Pāpāmoa’s friendly local gym

Built around people. Backed by good coaching.

MORE THAN A GYM

Rise Up Fitness is a community-focused gym in Pāpāmoa, built on a simple idea: everyday people are capable of extraordinary things when they have the right training, support and people around them.

Founded by Benji Cottle, Rise Up started small, really small,— with just two people at a local bootcamp. What began outdoors has grown into a thriving fitness community, with our Pāpāmoa gym, Welcome Bay bootcamps and a crew of people who genuinely enjoy training together.

But the philosophy hasn’t changed. We focus on the person behind the membership. No fitness fads, intimidating gym culture or one-size-fits-all workouts. Just smart, effective training designed to help you get stronger, fitter and more confident in what your body can do.

group fitness CLASSES

you’ll be seen, heard & fully supported to unlock a new version of yourself

Our classes are capped at twelve. Small means a mountain of support, growth, enjoyment and community. Small means no one gets left behind, small means we move together. 

The fittest bring us all with them, we hold each other accountable, we learn, we bond, we educate. Theres no cliques, there’s no egos, there’s no one better than anyone else, we are just one.

There’s no secret recipe to the success of our members, it’s just the consistency that comes with finding your tribe and being counted for. The way our members can push, inspire and support each other is unique.
