Thank you to Kyle and the good folks at CF Rising Sun! Dropped in during a girls trip and had a great Saturday morning workout (kudos to Athena, killed it during our WOD). Great facility, nice people; I know where I’ll drop in again if I’m ever in East Nashville again.

I am a former division one athlete and grew up as a gymnast. I moved to Nashville a few months back and finally felt ready to get back into fitness and get back to my old self and my old physique. I honestly CANNOT express how welcoming every single person who I’ve come across at Rising Sun so far has been. I have felt safe, listened to, and have had a whole lot of fun. CrossFit can be scary to those who have never lifted before, but I can say honestly if anyone wants to start this is the place they should do it. No matter where you’re at in your life or fitness journey they can help you figure out your goals and trajectory. I have so much fun here it barely feels like I’m in the gym for 10 minutes, next thing I know it’s been an hour! 100/10 highly recommend to anyone.

Unparalleled training and coaching. Great, supportive community. Excellent facility. Whether you are a newcomer or an experienced athlete, Rising Sun will help you get stronger, leaner and healthier. The coaches really work with you to prevent injury or help you scale up or down the difficulty of workouts to make them the right fit for you. The group fitness atmosphere will encourage you to push yourself harder while you're having fun.

Knowledgeable, welcoming, and accommodating to those trying to get back into it. Very low pressure comparatively to other gyms. Getting stronger, more flexible, and fitter every day!

The welcoming vibes, fantastic staff and data-based approach to fitness make this the best gym in Nashville. I’ve made more progress here in a year than I did at other gyms in 5+ years of training. 10/10 would recommend!

I’ve tried CrossFit in the past and it hasn’t worked for me but I love it at Rising Sun! It’s more about the community and they’re very welcoming. Kyle is super into helping you achieve your goals and does a great job keeping you on track and making small, easily achievable goals to feel successful along the way! Hands down the best gym I’ve been to in the last decade

I've been to many CF gyms in Nashville. Rising Sun is by far the most welcoming community in my experience.So much so, that after building my own home gym and quitting, I re-joined shortly after because I missed the camaraderie, energy, and community that you can only get at Rising Sun.If all of this wasn't enough, the programming is approachable for those just starting off/need to scale, and can be extremely challenging even for athletes at the top of their game. I highly recommend this gym for the skeptical and/or critical fitness novice, and to the seasoned Crossfitter.The facility and equipment is well-maintained, the coaches are kind, helpful, and fun. What are you waiting for!?

Love the coaches and the intentional programming here. The workouts are structured with purpose, and they schedule different cycles to improve different lifts/skills/muscle groups, throughout the year, which results in a challenging and balanced approach to fitness.From a personal side, the coaches foster a truly welcoming and encouraging community where we drive each other to be the best versions of ourselves.Whether you’re in town for the weekend or you live here, stop by—this place is awesome.

Great coaching even better community!If you’ve been thinking about trying CrossFit, or just want to up your fitness game, couldn’t recommend Rising Sun enough.All classes are designed for a mixture of levels, if you want to obsess over the leaderboard and compete there’s competition for you, if you just want to move your body and get the heart rate up then there’s something for you too. The coaches are great at adapting the class for your ability so you get the maximum outcome.Community is great too, made some good friends here, which was great as a new person moving to the area. Makes the workouts all that bit better

Highly recommend Rising Sun if you’re looking for personal training or nutritional guidance. Kyle makes it a priority to meet with members to discuss fitness & nutritional goals and what is required to achieve them. I primarily worked with Coach Jesse, who designed a great program that was individualized based on what I was looking to achieve (gain muscle). He was cognizant of what muscle groups required additional focus and strengthened these targets by introducing a multitude of exercises that always kept me on my toes. Throughout the sessions, Jesse was always ready to answer any questions whether it was related to the exercise or just an off-topic health item.In my first two months of personal training, I gained 15-20lb of muscle with noticeable muscle growth in my shoulders, chest, and quads. Very happy with the results and can gladly say Rising Sun is a 5-star gym based on results, training, and community.

Seriously the best gym. I started as a complete beginner two years ago, but the coaches, programming and awesome atmosphere really encouraged me to make ‘going to the gym’ part of my everyday routine. Couldn’t recommend more.

Excellent crossfit gym in East Nashville, but I'd honestly drive from anywhere else in town to attend, which I do! When I moved from East to Donelson it was tempting to find a new gym in my new area, but the community that exists at Rising Sun is so welcoming and familial that I wouldn't want to work out anywhere else.
