Rising Sun immediately stood out as the gym in Nashville where coaches would meet me where I was and take me to the next level. On the tail end of recovering from frozen shoulder, Kyle welcomed me in with expert knowledge to test my range and strength, and offered me just the right exercises to fully heal, improve my mobility, and build strength. I noticed differences immediately. 💯
Kyle and the coaches go above and beyond to care about the whole person who walks in the door. Whether you are new to a fitness routine or an advanced athlete, Rising Sun will offer the community and challenge to commit to yourself and achieve your own goals. I can't imagine a more dedicated gym owner to supporting others' wellness. I can't recommend Rising Sun highly enough!

Thanks so much for the wonderful review Kristen. it was a pleasure to work with you. And we look forward to seeing you when you're back in Nashville!
I started at RS after my previous gym closed. The community has been extremely welcoming. This is my first experience with cross fit and so far I am enjoying it.

Thanks so much for the wonderful review Andy. We are so glad you guys joined and we hope you will be with us for years to come!
Couldn’t ask for a better gym to not only grow yourself physically, but also with a community that makes you feel at home. Knowledgeable coaches, great programming, and amazing people all around. Could not suggest more.

Thanks Connor! You took to this like a 🦆 to 🌊
Just finished a great and tough partner wod as a dropin here. To say they are super friendly and welcoming would be an understatement. On top of that, the coach coached and kept an eye on all form. Not something that happens in all CrossFit gyms.
Really recommend this place if you’re living here or just passing through

Thanks so much Paul. And thanks for the drop in. I hope you're tour with your music group is awesome and all your drop ins and experiences along the way are positive. Safe travels!
Rising Sun is a great local gym. Super welcoming community and great coaching. Chelsea has really good programming. I had an injury in 2019 and decided in 2025 to try to get back into CrossFit. I was able to gradually build back my strength and endurance to meet my goals and am really happy with the progress. The welcoming environment and programming were key.
CrossFit Rising Sun is a home for me, filled with who I would call family and friends. I moved to Nashville in 2018-2021 and it’s the place I landed. I’ve been Crossfitting since 2009 but it’s been the only gym I’ve walked into with no worry about my fitness level, how I’m viewed, what I can and can not do, or how I need to modify any part of my workout. I moved away until 2025 and as soon as I was back in town this was my first stop, and joined right where I left off. Kyle (the owner), his wife and all the coaches truly value the people, their health, and respect every aspect of the community. To having fundraisers for parts of the community in need, to having socials and fun events for the members to become a family. There’s no where else in Nashville I would rather go! Stop in, everyone is friendly and you’ll feel right at home.
I have been a part of four different crossfit gyms at various times, and Rising Sun is hands down the best of them. The community and coaching are top notch-- I just show up, follow the programming, and have fun. I've gotten substantially stronger and leaner working with the coaches at Rising Sun, and they are always warm, encouraging, and they meet me where I am.

Thanks Andy! Love having you here 😊💪
Had a great Sunday Barbell Club with Coach Chelsea. She had us all moving well and gave me a great cue that really helped! This is the only box in Nashville I've found that has A/C, and it made a huge difference on a 95 degree scorcher of a day. Great group of supportive people sweating and getting stronger together!

Thanks so much for the drop in Joe! Come see us again 😊💪
Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. The community here is incredible—when I first started everyone was so welcoming from day one, and it really made starting at a new gym feel a lot less intimidating. The programming is consistently excellent and approachable. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this is a great place to challenge yourself and stay motivated. I’m so glad I found this gym—highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive and fun place to work out!

Thanks Jenny!!! ❤️ 💪
I was new to CrossFit and chose Rising Sun as it felt very welcoming to all levels of fitness. I’ve now been going for over a year and a half and love it! Although I've moved further away from the gym, I make the drive as it’s such a great community and I have been constantly progressing. At 29 I’m definitely the strongest I’ve ever been thanks to Rising Sun!
