My 12 year old daughter, Hailey, has absolutely loved training with both Kristen and Evan! The speed and agility was challenging yet so fun! And the soccer training was top notch! Hailey would ask right when we got in the car when she’d be able to go back next! It was a great way to keep her skills up in the offseason and once our schedule opens up again, she’ll be back! Keep up the great work!

Kristen helped my daughter’s strength, speed, and soccer skills. Working with Kristen has been a great experience for her.

I work out with Kristen and truly look forward to our sessions. She pushes me in a way that encourages me to keep going without quitting. Not pushy, but authentic,firm, and consistent. Not to mention, I have a good time and don’t really like working out so that’s huge for me and why I keep coming back!

I started training with Ascend in December 2025 and I'm seeing great results. Evan is professional, knowledgeable and patient as I'm starting from not having worked out in years. I had aTKR in 2017 where the PT didn't go well. With Evans training I'm getting better mobility than I've had in years while also working on the total body. I would truly recommend Ascend Performance Training.

My daughter worked with Coach Evan during summer 2025. I was very happy with his communication and how he was able to work with her! Her leg strength definitely improved! Coach Evan was great to work with and I'd absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for knee strength and stability improvement.

My son did Ascend's speed training as part of his baseball team last year and loved it. He was coming off a broken foot the prior summer and the program helped to get him back up to speed. He really enjoyed working with the trainers and gained a lot of strength to.

Have tried many times to add strength to my exercise routine, but would either overdo it and lose motivation or underdo it and lose interest. Evan has focused on constructing a sustainable but challenging approach while helping me navigate and alleviate the inevitable aches and pains. Really glad to have found Ascend Training.

Working out with Evan in the morning is the high point of my day. In just a short amount of time, I’ve lost weight, increased strength, and feel a new bounce in my step. Evan/Ascend get my highest recommendation!

LOVE working with Ascend.Everything is very tailored to my experience level and I've been improving with the very personalized and kind training. I have rarely experienced such unconditional support and gentle pushing to be my best.The work I do there has brought me a lot of confidence and has greatly improved my health and mobility.It's great to go to the gym and KNOW I'm going to be cared for, listened to, and gently encouraged to do more than I EVER thought I could.Thanks for being part of my new life after too many years of illness, inactivity and fear.

I’ve been training with Evan at Ascend for a few years now. Evan is super goal oriented, which has been key to turn the generic objective of “get stronger” into reality. I have knee discomfort in certain movements from past injuries, and Evan is an expert in finding adjustments so that I can do whatever lifts I want without discomfort or risk of re-injury. He is also a great training partner on a personal level, I look forward to our training sessions and often leave feeling like I got a great workout and a good conversation with a friend in at the same time.

As very senior citizens, we highly value our training with Evan Johnson. He works on our flexibility and core strength as well as arm and leg strength. He balances his gentle encouragement to do our best with the sensitivity to know when we need a breather.

2025-07-19T23:59:13.473Z

We are so happy we found this place! My daughter has been doing one-on-one soccer training and speed & agility sessions as she’s worked her way back from an injury. Kristen has been absolutely amazing! She is supportive, knowledgeable, and focused on helping her rebuild and strengthen her skills. In just one month we’ve seen real progress. She also really enjoys working with Maddie on speed and agility, those sessions have been great for her confidence and conditioning. Our experience has been wonderful and we’re excited to keep going!

2025-07-15T18:28:09.379Z

I have seen such growth in my daughter both physically and mentally since attending Ascend Performance Training! Ascend has aided her in feeling more confident on the field!

2025-03-31T00:34:24.475Z

I’ve been working with Kristen for 2 months on nutrition and strength training after just having a baby and overall it’s been a really great experience. She makes it easy for me to track my food and stay accountable. Kristen has also made custom workouts that’s not only helped me strengthen my core but regain my confidence when going to a gym. I’ve been able to not only see the progress through photos, inches and weight loss but from a mental standpoint Kristen has also helped me to better prioritize my overall health. She’s also helped me with making better food choices, meal prepping, planning ahead, getting in additional steps and more all while returning back to work and being a mom of 2! Thank you Kristen! If you’re looking for someone to challenge you to be more consistent, instill healthy food habits, feel confident, change your body composition, lose weight/inches and improve your overall health Kristen is definitely the right person for you!

My 8 year old daughter works with Kristen for soccer skills and just general movement training for fun and to keep her active and she absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back. Evan and Kristen have such a wide assortment of skills from youth sports training to adult fall prevention— this is a one stop shop!

