Our Story

After finding success in opening Crossfit Anistemi in 2015, James and Angelia Vassel quickly realized that it was more than a gym to the members…it was becoming a safe place for a broken and hurting community. It became a family, full of people who are all going through their own journeys and hardships in life, coming together to support each other not only in the gym but outside of it.

That is when the dream of having an all-inclusive holistic “one-stop shop” facility for all things mental, emotional, and physical wellness. After years of mentoring and providing outside services for mental health, James and Angelia decided to take steps to become an official non-profit and in 2020 Rise Up Family Wellness was born.

Within the Crossfit Facility, Rise Up Family Wellness provides the following services for both adolescents and adults, family and individuals:

-Neurofeedback Therapy

-Fitness Classes

-Nutrition

-Mentorship

-Parenting Classes

-Life Skills

There are hundreds of studies that link the effects between mental health and physical health, and that is why we believe so heavily in this model. Years of providing services to the holistic self along with the community support has yielded incredible results with members of the gym. We believe this can do the same for you!

Whether you are a family who could use some support or someone struggling with addiction or sexual trauma, we can individualize a program for you.

Our goal is to be the Amazon of holistic wellness
