with new exercises and distinct combos. He pushes us to the max and provides positive support and brings the energy throughout.

Great class!

The class was challenging but fun.

Full of energy and pushed me through out the session. Makes me better everytime we meet.

Excellent class today.

The class was great, the coach is super patient!

Great workout, my arms were noodles by the end

I don’t wake up willingly at 4:30 am for anything. Cole’s class is the exception. How he manages to infuse such energy and community feel in his classes so early in the morning is a mystery. The workout programming is on point. They are crafted with progression in mind so you can measure yours. Cole offers form corrections that ensure gains without injury. My favorite is the kettle bells that he incorporates in the conditioning and bootcamp workouts. It’s hard to find a KB certified instructor in the greater Annapolis area and especially such a knowledgeable one!

Great class and great coach! Cole had an awesome and encouraging attitude and provided helpful modifications! Highly recommend this gym

Fun! Exciting

Josh is a wonderful teacher and I love his

Class was upbeat and therapeutic, since having missed a few weeks, getting back to the Saturday morning workout was highly satisfying.

It was hard in the BEST kind of way! Great class

I love the challenge of these classes and feel good about the workout I get. I appreciate Cole’s attention to form and help with corrections!

Wolf is a great instructor and he delivers an excellent workout.

Cole’s strength and conditioning class is always a perfect mix of fun and challenging. He’s a pro at tweaking workouts to work around injuries!

Great! Loved the workout

Always an excellent team and a very good routine to start the day

Very enthusiastic, great teacher, was really able to show how to do exercises properly!!

Cole’s class rules!

Hayden is the most knowledgeable fitness coach I have ever worked with. He truly cares about your specific fitness program, and will tailor your workout to your needs and abilities. I ruptured my hamstring last summer and I give Hayden all of the credit for my rehabilitation. He's the best!

Amazing instructor 😻

He’s awesome- always a great, challenging class - he mixes things up so you don’t get bored !

It was a great class! I appreciated that I was able to particiapate but still go at my own pace. Wolf is friendly and approachable.

Wolf is awesome!

Everything good

Very nice class

Class was awesome, I really enjoyed my time there. Can't wait for the next one. Bring wraps!

She’s the best!!

Erin was amazing tonight as always!

Challenging and fun like always ☺️

Erin ran a great class. She allowed for modifications which I liked. I could add or take away to my workout. This is all great because some days my body feels great and others I’m dealing with minor injury or fatigue. It’s welcoming vibes to come it and get a class in rather than not because the whole class has to be one way and one intensity.

My 12 year old daughter has been doing the KidFit program with Ben and Erin for a few months. We have been on a long search to find a physical activity that she enjoys. This week I was sharing with her how much I like our weekly RISE routine. “Yeah, it’s the first ‘sport’ I actually like.” Ben and Erin provide such a great balance and mix of activities that are fun, and build strength, stamina, coordination, and new skills. The KidFit group has a wide range of ages, and even though my daughter is on the older end, I think she really appreciates the sense of community, inclusivity, and joyful vibes of the group. I got the open gym membership and have been running/walking on the hamster wheel during my daughter’s classes—I’m feeling stronger too. Though I’ve never considered myself “a gym person,” I’m so grateful that we found RISE and that movement is a regular part of our lives again.

Kevin was super friendly and welcoming! Great workout! Kicked my butt for sure! Looking forward to more classes!

Great workout, great energy!

Erin has always been excellent! I love her classes!

Exactly what I was looking for on a Saturday morning! Erin was an energetic (just the right amount of energy) instructor and easy to follow. Loved it. I burned 300 cal and feel great 😊

Hayden is a well educated trainer with experience helping somenof us older fellers COMPETE!! He is great with all aspects of this body Re-creation. All efforts designed to safely get our old ass bidies back to respectability without injuries!!!

Ben Biondi is a great teacher and motivator as well as a great friend that is why I will climb out of my bed at 4:30am for him to kick my butt and it is well worth it.

Wolf is motivating and keeps you pushing yourself even when you’re ready to give up. Highly suggest taking this class if you’re looking for a change physically but also mentally.

Erin was friendly, knowledgeable and had a great energy level!

