Ascend Fitness

Fantastic experience: Sean has been great with listening to your goals and setting up a routine around it. Very professional and motivating. Highly recommend him

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Sean for about 4 weeks and I have improved my strength and endurance tremendously. I have trained with a number of trainers and Sean is one of the best!He is attentive and pushes me to the next level. I appreciate that he is always changing the workout too. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: If 10 stars was an option it would be given here, over the last six month of attending Ascend my process has been amazing. Three jean sizes down, 21 pounds down. The atmosphere alone is amazing. Everyone of all ages are friends and are joined together. The programs are modified for everyone at different levels. Very inclusive. When I started I wanted a one-on-one experience but after joining I came to realize that the best was the group classes, everyone is family and friends and they care and encourage everyone on their own journey. A judgement free zone. I have gained confidence in my weightloss and Jesse's team was there to belive in me until I was ready to believe in myself.

Fantastic experience: Looking for a trainer with an in-depth understand of exercise science and nutrition, look no further!! Jesse is an incredible wealth of knowledge and will push you to accomplish things you never thought were possible. Can’t recommend enough!!

Fantastic experience: The staff has really stepped up their game too. Cannot be happier with everything that is going on at the studio.

Fantastic experience: Staff members are very helpful, they clean regularly. Sanitizer and paper towels are easily accessible.. overall nice atmosphere.. Considering the low price, this is a great gym

Fantastic experience: Ascend Fitness is not your average gym where you just one of many faces scanning in at the front desk. For those of you who would like a more personal approach to your workouts, this is the place for you! I joined Ascend Fitness a little over a year ago and immediately could tell their focus was on improving the body AND mind of their members. Their coaches are well-versed in exercise physiology and kinesiology as well as much of the psychology behind motivating others to reach their training goals. They reach out by phone to see how you are feeling after a particularly tough workout or to encourage your attendance if they haven’t seen you in a bit. It is a welcoming environment for people of all ages and exercise abilities offering group classes as well as personal training. It was definitely the right decision for me and I’m sure it will be for you too.

Fantastic experience: Ascend is a great place to work out! The owner, Coach Jesse, is very encouraging and he really cares. Coach Elena is personable and takes the time to know each member's body and goals. When I got hurt, outside of the gym, Coach Jesse and Elena did everything they could to help me transition back into a work out plan safely. The atmosphere is very warm, motivating and positive. I am happy that my partner introduced me to this place .

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Everyone here is great, staff and the people who participate! You make some real friends here! I love the atmosphere everyone brings! Totally recommend:)

Fantastic experience: I just finished a 12 week course with Ascend Fitness and it was absolutely great! It was a different type of training that I'm used to and I learned a great amount of information in such a short period of time. The knowledge the trainers have is incredible, always answering my many questions. It was no time before I started seeing results and I can honestly say that it's way easier to keep up with this type of training moving forward. I would definitely continue going if I weren't moving out of the area. The facility was very clean and the trainers were absolutely great, I'm so glad I followed my doctor's recommendation by going to Ascend Fitness and having the opportunity of meeting everyone.

Fantastic experience: Ascend Fitness is a phenomenal place to not only transform your body but your mind as well. Jesse is an incredible coach who will go above and beyond to ensure that you meet your goals, equipped with his expert knowledge of anatomy, fitness, and nutrition. Whether through group training, personal training, or virtual training, you will make strides into leading a more fruitful and healthier life. I highly encourage you to give Ascend Fitness a try if you are craving change for the better.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Jesse and Elena are by far fantastic people and trainers that have both helped me on my weight loss journey. Ascend has been and will continue to be where I choose to peruse my fitness, and I’m excited to see where my journey will lead.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for about 5 months now, and I absolutely love it. The people are just amazing, the workouts are quick and effective, and the availability of classes is exceptional. I have trouble keeping myself motivated through the ups and downs of life, but this gym helps me keep going and I look forward to every class. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Jesse has created something truly special with this gym. So many of the members of Ascend find it at a time when they need it most. We don’t just do workouts here. We set goals whether they be for our general life or specific to fitness and we have a community of people rooting for us, checking in, and picking us up along the way. I personally credit Jesse, his gym, the other coaches, and the other members with being the catalyst for the changes I wanted to make in my life physically And mentally.

