✨A Moment for Christine • 1K CLASSES✨
Christine, you are an institution, a national treasure, & secured your place on Rise’s pedestal hundreds of classes ago 🙌🏼
On hitting this incredible milestone…
“I still remember walking into RISE over 7 years ago and being enthusiastically greeted by the very pregnant owner, Ren. What started as a way to spend quality time with my out of town college daughter quickly turned into a healthy obsession of my own.
7 years.
1,000+ classes.
60 years old.
Now I have just completed my 30th half marathon. Since it was a last minute decision to participate, I had very little running based training. Most of my preparation came from staying active, consistently showing up at Rise and taking the variety of classes that continue to challenge, strengthen, and inspire me. Who knew I was capable of coming in 1st place in my 60 year old division.
The minute you walk through the doors, Sarah and the front desk staff greet you by name and instantly make you feel like part of the Rise family. They go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcomed, supported and encouraged.
The instructors each bring their own unique energy, style, and motivation. Every class has challenged me, made me stronger, and connected me with an incredible community.
Ren, thank you for having the courage to chase your dreams so that I can continue to chase mine. Here’s to the next 1000 classes, more finish lines and many more years of getting stronger, healthier and happier together.”
Christine, you lead by example, and inspire coaches and clients alike. We are moved by your ‘testimonial’ but more so by your actions. You know who the heck you are and got your priorities straight: health, happiness, family & community. We couldn’t be prouder of you 🥹🫶🏼
