RISE was born out of boredom with the normal gym experience, founded by a team of fitness enthusiasts who wanted more from their training. It brings together elements from multiple disciplines (strength training, powerlifting, olympic lifting, speed/agility, sports conditioning + more) under one roof, and priced at a point that makes elite training affordable. We're centrally located right off Route 1, between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach.

We voluntarily shut our doors in March to do our part to help flatten the COVID-19 curve. On June 1st, we carefully reopened as part of Delaware's Phase 1 plan, and will be following all relevant State guidelines and best practices as advised by the DPH and CDC.

Due to COVID-19, we've made the following temporary changes, which are subject to revision as new guidance is issued.

• Face Coverings Required - You must be wearing a face covering to enter the building. It can be removed while vigorously exercising, provided you are 6' away from strangers, but must be worn at all other times in the building or while climbing.
• No Towel Service - COVID-19 is not transmitted in sweat, but is via respiration droplets from a sneeze or cough (which you cover up with a towel). In the interest of hygiene, we ask that all members bring their own towel for the time being.
• No Water Fountains - Our shared water fountains will temporarily be disabled, but the bottle fillers will still work. Bottled water is still available for purchase.
• No Shared Mats - Please bring your own exercise mat; our shared mats are in storage.
• Limited Rock Wall Use - As per Delaware DPH, both the tall wall and bouldering wall are open for use, as the surface and holds are disinfected multiple times per day with an electrostatic process to allow safe usage.
• Disinfect Everything - Customers must wipe down all equipment after use, including free weights... as per the State's guidelines. We actually suggest wiping down both before and after each use.
• Virtual Classes - Most classes will continue to be virtual for the time being or, possibly, limited to 10 people if they don't require equipment. Check our site for the latest and most up-to-date schedule.
• Social Distancing - Please observe the posted guidelines for cardio equipment usage. Unless you're next to a partner or family member, there should be one empty piece of cardio equipment between you and the next person.

Like every small business out there, we're trying our best to navigate the pandemic with due regard for the safety of our visitors.

• Staff Health Screening - Our staff checks their temperature daily, and at any sign of illness, they've been instructed to stay home. We supported and paid them all throughout the pandemic and their health and wellness remains important to us.
• Disinfectant Availability - Dramatic increase in disinfectant availability. Those cleaning bottles that were placed throughout the gym have quadrupled in number, and even have easily accessible holders on the circuit and pin-loaded pieces.
• Increased Spacing - We've added room between most equipment to allow for a minimum space of six feet between people. We ask that you practice social distancing and give strangers their space.
• Sanitation Schedule - We've always kept a clean house, but will be adding additional disinfectant sessions in the bathrooms, the equipment and auto-belay carabiners.
• Limited Occupancy - For Phase 2, we are limited to 30% of our standard occupancy of 500 people. Please check the notice at the top of the page for how crowded the facility is and adjust your visit according to your comfort level.
• Be Kind - Simply put, give people their own space, worry about yourself and be courteous to others. Everyone's comfort level is different, so please accept that before confronting or judging other members and visitors.
