Al, the owner of this place was very rude when I made a phone call to Rise. I live in DTLA and there was a young boy and his mother was stabbed at a Target (Fig at 7th Target). This made me very cautious. My friend told me he was going to meet me at 7.30pm and he was at Rise. I waited until 8pm, but he did not response. Of course I got worried and I knew he was at Rise, so I decided to make a call and ask if he was there. Al answered and I asked him if my friend was there. He said he is and I responded by saying okay thank you, if you don't mind please let him know I called and I explained who I am. Then he responded by saying "were not a messager service, dont call if you want me to relay messages". That wasnt the answer I was expecting. Afterwards I told my friend what happened and he confronted Al. Al then said "if your friend is hurt thats their problem" and then the worst part is he asked if I was Korean. I am in fact not Korean, but I am asian and my friend asked why did you assume that? And he said Korean women are crazy. Racist and rude. If you condone that kind of behavior and belief, go ahead and join this gym lol.

Anything I say won’t do this place justice. From the start they were fast to respond to my questions. They offer a free class so you can check it out and see if you like it. My son loved it and we ended up signing him up. While we were turned away from other gyms because of his age, this place welcomed him with open arms. My son has gone from being upset due to bullying to being confident. He always leaves jujitsu class with a big smile even when he’s tired. Everyone is friendly from the staff to the members. My first day I was told that they are building a family and egos are not welcomed. I have to admit that statement rings true and it does feel like you’re with family. I love this place! To give more details, this place has plenty of work out equipment. It has equipment for boxing and excellent jujitsu and boxing instructors. Besides boxing and jujitsu they also offer yoga. Their facility is also clean and the bathrooms are spotless. I highly recommend this place!

Al, apparently the person who picked up the phone was keen on hanging up tho phone saying everything will be explained when I come in and I can schedule an appointment later. I repeatedly kept asking what I need to bring to sign up and received the same comment - all that will be covered when you come in. I explained that if I come in empty handed I will have to make another trip. That was it, he lost his patience. His response was that this is a private gym and not to bother coming here and hung up. I can’t believe the demeanor of this person. May be the rest of the staff is friendly but they definitely lost a client today.

Very welcoming family-run gym. I did a 6 week transformation program here, and Taylor gave me all the tools and support I needed to get the results I wanted! This included a meal plan broken down in ways that were reasonable to follow, along with a recipe book to make low carb taste good! The HIIT classes are some of the best I’ve taken (shoutout Tyra for incorporating gymnastics elements on Saturdays). They’re constantly pushing & encouraging me in class to do more than I thought I was capable of. If you’re in the DTLA area, I would recommend this gym over any other

I’ve been going to Rise Athletics gym for three years now and I hope to continue going as long as I’m in LA. The quality of training and attention from the trainers is amazing. Whether you’re a beginner, amateur or advance there’s a place for you at Rise Athletics. In the end it’s all about you and the results is all brought by yourself. Taylor, Alex, Will, Ozzy, Elizabeth, Al helped me tap into my potential and thanks to their professionalism and guidance I feel confident with myself in achieving my health and mental goals. Thank you - @jimmenji

Rise Athletics LA is the only DTLA gym that has all sort of classes under 1 roof. They have best in class trainers for boxing and CrossFit. I was always afraid of CrossFit but my trainer Christiani made me feel so comfortable and encouraged me to try it all out at my own speed while also pushing me to challenge myself to get stronger. My only suggestion for improvement is to turn the AC on always. It does get really hot since its in the basement. Besides that I don't have any complaints about the gym.

Just visited, This is a good gym if you just prefer classes and have a lot of money to spend. The prices are a bit high, the initiation fee and monthly rate for full access will run you around 300 bucks and then 200 every month afterwards. At that rate you might be better off buying your own equipment unless you just want classes and have the money to spend every month. Also they’re only open for 3 hours daily so that’s something else to consider when it comes to price for value.

I've been coming here for the last 6 Weeks and I absolutely love it. The trainers are knowledgeable and friendly with years of experience. The moment you join they ask you what your goals and they help guide in the right direction. There are so many programs to choose from, you got your pick of a special dieting program (which I lost a solid 20lbs while doing) HIIT, and different kinds of Martial Arts. It's literally a one stop shop for all things fitness.

