A program written for one person. You.
No templates, no bootcamp. We assess how you move, learn your history and goals, then build your strength from there.
Assess. Program. Progress.
Strength is the foundation. Everything else you want, from moving without pain to performing in your sport, gets built on top of it.
Step 1
Assess
A one-hour evaluation: how you move, your health and injury history, and what you want out of training.
Step 2
Program
Your coach writes a 4-week program for you alone, with strength as the foundation everything else builds on.
Step 3
Progress
Every 4 weeks the program is reviewed and rewritten, so it keeps moving you toward your goals.
One hour that shapes everything after it
Your first session is a 60-minute, in-person evaluation for $100. It's how your coach learns what your program needs to do.
- Movement assessment
- Health and injury history
- Goal setting
- An intro to the gym
You choose a package and set your schedule after the evaluation, once you know it's a fit.
Book your evaluationOne-on-one or semi-private
Both get a fully individualized program. The difference is how much of the coach's attention is yours.
One-on-one
You and a coach, every session. Best if you have less than a year of structured strength training, or you're working around an injury.
Semi-private
Train in a group of up to 5 during scheduled times. Everyone follows their own individualized program, with a coach on the floor.
Wherever you're starting
Starting or starting over
New to lifting, or coming back after years off. We teach the movements and build the habit at a pace that sticks.
Training around pain or injury
Fresh out of physical therapy or managing an old injury. Henry is a licensed manual therapist, so your program accounts for how your body actually moves.
Athletes and experienced lifters
Stuck on a plateau or preparing for a season. Henry has coached at EXOS, Cressey Sports Performance and Mike Boyle's.

Programs that fit real lives
First-timers, people training around pain, and people whose health changed mid-program.
I came in with a handful of limitations — a frozen shoulder, neck pain, and anxiety — and Henry worked around every one of them.

I hadn't set foot in a gym in 10 years when I started at Rise. Henry built a program that safely helped me reignite that old muscle memory without overdoing it.
I came in with a handful of limitations — a frozen shoulder, neck pain, and anxiety — and Henry worked around every one of them. He's a true expert and someone I trust 100%.
Since training with him, I've lost weight, gained control over my blood sugar, and my anxiety has eased. I can't recommend Henry and Rise Strength enough.
First time focused on strength training + lifting. Henry has been great guidance as well as understanding of my goals and limitations.

Been going to Rise for nearly 5 months and having a fantastic experience. First time focused on strength training + lifting. Henry has been great guidance as well as understanding of my goals and limitations, helping me learn how to do exercises well and challenge myself. And the gym is always clean and equipment well cared for. Altogether making it a welcoming place to learn and grow stronger.
His programs are backed by science and tailored to my needs, not just fads or recycled generic programs.

Rise is exactly the kind of gym I was looking for. Strength focused with every type of equipment I could need and more. It’s always clean and organized. I appreciate that the culture is very accepting and you’ll see a broad diversity of people working out.
Training with Henry has been the best part of my experience at Rise. I appreciate that his programs are backed by science and tailored to my needs, not just fads or recycled generic programs. Henry emphasizes function in a unique way — translating movements in the gym to what I need to be strong and healthy in my daily life. When things changed in my health, he easily adapted and helped me emphasize what I needed to stay healthy while also achieving my fitness goals. He redirected me and helped me adjust my goals to be more aligned with what I needed (and not what I thought I needed!). He’s easy to work with, communicates very well and makes me feel very comfortable with new movements or concepts. I highly recommend Henry and Rise Strength!

Before you book
I've never lifted before. Is Rise for me?
Yes. We welcome every experience level. Your program starts from where you are today, and we recommend one-on-one training if you have less than a year of structured strength training.
I'm dealing with an injury. Can I still train?
Often, yes. Henry is a licensed manual therapist and works with people coming straight out of physical therapy. The evaluation covers your health and injury history so your program is built around it.
What happens at the evaluation?
It's a one-hour, in-person session for $100. We assess how you move, go over your health history and goals, and show you around the gym. Package purchase and scheduling happen after the evaluation.
One-on-one or semi-private?
One-on-one is you and a coach, and it's what we recommend if you're newer to strength training. Semi-private is a group of up to 5 at scheduled times, each person on their own program, at about half the price per session.
How long do I commit for?
Training packages run in 4-week blocks with a 2-month minimum. Your program is rewritten every 4 weeks.
Start where you are.
Book a one-hour evaluation. We'll assess how you move, learn your goals and history, and show you what your program will look like.
