This place has it all. If you’re a UF student looking for a supportive community and flexible class times, this place is for you. If you’re a parent looking for kids’ classes and childcare or family-focused activities like trips to the springs and trunk-or-treat, this place is for you. And if you’re a more serious athlete looking to get the most from your membership—whether through open gym, experienced coaches, or clinics on complex movements—this place is also for you. A true gem, and one of the places in Gainesville I’ll miss most!

When I moved to Florida, I left behind a very special home gym community in Virginia that I had been a part of for 5 years. Since living here I’ve searched for a gym community in Gainesville that might feel equally as special….I absolutely found that at Risen Strength CrossFit. I spent time at other gyms in the area before I found Risen Strength, and I’m telling anyone reading this, Risen Strength welcomes you with open arms and you immediately become part of the family there. Class is so fun! Saturdays you can do a partner workout, and they have comps throughout the year you can participate in or help out by judging, etc. They also make the Open exciting!! All I’m saying is, come on out and experience it for yourself. I know you’ll see how special it is, just like I have.

This is the real judgement free zone! My family and I started going to RSCF about 3 months ago after having been pretty sedentary for the past decade. I used to come home from work too tired to play with the kids and with barely enough energy to make it through the bed time routine. And strength? I didn’t know her. Now I’m hanging from the rope swing at Poe Springs, climbing trees with the kids, hiking mountains, and doing squats with my adult brother on my back! My son and I are both starting to see more muscle definition especially in our arms and upper back. My son’s confidence has increased too! RSCF has created such an amazing environment and community of athletes. They welcomed us where we were at in our fitness journey, and encourage us every day to keep going. All of the coaches are amazing too, they truly care about each and every single athlete and are ready to encourage you to achieve what you work for in the classes. We 💙 RSCF!!
Can’t recommend this place enough!

From day one I felt like I belonged. Never doing crossfit before I was very nervous to get started. The coaches really take the time to make sure you understand the movements and are able to perform them safely. The athletes welcome you into the group with open arms. It's like training with family! For anybody on the fence about coming, you will not regret it.

Risen Strength is more than just a gym… it’s a community I’m so proud to be apart of.
From day one, I felt welcomed by the coaches and members alike. The friendships I’ve built here are what keep me coming back. Everyone is encouraging, supportive, and genuinely invested in each other’s progress.
The workouts are no joke… they’ll challenge you physically and mentally, but they’re always scalable and achievable with guidance from the coaches. Whether you’re brand new to CrossFit or have years of experience, you’ll find a spot here where you can grow and thrive.
Risen Strength has pushed me to become stronger, more confident, and part of something bigger than myself. I’m incredibly grateful for this gym and the people in it!

Risen Strength CF is the gold standard of CrossFit boxes. I frequently visit different CF gyms around the country and the world: no other meets the mark of RSCF. For beginners there is no better place to start a new journey of health and crushing goals. And certainly for experienced athletes, everything is set up to train to an elite level, as much or as little as you can or desire. This gym is your oyster. Nowhere else have I seen coaches and owners put so much thought and intention into their members’ experience. Firstly, careful attention is focused to ensure each member can participate safely, and do each movement without injury. The coaches are excellent at bringing themselves to each person’s level, no matter where that happens to be. Second, the fun begins, as you great learn skills you didn’t even know you were capable of, and begin to know your own strengths, and weaknesses, better than ever before. Each lesson is carefully planned to produce the right results in each participant, in a safe and very fun manner; constantly varied, intense, yet highly functional. Plus, it is learning which is accomplished together with other like-minded people who are on a similar path of discovery. This brings me to the community at this gym, which is second to none. Family friendly, with kids classes and even daycare, there is no healthier environment. The Risen Strength culture is displayed in the respectful and uplifting bonds built, member-coach and member-member, who of course seek betterment of one’s own fitness and health, yet who delight to see it achieved in others as well. RSCF is replete with genuine people who care about each other, who go through the short-term suffering, sweat and hard work together, in order to be able to celebrate results, take part in each other’s journey, and support each other. This cannot be forced or contrived; the culture is genuine and it starts at the top with David and Sara, who seem to have been made for the role of bringing out the best qualities in other people, and who cultivate this in their team of amazing coaches. I wish everybody could have this same kind of CrossFit experience, and be part of such an amazing community, but Risen Strength CF is an exceptionally rare find. So come give it a try.

Community is sooo incredibly good here :) everyone cares so much! They are super friendly.
I appreciate the time that they take to do the warm ups and walk us through the drills for us to be ready for gymnastics/weightlifting.
Also, Sara and David really care about people not getting hurt/injured during the workout and make sure that everyone feels safe and good with the movements that we do.

This is the best gym I have ever been to! David and Sara are always so caring, nice, and helpful with everything. The coaches are all knowledgeable and supportive. The people there really are all like family, the way everyone cheers for and lifts up each other. I have had a lot of trials over the year I have been going there and I’m extremely happy with the way I was always still supported and all the adjustments that had to be made for me to continue going there they did with no problem. It doesn’t matter what level your fitness is, they work well with everyone and make sure you’re ok. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete I highly recommend giving this place a try! Even if you don’t think crossfit is for you (I didn’t either at first) I highly recommend giving this place a try! Plus they make everything super fun, which makes it easy to want to go. You really can’t get any better!

Great coaching, great people, fun times.
Dave is a very energetic and knowledgeable coach. He has a passion for CrossFit, performance, and people. There are all types of people from all walks of life in this box - the constant is that they are all friendly, engaging, and supportive.
Even with 10 people in a glass, you are getting one on one coaching and instruction while having the benefit of group setting. It's not easy pushing yourself in this box all the time, but we all genuinely care about each other and have fun outside of the box as well. Be prepared to challenge yourself and you will enjoy.

This is a great CrossFit gym. The coach, David, is awesome. He is super friendly and knowledge. The gym is large, clean, even has childcare options. Everyone in the group is friendly and nice. A good group of people of all skill levels.
The class sizes are limited, which is nice, it doesn't get over crowded. The WODs during the week are a good challenge. I look forward to Saturday's workouts which are team workouts. They are always fun.
I would highly recommend this gym to anyone of all ages and levels.
