    This gym is fantastic! Best gym you can find and an environment to reach your goals. Tons of equipment! This gym specializes in personal training and unique workouts, which is exactly what I was looking for in the new year. Besides the gym having everything you need, the manager (Diana) is inviting and extremely knowledgable. Won't find a better gym in the area.

I highly recommend this gym!

    From the moment I started my fitness journey, Rise Athletics and all the staff there Justin, Mariah, Saddy and all were incredible! The class structure, the advice, the mentoring and Ability for them to support you on your pursuit for change is awesome! Hands down best gym I’ve ever been too, and couldn’t be happier with how my goals are being met and the time they take with helping! Thank you guys!! -Max

    Been coming to RAW for almost a year now, safe to say this has been a facility that I have been In search of for a long time. Completely changed my outlook on training. The culture, the people, the staff, the programming is all top tier, and geared for all types of avid gym goers. If there was ever a gym I wish I could have found earlier this is the one.

  • 5/5 Selena S. 8 months ago on Google
    Love it here! I have been doing personal training with Christina and she is the best! She tailors all my workout for my personal goals and has always made me feel comfortable in the gym! I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 nicole h. 8 months ago on Google
    Christina is the best trainer i’ve ever had. She’s consistent and motivating and great at what she does. The gym is clean and such a good vibe. Would 10/10 recommend

  • 5/5 Alyssa S. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing coaches, great environment, and even better results! Ive only been here about 2 months and the progress I’ve made is insane! Everyone has been so welcoming since the very beginning! So excited to see even more results as I continue!

  • 5/5 Lorena L. 8 months ago on Google
    Best gym ever!! Excellent trainers and classes. I have been training with Mariah and I can honestly say that she is very knowledgeable, professional, keeps it fun and makes sure my form is good.

  • 5/5 Paul C. 8 months ago on Google
    I've been working out at Rise since they opened and have been working out with Justin since 2016. They regularly change up their work-outs, make sure your form is correct, and pay attention to your limitations. The gym is clean and the equipment is top notch. Best of all, this gym can accommodate individuals at all levels of fitness.

  • 5/5 Armando R. 8 months ago on Google
    RISE, and all of its crew has been way more than amazing, what an awesome experience with challenging and different workouts every day, the focus on mobility, core and strength is what has truly made the difference for me to realize this is, by far, the gym that aligns with everything I was looking for to keep growing and improving on a personal healthy life style. The coaches truly lead by example and show the hard work that challenge us to go through every session. I have no words to express how much of a healthy competitive mindset that has set on me and other people I know around. Cant wait to keep learning and improving with the best team! I dont regret I didnt find them before, I was just in preparation for the best workouts and shape that is about to come! Keep it up guys, you rock it!

  • 5/5 Josh M. 8 months ago on Google
    I had an incredible experience with Justin at Rise. He is an excellent personal trainer who genuinely cares about his clients' progress. His tailored workouts and personalized approach helped me achieve my fitness goals quicker than I expected. Justin is motivating, knowledgeable, and creates a positive fun atmosphere. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective personal trainer.

  • 5/5 Pejman M. 9 months ago on Google
    This is a wonderful gym to go to, especially if you would like one-on-one training. I am extremely happy with my trainer,Daniel, and I am glad I was referred to this gym.

  • 5/5 Brian F. 5 months ago on Google
    Rise Athletics & Wellness is hands down the best gym I've been a part of. We joined while in Fort Lauderdale for 5 months, and it was truly the best investment we could have made in ourselves. Justin & Mariah have built an amazing and supportive community, and Rise offers personal training and a number of group classes. In addition, Rise is a top-notch facility - tons of equipment and racks, spacious, clean, and great music! We trained with Danny several times a week, and he was an incredible trainer - positive, uplifting, and an absolute beast! Everyone at Rise - coaches & athletes - root for each other to succeed. If you're looking to meet your fitness goals, or want to DEFINE your fitness goals - this is the place, and these are the coaches!

    I've been going to Rise since I moved up to Fort Lauderdale a little over a year ago. The gym is probably one of my favorite parts of my day, day after day, never getting old. With a background in competitive gymnastics, proper strength training and conditioning with correct form and technique has always been my center of practice. I have also been a competitive gymnastics coach for 10+ years and although the training differs, you can tell how much thought goes into the programming they create. Rise continues to raise the standard day in and out with their programming.The progressions are amazing for anyone, no matter where you are in your fitness journey. If you have any injuries or areas that need extra attention, the coaches are more than willing to work with you and find different options that will fit you best. I have truly never found a better gym or community to be a part of. Although a journey in the fitness world may seem individualized, there is a huge team atmosphere, which helps to motivate you and give you the extra encouragement that people need at times to continue to push themselves. I cannot express how much I recommend going to Rise, or at the very least, trying out a class for free! It puts group classes at other gyms to major shame...Rise has their own tier that they have created. They continue to thrive and excel at extreme levels!

