RISE Fitness & Kickboxing

I LOVVVE this gym. The equipment is well maintained, it’s clean, and the overall vibe is the best. I can’t say enough good things about Ben. Very knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about my progress. Every workout is challenging but tailored to your goals and abilities. I’ve seen real results and feel more confident and motivated than ever. Definitely recommend!!!!

Rise Gym is hands down the top gym I’d recommend in the Annapolis area. Ben Biondi and his team go above and beyond for their members—from maintaining top-quality equipment and a clean facility to offering specialized classes led by knowledgeable instructors. You can tell they truly care and are passionate about what they do. If you’re looking for a gym that checks every box and puts your experience and overall health first, Rise Gym is the place to be.

Great gym with a genuinely welcoming and supportive culture. It doesn't matter what your level of fitness or experience is when you start out; they help you establish a workout routine that corresponds to your rhythms and goals. Ben is a great personal trainer! He has years of professional expertise, plus he is very patient and caring.

I’m a longtime member who took a break for awhile and am currently training with Ben and Cole. They both challenge me to push past what I even think I’m capable of (safely, of course). Every workout has helped me get that much closer to realizing my goals. If you are looking for a gym that truly embodies what “community” is all about, then look no further. It’s not just the trainers and instructors here who motivate members, it’s the members themselves. Members are all shapes, sizes, abilities and ages. Everyone wants each other to succeed. You could not ask for a more welcoming environment.

I am so grateful for this gym family. I feel encouraged and motivated in a time in my life where I haven't been feeling the best. This year has been been a clinging on hope kind, and with every new obstacle thrown into the mix, I could feel it start getting overwhelming. The 2 days I pop in for personal training has transformed my life, and fills my cup weekly. (so needed). In 2022, 23 & 24 I worked at a gym and nutrition life from home, with mentors. I spent thousands on plans and programs. While extremely active, I didn't feel better, look better or lose weight. With major changes in life and the health concerns of some family I was not making quality time for me. I had known Ben and other trainers from spending a lot of time in the gym a decade prior. I would reach out with questions here and there. I reached out to Ben to start PT. I cancelled (cause life) and then re-signed months later, knowing life may not change. I was very nervous feeling my endurance was crap but I had had enough of just not enough. I know the gym changes lives, that's a given. This decade for me its all been different: The gym is healing me. Ben is not only a great coach and hard worker, he is knowledgeable and encouraging. He's very easy going. I have surpassed expectations, am stronger and committed. I pray I stay on this path cause I need it. For anyone out there in my position: You can start again every single day. (that's what I had to do and I am so glad I did).
