I’ve had a great experience at RISE gym. The coached personal training classes are excellent—well structured, motivating, and suitable for all levels. The coaches are knowledgeable and genuinely supportive, always offering helpful advice on exercise, nutrition, health, and overall wellbeing. What really stands out is the community. The members are friendly, encouraging, and create a positive atmosphere that makes you want to keep showing up. If you’re looking for a place that combines expert guidance with a supportive environment, I’d highly recommend RISE gym.

I joined RISE over 3 years ago and it was the best decision I have ever made. The coaches are brilliant, the classes are always fun, friendly and intimidation free. The classes are challenging but your always encouraged to work at your own pace and fitnes level, absolutely judgement free from anyone else. Over the years my fitness has improved loads, I feel stronger, more toned and have lost weight. There's early morning and evening classes so a time to suit everyone, and having my classes booked in helps me with the motivation to go. which is something I used to struggle with when I went to other gyms. Overall an absolutely brilliant place and would recommend to anyone who wants to join an intimidation free, fun place to start or enhace their fitness journey.

I would absolutely recommend this group PT studio. I’ve lost weight, built muscle, and gained the confidence to tackle fitness events I never thought possible. I’ve also made great friends with lovely people of all ages and fitness levels. This is a supportive, ego-free and fun gym!

Coming up to my fifth anniversary at Rise and I can't see why I would ever go anywhere else. The support not only from the coaches, but the other members, is brilliant. I feel stronger than I ever have before and the session environment is very inclusive and not at all intimidating.

Ive been doing the group personal training workouts for nearly a year now. With the guidance and coaching I am stronger, fitter, healthier and lighter ( than I’ve probably ever been). I’ve been able to do exercises I didn’t think I would be able to do at my age (close to 50). I love the atmosphere, the coaches and having fun, so much so, I’ve now passed 100 sessions at RISE Macclesfield, and will be doing even more in my next year.

I joined Rise in May this year and have just hit the 100-session mark — something I’ve never achieved with any gym or fitness plan before! The variety of sessions offered each week, along with the fact they change monthly, keeps things fresh and exciting. There’s truly something for everyone. The trainers are all fantastic — friendly, supportive, and always ready to help. One of the best things about Rise is how inclusive and welcoming the atmosphere is. Whether you’re just starting out or more experienced, exercises are easily adapted to suit all fitness levels. And if you ever need advice, the team is just a message or call away — with zero pressure. I’ve recently started focusing more on healthy eating to boost my results and have been making the most of the monthly check-ins to track progress and plan next steps. There’s still a way go on my journey, but for the first time in three years, I’m genuinely feeling more confident — not just physically, but mentally too. The mental health boost from regular workouts and the positive community vibe is honestly priceless. If you’re looking for a gym that offers more than just workouts, Rise is the place to be. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Rise is not like your usual gym. Every session is run by trained coaches who support everyone, tailoring the exercises for individuals. It is very friendly, very motivating and very supportive. It is also non-competitive, non-judgmental and has no posers. It IS challenging but it is very effective, well worth the money.

Best thing I could have done was join RISE. The exercises are so different, I never knew they existed! Hard exercises sometimes but that's a great challenge! I'm stronger, literally. Still got a long way to go. But I've seen a positive change. I'm needing to be stronger and fitter as I get older, to enable me to look after my Husband when the Parkinsons really takes hold. Also, everyone is so nice too, always a great atmosphere. That means a lot!

A friendly, welcoming gym as soon as you walk in you're made to feel at ease and with friends. There's no pressure, no feeling watched just support and encouragement from all the coaches and fellow members. Great place! Don't think about joining - do it!

It's all about the routine for me. I have found something that works in terms of flexible times, different all body workouts each day and changing workouts each month. I quickly saw results in fitness, mental health and how I look which in turn drives me to eat better and understand what works best for me to continue to see results. Now I can't stop! Next step is to introduce more running on top of the Group Personal Training Sessions at Rise to improve hybrid fitness racing times.
