Calling all cyclists: You may want to check out the newest fitness offering in downtown Glen Ellyn when it opens in the next week.

Once the studio officially opens, cycling classes will be offered early in the morning, during the day and in the evenings; two types of classes are currently planned -- an intense one-hour session designed for the serious cyclist and a 45-minute ride followed by 15-minutes of strength training for those interested in combining cardio with weights work all within one hour

RISE has been serving the Glen Ellyn community for more than two years with group fitness classes first taught out of Sunshine Dance Studio’s space for 10 months, followed by the opening of the dedicated RISE Fitness Studio in May 2014.
