Ascend Fitness Personal Training - Lake Mary (FL)

5 /5 Zach Trimble: Jesse and Chase are fantastic trainers who get to know you on a personal level to help you hit your fitness goals. Ive been with them for over 6 months and have made more progress than ever before. They also recently have been doing many renovations and adding more value to your subscription. Group sessions have awesome diversity of people you get to progress with. I cannot recommend Ascend enough

5 /5 LeaRae Webb: I had been suffering with knee issues for about a year before my knee replacement surgery actually took place. My activity level during that time had been severely limited which led to my overall body strength and endurance being significantly reduced. After my surgery, my strength continued to degrade for the rest of my body and my shoulders became somewhat hunched. I was released from physical therapy eight weeks after my surgery. At that point, I could straighten and bend my leg to the doctor’s required specifications, walk unassisted, walk up and down one step while maintaining a death grip on the banister, and do a few minimal strength related tests but my knee was nowhere near strong enough to return to normal activities. I had always done HIIT/Bootcamp type workouts and I wasn’t able to do the majority of the moves in those workouts because of my knee. I decided to work with a personal trainer to help continue to strengthen my leg and body and to improve my endurance. Jesse and I decided on a personal training regimen of 3–30-minute workouts a week for 12 weeks to work on overall strengthening of my leg as well as the rest of my body and my overall conditioning. After those 12 weeks working with Jesse and Chase, I am very pleased with my results. Before I started with Jesse and Chase, I could not stand for very long without my leg hurting. I had difficulty walking down hills. I walked up and down steps like a toddler, always using the same leg to raise up or lower down. I couldn’t sit or stand without using something for assistance and I was still favoring my right leg so my gait was off and my squats were uneven. During my training regimen, they used a variety of different exercises to strengthen my body and were always able to adapt exercises when my knee would not allow me to do an exercise they originally planned. They started slow and built up as I became stronger. They worked me hard but always made sure not to overdo my knee. They corrected my posture, my gait and my squats. I am now able to stand for extended periods without my leg hurting, walk up and down steps and hills with no problem. I can sit without assistance and stand from most seats without having to use my hands to assist. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that is looking to recover from knee replacement surgery.

5 /5 Ines Bonilla: I have been trying to get my health back on track for years, between excuses, lack of motivation, accountability, and not knowing what to do or where to start, I was the queen of falling short and procrastination! I decided, Im All In, put my pride aside, and took my nervous/anxious ridden body and mind in to Ascend. Coach Chase and Coach Jesse had me Day 1. From the welcoming attitude, to brutal honesty, to motivation...I had to give it a try. Im so glad I did. The accountability, motivation, and community they coach through the workouts exudes in the family you create in the gym, I have met some amazing people. I have been pushed and held accountable and everything hurts....I wouldnt trade it! Learning valuable skills for life as we practice whole body workouts! Rise Up!

5 /5 Susi Rivera: Being healthy has always been my priority, and out of the many gyms Ive tried, Ascend stands out as the place where Ive made the most progress. The small training groups are ideal for me as they allow me to accomplish focused and highly effective workouts that are also brief. Yay!!!!!!! When I travel, I use the app to do my workouts, and Jesse and Chase keep me motivated with their constant guidance and support, no matter what! How much my life has improved at Ascend! It fills me with physical and emotional strength, enthusiasm, and, above all, happiness. Yep, happiness!