Fantastic experience: Ascend Fitness has been an amazing place to get a whole body transformation. Mr. Walker has been working with both myself and my 13 year old daughter for quite some time. We both have some medical issues and Jesse is not only mindful of that , but has developed a workout plan that has improved both of us. Ascend is a safe place, Jesse is very knowledgeable, and is able to motivate both of us. Making it delightful to go.

Fantastic experience: Ascend is truly an awesome, close-knitted gym! Jesse Walker is truly an amazing Head Coach who cares for everyone! Each workout session is uplifting and he has a way of personalizing each session to help everyone achieve greater heights. Initially I was nervous about weights training due to a past injury but that first step was worth it! 6 months into training and I'm lifting more than I ever imagined thanks to the encouragement and support from all the coaches and members! Ascend Fitness is so much more than a gym, it's a community that strive to help each other achieve their wellness goals!

Fantastic experience: I shopped around for a fitness center because this was my first time taking personal fitness training. I found my perfect FIT at Ascend Fitness in May of 2021. I have been so impressed with the quality of services. I feel like part of a family. Jesse Walker and his other trainers have always provided excellent exercise training, coaching, and ultimately uplifting my spirit. They use a holistic approach and have helped tremendously with my physical, mental, and spiritual well being. I highly recommend them. I have lost over 33 lbs. and I feel stronger than I ever have in my whole life. I am amazed everyday with things that I can do on my own. I am truly Blessed.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I love this gym & it’s the best decision I could have taken! I love the small group sessions, I love the workouts, the coaches are great! Always there for you! I highly recommend ascend.

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing. I truly hate exercising and this gym has made me want to get up at 5:30 am for a 6am workout 3x per week. I have signed up for gyms in the past throughout my life and never end up going. My husband and I have consistently been coming to this gym since January and I truly can say that we feel a difference in our bodies. The trainers are the best. They care about you as a person and are constantly watching your form to ensure that you are doing the right exercises the right way and preventing injuries. It is so much better to exercise in a group than having to go to a gym by yourself trying to figure out what exercises to do and want machines to use. The owner is absolutely out of this world. He constantly checks on you, talks to you about your diet as well as helping you change your mind and behaviors. He is extremely motivational and inspiring.If you have been struggling with your weight loss I recommend that you join this gym you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: Ascend Fitness is awesome! Jesse has an enthusiasm for life and fitness that’s contagious. It’s great to have someone coach you through a workout on the days you don’t feel like it. I’ve had many breakthroughs working with Ascend.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Ascend for a little over a year now. In that time I have lost close to 60lbs, I am as strong and fit as I have ever been. I’ve also been a member of many other gyms and nothing compares. The family atmosphere during the group workouts are amazing. I would not have made the gains I have without my gym family. If you really want the change this is the place. It’s not just about getting strong and fit it’s a change of life. Come give it a try or jump right in like I did and commit to the process. If you do results are guaranteed!!! Jesse and the Ascend coaches are second to none!!!!

Fantastic experience: Ascend Fitness is so much more than a gym it is a place where breakthrough and transformation takes place. I’ve had memberships at Bally’s back in the day, L.A. Fitness, I’ve done P90X, Insanity, P90X3 and many other routines. All that to say that I’ve seen faster results training at Ascend than I did in any of the other places/routines. More than just the physical I’ve seen a positive change in my mental and emotional states. Saving the best for last I’ve grown spiritually in this environment. Like I said it’s so much more than a gym. Thank you Ascend and Founder Jesse Walker for all you’ve done and continue to do for me and so many others!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Ascend Fitness for 5 weeks now and I’ve been able to drop 5 to 8 pounds. Coach Jesse has a very professional and motivational approach with each individual and I was very impressed with how comfortable I felt with his training. Now I have a better understanding and practice when it comes to lifting weights. He has creative workouts with each session making the vibe very exciting and achievable for any person at any level. I highly recommend this studio for beginners to advance level in fitness.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Ascend Fitness is top notch! Professional, knowledgable, motivating, and transformational! Jesse is a master of his craft and will lead you toward the best version of you!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality What an incredible place!!!! Ascend has changed my life in ways I cannot possibly describe. Ascend is a true Godsend to me!! I am finally realizing my true ability and worth. Thank you to everyone there that has and continues to be such a special part of my life

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Jesse is not only very knowledgeable but really cares about the success of his clients. The group classes are designed so well. The time passes quickly and the camaraderie in the room is so encouraging. It’s the best way to work out!

