I love this gym. I have been going for ten months and have grown a ton of strength, knowledge of my body, and confidence with weights. They are true to their motto of ‘Move with Joy.’ The coaches are positive and supportive, and they build a sense of community alongside the workouts. I appreciate that modifications are offered for every movement, allowing me to keep building my fitness safely even while doing physical therapy for an ongoing injury. Tacoma is better and brighter because of Ascent fitness. ❤️✨💪🏻Posted on Google Melanie Harding Sometimes the most meaningful changes are those that sneak up on you—little shifts that build and build until suddenly you’re doing things you haven’t done in years, or have never done before. And gosh, even after only two months at Ascent (after being terrified to return to a gym post-injury/long hiatus away) I have indeed been changed by this place and these people. From purposefully not having mirrors in the studio, to never seeing pointed stares or hearing diet talk whispered in corners, to realizing that with each hello and conversation that I’ve been consistently, authentically, and playfully supported—I feel not only stronger but more excited; reminded of what my body can do and that I can, in fact, feel joy in movement again. So thankful to have found this community 💗Posted on Google Hannah H. I love this space. Great, challenging workouts. Compassionate, knowledgeable coaches. Fun community. Super approachable fitness. Cannot recommend enough.Posted on Google Casey Carrion-Orrell If you are looking for a body positive, workout positive, every-type-of-person-positive place to move your bones - look no further than Ascent Fitness. The coaches and support staff here make me feel amazing, every workout, every session! You'll thank yourself for signing up!Posted on Google Jeffrey Froome Such an amazing gym! Moved to Tacoma recently and was nervous about finding my new gym. No worries now, only appreciation. Ascent is inclusive, supportive and truly a community. The classes are rewarding and make me feel stronger after each one. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone!!Posted on Google Jennifer Weitz Ascent offers everything I have wished for in a gym - body positivity/neutrality, no toxic diet culture, inclusivity, and respect for where everyone is at in their fitness journey. I feel both supported and challenged by each coach I’ve worked with. I really appreciate their ‘gradual approach’ to joining their gym. It gave me time to build confidence and learn form before jumping into group classes. So helpful for preventing injury! Their demos of movements and the ways you can adjust them during classes are so helpful and speak to how they want you to move and take care of yourself without judgement.Posted on Google Jamie Romberg Ascent Fitness is a welcoming space for anyone looking to improve their strength and personal health. The four coaches I have worked with so far are all quite knowledgeable and helpful with giving corrections and keeping everyone safe and supported during the sessions. So happy to have found this fitness community to improve my functional strength!Posted on Google Carol Munsey
