The Ascend Fit philosophy
If you’re looking for a “quick fix” or “instant results”, we aren’t the gym for you.
Your health and fitness journey will have its ups and downs – especially when life throws you curve balls. Prioritising your health and fitness long-term is a choice – and we do everything we can to help make the journey fun, challenging, and rewarding.
Innovative programming
Well-designed workouts are our core focus.
We’ve spent years testing and refining our programming, so you can be sure you're getting the most out of every session.
Constant learning
Every body is unique.
That’s why we encourage our members to learn as much as they can about their bodies – it’s the only way to find out what works best for you.
Lifelong connections
Exercise is better with great people.
At Ascend Fit, you’ll find people – just like you – doing their best to be a little bit better every day.

I’m a huge fan of Ascend Fit - I love how it fits into my life easily and I’ve received some of the best training advice. I also feel the fittest and strongest I've ever felt and now have goals for the next 12 months.