2025-03-16T18:23:26.488Z

Kristin is the best. Very involved with my two girls, gives feedback consistently as well as listens to what they are looking for. Would highly recommend

2025-03-02T17:42:36.156Z

Evan has been my trainer for 1 1/2 years. What I really appreciate is that he figures out what is best to meet my needs.I’m 82 and I would recommend him to anyone.

2025-02-18T23:04:04.468Z

I definitely felt a difference from when i started and finished the program. Evan was a great coach through the whole process. Definitely a good place to rehab and become stronger.

2025-02-08T13:26:53.398Z

My 15 year old son is training to get back to sport after ACL knee repair. Evan has been great with him and he's just about ready. After months of physical therapy he needed to strengthen and extend his range of motion. This has been great for him. We highly recommend for post recovery return to sport!

2025-01-16T04:25:46.287Z

Evan was fantastic, and I can't recommend him enough.When I set up my first session with him, my plan was to meet with him about 3-5 times over a month or two to help get me familiar with what kind of strength training I should be doing, and to help me with my form.He was SO good, I ended up having working with him for well over a year. Honestly, I wish I could use him indefinitely. I'm not worried, though, as he taught me so much that I feel very confident on the path he set me down.If I had to single out a few things that I think set Evan apart, they would have to be:1 - He gets to know you and what you are hoping to accomplish. Then he dynamically sets up plan to help you meet those goals. He knows so much that he can make small or large adjustments to accommodate various issues you might have like range of motion concerns or minor injuries.2 - He doesn't just have you train, he TEACHES you how and why you are doing what you're doing. He helps you get to know your body, and helps you understand how and why everything works, so you can make adjustments on your own.3 - He's just a really kind, easy to talk to guy. Had to great time talking with him about everything ranging from family to sports to board games to music to vacations and pretty much everything in between during our brief downtime between sets (when he wasn't answering my numerous questions about the training we were doing that day).

2025-01-07T23:59:30.237Z

Ascend personal training is the best. I couldn't give a higher recommendation.

Evan is a spectacular trainer. He has made workouts fun and now I am addicted to them. I have doubled my strength in 9 months and am extremely pleased how my body shape has improved. Thanks Evan!

2024-10-03T14:17:58.665Z

Evan provided me with a set of exercises to improve my stability as requested. He was timely, professional, caring, and followed-up. He unprompted refunded part of the fee I paid him after he determined that I had overpaid. I will recommend him to anyone.

2024-07-25T01:26:34.804Z

Couldn’t recommend Kristen more! Teaching me sustainable ways to eat, workout, rest, and adapt life.From pushing me to up my weight in lifting to teaching me the importance of balanced food - I couldn’t recommend her more. Feeling stronger than I have felt in a long time!

2024-05-13T16:33:31.527Z

For the longest time I’ve struggled with my self image. I’ve tried almost every weight loss product and workout plan known to man but nothing seemed to keep the weight off and I felt like I was starving myself.I needed to find something easy to follow that had structure showed me what to do and when to do it and targeted what I needed it to. That’s when I came across a Facebook post from a friend and her husband who owned Ascend Training, and since I tried everything else I figured it couldn’t hurt to give them a try.I am halfway through my training program and I absolutely LOVE it. The workouts are amazing and geared to specifically for your goals and they are super easy to follow.The trainers are with you every step of the way giving advice when needed and most importantly they are like your own personal cheering section and you don’t have to “starve” yourself.Currently I’ve lost 10lbs and still going. I highly recommend giving them a shot, especially if you’re like me and nothing seems to be working.Stacey W

I really enjoy training with Evan! From the very beginning he established goals for our sessions and we continue to work towards meeting those goals. Evan is a great listener and an even better teacher. Every training session I leave feeling like I have gotten the very most out of it! I highly recommend Evan!

2024-04-12T16:37:44.161Z

I’ve trained with Evan two mornings a week for about a year and a half, and I love the results! I’ve gained more muscle, lost fat, and have a better mental outlook about my health, fitness and overall wellness. Even though our workouts are early in the morning, Evan always shows up with a smile on his face, words of encouragement, and of course, ways to challenge me. He tracks my progress (weight, reps, measurements, etc) and creates different exercise plans for me each time so it never gets boring. All I have to do is show up with a positive attitude and do the work. It’s been a fantastic journey so far! I highly recommend him - even my 84 year old dad works out with him!

2024-04-06T21:47:35.200Z

This has been a whole new journey for me. I was completely ignorant about all things gym oriented. Evan has been fantastic to work with - meets me where I am. And wow on results! Much more limber and measurably stronger. Can’t recommend this process - and Evan - enough!
