Why RISE Athletics?
RISE Athletics isn’t just a gym—it’s a training facility where individuals of all skill levels come to push their limits, build confidence, and learn from experienced professionals. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just looking to get in shape, RISE offers MMA, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, personal training, and open gym access designed to challenge and empower you.
Suleiman Bouhata, Lead MMA & Muay Thai Coach at RISE Athletics, knows firsthand the benefits of martial arts. Reflecting on his own journey, he shares:
“I got into MMA after being bullied as a kid. Once I started training, my confidence grew, and I felt safe in my own shoes. It’s not about fighting—it’s about self-improvement and believing in yourself.”
But if MMA isn’t your thing, RISE still has plenty to offer. Whether you're looking for one-on-one personal training, strength training, or open gym access, there's something for everyone. Bouhata explains:
“We have an open gym where you can come whenever you want, and we have coaches offering special classes and strength training. Having that one-on-one coaching changes the game because it keeps you accountable and pushes you to give your best.”
At RISE, experienced coaches like Suleiman and black belt Jiu-Jitsu instructor Marcos Gaubert are ready to help you start your journey. Fundamental classes are packed every session, and there’s a place for everyone—whether you’re training for competition or just looking for a fun, effective workout.