  • 5/5 Leonardo D. 6 months ago on Google
    Been going to this gym since they opened up and honestly it is the best gym I have been to. Mariah, Justin, and all the trainers there create such a fun atmosphere that makes the intense workouts feel fun, until you wake up sore the next day! The classes change every day to make it entertaining and to make sure you get a full body workout for the week. The facility is well kept and all the equipment is top of the line so you know they have put a lot of effort into having the best gym around. Rise Athletic and Wellness will always be my number one choice for meeting my fitness goals!

  • 5/5 Meagan W. 6 months ago on Google
    RAW is one of those places that provides you a whole experience for working out that makes you want to come back for more. It's in a great location, it's spacious, and it offers a lot of variety. But what really sets RAW apart from other gyms is their trainers! Mariah is incredible both one-on-one and in group classes because she pushes you to your limits while maintaining your form (which is actually very hard to come by). She genuinely invests in your progress and constantly switches up the workouts to keep you on your toes. She's also quick to suggest variations to make things harder or easier, depending on your skill level. Overall, it's an awesome vibe and if you're in the market for a new gym, this is probably the right one for you!

    I have been thoroughly impressed with my experience so far at Rise athletic and wellness gym located in the fort laudadale. The gym is clean and well-maintained, with the equipment regularly sanitized. The variety of equipment available is outstanding, from cardio machines to a wide range of free weights and functional training areas. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to assist and provide guidance. The atmosphere is very motivating. The gym offer personal training and also extensive selection of group exercise high-intensity interval training with skilled coaches. Additionally, the gym provides clean shower rooms. truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch fitness gym

  • 5/5 Jake R. 6 months ago on Google
    Rise Athletics & Wellness has excellent and knowledgeable trainers who do an awesome job designing programs that addressed my flexibility strength and cardiovascular strength deficits prior to coming in. The culture of the gym built a camaraderie that makes the gym feel more like a team compared to the gyms I would go to in the area which felt more “you’re on your own” It’s become way easier for me to stay on track now!! I look forward to coming into the gym now to have fun and get stronger in every way!

  • 5/5 Erica S. 9 months ago on Google
    The BEST gym in South Fl! I'm so happy with the progress I've made! The owners and trainers are very knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated to helping each individual member reach their fitness goals. The group classes, workouts, and atmosphere are extremely motivating! 10 out of 10!

  • 5/5 BeDriven F. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve visiting from out of town and I really appreciate the cleanliness of this facility! The staff was very helpful and this facility has everything you need to get a great workout in!

  • 5/5 Kristine J. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful gym with all the latest equipment. I especially love how knowledgable our trainer Diana is and her willingness to adjust workouts to accommodate any injuries that I may have and to rehabilitate my body.

  • 5/5 Constance D. 3 years ago on Google
    This gym is STUNNING and the ideal place to workout in Fort Lauderdale. Beyond the immaculate gym floor and impeccable maintenance of their impressive selection of equipment, the gym's atmosphere is exactly what I was looking for. It's not a big box gym with lots of attitude and obnoxious behavior - far from it. The staff is incredibly professional and kind - along with the members. Finally - I have to acknowledge the gym's manager and trainer, Diana. Diana is an outstanding personal trainer. I've worked with many personal trainers over the years and she is hands down one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated people I've met in the industry. Further, her passion for what she does jumps out at you and fuels every workout. Diana cares about her clients and will do everything she can to ensure our health and happiness.

    I have been with this amazing gym since day 1! The trainers take great care to understand each person they train. Both my daughter and i go here. The gym is beautiful, clean and well maintained. We love training here and Diana, our trainer, is amazing!!!

  • 5/5 Courtney A. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing staff. Clean. Friendly. Knowledge. Diana is my trainer and I'm so lucky. Her patience is amazing.

