I highly recommend Rise Fitness in Sharon center, excellent small group workouts and personalized support and tracking of progress. This format works so much better for me and I feel stronger and healthier. I love the flexibility, there are time slots every day to choose from. Colin and the other coaches are excellent. Less

I am glad I found RISE Fitness when searching for fitness clubs online. The reviews were great so I decided to give it a try and I’m extremely happy I went through with it!Colin and team make sure they provide detailed attention to every member. Will absolutely recommend it anyone wanting to work on their fitness journey! Less

Rise Fitness with Colin and his team is a major win for me. Last December I finally got diagnosed with a torn hamstring at age 70 from ADDICTIVELY playing Pickleball!My PT Mike at Motion Works recommended Colin for Strength Training!It is the huge piece of the puzzle that was missing! I ad given up my other addiction SUGAR over a year ago and my weight and muscle mass plummeted . I am healthy now and after 2 months at Rise I am seriously getting stronger. A big win is the sessions are 50 minutes incorporating all muscles! For the first time ever I suit up and show up without fighting myself. The classes are small and I receive all the attention I need and more. The people in my classes are my new friends!!!In Gratitude!!! Priscilla 🤩 Less

Rise Fitness has changed my life in such positive ways! The owner Colin is fantastic and extremely knowledgeable! I am over 40 and not a fan of exersize and have tried it all! Honestly, I expected the same results as in the past... I like it for 2 months, then stop. I always look forward to coming to workout! I see results and we don't go super hard, but its still a workout! Its awesome! Colin and Keith (the new coach- so great too), are supportive and flexible if life happens and I can't make a session. Its the perfect balance for a mom on the go who wants the energy, the strength to play with the kids (and keep up with them) and confidence to do life everyday! It has been only positives for me here at Rise! I am SO greatful I found them!! Less

Colin is friendly, energetic and passionate about helping clients reach their goals. I really enjoy the small group personal training format. Colin creates a varied and dynamic workout for each class. The size of the class allows for personalized attention, including exercise modifications if needed and suggested weights for strength training. It gives me the accountability I need to stay on track and the group creates a supportive and fun environment. I highly recommend you try Rise Fitness if you’re looking for a gym that tailors to your needs and abilities. Less

Rise Fitness has been a wonderful way stay fit and even gain strength, maybe even reversing the aging process. Exercises are designed to work on several muscles simultaneously. Colin is on top of every individual's unique needs and progress in a small group setting. Workouts there are a very friendly and upbeat experience. Less

I am over 65 and I have had several health issues and injuries over the past few years. Due to all these issues, it was difficult for me to work out. I had to attend physical therapy a number of times so I could even be prepared to go to gym. While going to get a mani/pedi, I noticed Rise Fitness. I went in and spoke to him about my myriad health issues and injuries. He assured me that he could work with me to get stronger and not aggravate my injuries. He offered free sessions so I could experience the workout. I was impressed and I signed up for 2 sessions a week. I have been working with Colin for about 2 months and I am getting stronger. He ensures that the exercises are not aggravating my injuries. He is knowledgeable, pushes you to achieve but not to over do it. I like having a scheduled time, working out with people who are similar ages and working with a knowledgeable trainer. I found that with Colin at Rise. Less

Group training is really fun in this setting, and Colin always keeps me motivated. I feel stronger and find that I have less aches and pains than before. Try it out… You won’t be disappointed. Less

I am thrilled that I found Colin and RISE Fitness. Colin has the perfect amount of kindness and motivational push that I need. I really look forward to each session to show him (and, more importantly, myself) what I’m capable of doing. I even tried an under 65+ session. Colin and my workout partners made me feel so welcome, able, and strong! We are fortunate to have you here! Less

Been training with Colin for a month and I can really feel the difference. I had stopped regular exercise for many years and Colin’s program has been perfect for getting back to it. In the small groups Colin caters to our individual needs and is interested in our all around health. He is very knowledgeable and will take time to answer questions about diet, exercise and nutrition. Colin’s passion for his work shows in every session, and he’s a great motivator. I’m looking forward to month two and taking it up a notch! Thanks Colin! Less

I can't say enough good things about RISE Fitness. Since I started attending the small group training sessions, I’ve noticed a HUGE improvement in my health and strength. In particular, some chronic aches I was dealing with have gone away and I feel more agile moving around in my everyday life.Colin is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. The atmosphere at the studio is supportive, and I always feel encouraged to push myself without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re looking to get stronger and healthier, I highly recommend this studio. Less