I’ve been coming here for 3 weeks already and the community are great everyone is awesome and helpful specially the coaches are awesome and they know what they’re doing and I’m definitely staying for the long run thank you rise for you support and the coaches helping me out with my work out and getting healthy, I recommend this place to anyone that want to make a Change of their health

11/10 in my most honest opinion. They’ve helped me navigate my mental health through their physical workouts & lifestyle upgrade (diet, mobility & growth mindset). The coaches motivate you to push through your limits. Shout out to Tyra, Taylor & Alex! This is me right after a morning HIIT class, ready to slay the rest of the day feeling confident, and oh, so strong! ✨

While the marketing may seem like it is mainly a cross fit gym, it really isn't. This is a legitimate MMA gym that works really well to train students in MMA. I mainly trained in Jiu-Jitsu with sensei Al. The coach and students were all extremely friendly and welcoming. If you are thinking about learning MMA, this is the place to do it. Great for amateur MMA training.

I’m so glad I found this gym! I’ve progressed so much since I started in late January. The coaches for the HIIT classes are great instructors and everyday is something different. This is a place I’m definitely comfortable in, considering that everyone knows each other, we can use each others motivation for that extra push to hit our goals.

Great staff and facility. Highly recommended especially the HIIT classes and the nutrition guidance if you do their 6 week program. Coaches explain exercises well and help scale thing down if you are not physically at the level they tend to do things, so you can still reap the benefits of the workout at a pace that's doable for yourself.

Good open area for all your workout needs if you like Muay Thai, Boxing and other MA... Calesthenics also Relaxed atmosphere and a mixed crowd of members. I would like to train here all the time ☺️ unfortunately, I was only visiting from Scotland but it satisfied my cravings for punching and kicking while I was in town …

Rise is a real gym with real instructors who know their sport and can really help you improve your fitness and understanding of whatever sport you're gettin after. I have been a member here for over a year and met some talented and cool people and the gym is making improvements all the time. Nothing but love for Rise Athletes!

Rise Athletics has become a weekly thing for me, started around 8-9 months ago. Mainly taking grappling classes (Jiu jitsu & wrestling) as well as some CrossFit classes mixed in when I have the energy. Very chill atmosphere & Coaching is very hands on; detailed. Don’t know where I’d be without Rise Athletics, Great spot!

This is a great Gym! Clean, fun people, family atmosphere. Great boxing and jiu jitsu instructors. The CrossFit area is amazing and the trainers are very helpful, knowledgeable and patient. I find myself thinking about the gym even on my days off. Highly recommended for everyone no matter their fitness level or goals.

This is a gym for all levels: from beginning to professional. I have trained at lots of gyms and Rise has informative coaches, great people who attend, and is a very accommodating gym. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here when I lived in DTLA and I highly recommend to sign up.

I’ve been going to Rise LA since last November, and it’s been great. Never been happier with a gym. Not only am I getting closer to my goal (through exercise and nutrition coaching), I’ve been able to meet some all around really cool people. It’s a great community!

I love the vibes there. Tylor is amazing He always have positive energy to keep me up check on me.Since i sign in for a class my motivation is up and up. Alex is the best trainer he always on and make sure I do it right. You guys are awesome.!

The facility is amazing - Rambo style downtown Los Angeles! My partner and I go there for CrossFit and are enjoying our classes with Cristiane so much! She will make sure you achieve your goals while being safe! Best coach in the world! ❤️

Amazing experience with everyone here. Was looking to get back in shape and have been quickly progressing. The classes are always fun so I always look forward to a workout! The environment and staff are all welcoming!

A fantastic facility to train at with attentive/caring staff. Multiple/flexible fitness classes offered, which can be modified to meet your goals — overall great vibe whilst in the gym. Highly recommend!

i don’t know we’re i would be without this gym. I come here almost everyday and love taking the jiu jujitsu classes and Boxing classes. The people here are like family to me and I’m here to stay.

This gym advertised a free 6 week fitness transformation challenge and when I went in for the orientation they tried to charge me $600 to participate. Bad faith business if you ask me.

Rise Athletics had such a wonderful selection of classes. With classes that fit to my schedule. Great staff and instructors. I definitely recommend the jujitsu and kick boxing classes!

Great atmosphere. The classes are well implemented for any level. And the coaches are there for you. If you want the results you’ll get them here. Be ready to work . …

Great supportive culture here, good training. I did the 6 week body transformation challenge and I was a little skeptical at first but it ended up being totally worth it!

Best training location in L.A! Went in with no experience for what I told myself would be a two month period that has now been a 4.5 year experience and on going.

Rise Athletics has been so amazing! The environment is great and everyone is so kind and there is no judgement with what level you are at! I love it here

Great coaching staff and just as great of people training there. Everyone supports each other when training, and the facility is great.

I love this gym: it has great staff, the other attendees are incredibly nice. I am pretty excited to be a part of the RISE experience!

Love this place cause is not just a gym where you workout but a lifestyle. Check them out you won’t be disappointed.

A premier gym in the heart of Los Angeles that offers all your fitness, martial arts and self defense needs.

Never in my life that i would do MMA but with their awesome trainers i did just that. best gym ever
