Evidence-Based Performance

Evidence-Based Performance

Science-Driven, Individualized, Results-Focused

Ascendus Performance was designed to bring a strong scientific influence to traditional strength and conditioning. We believe effective training is more than simply following established methods—it is about understanding the why behind each exercise, identifying the details that matter, and applying them to the individual.

Our methodology is informed by the latest scientific evidence in sports performance, exercise science, and strength and conditioning. We bridge research and practical application to create training strategies that are not only evidence-informed, but also effective in the real world.

We are a primarily online, results-driven training service that provides several month-long exercise programs with counseling on training principles such as exercise progression, macronutrition, and technique optimization. Our model allows for constant oversight and communication with your strength coach to maximize your performance. Whether it’s in the form of video conferences, emails, or text messaging, your coach is never far away. We also offer other resources such as in-peerson group s&c sessions, monthly blog posts discussing science-informed training, and an exercise video library.

No two plans are ever going to be the same, because no two people are the same. Your strength coach will work diligently with you to design the appropriate program to create lasting adaptations and improve your performance in sport, the gym, and everyday lift.

Train with purpose. Train with precision. Ascend beyond your potential.
