Rise 828

RISE 828 is more than a gym—it is a community built to help people discover their strength, develop their talents, and create new opportunities. Located in Asheville, North Carolina, RISE 828 brings together combat sports, fitness, youth development, live entertainment, creative arts, entrepreneurship, and community outreach under one roof. We provide a welcoming space where athletes, artists, families, veterans, young people, and local businesses can train, perform, collaborate, and grow. Our mission is to remove barriers, amplify overlooked voices, and give people the training, resources, mentorship, and platform they need to rise. Whether someone steps through our doors to become a stronger athlete, build a business, showcase their art, find community, or simply believe in themselves again, RISE 828 exists to help them move forward. We are building more than a facility. We are building a place where potential becomes purpose—and where the entire community can rise together.
