RISE Fitness Case Study

WHERE: Cheadle

TYPE: Boutique Fitness Studio

THE CHALLENGE:

RISE Fitness, co-founded by fitness enthusiasts in Cheadle, Manchester, aimed to revolutionise the fitness industry with an innovative, holistic approach. Their mission was to create a fitness sanctuary that integrated high-intensity training, wellness workshops, and a strong sense of community into one place.

The challenge was designing a functional and inviting space that catered to diverse fitness needs whilst fostering a sense of belonging among its members. Given the competitive fitness market in Manchester, the founders needed to offer more than just workout facilities, they needed to create an experience that nurtured both body and mind.

THE SOLUTION:

Origin Fitness partnered with RISE Fitness to bring their vision to life, focusing on a versatile and comprehensive equipment selection that would cater to the diverse needs of their clientele. The gym was divided into several key areas to optimise the workout experience across strength training, cardiovascular fitness, functional training, and holistic health.

Reimagining group workouts, the team at RISE wanted to create a fitness experience like no other with a community-driven atmosphere. The space is a playground for all types of training from weightlifting and functional training, to low-impact exercises or group sessions.

Starting with the Cardio Zone, we equipped it with Origin Storm Curved Treadmills, Origin Storm Air Bikes, and Origin Storm® Ski Trainers, which provide a variety of high-intensity cardio options.

Within the Functional Training Zone we selected Origin Sandbags, Gym Division Hex Dumbbells, Origin Rubber Kettlebells, and Origin Slam Balls to supports dynamic and varied workout routines.

In the Strength Training Zone we curated a selection of high-quality strength equipment including Alpha Half Racks with Origin Crumb Rubber Bumper Plates, Origin Performance Multi Adjustable Benches, and Origin 20kg Men’s Competition Weightlifting Bars catering for strength enthusiasts.

Included in this project was a private PT room built to allow members to work with staff on their strength and conditioning training in a one-to-one capacity. It features Origin UD3 Urethane Dumbbells with a 2 Tier Storage Rack, Alpha Half Rack, Origin Performance Multi Adjustable Benches and Competition Weightlifting Bars.

The room also includes a mixture of additional equipment such as Origin RB2 Rubber Barbell Set with a Single Sided Barbell Rack, Origin Rubber Kettlebells, Origin Glute Ham/Hip Thruster Bench. This space is the perfect place for PTs to work with their clients, members to receive coaching, and for smaller group sessions to take place.

Upstairs, transformative yoga and Pilates classes are run at the Fusion Studio. With wellness and flexibility as a focus, these serene space is stocked with Yoga Mats and Yoga Blocks to support holistic wellness workshops and classes.

THE OUTCOME:

Since opening, RISE Fitness has successfully established itself as a unique fitness destination in Manchester. Members benefit from cutting-edge equipment and a thoughtful layout, allowing them to experience physical transformations, and engage in wellness practices and community events. The inclusive and supportive atmosphere has been a major draw for many members.

Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with members appreciating the diversity of workout options and the quality of the gym equipment provided by Origin Fitness.

We have been with Origin for about 6 months now, the experience was very smooth, professional, and the equipment installed is to the highest standards. I’m very happy with the service from Origin and particularly impressed with their aftercare, the turnaround for any equipment issues was 24-48 hours. They offer an amazing service and we definitely will be using them in the future.
