ABOUT RISE UP FITNESS GA
WE HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT STRENGTH TRAINING, THIS IS WHY!
No matter who you are, your age, abilities, fitness levels, you need STRENGTH to be able to do the things you want to do in your life–from carrying in the groceries with ease, to climbing stairs, to chasing your dog around the backyard. The beauty of strength training is that it is accessible to EVERYONE, even absolute beginners, and the benefits are physical, mental, immediate, and also long-term. Many people worry about strength training because they don’t know how to do it safely. We can help! At Rise Up Fitness GA, we start light, at your current fitness level, and progress carefully over time with good form and safety standards.
