CrossFit Rising Star

Fantastic experience: I have loved my time at CrossFit Rising Star. Rob and team do a great job teaching the movements required and helping me have a great workout every time. I recommend getting to the gym with them and having some fun.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym run by fantastic coaches who care about every member in the gym. Regardless of skill or activity level, everyone in the gym feels welcome and is provided with the coaching, care and instruction they need. The facilities and equipment are well kept, and the prices are reasonable.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this gym! A fun challenge that is bolstered by its great community and personable coaches. I am a former black belt kickboxer that was missing my boxing and bootcamp classes when I moved to Vermont. I wanted something to help me tone again, felt new, and gave me a sense of being challenged, but in a reasonable & steady way. I also wanted something with a good community and engaged my competitive side. I've been here about 4 months now. In the past, I've learned that I am a "social" gym person---meaning that I like to workout in classes and groups and will often stick and stay with gyms because I like the people. Some people aren't like this and prefer solitary workouts. But, if you are like me, I HIGHLY recommend this gym. Coach Rob & Coach Jenna are exactly what you'd want in trainers--encouraging, fun, and capable of seeing you stronger than you see yourself. They'll challenge you but in strategic way, teaching you step-by-step technique and ensuring you are safely doing it. The workouts are varied with each class, too, which beats the monotony of just running on treadmills. There's also volunteer days, nutrition guidance, group events, and gym competitions throughout the whole Crossfit Community. Prior to attending Crossfit, I heard a rumor that Crossfit can be dangerous & taught you dangerous technique and form. That participants were often injured and unable to continue classes after a few sessions. Later, I learned that this rumor (as most rumors are) is overexaggerated. The people who were hurt were often not being cautious of their form & technique or overzealous within the competition. At this Crossfit gym, I have NEVER felt pushed to do beyond my capability. Rob & Jenna are communicative, attentive, and supportive, making proper technique and form a high priority. Whenever I've tried to lift weight beyond my ability, Rob & Jenna ensure that my form is OK, that the weight isn't beyond my scope, and are ready to support if help is needed. There is a wide range of skill and fitness levels, too. While my fitness level is slightly higher than someone who is coming straight from the couch, I have been both guided through exercises that are brand new & encouraged to excel at the things I know how to do well already. Anyway, it's always hard to get back in shape or find new ways to revamp your workout, but this Crossfit gym is a fantastic and fun way to start. You'll come for the class. You'll stay for the community!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Rising Star has been like home to me ever since I joined a year ago! Not only have a never been more fit and strong in my life, I’ve also gained so many new friendships and gotten to be part of a community that cares so much about the health and quality of life of every individual that enters the gym. The coaching is excellent and the environment is incredibly supportive!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at the gym for an a year now. I’ve struggled mentally with stuff and have found the coaches helped me work through them.
