Our Story

Wild Rise started with a simple belief: people are stronger when they reconnect with nature, challenge themselves and become part of a supportive community.

What began as a small outdoor training group in South Wales has grown into something far bigger than fitness alone.

Today, Wild Rise brings together people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities through outdoor strength training, trail running, adventure sessions and shared experiences in the hills, forests and trails of South Wales.

Many of our members joined feeling nervous, unfit or unsure of what they were capable of. Through consistent training, encouragement and community support, they've discovered new confidence, improved their fitness and achieved things they never thought possible.

At its heart, Wild Rise isn't about perfect fitness or competition.

It's about showing up, embracing the outdoors, supporting each other and becoming stronger together.

Built in nature. Driven by community.

Together, our coaches bring years of experience in physical fitness, running, and helping people reach their potential.

Every session is designed to challenge, support, and uplift — no matter where you start.
