“Becky is easily one of the most knowledgeable and accomplished trainers in our area. I began training with her 5 years ago and never looked back!

Becky keeps things interesting and hold me accountable to my goals. She always incorporates fun and novel approaches to training so I never get bored. She checks in with me regularly between sessions and provides home workouts if I have to miss a training session that week. Her communication is great and she is quick to respond to texts, calls and emails.

Becky expertly caters workouts to physical limitations and minor injuries. She safely trained me through my entire pregnancy and recommended a gentle postpartum regimen until I was ready to get back to the gym. Even on the days I struggled and felt like giving up, Becky gently encouraged me forward.  She is literally the only reason I continued strength training during that time!

From a professional standpoint as a family physician and yoga teacher,  I am confident in her ability to work with people of all ages and fitness levels and I would not hesitate to refer friends, family or patients to her.

Becky is supportive and pushes me to be better; it is great knowing that she has my back during my fitness journey. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to begin or maintain a healthier lifestyle!”

“When I started with Becky Ray almost a year ago my goals were pretty straightforward I wanted to be able to easily to get up and down off the floor so I could change my then one years diaper.

I worked really hard on my fitness during pregnancy but then post partum I got really behind on those goals I was just trying to make it through the day often fueling my body with caffeine and sugar.

Training with Becky has made me so much stronger mentally and physically, I needed some one to hold me accountable!

For anyone who is looking for a coach who will stick with you and is in it for the long haul call Arise Coaching & Athletics.”

“I have always been an active person. Throughout both high school and college I always found different ways to keep moving - whether it was working out by myself or with a team, there was always something. After college and many injuries, staying active became really difficult. Exercising with Becky has helped change that. Any time I say “I can’t do that,” she responds with “how can we modify and change it for you?” Becky is incredibly patient and encouraging. Working with her has given me back the confidence to be active.”

“Becky is completely dedicated to her passion for helping others be the best they can be. Throughout my experience working with Becky when she was a trainer at the gym, she was always prepared and focused on my goals. I always felt that she was truly engaged in my individual progress. I also appreciated that she shared her knowledge not only of fitness but nutrition and activities away from personal training that would help me on my journey. Becky is a hardworking, caring person that I truly enjoyed working alongside.”

“If you need help getting motivated to stay fit or you're not sure where to start Becky Ray at Arise Coaching & Athletics can help. She's very encouraging and works with you where you are at in your fitness/health level.  She does one on one sessions in her gym so you don't need to worry about a bunch of people watching you train. Her gym truly is a "judgement free zone". :P

I go once a week to her gym and she creates a plan for me to do at home the rest of the week.  When I started I told her I'd try it for two months and if I didn't put the work in I would stop - I've not missed a workout yet and I just finished two months.

…She tailors the workouts to my specific needs/challenges.  Having the accountability to someone makes a huge difference for me and having the workout schedule prepared for me makes it doable with my schedule.  If you're looking for that help on your fitness journey reach out to Becky she's great.”

“For years, I've been casually working out with a slowly growing home gym. But as the weights increased, I eventually got to the point where I started injuring myself on a pretty regular basis (like every week or two). I hired Becky at Arise Coaching & Athletics to train me in the proper form, and over the last 4 months, I haven't had a single injury. She was professional, non-judgmental, and willing to meet me where I was at, and I've learned hundreds of new exercises and several new styles of training along the way. My only regret is that I didn't get this training years ago, back when I first started.”

“I joined [the gym] in early June 2019 after having stem cell injections in both knees in lieu of a knee replacement. I had quit working out 5 years ago because of the pain in my knees. To make the injections work I knew I had to rebuild the muscles in my legs. I decided a person trainer was the way to go and I was given Becky Ray, what a delight!  Becky was very professional, very knowledgeable and always had a sunny disposition!  I trained with Becky three days a week for five months. It is like night and day from the first time I walked in to my last session (going to Arizona for the winter). She knew exactly what areas needed attention and I am a new person because of her help!  I can’t thank Becky enough for giving me my strength back and encouragement to do better. Such a positive experience all around…  I will be back at the club in the Spring and with Becky!”

“Becky has been a tremendous coach and trainer in the past year for us. She created a personal program that enabled us to lose 15lbs and lower our cholesterol level by 24 mg/dL in 1 year.  Becky is very pleasant and conducts our sessions with a high level of professionalism. We feel great and recommend Becky to anyone interested in improving their overall physical fitness with positive results.”
