RISE Training Centre

I've always wanted to try out boxing, and when I did I never wanted to go back, until Rise Training Centre opened. This place is not just a gym, but it is a community. The more seasoned members are always helping and motivating us beginners, so you never feel out of place. The owner and instructor, Barney Holland is a really such a pleasure to learn from, and he has worked to ensure the gym is a place where you can just be you and have a great time. The gym I'd always clean and ready for each class. If you're looking for a gym that offers boxing and kickboxing, with an instructor who is passionate and shares the culture of community, then Rise Training Centre is the place to be at.

Excellent gym! Barney is a very good coach that has a wealth of knowledge on Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai with a great focus on technique as well as strength and conditioning. Love the community here!

This is my second week since becoming a member at RISE and it feels like i’ve been there for ages with how welcoming everyone has been! I’ve never done anything like this before, but both trainers/coaches Barney and Sunny make you feel like you’re meant to be there. I would recommend to anyone and everyone because no matter your age, or experience, they work with you to help achieve what you want out of the training sessions they provide. I have been to a normal gym, but this one is way better! Everyday there is always something different, no same old boring routine. There’s always something new to learn, and always room to up skill and improve. I feel like i’m achieving more than I did in the normal gym and constantly improving myself in every session.

I’ve been training at RISE for the past 4 months and the changes I’ve seen in that time have been incredible, both physically and mentally.Barney is very knowledgeable and approachable and every session I leave having learned something new.The training focuses on having the correct form in both boxing and weight training to prevent injury, and in doing so has corrected my posture and I feel stronger and I’m in less pain.I highly recommend RISE training centre for ALL levels of fitness, especially for anyone who may be hesitant about starting at a gym.The trainers and community are very welcoming and the classes are a fantastic way to start or end your day!

I've been at RISE since it first opened 6months ago and I absolutely love it! Barney really makes you feel welcome and he is an awesome and fun PT.. I highly recommed to anyone no matter your age or fitness level :)

Rise Training Centre is by far my favourite gym I have trained at in Hervey Bay. With its impressive line up of boxing bags, gym equipment and of course the boxing ring" for sparring gives the true Mauy Thai and Boxing experience.From Youth classes to all levels Boxing or Mauy Thai

I trained with RISE when visiting Hervey Bay and truly enjoyed exercising! Barney and Sunny are very knowledgeable and supportive. The gym was also a very friendly atmosphere. Thanks for a great time guys - I hope to be back soon :)

RISE Training Centre is a truly fantastic group to be apart of.When I first started my fitness journey a few months ago, I had never completed any kind of boxing and was new to the whole idea. Barney was patient and thorough with all explanations of the classes, always willing to work on technique with you no matter how many times he needs to explain it to you (with me it took a lot to get certain moves). The classes were well thought out, challenging, always get the heart rate up and you always left feeling very sweaty and feeling fantastic.The members of RISE are all super welcoming, really nice and many laughs are had within the training sessions. No judgement or expectations are ever had within the groups, and if you are struggling with anything, ask one of your fellow members for a hand and they are willing to help explain.Barney is so passionate about this kind of training and you can understand why all of his classes have become so popular.RISE Training Centre is fantastic environment and if you are thinking of trying it, I highly recommend giving it a shot, you won’t regret it.

This is a fantastic community that allows you start as a beginner (like me) through to advanced athletes. Everyone is welcoming and super friendly. It’s a great place to train.Barney and Sunny have been amazing working around an injury while still ensuring a great workout.Thanks RISE!
