As long as you aren’t against a little hard work, this is the place for you.

When I first joined Ascension, I was struggling to find a sense of purpose and direction for myself. Up to that point, training and sport had always given me the outlet and the confidence I needed to thrive in other areas of my life; but then I lost that. The stresses of life, running a business, simply feeling lost in my mid-20’s, it all caught up to me.

Before joining Ascension, I was more or less just going through the motions with no intent or sense of why I was doing all the things that I was. Ian has really given me the perspective and the support I’ve needed to steer myself back in the right direction. He is there not to just guide you through your training, but to listen to you when you need to be heard. Ian and the community at Ascension have instilled that confidence I’ve always craved with training, which has allowed me to find a direction for myself outside of the gym. If there’s anywhere community and support is emphasized, it’s Ascension. As long as you aren’t against a little hard work, this is the place for you.
