I found it! I was looking for a boutique gym that had all the serious resistance training equipment and knowledgeable trainers, yet also some quieter spaces for individual workouts, and maybe some group classes. I wanted a certain “feel” that wasn’t meat-head centric, yet serious about working out. I wanted clean, inviting, and professional, yet kind and personable. Well, I got all of that and more at RISE. In additional to the weight training and group classes, they have several personal trainers to choose from, massage therapists, chiropractic care, sauna and cold plunge use. Their prices are very reasonable and the parking is easy. The front desk staff are always upbeat and kind. And if you’re lucky enough to see Diane, she’ll likely great you by name; every time. I did my homework, I looked at several gyms in the Bay Area, and I am happy to say I have found my place (and my personal trainer, Gernard, and massage therapist, Taylor - they are both amazing!!). I highly recommend RISE.

I cant say enough good things about this gym!Due to personal reasons the last couple years, I needed help and motivation to get back to feeling healthy and like myself again.I decided to give this gym a try and im just so grateful for the experience I've had so far.I love yoga with Ananda on Saturday mornings and training sessions with the AMAZING Katherine. Additionally, every question about my membership ect has always been pleasantly explained to me by the wonderful Diana. I feel so welcomed there, and like an individual, not just a number, which has really helped me to stay motivated. Every staff member I've encountered has gone above and beyond to make sure I'm getting what I need out of my experience there. I've never felt awkward or had a bad gym vibe at all while working out. Alway a pleasant workout and so clean!

I cannot recommend enough their HIIT classes. I attended classes with Brenda, and after three classes I can see a pretty significant difference of how I look and feel, which I cannot achieve after almost a year of regular yoga classes. Incredible community, and Brenda is extremely knowledgeable teacher/trainer who tries to make every class a fun, but still challenging for her students. I heard that gym has added more HIIT classes during the day and in the evenings, so if you waited on the sign to try - this is your sign.

These people are scum bags. I had been a regular customer of Aleta at Rise. I had scheduled a massage, but on the day of, I woke up with a fever. When I tried to call and reschedule, they said they’d could do that but would need to still charge me for the cancellation. No class, stay away!!!

I’ve just dropped in while visiting family but love the space. Super friendly staff and awesome equipment choices. It was never too busy and had plenty of squat racks to chose from.

Really great gym. Have to take a look for yourself. From the outside it looks a bit small but once you get a tour of it, it's really big. They have about 5 squat racks, a good amount of machines. The staff is very friendly and for the most part people who go to this gym have really good etiquette. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a gym.

Dr. John Beall and his team of deep tissue massage therapists, especially Aleta and Kiko are amazing at what they do. I would highly recommend them hands down. Every time I needed help with my injuries. They were all able to help me heal and become even better and stronger than before. I trust them completely.

Took instructor Aaron's Wednesday 6am bootcamp today. It was intense, but really felt the burn and worth it.Highly recommend it for everyone and anyone who wants to lose weight, tone up their body or just have a good workout with a knowledgeable instructor.All of his exercises were suitable for all fitness levels and never sweated or was challenged so much in a group class before. Thank you so much! Counting days until next Wednesday 6am to take it again!

Small but they offer a lot and have great week day hours that make it possible to fit in a workout on almost anyone's schedule. They also have great staff and offer therapeutic services like massage, chiropractic, and more nicely located to a few tea and coffee spots too

Too many teenagers who think it's appropriate to workout in socks, otherwise great gym

Was visiting from SoCal and needed to get my gym fix in. $15 for a day pass and it has all the things you need to get a workout in. Pretty small but has a lot more specialized machines/equipment if you're into powerlifting from deadlift to safety squat bars.

Awesome gym. They have a lot of equipment and the price is reasonable. No long term contracts. You pay on a month to month with no initiation fees. Which works perfect for me since I travel for work. The staff is super friendly. Thank you Rise Bodywork's. I will definitely come back next time we are in alameda for work.
