"Proud Canadian Brand"

I have been a Rise customer since 2019 and have chosen to support this brand over other brands because it’s Canadian and I believe in the brand.

During the holidays I placed an order for a couple shirts, and once I received them I realized I didn’t like them and needed to return them.

Unfortunately the return package was not delivered by FedEx and was bounced around before being sent back to me.

I reached out to the customer service team at Rise and they worked tirelessly with me for over 2 weeks trying to do everything they could to make sure the package was returned to them, and the original return was honored!

Proof I chose the right brand to support!

Only thing I wish they offered that would make them more competitive would be free returns, and a smoother return process. They currently require a sheet to be filled out by hand and mailed with your return.

"I'm 40lb's lighter in lockdown due to…"

I'm 40lb's lighter in lockdown due to the support and continued programme of events. I would recommend RISE to anyone willing to put in the hard work to enable you to loose weight and become fitter.

"Fantastic results"

This place has honestly changed my life.

From an overweight, head-in-the-sand, exercise averse, and unbeknownst to me unhappy person, to a nearly two-stone lighter, healthier, happier, fitter, leaner man who is enjoying exercise for the first time in his life.

Great coaches, great classes, great advice, great fun, and great results.

Try it.

"Positive, supportive environment that has really helped changed my health and life for the better"

Positive, supportive environment that has really helped changed my health and life for the better.

I honestly can't say enough good things about Jon and the entire team at The Academy GTC. All the trainers are excellent, the workout can be flexed to allow anyone to get the best out of their time at each session. But most importantly - it's the shared, community belief that encourages you to make the right choices and hit your own personal goals. I joined thinking I might do it for a short time, but I wouldn't be without it now, it's help me make really positive life decisions.

"A simply brilliant way to get fit"

A simply brilliant way to get fit, physically and mentally.

I've lost weight before, but have never really worked hard on my fitness. This place makes fitness fun.

Great coaches, great people to work out with, and loads of support.

Encouragement. Positivity. Simple goals to aim towards. Meal plans. Daily blogs and videos. All the tools you need to challenge yourself and have fun.

Habits you can set yourself every week. Go as hard and as fast as you like. Work to your own ability. Nobody judging you at all - whatever size or shape you are.

Honestly, joining here is the best decision I've made in years. And there are scores of other people, like me, who know that this is much more than a 'gym' in the traditional sense. It's about building a better way of life through positive choices and decision-making.

I lost 28lbs during the 8-week challenge, but it was about more than that for me. I feel so much better for joining this place. If you're considering getting fitter, healthier and stronger, this is the place to be.

"Excellent approach for beginners"

"Looked into several gym in the…"

Looked into several gym in the macclesfield area once i read up on them i soon came to realise the academy was the place which fitted my end goal to loose weight with a class fun environment jon philosophy to getting results is fantastic just look at him and that is what i wanted 8 weeks later im 20lbs down and feeling and looking great.

"Great place with plenty of support to…"

Great place with plenty of support to achieve your ambitions whether that be improved general well being, improved fitness or/and weight loss. Fab team spirit so you are not doing it on your own - the 'Ninjas' are all lovely dedicated people there to support you through good times and bad.

"I was in a rut and on a downward…"

I was in a rut and on a downward spiral; gaining weight, eating the wrong things and not exercising. I knew I needed to do something about it and needed something or someone to bolster my will power if I was going to have any chance of turning things around. I'm still relatively new, having only completed a month but having lost over a stone in weight and feeling so much better mentally already BUT this place has given me the desire to be the best and the healthiest me - just like it has for hundreds before me and if you give it a chance it will for you too. Absolute 11 out of 10 place and people!!!!
