How We’re Different

Most fitness plans rely on mechanical thinking: load in, results out.
We work with your body’s built-in intelligence its ability to learn, adjust, and grow.

  • Precision Assessment – Before programming
  • Training that evolves – Based on YOUR response
  • Education built in – You understand the “why”
  • Strength + Movement + Awareness

Private Training

The Most Efficient Hour of Your Week

Your body has a history—work stress, past injuries, tight hips, old patterns. You don’t need a generic workout. You need coaching that understands how real people actually move.

Smarter Coaching for Busy, High-Demand Lives

We handle the assessment, planning, and progression so you don’t have to. You show up, train effectively, and leave feeling better.

The Long-Game Approach to a Strong, Capable Body

Strength shouldn’t cost you pain or burnout. Real progress comes from training that adapts to your life and your body. We prioritize longevity—building strength, durable joints, and better movement through intelligent progression, not short-term intensity.

I created Ascent after seeing capable people trapped in one-size-fits-all training.
We start by understanding you, your body, your patterns, and your goals.
Movement quality becomes the foundation, shaping how you train and how you live.

What Clients Say
  • Foundations – Remote

I was skeptical about online coaching, but it ended up being more thorough than any in-person training I’ve done. The results proved it.

Justin

Goals: Fitness & Sport Performance

  • Ongoing Client – In person

I’m now far more aware of how my body moves especially in my golf game and the focused exercises have strengthened key weak spots. His tailored plans, clear communication, and expert adjustments consistently exceed expectations.

E –

Goals: Fitness & Golf Performance

  • Ongoing Client – In Person

Two years in, and the programming still evolves with me. I’ve gotten stronger, improved my posture, and finally built real stamina. Julio has a long-term plan, but he’s always able to pivot based on what my body needs that day.

G –

Goals: Fitness & Functional Movement

  • Ascent + Custom – Remote

For the first time, I understand why each exercise matters and that changed everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Foundations establishes the baseline and frameworks essential for long-term success in the Ascent system. While not absolutely required, it’s strongly recommended for anyone new to our approach. We make exceptions for clients with extensive training backgrounds on a case-by-case basis.

Your initial assessment determines your training environment. We design programs around whatever equipment you have available—full gym, home setup, or minimal equipment. The Ascent Foundation program offers both full-gym and bodyweight versions.

Life happens. In-person sessions require 24-hour cancellation notice for in person sessions. Monthly subscriptions can be paused or adjusted—contact us to discuss options. Programs must be completed within one year of purchase.

Most clients notice improved strength and movement quality within 3-4 weeks. Visible physique changes typically appear within 8-12 weeks with consistent training and nutrition. More importantly, you’ll understand WHY your body is responding—that clarity is immediate.

Foundations (in-person) is a 10-session immersive experience at our Gilbert studio. The 90-Day programs deliver similar outcomes remotely—structured transformation with coaching touchpoints throughout. Same quality of assessment and personalization, different delivery method.

Yes. Many clients start with Foundations in-person, then continue with Ascent + Custom remotely. Others do the 90-Day Virtual, then transition to Private Training when schedules allow. We design for flexibility.