Don't walk, run to this gym! After one year of not working out, I searched for a gym that would fit my needs as a busy working mom. Workout sessions at RISE FITNESS have been everything I needed and more. The small group sessions are tailored to meet your personal needs and Colin ensures that the workouts are being done correctly and effectively. So grateful to have found this gym and can't wait to continue seeing my physical/health improvements as the weeks go by. Less

Colin is extremely knowledgeable, educated and experienced regarding fitness, training and exercise. He not only addresses his clients’ physical and nutritional needs, but is also concerned about our social-emotional health as well. Colin is very personable and friendly and immediately puts you at ease. His enthusiasm and passion for helping others reach their goals shines through during his training sessions and daily social media updates. He has helped me set up the Trainerize app to follow workout routines at home and also the Zen planner to organize programming, scheduling and payments. He and his wife Kath have done an amazing job setting up and maintaining their newly established fitness studio and they make a great team! I highly recommend Rise Fitness if you’re looking to stay healthy, so if you haven’t already, stop in and give Rise a try. It’s a life changer! Thanks Colin and Kath!A.T. Less

This is not just some gym, it’s a community. That was a very important factor to me when I was shopping around. I want to know the people and have support as well as camaraderie. Fitness is more fun when you have good surroundings. We are also taught that there is a difference between working out (to feel tired) and training (to improve). We are training our bodies to be more lean, balanced, and flexible.The facility is clean, bright, and has just the right amount of equipment to really put in the work.I do group sessions but I am able to tailor it to my needs and push myself by amount of reps and weights.Finally, these are sessions that can be done at home and we are encouraged and supported to do home trainings.Rise Fitness is a game changer! Less

I like the personal attention to know that I am doing the exercises right. It’s very welcoming there regardless of ability. In the short time I have been there I feel so much better and I am always being challenged with heavier weights or more reps. I like someone telling me the weights I need to use. If not I would stay on the lowest easiest ones! I can email Colin anytime and get a response. It’s flexible and convenient! So happy to have joined! Less

I am not an athlete, not a joiner, not a group/class workout person and I am loving RISE. Colin is welcoming, supportive and motivating to all types of people. He’s been fantastic at meeting me where I am with my current fitness level (and some of my mental barriers to “going to a gym”) and pushing/motivating me to do a little more each week. The vibe is fun, not competitive, and feels sustainable in my life! Less

Joined Rise Fitness 4 weeksHaving balance and strength issuesMy coach and trainer ColinWorked with me to focus on those areasThe workouts are challengingBut I feel safe to push thoughThe training hours work for meParking and location are a plus Less

Colin makes the workouts both fun and challenging, with a lot of variety. He regularly modifies the workouts for each exerciser. The time flies by. I can't believe how much progress I've made in just a few weeks.Having twice a week scheduled sessions really helps me to stick with my exercise routine. Less

As a senior citizen determined to stay strong and healthy, I started using the Rise Fitness app about 10 months ago. While I was seeing positive results, I was always concerned that I might injure myself by pushing too hard or moving incorrectly. When the studio opened in Sharon, MA a month and a half ago, I signed up for small in-person classes and am happy that I did. I find working out with a few other participants is much more enjoyable than working alone in my basement. I also feel much safer knowing that there is a watchful set of eyes making sure that I am not moving in a way that could cause injury. I truly believe that I am in better shape and stronger now at age 72 than I was 10 or 15 years ago all thanks to Colin at Rise Fitness. Less

I have used Colin as my personal trainer for probably the past dozen years. Not only is he a true professional and extremely knowledgeable, he is a master of his craft. He has an extensive educational and work experience background and constantly continues to deepen his knowledge and capabilities through a variety of methods; podcasts, research, extensive reading and industry networking. He customizes his approach to match your goals and capabilities to ensure you achieve maximum benefit in a safe and healthy way. Whether it is one on one or via a group class, you will see results and enjoy your time with Colin. Five years ago I moved over an hour away to live on Cape Cod full time and I have continued to commute on a weekly basis to work out with Colin. It is worth every minute of the commute! I could not recommend Colin highly enough! Absolutely fabulous! Less