Fantastic experience: Its a great place to work out! The coach is very dedicated to his clients and is willing to help out in any way to get better physically and also mentally. His knowledge of physical health is also outstanding and I learn something new everyday. I know everyone who goes there has a great time working out and getting fit. This is definitely a place I would recommend to anyone looking to get a good workout and get into a healthy lifestyle

Fantastic experience: Everytime I walk into the gym I feel welcome and supported. The coaches are very knowledgeable and hands on. I truly feel like they're paying attention to me and my needs and not just trying to get paid. They push me beyond my limits without being too pushy. Every work out is about doing enough to be healthy and fit so you can come back for the next days training. I love it here and it's worth it. I don't have to think about the work out of the day. And I'm not stuck on a treadmill for an hour. I encourage you to join it you are thinking about finding a gym family. Coach Jesse is the best.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication Very happy with my journey so far, blessed to find this great place wirh such nice people! I would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Jesse is super knowledgeable and all around has a really motivating personality. This is so much better than Crossfit! I tried that for a little while and wrecked my knees, shoulder, and back! The Crossfit crew actually pressured me into squatting in a form that just ended up in injury, and the workouts were insanely dangerous. In contrast, Jesse has a great knowledge of physiology, and in minutes he fixed my squat. Not only was I squatting without pain—but I was squatting more effectively, too. I encourage you to go in and visit. You'll get a safer, more effective, injury free workout and with Jesse's personality and the atmosphere of this place, you'll be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: As a transformational coach I know physical fitness and the right attitude are crucial to the well-being of our brain function and overall wellness. Jesse is amazing - he is a skilled trainer, personally motivating, caring, constructive, inspiring and such a great person to have in your corner. I highly recommend him to my clients and anyone who is serious about transforming your life from the inside - out (virtual or local)!

Fantastic experience: Working out has always been monotonous and intimidating to me... until I met Jesse Walker at Training For Warriors Lake Mary. Nowadays we live in a very hectic world! We get consumed by work and tasks that never ends. Not to mention the inactive life style that comes with it! Nevertheless we do nothing about it!!! Where our health must be our #1 priority and the best asset to invest in. There will be no better time than today to take care of yourself. I highly encourage you and recommend you to check this place out, because you won't regret it and your health will be forever grateful to you. Jesse took time to understand my needs and goals and delivered beyond my expectations. During the workout, he is very mindful, knowledgeable and professional. By the end of it, I feel great both physically and emotionally.

Fantastic experience: I am 69 years old and could not ask for a more dedicated trainer than Coach Jesse at Training for Warriors Lake Mary. This is an awesome Gym and a great place to “Feel Younger Next Year!”

Fantastic experience: It's the best thing every done I have never felt better and feel amazing and coach Jesse is wonderful and great his helpful pushes u to be great and always there to listen and talk to it's an awesome place to come to ...

Fantastic experience: TFW Lake Mary is amazing! Coach Jesse is super knowledgeable about body mechanics and the fitness science. I get a great workout every time I go and I'm seeing results. The workouts are also structured in a way where I don't feel particularly sore the next day so it helps me to keep a regular schedule and not have to fight through the day-after pain. Probably the best thing about this place tho is the culture. Everyone is like a big family, and this place has encouragement in spades. We're all at different places in our fitness journey but when you're pushing through your last set whether it's 5 lbs or 45lbs everbody here wants to see you succeed and finish strong. I can not recommend this place enough to people looking to make a change. Simply put, it works.

Fantastic experience: Best workout I’ve had in a longgg time. Coach Jesse is a great motivator...you can’t help but to give it everything you’ve got!

Fantastic experience: I met Jesse through the Seminole County Chamber of Commerce. He is very knowledgeable, patient and he really emphasizes on the form rather than the ego, which is what I need. As an Army vet, the first session had me drifting back to group PT in basic training, except focused, faster and towards a goal. I love the group classes and the competitive aspect of it as well as the team work. It's a great gym, the plans are steady and the diet isn't super tough to follow. Stick with it and I can guarantee you will see results. I would definitely recommend TFW to anyone looking for a good workout, whether you are looking for something new or just getting started.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Jesse is the best! It was a major struggle to get to the gym and when I found TFW Lake Mary everything changed. Working out as a member of a team totally inspired me and indeed brought out my inner warrior!

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I've made in a long time; on my last week of a 6 week challenge at Training for Warriors lake Mary. The coaches & members there couldn't be more helpful and encouraging. The gym may be small, but it's all heart in there, everyone is there to better themselves and you can pick up on that right away. There are absolutely no egos in the gym either. Jesse is super knowledgeable and is great at explaining stuff no matter what level you're at. If you're on the fence about joining don't be! Training for Warriors Lake Mary really helped me not only physically, but mentally as well. I hope to be a member for a long time!