  • 5/5 Gene C. 3 years ago on Google
    The best kept fitness secret in Fort Lauderdale! Clean, professional, well kept and clean equipment. Only highly qualified trainers with fun, challenging programs. Pleasant, fun-loving clients. I got tired of using outdated fitness routines at the typical big-box, smelly gyms in Fort Lauderdale and gave 13th Street Fitness a try. COMPLETELY CHANGED MY FITNESS LEVEL AND BODY. Coach Diana is the best!

  • 5/5 Scott H. 1 year ago on Google
    This gym changed my opinion on gyms and working out; after too many years of training I am learning what exercises have the highest effect for the effort put in. If you haven’t already give it a try. Trainers and customers are fun, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.

  • 5/5 Kai F. 1 year ago on Google
    Killer trainers, no egos, all smiles and a lot of sweat. Highly recommend Dan.

  • 5/5 Jeannina D. 8 months ago on Google
    My fiancé and I were trying every gym in Fort Lauderdale looking for a gym when we moved to the area. We finally found Rise after it was recommended by a friend. It was awesome from the start! The group classes are challenging and the coaches are awesome! They correct your form, make modifications as you need, and encourage you the entire time. They've helped me build confidence inside the gym; I couldn't recommend this gym enough.

  • 5/5 Brandon G. 9 months ago on Google
    I’ve been doing personal training with Justin for about 3 years now. Justin, Mariah, and the entire Rise Athletics & Wellness team are simply the best. They’re great at customizing workouts that align with my fitness goals and needs, and as a result I’ve never looked or felt better. Do yourself a favor and check out this gym – doing so was one of the best decisions I ever made!

  • 5/5 Clinton W. 9 months ago on Google
    Great gym, great coaching, great results and a great environment. Only been here a month and have noticed results. The staff go beyond the workouts, and help out with diet, stretching and previous injury recovery. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Evgeniya D. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely in love with this place!! Amazing programming, amazing coaches! Gym is so clean ! After only a month I feel such an improvement in my strength, lost few pounds! 100% recommend.

  • 5/5 Jack B. 9 months ago on Google
    Have been training with the Rise team for years, and with Justin and Mariah for longer than that. This team puts together programming and a sense of culture/community that are second to none. If you want to get great results in a fun, high-energy atmosphere that’s suitable for beginners and advanced gym-goers, you should give Rise a shot!

  • 5/5 Douglas N. 9 months ago on Google
    Rise Athletics & Wellness is more than just a place to go to work out and stay fit. The family culture created by the trainers is felt immediately by new comers of all levels of fitness and tend to sign up right away after their first session. Owners Justin Ancona and Mariah Ancona have become lifelong friends of mine through the gym and I cannot put a value on the encouragement and effort they put into our workouts.

  • 5/5 Peter S. 9 months ago on Google
    I can't recommend Rise enough. I first met Justin and Mariah years ago at a gym called Elevate. I thought they were great and enjoyed the gym. Life went on and we lost touch. Over the last 15 months, I have experienced some of the worst injuries of my life. I had gotten out of shape and put on 30 pounds and was extremely down. I was going to another gym and I didn't see any progress. Workouts were hard (HIIT) but I continued to get hurt and didn't see progress. Then someone recommended RISE. It has been 2 months and I have never seen results like this in my life. The workouts are well thought out and really push the body. I would say the best part is the time and effort Justin and Mariah put into the warm-up and stretch. We lift heavy and so they take the time to get our bodies ready. I have never lifted this much and not pulled something in my upper back. I am lifting more and heavier while at the same time, I have no discomfort in my neck for the first time in a decade. It makes no sense to me, but I am beyond grateful. Another thing RISE does a great job of is sitting down with you to learn your goals and make sure not only are your workouts aligned with your goals, but also your nutrition. We all go to the gym to feel better and to see results. Nutrition and lifestyle are as much a part of that journey and Mariah and Justin make sure to incorporate that into the curriculum. The gym is amazing. The team (INCLUDING DANNY!) are great. It has so far changed my life. I know it can do the same for others.

  • 5/5 Emely E. 8 months ago on Google
    Best gym in South Florida ! Going to the gym has always been a struggle for me, up until I started at Rise Athletics and Wellness i was very inconsistent and unmotivated. This gym has changed my life for the better in terms of wellness, staying fit I even lost 9 lbs this past group 6 week challenge ! From being a beginner to having spent years in the gym no matter what you are always learning something new here. I have made so many new friendships and feel at home here. If you’re looking for that extra push this place will give it to you. All the coaches take the time to learn your habits and injuries if any they have helped me reach so many goals and even start new goals.