I highly recommend Colin. I have trained one on one with Colin as well as in small group sessions. For the one on one sessions Colin took the time to learn my goals and then designed programs to help me achieve them. When training with Colin he always clearly explains the point of each exercise and then carefully observes to make sure they are done properly. I appreciate that he provides materials that made it easy to repeat the programs on my own.Last year, when I tore my ACL and miniscus while skiing and needed specialized training I knew that I could count on Colin. Colin's expertise and experience with sports medicine was invaluable and he always carefully monitored how my knee was responding and progressing and would modify excercises accordingly. Thanks to the training program Colin designed, combined with Colin's upbeat attitude and professionalism, my knee is better and ready for skiing. Less

As an older athlete (51), I still try to push my boundaries physically. This often leads to soreness and sometimes injury. I’ve been working out with Colin as my trainer for years. He’s been instrumental in keeping me healthy, motivated, safe and focused. His knowledge on exercise technique and injury prevention is incredible. On occasions when I overdo something, Colin ensures we isolate the injury and focus on the healing, reconditioning and speedy recovery. He’s helped me prepare for Spartan and Savage Races as well as the Boston Marathon. He’s also motivated me to get my butt in gear and has helped me win two fitness challenges. If you’re looking for the best all around trainer/ nutritional coach, Colin’s the guy! Less

I love training with Colin!!! Colin is very knowledgeable and has a background in athletic training so he really focuses on the safe way to train to avoid injuries. Besides being an excellent trainer, he’s always working to expand his knowledge on nutrition and has been a huge asset in helping me get my nutrition back on track with ways that really fit into my daily life. He’s also just really fun to be around and makes training sessions enjoyable. You can’t go wrong here! Less

Colin has been providing me with personalized monthly programming for just over a year. He spent time with me up front to assess my initial condition and goals, and he holds regular check-ins to evolve my programming as I've progressed and/or had changes in circumstances. He understands how to optimize workouts as we age without risking injury. You can be up front with him on the time you have available to workout and he'll develop a program that makes the best use of your time.I highly recommend Colin and RISE Fitness regardless of your skill level, age, or the amount of time you have available to work out each week. Less

I’ve been working virtually with Colin for about a year now and I can’t begin to describe how happy I am with the results both physically and mentally. I reached out to him initially because I wanted to start adding weight training into my workout routine. I felt overwhelmed and didn’t know where to begin. Colin truly listens to the goals of his clients and makes the workouts effective and achievable. He is readily available when questions arise and is an all around great person to work with. I couldn’t be happier. Less

Colin is an outstanding trainer. His approach with each client is very well thought out. He has a wealth of knowledge and an amazing ability to connect to each of his clients. He is a true professional. I would strongly recommend Colin to anyone who is looking to start their journey to a healthier lifestyle. Less

I have trained with Colin for over a year in semi-private group lessons. His expertise and ability to help you achieve specific goals while pushing you out of your comfort zone are unparalleled. I always looked forward to my workouts and felt motivated by Colin’s guidance. I highly recommend Colin and Rise Fitness for anyone looking to challenge themselves and achieve their fitness and health goals. Less

I've had the pleasure of training with colin for the past 3 years, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Colin’s extensive knowledge in fitness and nutrition is apparent in every session. He takes the time to explain the 'why' behind each exercise, which has greatly improved my understanding and technique. Colin’s sessions are well-structured, varied, and always challenging, ensuring that I stay motivated and never get bored. His positive attitude and constant encouragement have been key in pushing me beyond my limits. What I appreciate most is the personalized attention he gives – Colin is always attentive to my form and quick to make adjustments to prevent injuries. Since starting my training with Colin, I've seen significant improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. I've also gained confidence in my abilities and achieved milestones I never thought possible, such as running a 5K and mastering complex strength training exercises. I highly recommend Colin to anyone looking to improve their fitness, whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his clients make him an exceptional trainer. Thank you, Colin, for helping me transform my fitness journey! Less

I highly recommend Rise Fitness to anyone aiming to elevate their fitness. As a father over 40 with a hectic schedule, I needed something flexible. Colin created a customized exercise routine that fits perfectly into my life. After just a few months on his program, I feel stronger and healthier overall. Less

I've been working with Colin and Rise Fitness for about 6 months and highly recommend. I had previously worked out on my own and was in semi-decent shape but struggled as I've gotten older (50!) and my self-guided plan was no longer effective. The Rise Fitness program was a game changer for me. It was specific to my needs and focused on strength and mobility that I was struggling with. He changed my body and I'm feeling better and stronger than I have in years. We continue to evolve the plan as my overall health improves and I can't wait to see where this is going! Less
