The gym itself has the perfect amount and types of equipment, but the coaches are what make it perfect. Matt and Anna are so knowledgeable, passionate, caring, and fun, they have not only helped me learn so much about strength training and different types of exercises, but they’ve also helped me enjoy exercising for the first time ever!

In addition to Anna and Matt's obvious passion about fitness, is that Ascent is perfect whether you are a regular at the gym, or just taking that first step toward your health and fitness. It's such a great atmosphere, and a fun, relaxed environment, you sometimes forget your "working. "And if you've ever balked at what some personal trainers charge, this is the place for you. All the benefits without the jaw- dropping cost. I highly recommend Ascent.

Ascent is truly the best gym I've ever been to. As a chronic "I'm going to get healthy this year" person, I've tried many different gyms and exercise programs throughout the years with little to no success. But Ascent is so different than other gyms. Matt and Anna are both incredibly knowledgeable coaches who take the time to get to know each member and their individual goals, and then they create amazing workout plans for you. They are extremely supportive and encouraging and are just genuinely nice people. They have created a very welcoming environment and community within their gym. I've never felt more motivated or stronger and it's all thanks to them!

I went to Ascent with a recommendation from my Nutritionist. With a complicated history with eating and exercise, she suggested it as an alternative; a place that isn't monotonous or shameful on how you look, but one with welcoming arms for all. I was skeptical at first, but my anxieties were quickly eliminated on my first meeting with Matt and Anna. These two are absolutely wonderful, inspiring people. They make you laugh, know your personal life, and are always seeing how they can help. I went with their personalized plan option, and I quickly found myself surpassing the weights I struggled with in the past. I was happily surprised which encouraged me to push harder. They understand the mechanics, ensure you're in the right position preventing injury, and want you to go at YOUR pace. Depending on my energy levels, I can easily modify workouts. This is for all those going, not just the personalized plans. I can't say I've ever looked forward to a workout, especially at a basic gym, but now I do not fear showing up.With all that being said, I can't recommend them enough. If you are looking to move your body without the negative stigma, give Ascent a try. You might just be pleasantly surprised. And they give you a week free, so no strings attached if its not your vibe. However, I think it just might be (:

Just had my 66th birthday. I've been working out with Matt and Anna for 7 months now. I've been a martial artist for over 25 years. Yet in the best physical condition that I've been in since I was in my early 20's. Consistently working out with them 3 days a week. Very well designed, interesting, individualized monthly programs that are modified as needed (prn).

I worked with Anna for about a year. She heard me and saw me and formulated a program that met and exceeded my needs. It stretched me with out breaking me. Anna move to Concord was a sad day for me, because the distance made it impossible to continue working with her. Anna knowledge, support, and focus is the best I have seen in my many years of having trainer. I would recommend Anna and team for any age group and in any physical shape.ThanksJerry Romanek

I'm in my third week of training and already feeling stronger! Matt and Anna designed a program based on what my specific goals are, and one of them is always on hand to answer questions, tweak my stance, challenge, or encourage me. I found my tribe!

I have never been a regular exerciser. For a myriad of reasons, I decided that I wanted to improve my health this year. I have tried working with a personal trainer in the past and found it to be an uncomfortable experience. A drill sargent type, who would not meet me at my fitness level, but overworked me until I could barely walk to the locker room. After a few years, I decided to give personal training another try. I found Ascent Training and Performance when I was searching for personal trainers near me, and I’m so thankful I did! I have felt respected and supported by both Coach Anna and Coach Matt from day one. They know my goals and are helping me get there. They know when to encourage you to try a little harder and when it’s better to go slow. There is never any shame in this gym. I have been going now for seven months, and, as I type this, I can’t believe I’ve stuck with any exercise regimen for so long. I’m seeing myself getting stronger and consistently surprised to learn I could do more than I ever thought. Moreover, ATP is a community. Every time I go, there are kind people to work out with and talk with. This gym is welcoming in every way.

Matt and Anna are great coaches that align with my values of coaching as well. They assess their clients prior to beginning any training program. This is huge! As a physical therapist referring clients to them, I completely trust the care that is given. We have been cohesively working together collaborating with client care now for a few years. I highly recommend them for helping anyone meet fitness goals as well as transitioning from rehabilitation back to training. They are also just wonderful human beings!

Ascent is incredible! The coaches are super knowledgeable and accommodating to all, and expand that knowledge even further to be able to provide specialized assistance from person to person. This is not a place where you will receive a cookie-cutter program that you have to try to make work for you. Instead, the coaches get to know you and your goals and create personalized programs which help you continue growth and strength month-to-month. The atmosphere that has been created by ascent is so incredibly helpful and positive, trainers and clients alike are super fun to be around. I had never truly strength trained before joining ascent and was skeptical of my abilities in doing so, but coaches Matt and Anna took the time to build my strength from the ground up and I am continually impressed with the progress that they have helped me make. Whether you are looking for small group personal training or more so of a class-style program, ascent is a fantastic choice!