Fantastic experience: Training for Warriors (TFW) provides an excellent environment to work out in a team setting. In the past I've been intimated going to gyms and not knowing how to use the equipment so would end up doing cardio. Under Jesse's guidance, I was taught how to exercise using weights, stretch correctly, and learn a balanced approach to eating. Each workout session is one hour long, and definitely pushes and encourages you to keep pushing. The team approach provides excellent supplemental support from more tenured members and everyone is encouraging and pushing you to reach your full potential. Jesse is a wonderful trainer and works with each person on their specific needs and knows when to push you to reach the next level. The Dojo (gym) is clean and well maintained.

Fantastic experience: Training For Warriors (TFW) is a fantastic fitness alternative to grinding it out in a traditional gym. The one hour training sessions are structured team-based sets of exercises that are designed to challenge people at all fitness levels in agility, endurance, flexibility, and strength. The TFW system provides for a wide range of exercises that work all parts of the body. The Dojo is clean, well lit, and contains all of the equipment needed to work through all of the exercises in a given session. Jesse genuinely cares about improving peoples' health and helping them achieve their fitness goals. He motivates and pushes with positive reinforcement while understanding that we all have different physiology and fitness levels. He demonstrates each exercise performed in a given sessions, explains why they're being done, and helps people with perfecting movement and form. TFW Lake Mary provides for an overall excellent fitness experience and is highly recommended regardless if you're already in shape or need to shed those extra pounds.

Fantastic experience: Jesse is a fantastic trainer! I've lost 10lbs since joining his program and he really helps to push you beyond your limits. I highly recommend him as a personal trainer in lake Mary!

Fantastic experience: Hands down, the best place to go workout, in the Lake Mary area! Jesse is very knowledgeable, helpful and supportive. If you like smaller classes with personalized attention this is the place for you. Jesse really is great about making sure your form is on point and you are getting the best workout you possibly can. Can't say enough good things about the TFW or Jesse. Regardless which class you take, you will get a great workout! The energy is just overall awesome. I highly recommend Training For Warriors in Lake Mary.

Fantastic experience: Training at TFW has been a great experience! Jesse's training led me in the right direction not only mentally but most importantly physically. The encouragement and team based exercises are fun and effective. I would recommend this training to anyone looking to make a positive impact on their health and well being.

Fantastic experience: Class is great, I was skeptical at first but Jesse built my self esteem quickly and everyone in the class is sincere and wants to see you improve. Definitely recommend a visit.

Fantastic experience: Self-motivated entrepreneur turning his passion into his life work! Jesse is an amazing person. When you meet him, it is apparent the discipline and drive he brings everyday to his business! If you are looking for entry level through expert training, Jesse is the right guy! He looks past memberships and focuses on the needs of each and every client!

Fantastic experience: Joining Traing For Warriors has completely turned my life around. I hadn’t seriously worked out since I was in high school ( I’m 50 years old now). I tried other gyms but never followed through. I think that’s because I always blended in with everyone else. There was no accountability and if I didn’t show up for months at a time, no one ever noticed. With TFW I truly feel that Jesse cares about my success. It’s a very personal type of training with accountability which is what I need, accountability!!! Since joining TFW I have completely changed the way I eat and exercise! I look forward to working out and feel better than I’ve felt in a very long time. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to make a change in their life to give Training For Warriors a try. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Training for Warriors Lake Mary is a great place to get in shape. Each day there is something different to look forward to! Coach Jesse is such a good coach, he is always encouraging and motivating. He explains each exercise and if there is something you can’t do he will give you a modified version of that exercise. The enviroment made up of encouraging people pushing each other to have the last rep the best rep!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. I joined around April of last year and I have stayed because not only are the workouts fun and challenging - but also because of the people and our fearless leader Jessie! No matter what level of health you are in Jessie has something for you and before you know it you will be achieving your goals. Come check it out.

Fantastic experience: Jesse's an excellent trainer - you're guaranteed to work hard and get an excellent workout with him (and trust me, you'll feel it the next day). It's like having a personal trainer in a group setting, which really amps up the motivation to finish all of your reps. Lots of focus on both cardio and strength, with attention to form, efficiency of movement, and prevention of injury. Last set best set!
