Hydrate
Remember to drink plenty of water or electrolyte drink before, during, and after your Rise Nation class. Our high-energy sessions are designed to make you sweat, so staying hydrated will be critical to your performance during your workout and your recovery. Water fountains and bottles of water for purchase are available in all studios.
Get In Gear
Closed-toe athletic shoes are required to climb. Please bring a pair of clean, dry shoes to wear in the studio – we have plenty of storage space for your snow boots, sandals, or other shoes. We also recommend breathable, comfortable athletic wear and a sweat towel for your workout.
Arrive Early
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to class start time for your first class. This allows our staff to welcome you, give you a tour of our space, and introduce you to the Versaclimber.
The Basics
We want to ensure you’re comfortable on the Versaclimber before your first climb. Arrive 15 minutes early and let a Rise Nation staffer know it’s your first time. They’ll familiarize you with the equipment before class begins.
Check In
When you arrive at Rise Nation, give your name to the front desk staff to check in. They will confirm your class and direct you to your climber.
Waiver
First time climbers at Rise Nation must sign our waiver, which is displayed at our front desk and available on our app. Please read all sections carefully and review safety procedures before submitting. Any climber under age 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign the waiver to participate.
Easy Does It
Our classes are motivating, challenging, and inspiring and can also take some time to get used to. Be sure to pace yourself, shake out your hands and feet, and take breaks when you need them.
Rise Together
An open mind, positive attitude, and kindness ensure a gratifying experience for you and your fellow climbers. Remember the Rise community extends beyond the studio and #TogetherWeRise!
Learn the Lingo
Classes follow the rhythm of the music with moves and sequences called out by name. If you’re not familiar yet, don’t sweat it. Our instructors will demonstrate and catch you up on new terms as you go.