Erin is the absolute best! Such a great class everytime!

Great! My daughter Norah is 7 and loved the kids class!! He told me what she needed to work on and I've incorporated that at home when I remember! ( squats! ) plus I noticed her form with ducking from punches while practicing boxing with her dad! We look forward to coming back!

I recently returned to town from Texas and couldn’t wait to attend Erin’s workout class again! Erin is simply the best—her energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to helping everyone reach their fitness goals are unmatched. She creates such a welcoming and supportive environment that makes you want to push yourself harder. Her workouts are always challenging but fun, and she offers modifications to ensure everyone feels included, no matter their fitness level. It was so refreshing to be back in her class, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a top-notch workout experience. Thank you, Erin, for always delivering excellence & being an Earth Angel 🫂 We appreciate you!!!

Awesome class. 👌

Love the structure of Wolf’s class! It’s a good mix of strength training and boxing and I like that we always end with some ab work.

The very best a trainer can be!!!I just love her style and enthusiasm..Totally helped me out..She is the best!!!

Thanks Hayden for taking the time to help me work on my form and explain things throughout the session.

Wolf’s classes are a lot of fun, and a lot of sweating! Everyday is something different and the workouts are very complete.

Great overall workout (upper/lower body); great music playlist.

Always a great class and coach

Erin is great at explaining exercises and meeting you at your ability level. Her energy gets our class ready to go, even at 530am!

Erin was great as I was a first timer to the class. She made sure I understood what was going on and was comfortable!

Cole was very patient as we are beginners - very knowledgeable & good at explaining techniques!

Hayden is an awesome instructor!! I thoroughly enjoyed his class!

Such an amazing class every time!

Great class! Safe, very effective and fun...!! Erin is great...

Holy geez! Haven’t worked that non stop in a minute and it felt great! Really enjoyed the ability to work at own speed with as much intensity as desired! Definitely a work as hard as you want to improve yourself without any shame

First class at the gym and Hayden made me feel welcome and comfortable! Will be back for another.

The text said I was supposed to review Paul, but I saw Wolf today. Whatever. They both get 5 stars. Both are fun and friendly, and meet me at my fitness level. Both are helpful when I have questions. Paul turns off the lights so the room has a swanky club feel. He gets an extra bonus point for that. Wolf lets me punch him, and doesn’t care that I almost hit him in the face. So he gets two extra points.

Today was my first class at Rise and I was super impressed. The class was well structured, and the instructor (Cole) was knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. The atmosphere was positive and energetic, and the community was supportive. Would definitely recommend!

Great class with great energy!

Cole’s classes are always fun and challenging and he is always super encouraging!!

Cole is a wonderful coach, he cares about his clients and always challenges us to strive for more. He pays attention to modifications if needed and it’s always a great way to start the day with his classes

Very helpful! Even met with me before and after class to talk about A recent problem I’ve been having. Loved class great mixture.

Fantastic class! I appreciated the calisthenics - and the push ups! Whenever Ive been away from working out for a while I always feel those the most, especially after Ive let myself out of a workout routine for too long (no excuses lol) but also notice the best results quickly when I get back into being consistent with those basics! The combos were great too! Perfectly timed, not too complicated, and built on each other. Mixed variety of speed punching and kicking drills, utilizing the basics! I love it! No matter experience level, those are the drills to perfect. I love to zone out and find a rhythm when I’m boxing so doing just those basics and building on the with power or speed, really works the technique and the fast twitch muscles! You also opened opportunity to kicks so each person a different levels could take something from it. Great balance of class dynamics between the calisthenics and the boxing! Music was on point too! Good mix, kept me amped up and helpful to have rhythms to keep beat with your punches! ( thats a personal thing I do, you DEF don’t have try to tailor songs to punching drills) but generally decent paced worked out songs have a beat that can “challenge” you to stay on pace with your punching . You had those! So thank you🙏 All that to say keep doing what your doing it! It’s a great class, and hope you keep doing more of what’s working 👍

Friendly fun class, I’m wiped 😅

Hayden Fisher is the best! Very warm, friendly, caring person. He explained everything to me and made me feel comfortable as soon as I met him. The class today was awesome. I was able to follow it and complete the class with his gentle guidance and tone. Hayden is a professional and I will gladly recommend him to my friends. I was extremely happy with his class and look forward to the next. Thank you Hayden! BTW Great customer service as soon as you walk into the door; friendly staff

Great! Thanks for spotting me!

