Whatever your ability level, age, gender, or other defining characteristics you may adhere to, training at Ascension will kick your ass.

Despite the variety of individuals that make up the devoted clientele, Ian takes the time to individually assess and provide programming for each and every one. It appears, that so long as Ian is torturing some (albeit reluctant) individual he is happy. Not only are we challenged physically, but emotionally and mentally. Ian has cultivated a community that is entirely unique to his facility and doles out suffering to all.

His ability to address (and belittle) any manner of injury is uncanny. No matter how many practitioners you may have seen, or how hopeless you may feel your diagnosis is, Ian will pick you up, dust you off, and set you on the appropriate path to full recovery via a combination of sarcasm and inappropriate humor that stems from a seemingly endless wealth of knowledge.

Being welcomed into this tribe of passionate individuals led by a (possibly sadistic) gym gremlin has helped reclaim my body and rekindle my passion for my sports.
