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.

Receiving training services from somebody who you might only know through a computer screen can seem a bit off-putting at first. However, there are several key aspects that separate Ascendus Performance with other online fitness providers. From the very beginning, you will receive guided movement assessments that will be analyzed by our specialists. We will also work with you to determine a proper nutrition plan to ensure you are fueling your body adequately. Once an exercise program is developed and explained to you, weekly check-ins will be scheduled to ensure proper oversight and guidance. You are not just limited to one check-in per week - you can reach out as many times as you want whether that be through text message, email, or video conference. All work outs are monitored and logged using the free app Hevy. After each work out is complete, the data from Hevy can be shared with your coach in order to ensure maximum oversight. We care the most about our clients having full access to our services, and we will work tirelessly with you to update your plan and maximize your progress.
