Rise Nation was founded by renowned personal and celebrity trainer Jason Walsh in 2014 in Los Angeles, and the NoHo location opened on April 1, 2022.
Rise Nation is born out of simple concepts: to train like an athlete, and to work smarter, not harder. Walsh went back to the basics of primitive movement and took a super motion, gave it a superior application, and built a whole new type of group fitness class around it. Climbing is a primitive movement and is proven to be more beneficial because the climbing pattern reinforces and strengthens proper movement patterns and makes one’s body stronger, using all of the major muscle groups to work together in one motion, in the way they were meant to. Being the first to offer this climbing cardio format, Rise Nation provides smarter training centered on education that is designed for everyone at any age and ability level due to the variable resistance and lack of strain from impact, and meant to change lives.
Rise Nation offers a variety of leveled climbing cardio classes that are 30-minutes long, designed for beginners, intermediate level and advanced level climbers. The classes take place entirely on a vertical climber in a multi-sensory, stimulating environment, during which all of the muscle groups and high oxygen levels are recruited to elevate the heart rate and engage the entire body as one, to be an efficient and effective workout (burning twice the amount of calories in half of the amount of calories in half the amount of time). Complemented by state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, iconic choreography, and high-energy, motivational, and knowledgeable trainers, Rise Nation classes create a safe and beneficial environment in which climbers are encouraged to learn, practice, and perfect their climbs, while they strengthen and grow to new levels and experience unrivaled workouts.
There are 4 different classes offered: Level 1 Base Climb (700 to 2500 feet climbed, this class is designed to help climbers get the feel for Rise Nation and the climber machine, highlighting the basics of climbing and foundational choreography with in-depth instruction), Level 2 The Ascent (1500-3500 feet climbed, this class builds on the foundation of the Base Climb in a choreographed and high tempo session. This is Rise Nation's ambitious and signature climb), Level 3 The Summit (2500-7000 feet climbed, this class invites guests to experience the ultimate climb in a high intensity workout designed to maximize calorie burn with demanding moves and intense elevation gain and is their most difficult class format) and Mile High Climb (Goal of 5,280 feet climbed, this challenges guests to climb one vertical mile in a 45-minute class designed to energize and inspire one to reach new heights).
