I reached out to Rise Fitness and was immediately impressed by their welcoming attitude and hospitable nature.I was visiting the area for only a few weeks, and Paola and her team were easy to work with. As a military servicemember, I love the style and atmosphere Paola has built in her gym. The other patrons are willing to help spot weight or show you where a specific piece of equipment is located. It feels like a community instead of a gym.The gym is accessed via a fob. The gym has all equipment needed for anyone who wants to work on any muscle groups or conditioning drills.If I lived in the area, I would 100% become a member of their gym. Thank you Paola and your team for their support while I was visiting.

Best gym hands down! The owner Paola is literally God sent. I train with Paola two times a week and also follow her meal plan recommendations. I can already tell a major difference in my body. I love Paola and this gym.

I first joined Rise because I like supporting small businesses and I liked what they stood for. I was a member there for over a year. When the Covid outbreak occurred, I told Paola that I wanted to discontinue my membership and she said I had to put in a 30 day notice which I did. Then after the 30 days and I fulfilled my contract, the payments kept coming out for the next four months. I didn’t think it was a big deal because they act like a business that has integrity but I realized that wasn’t the case when they refused to give me a full refund. If you go to this gym I would pay in full and not give them your account information. Also know that you will be treated very differently while you’re a client versus when you are not anymore. Very disappointing.

I have been involved in exercise and fitness al of my adult life and have had a chance to work with several different trainers. Paola is the best I have worked with. My workouts are targeted and focused and I have gotten the best results that I have ever had. And I’m older than the last few times I worked with a trainer. I love all of the equipment options and the 24/7 access!

This business is absolutely unprofessional. Courtney is very unprofessional and doesn’t seem to care about her PAYING members concerns nor their well being. There are particular members who are apart of this gym who are allowed to not follow the gyms rules and expectations by yelling at members to get off their platform as well as blares the music, so loud you can hear the music over your headset. Courtney and the other owner disregarded my concerns which is now causing me to cancel my membership. When signing the contract they misled me into trying to pay them more than what was stated. Please find another gym if you look into this one. I’ve been to many gyms due to traveling and I've never felt so disappointed, embarrassed, and down right disturbed by how this gym treats their members.Update: All of my concerns are accurate and truthful. I'm sorry you're not being honest with how you run your business. Furthermore, a "safe space" shouldn't have bullying from their employees or other members. Just because I review your gym on a different name and account doesn't make my information invalid. I hope the next time a member comes to you with concerns you take them in consideration instead of accusing them of not being honest. Thank you!

I recently began training with the Rise owner, Paola. She is incredible! This woman will do anything and everything for her clients. She pushes me past my own mental blocks and is showing me what I’m truly capable of.Rise is one of the most unique and well equipped gyms that I have ever seen. Super excited to continue rising with Paola!

Paola is amazing! During the pandemic I came to her with an idea for a PE class for kids who were learning remotely. She took the idea and ran with it and renewed my daughter’s passion for physical activity and hitting her goals. She helped her with cheer jumps, strengthening the muscles she knew she would need for them and so much more. Paola truly cares about her clients and their families. All staff I have encountered are extremely professional and passionate about helping their clients achieve their goals. Rise is a very inclusive gym for any age, gender or fitness level. Thank you for bringing such a great gym to small town Monroe!

This gym is absolutely incredible. Everything you could ask for in a gym! Paola, the owner is a phenomenal personal trainer who is an Olympia competitor! She genuinely cares about her gym and equally cares about the people who enter it. She provides personalized workouts and meal plans that are well thought out. You will definitely see results.Even if you’re just looking for a great home gym, this is where you want to be. The atmosphere and the people are unmatched!

I have been a member of Rise Above The Ashes Fitness for 2.5 years and it has truly changed my life. I have never felt like anything other than another membership fee until I joined Rise. Paola, the owner and trainer, is the most caring, compassionate person I have had the pleasure of meeting and I am SO thankful that I have a gym to call HOME. She started as my trainer and is now family. My kids have always been welcomed, celebrated, and made to feel like a part of the Rise family as well. Rise is more than just another gym. I am stronger physically and mentally, because of Paola, the other trainers, and my fellow members.

Rise Fitness is awesome! I started training with Paola January 2021. My husband gifted a personal trainer to me for Christmas and I never stopped! She has motivated me, help me reach my goals, coached me, been there to listen to my fears, concerns, vent with my personal problems. She is more then a personal trainer, she becomes your best friend who gives you killer work outs! You can take her on the go and her business model is a great set up! The gym is awesome too it has everything for you to meet your goal and challenge your limits. I started 2-3 days a week working out to 5-6! I live about 30 min away from the gym but it is worth the drive to get a great workout in. I was one to hate working out, but Paola has taught me to love it, crave it, and miss it if I miss a day. I have learned to love myself and focus on myself thanks to Rise! We are making new goals and continuing our journey together.

This gym is my safe place, where I start each day, where I connect with others on their fitness journeys. The training is exceptional and tailored to your fitness level. My teens have excelled in their sports with the sports training they have received at Rise. The environment is clean and friendly and I love that it is veteran owned. 10/10 recommend!

I’ve been going to Rise for over a year now, the owner Paola knows how to run a gym. The atmosphere and culture she fosters is like no other gym in the area. It feels as though you are a part of a family as she cares for each member and when she’s in town tries to get to know everyone and uplift others.There is plenty of equipment and some equipment that most gyms don’t have. I highly recommend this gym to anyone!!
