Introducing the brand new Rise Workout App
At Rise, we’re always working to create the best possible experience for our members. Whether it’s tweaking and refining your workout programs, improving the quality and expertise of our coaching, or creating stronger relationships within the gym, every decision our team makes is ordered toward improving the overall Rise experience.
For the past few months, our team has been working on something super exciting behind the scenes. And now, we’re excited to finally share it:
The Rise Workout App
Built by Rise. Built for You.
Why we’re changing workout apps
If you’ve trained with us, you know we’ve been using a third-party app to deliver personalized workouts to every member. While it served its purpose, it also came with some limitations like bugs, confusing layouts, and features that didn’t align with the way we do things at Rise.
So we searched. And searched. And searched. Eventually, we realized the app we needed didn’t exist. So, we built it ourselves! (A huge shout-out to our team member, Aaron, who was the mastermind and tech wiz behind this whole project.)
Since February, we’ve been developing our custom-built Rise Workout App from the ground up. And as of this week, it’s officially in use by our members!
This app is tailored to our coaching style, the Rise training experience, and our mission. It’s designed not only to meet your needs today, but to grow alongside you as we evolve.
What you can expect from the new Rise App
As we built the app, we kept in mind all of the feedback we’ve been receiving from members about our previous third-party app. The things you liked, the things you didn’t, and the things you wish the app included. Here’s what you’ll find:
Simpler, cleaner layout Easy to use, fast navigation, and yes... a bigger font!
Better progress tracking Track weights, reps, and performance with more accuracy so you can easily see your growth.
Workouts directly tied to your fitness assessments Training programs will now connect clearly to your fitness assessments, giving you a real-time picture of how your workouts are translating into results.
Your goals and “why” front and center Stay motivated every time you log in with your personal “why” showing up to remind you what you’re working toward.
Exercise demo videos from your Rise coaches Every demo is recorded by the coaches you know and trust, with cues that match what you hear in your sessions.
Coming soon: Visual graphs and progress charts We’re adding helpful visuals to show you where you’re improving and where to focus next.
The app that grows with you
Because this app is 100% custom to Rise, we’re not limited by someone else’s roadmap. We control what gets added, improved, and optimized, which means a continually better experience - all designed with you in mind.
As we said, the Rise Workout App was officially launched on the gym floor this week, and we are so excited about how it’s been received by members. Like with any new technology, there may be bumps along the way as we get everyone acclimated to the new system. We hope you’ll be patient with us and continue to share your feedback with our team. We can’t wait to see how this custom-built app, which was designed so thoughtfully and intentionally by our team, will serve you and your goals better than anything else that’s out there.
Let’s get after it!
