about us

serving the Hampstead area as your guide on the journey to a healthier, happier self

our mission

We are not just a fitness program. At Rising Tide Fitness we are a vehicle for life change. Anyone that has been a member at Rising Tide Fitness for more than a few months can testify to the unique environment that is fostered by our coaching staff and our community.

This place has become a “third place” for many of our members outside of the work and home life.

It’s a place they come to unwind, work off stress and know that they can be their true authentic self.

No matter what your background is, your age, race, religion, or political beliefs… In this gym, we are all on the same journey of improving our health and fitness. In this gym we root for each other, push each other through difficult times, and celebrate breakthroughs both physical and mental. In this gym, we all may look and act a little different but still we are all part of the Rising Tide Fitness family!

The small ripple effect that occurs from nurturing happier healthier humans, extends from gym life to the world around us.

OUR MISSION:

TO PROVIDE

positive & challenging environments promoting health, fitness, well being & community

our story

“What is Rising Tide Fitness?” A community space where you can work out and feel safe, welcomed, and motivated. A fitness center where the equipment is up-to-date and well maintained. A state-of-the-art facility where you can lift and build a stronger version of yourself. The best gym in Hampstead, NC. Our town is a beautiful place to ride, walk, or run around, but when it’s time to implement strength training, why leave the area? Rising Tide Fitness is located right in the middle of Hampstead off of Highway 17. We are here, and we are open 24/7 for our members! Rising Tide Fitness is the family gym of choice in Hampstead.

Kelli Ramsey

Personal Trainer/STRENGTH & CONDITIONING SPECIALIST

The aspect I love most about training is watching my clients become stronger and more confident than they ever thought possible. Watching athletes improve in their sport, or seeing a client return from an injury or illness stronger than ever inspires me to continue learning and training. I have been an athlete most of my life. My education includes a BA in mathematics. I became an NSCA CSCS in 2017, and I have competed in USAPL powerlifting meets. My focus is barbell training for all ages.

Sarah Plant

Nutrition Coach

I’m Sarah! I am the owner and head coach of Nowa Nutrition. I currently work full time as a Crime Scene Technician in Wilmington. Over 10 years ago, I started my fitness and nutrition journey. Working in a stressful field, weight training became my stress relief. I’ve had my ups and downs, tried just about every diet under the sun. I’ve had to restore both my gut health and hormone balance during different times in my life. I was always curious about proper metabolic function, so I recently enrolled in a few courses to become more deeply educated in proper nutrition for optimal body functions, hormone balance, and gut health. I am certified as PN1 through Precision Nutrition, and currently working toward my Nutritional Coaching Institute Level 1 and Level 2. I also have a background in thyroid and gut health education. I have a Bachelors of Science in Forensic Science with a concentration in Biology. I’m excited to use my scientific background to solve the problems seen in clients in order to maximize their lifestyles.
