Creation of Rise,
When I was 15 my father passed away suddenly, due to a massive heart attack. Moving from Poland to US less than 4 years prior, it was a huge and unimaginable tragedy for my family. Unprepared and broke, I started my first job 1 week later. Over the years I had several experiences noticing how people continually took their health for granted until it was too late.
Growing up without a father had a huge impact on me. Seeing how when I was growing up, the idea of a chosen life style was never a part of our lives. It was only after my fathers death that my mom became concerned with what impact food and stress can have on a person. After all, my father was muscular, educated, and a hard worker. No one expected him to have a heart attack less than a month from his 50th birthday.
Rise is about choosing a healthy lifestyle. We are not at the mercy of our genes, we have a tremendous amount of control how we age; creating the lifestyle we experience is not an accident. It consists of choices we made consciously or not, our lives are a sum of our choices. I strive to educate and empower Rise members to making healthier choices. To listen to our inner melody and bring harmony and alignment of our heart, mind, and body. Balance in life does happen, I once experienced it for a beautiful brief moment. It is something we will not be able to hold onto yet it is something we ought to continually strive for.
It is my belief that we truly write the pages of our lives. We may not be able to control all the events of our lives, but we do have control over how we respond to events of our lives, hence we influence the results we experience. We can look at any situation and come from a place of a victim, giving away our power and be at mercy of others or circumstances. That is not the Rise way. At Rise we embrace 100% responsibility for our lives, we believe in embracing the power to choose how to respond to events of our lives and create a life that is aligned with our dreams.
In my late teens and early 20s I was MMA training. There I learned about not only fighting, but also how to properly train and how to recover from injuries. With the passion for healthy aging, fitness, health, continual self development, the idea for Rise was born.
Early in my fitness carrer I had parents bring me their children asking me to get them fit. They were ages 6 to teens, and talking with the kids seeing how much they struggle, i noticed that it was almost hopeless when the parents were walking contradictions. You want your child to lose fat yet you are fat, your in charge of what they eat and the nutrition habits they developed, you want them to be mentally strong are you? I realized the children were the victim it was the parents who needed to lead by example if there were any home of change in the children, this is not about do as i say not as i do. Everyone is a leader and the first person we lead is ourselves. We need to learn to be better leaders so we can lead our families and co worker and love ones by example.
To strengthen the whole being, that is RiseFit mission.
When you come to a Rise class, it is designed to be a metaphor of life. The class will challenge you, the coaches will encourage you, and you will bring your own beliefs and values to handle the challenges and embrace the encouragement. It is our intention that what you discover and learn in class you take it with you out into your daily life.
The way you do anything is the way you do everything.
The book, Younger Next Year, had a big impact on me and set me on my path on educating people on how we can age more gracefully.
We don't build a relationship with everyone.
We strive to develop extraordinary leaders
The people that we do end up having a relationship with,
Are you a leader of a follower? We work with leaders. (follower, do you want to be a leader? no - then rise is not for you. Yes - we can totally help you)
have a measurable goal,
are committed to reaching that goal, ( we will do a BCS and FA at your start)

It has to be a win win.

The way we see it is that we are making a commitment to each other and each party has to do their part.

Rise is about getting the most efficient and complete training. Come in train and then go live your life. All the gyms want you to be their gym rat. So they create classes that focus more on being entertaining, fun workouts, and a social event then actually strengthening the body. Going to the gym should not be your life style.

Gyms have long term contracts because they are not interested in you, or your success they are interested in getting your payments. Selling a dream they sell 5 times or more their capacity of their facility knowing they will get the payments and people will not show.
