what we do:

Welcome to rise, the studio offering you small group personal training, we’re just off Island Road in Upstreet [between Canterbury and Thanet]. If you’re looking for fitness training, we’ll give you that, and so much more.

As we get older, it is even more important that we give our bodies the support they need to be able to continue doing the things we love to do in life through strength and fitness training; whether that’s maintaining the strength to do the work you love to do, the fitness to keep up with the kids/grandkids playing in the park or fulfilling the caring responsibilities you have.

By offering personal training in small groups we can give you and your body the support it needs to improve mobility, build strength, gain confidence and stay capable.
