About Ascend Fitness
Welcome! Ascend is a functional fitness gym for men and women of all ages and fitness levels. We program our weekly classes to include weightlifting, agility, and cardio and we do it in a way that gets you in and out in an hour or less! Come in and check out a class at Ascend Fitness!
At Ascend Fitness, we concentrate on physical fitness in the most direct and practical sense. We don’t seek to transform you into world class athletes (unless that’s what you want), but to help you gain strength, flexibility, agility, balance and endurance by way of reasonable and sustainable physical activity. We are all about the long game.
If an athlete trains for a sport, they must train in a specific way in order to optimally compete. At Ascend, we train you to physically thrive in daily life. Well programmed strength training, core work, speed drills, plyometrics, cardio, stretching and more are fundamental to human movement. Consistently performing these activities in Ascend’s classes will not only make you feel and look better, but you’ll sleep better, have more energy, reduce chances of injury and illness, and increase your health and quality of life in general.
Our modern world makes choosing weakness easy. Don’t choose the path of least resistance, but the path that makes you the best version of yourself. We’d love to join you on your journey, and help guide your ascension.
