Presale To Opening Day
Before a single weight was racked, the vision went public — the presale opens in Gurnee and founding members lock in. Then the doors swing open and RYSE comes to life.

The Start Of The Big Expansion
Three years in, and grateful for every member who's made this place home — the men's locker room finally opens. Then the vision goes public: we're outgrowing our space, and the first big expansion is coming — 3,600 sq ft of turf, a 4,500 sq ft free-weight area with its own strongman/powerlifting zone, a basketball court, and a smoothie bar.
2024
Expansion Continues
The expansion doesn't just continue — it lands. The men's and women's saunas open, a women's-only workout studio launches upstairs, and near the end of the year the new turf area rolls out, finishing the big expansion.
2025
To The Next Level
The year RYSE took everything to the next level — real cultural impact and nonstop growth. Redefine Yourself. Shock Everyone. The STYKU 3D body scanner arrives, giving every member a detailed profile to track progress and chase their goals, and a huge RYSE-branded equipment partnership with Watson rolls out.
