Testimonials

Join Our Vibrant Community Today

Being a member of Ascent is truly one of my favorite things about living in Tacoma! I absolutely love going to class. I have seen noticeable improvements in my strength since being a member, and I am always energized and happy after class. The community is so warm and friendly, the space is beautiful, and the workouts are varied and challenging. I feel welcomed and supported, and I literally always leave class in a good mood.
Meara
What I appreciate about Ascent is that their training sessions are for all individuals no matter what size you are, your experience, your age, etc. Each workout emphasizes the importance of stretching, form, and technique. The workouts are fun and challenging. With its small class sizes, you really get to know all of the coaches and peers week to week. I've dabbled in other group trainings, but I never have felt a sense of belonging and community like I do at Ascent. There is no judgment; just encouragement from the coaches and your peers.
Tabitha
Emma and the Ascent staff made me feel welcome and accepted immediately. My workouts were tailored to fit my needs and great care was taken to address any pain. After a few months of training, I can say that I have gained confidence in all aspects of my life. I am more willing to try new things, and have more trust in my body.