Class was great! Wolf was great! Kicked my butt!

Erin was awesome! This was my first class and it was fantastic

I loved your class. In particular I liked the focus on punch and kick sequences and the transitions. It was perfectly paced with sufficient time to recover I am figuring out my new schedule and really want to fit it into my week. You’re awesome

Great! Need louder music tho!

Coach Josh always keeps it interesting!

Seamus is great - he spends time with anyone needing extra attention, all the while keeping his eyes on all is to make sure we are working correctly and having a good time. I love this gym and plan to get better and do more.

Erin is the BEST!! 👸🏼💪🏽

Wonderful coach! Very encouraging and helpful 😊

If you want results, come to this class!!! Ben will take you to the next level of your fitness journey.

He is patient and takes time to explain technique and form. Definitely I a good workout all round.

TRX class was awesome ! This was my first class and Ben was great at instructing and the class was extremely challenging!

Hayden took time to explain good form and gave feedback. The class was well planned and really enjoyable while getting a tough workout. Great job!

Erin is a mastermind when it comes to fitness classes. She produces a fun but challenging class that leaves you feeling great. I highly recommend Erin, and her energetic & infectious personality adds to the whole experience. Thanks 👊

It was fun! Cole was very helpful and a great coach.

Wolf is a phenomenal trainer, he has the best combos. His noon workouts are a great mix of bag work and calisthenics.

Just complete the “Murph” challenge on Memorial day. Rise events are the best and love that they include family of members. Always leave with a feeling of community. It’s awesome to collectively suffer with each other!

Super welcoming and provided great modifications for a first timer!

Great Class Thank you very much

I enjoy Paul’s class. I appreciate that he structures the class for maximum on-bag training. While I appreciate the occasional HIIT burner, the core of what I seek from a Rise workout is the fight-related activity. As such Paul’s classes are my favorite among all the fine Rise instructors.

Cole continues to set up killer workouts that leave me energized for the day ahead!! 100/10 recommend. :)

Wolf is one of the best trainers ever! If you’re looking to be pushed beyond what you think your body can handle AND see concrete results AND feel incredible, work out with Wolf! He’s amazing!

Ben's workout outside are always challenging and he knows his stuff. Always feel good after

For my first time.he was great.

Great workout! Also cute kids were bonus entertainment

Erin always does great. Classes well thought out and planned. She’s always paying close attention to form, and correcting slight issues or problems. Enjoy working out with her. And, love the 5.30am!

Amazing

She hates us

Ben’s classes are the best! He keeps a great mix so things stay interesting. He explains proper form and offers corrections without making you lose confidence. His workouts are hard but I look forward to them.

It was my first kickboxing class! Cole helped me feel comfortable by letting me know what to expect before class & gave me feedback throughout which built my confidence!

Even tho I suck at AMRAPs, this class was a great workout!

Very patient and kind! Made me feel extremely comfortable

Great work out and very positive energy

It was great challenging and also supported by Seamus!

Great class!

Wolf was extremely helpful, badass & a great couch! He motivates you and does a great job not over pushing yourself. Absolutely loved the atmosphere. Looking forward to returning

Great clinic so glad I joined I hope to attend classes after it’s over. Coaches are fun upbeat encouraging.

Workout was great but the dry wall could use some work 🤣

Great!

Seamus did amazing tonight I have never felt more accomplished and proud of myself!!! What a great coach!

Class was great. I appreciate how the work out was adjusted during the class to fit the time we had left.

Class was awesome but Erin’s classes are always great 😀

Paul always runs a 10/10 class and great music!!

All of the instructors challenge and push us to be better in a positive environment.

The class was great, it definitely challenged you to push yourself and I got a nice workout in 👍

This was one killer workout. Probably the most exhausting workout I have done and I loved it. Ben is an excellent coach who pushes us to be our best!

Killer class per usual. If you’re ooking to get stronger while building your VO2 and testing your limits, this is a great class to do so.
