Cross-Train Fitness

I've been a member at CrossFit Rising Star for about 5 months and its been incredible. From the first day I walked in to learn about what they offer until now I have always felt like everyone, from Rob the owner to the coaches to every member, genuinely cares about everyone there. The atmosphere is incredible, there are members of different ages and levels, and we all support each other. Getting into shape isn't easy, it takes dedication, when I was working out by myself, or training at other gyms, I lost motivation, quit and stopped working out entirely. CrossFit Rising Star is different, we all support each other & motivate each other, its really a family environment, its fun! CrossFit can sound intimidating, but its not here, classes are small and personal and the coaches are always making sure everyone is training properly and safely at their level of progression. They have classes throughout the day, so its easy to train depending on my schedule for the week. The monthly membership price is extremely affordable and they have multiple options. There is no sales pitch here, its more about what you want to get out of your membership. I can not say enough good things about CrossFit Rising Star, the facility is top notch, the training is incredible, the support from the coaches and members is amazing, and the results I'm getting in such a short amount of time is even better. Everything about this place is awesome, it doesn't matter if your just starting to get into shape or if you've never trained, the support and motivation I get being a member here is the best and I love being a part of it.

After COVID, we were in a rut. My wife decided to join the gym. I was skeptical at first but the gym is great. The coaches are amazing and the people are supportive. I would recommend it to everyone.

Can not say enough about CrossFit Rising Star. They say CrossFit is the exact opposite of Fight Club… because once you start you can’t stop talking about it! I’ve never been a “gym person”… never envisioned myself going to a gym… but knew I needed to get into shape and liked the fact that CrossFit is structured and walks me through what I need to do with no experience needed. Since joining, everybody has treated me like family and the uplifting spirit of everybody around you is encouraging! I was by far one of the most out of shape people there, and still am three months later… but not an ounce of me feels like an “outsider.” Besides all that, I’ve gone from 3XL shirts to XL shirts, I have more energy than ever before, and it is pretty neat gaining all these muscles I’ve never had before.

By far one of the best places I have been to in a long time. Im from New Jersey and here for school, they are very welcoming as well as very fun the staff knows what they are doing and very supportive over all very good gym and one of the best

Such a wonderful community with the best coaches! Thank you so much for sharing your tips and wisdom to make the start of my CrossFit journey so memorable!

CrossFit Rising Star has been like home to me ever since I joined a year ago! Not only have a never been more fit and strong in my life, I’ve also gained so many new friendships and gotten to be part of a community that cares so much about the health and quality of life of every individual that enters the gym. The coaching is excellent and the environment is incredibly supportive!

Excellent gym run by fantastic coaches who care about every member in the gym. Regardless of skill or activity level, everyone in the gym feels welcome and is provided with the coaching, care and instruction they need. The facilities and equipment are well kept, and the prices are reasonable.

I LOVE this gym! A fun challenge that is bolstered by its great community and personable coaches. I am a former black belt kickboxer that was missing my boxing and bootcamp classes when I moved to Vermont. I wanted something to help me tone again, felt new, and gave me a sense of being challenged, but in a reasonable & steady way. I also wanted something with a good community and engaged my competitive side. I've been here about 4 months now. In the past, I've learned that I am a "social" gym person---meaning that I like to workout in classes and groups and will often stick and stay with gyms because I like the people. Some people aren't like this and prefer solitary workouts. But, if you are like me, I HIGHLY recommend this gym. Coach Rob & Coach Jenna are exactly what you'd want in trainers--encouraging, fun, and capable of seeing you stronger than you see yourself. They'll challenge you but in strategic way, teaching you step-by-step technique and ensuring you are safely doing it. The workouts are varied with each class, too, which beats the monotony of just running on treadmills. There's also volunteer days, nutrition guidance, group events, and gym competitions throughout the whole Crossfit Community. Prior to attending Crossfit, I heard a rumor that Crossfit can be dangerous & taught you dangerous technique and form. That participants were often injured and unable to continue classes after a few sessions. Later, I learned that this rumor as most rumors are is overexaggerated. The people who were hurt were often not being cautious of their form & technique or overzealous within the competition. At this Crossfit gym, I have NEVER felt pushed to do beyond my capability. Rob & Jenna are communicative, attentive, and supportive, making proper technique and form a high priority. Whenever I've tried to lift weight beyond my ability, Rob & Jenna ensure that my form is OK, that the weight isn't beyond my scope, and are ready to support if help is needed. There is a wide range of skill and fitness levels, too. While my fitness level is slightly higher than someone who is coming straight from the couch, I have been both guided through exercises that are brand new & encouraged to excel at the things I know how to do well already. Anyway, it's always hard to get back in shape or find new ways to revamp your workout, but this Crossfit gym is a fantastic and fun way to start. You'll come for the class. You'll stay for the community!

I have been at Cross Fit Rising Star for almost a year. This is one of my favorite places in Vermont! Rob, Coleman, and Jenna are all amazing coaches and have helped me navigate my fitness journey. The classes are smaller which means that you get so much individual attention and feedback. If I could, I would give this gym more than 5 stars.

Amazing welcoming place! Definitely a No Judgement Place! Not only the staff works to educate and guide you but as well the other members of the gym! Everyday is a new enjoyable challenge and workout!
