Ascendant Iron is a fantastic place to workout. Jake is a great trainer and all the people you workout with are very nice and helpful. You let Jake know what you want to accomplish and together your on the road to achieving that goal. I’m not as young as I used to be and haven’t lifted in a few years due to back surgeries. Jake always asks before,during and after “how are you feeling, any pain? Discomfort? How’s the challenge?” Do yourself a favor and join Ascendant Iron your body will thank you

I highly recommend this gym for all different fitness levels. I started out 2 years ago, not necessarily new to working out, but certainly not confident in my ability to do the movements correctly. I have had consistent improvement in my strength, a noticeable difference in my figure, and most importantly, more confidence. I have a new found love for SBD thanks to Jake, who continues to challenge and motivate me. I also love the atmosphere, a group of all ages and fitness levels, and everyone is friendly and supportive!

The gym is fantastic—great location, super convenient! Jake is incredibly attentive and really knows nutrition and strength training. He takes the time to listen to your goals and always offers advice and adjustments to help you get the most out of your workouts no matter what condition you're starting at. I enjoy how he’s always expanding and updating the routines, plus the new equipment keeps things exciting. Jake swears he's all natural but it can make you wonder since he is so jacked, yet still approachable.

I started strenght training in 2023 and I love it. Jake is great and answers all my questions. He is very patient. He pushes me to my limits, and adjusts accordingly if I am having a day, or week. I notice in my daily life how I am stronger between carrying laundry baskets or loading bikes in the truck.

I recently joined this gym with the simple goal of getting a little stronger for my rugby games. However, I never could have imagined that I would end up training to be a power lifter! The credit goes to my amazing trainer, Jake, who has not only tailored a program specifically for my needs but has also been a constant source of motivation and encouragement. The first thing that struck me about this gym is its small and private studio. It creates a comfortable and focused environment, perfect for training. The equipment is top-notch and well-maintained, making for a smooth and safe workout experience. Moreover, the other people that attend are incredibly welcoming and supportive. It's like being part of a family, where everyone is working towards their own fitness goals but also cheering each other on. Jake, is truly exceptional. He not only has extensive knowledge and expertise in powerlifting and strength training but also takes the time to understand my goals and limitations. He has designed a program that challenges me but also ensures that I progress at a safe and steady pace. He knows just the right balance of pushing me to my limits and providing the necessary support and guidance. What I appreciate the most about this gym is that it caters to all levels of fitness. Whether you're a beginner looking to gain some muscle or an experienced athlete looking to try a new sport, this is the place for you. Jake is super passionate and dedicated, and will help you achieve your fitness goals, no matter how big or small. In just a few weeks of training, I have seen a significant improvement in my strength and overall fitness. I have also fallen in love with powerlifting and have set new goals for myself. I never thought I would be saying this, but I am excited to train every day and see how far I can push myself. If you're looking to gain muscle, improve your strength, or try a new sport, I highly recommend checking out this gym. It's a hidden gem with a fantastic community, top-notch facilities, and Jake is an exceptional trainer. I am grateful to have found this place and can't wait to see how much further I can go with his support and guidance.

If you are new to strength training or have been at it for a while, Jake is amazing! Ascendant Iron is such a supportive community & friendly environment to workout in. Jake works with each person to establish & achieve the goals you have for yourself. He encourages you 100% and adjusts/adapts workouts if needed! He provides individual attention no matter how many people might be there!
If you want to compete, he’s got you! If you want to gain strength, he’s got you! If you just want to be able to move & function better in your daily life, he can help you too! As someone who thought strength training was only for Power Lifters & Body Builders, the best decision I ever made was to start training at Ascendant Iron! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jake is an exceptional personal trainer. From day one he has been patient and very thorough with my training process. He took my form from a beginner to professional in no time. I have been working out for a few years prior to seeking his professional assistance and have sky rocketed in all of lifts. He is beyond accommodating with my schedule and making things work to get our training sessions in. He created a specific program to focus on my strengths where it is needed and always pushes me to strive for more! I can not recommend him enough to family and friends because he knows his stuff!10/10!

Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he’s also very kind, friendly, supportive and genuinely interested in the success and progress of his clients. Ascendant Iron has significantly helped me with my strength training along with diet/nutrition. Jake motivates me to be the best version of my self physically and mentally. It’s amazing what your body can achieve when you give it your ALL!
Highly recommend!

Ascendant Iron is a great personal training gym. It’s clean, top notch equipment and organized well. Jake is a knowledgeable, caring coach that adjusts training to meet my goals and needs. I’ve been in the fitness industry teaching yoga, fitness classes and teaching as a career and trust his teaching methods.

I have been under Jake's coaching for about 3 years now. And I have yet to be disappointed by him or his coaching methods. I truly enjoy having him as a coach as he definitely takes the time 1-on-1 with you. Whether it be online coaching or actual person to person. I feel like he is there for you without hesitation. I have been apart of his barbell club since it has been available and that has been awesome! I think that is perfect for someone who can have the intermittent experience in training but still needs some guide as far of the workout plan. I definitely try and recommend Jake to anyone who is willing to put the time and effort to training.

If you are looking for a professional gym in which to train, you couldn’t choose better than Ascendant Iron.
The facilities at the gym are top notch, the training provided by Jake is just amazing. Jake is a professional in the true sense of the word.
When he says it’s 1-1 training, that exactly what it is, he watch & coaches the whole time, everything is done to perfection.
I can’t recommend Jake highly enough.

Clearly, Jake is a trainer with many years of positive professional experience in his industry. Licensed and stays up to date with contemporary training specifics. Knowledgeable in all aspects of power, strength, and other methods of training. He has a great understanding of how to customize a workout according to each individuals needs, abilities, body, age, and goals. Likeable and professional. Prices are very reasonable for a trainer of this caliber, worth every penny. Strongly recommend.
Not a bot, not paid, and not influenced into saying anything on here. Reviews come from own experience as a personal trainer, training with other trainers, and currently a customer

I've been going to Jake for a few years now. He is a true personal trainer and not one of these cookie cutter "cross fit" programs. He focuses on personal goals and sets up a routine to meet personal needs. I've seen him work with all types of clients, people that have never seen the gym to college athletes. My 17 yrs old son also enjoys training with Jake. Jake has recently been working with him on strength and conditioning for his upcoming volleyball senior season. Nothing but positive attitude and great results. Highly recommend! True professional.

ASCENDANT IRON has been a life saver for me. As a senior, I was looking for a program to help me stay limber, improve stability and build muscle tone. I found all three under one roof. Jake listens to concerns and makes adjustments to my training as needed. He inspires and encourages me to do my best--even when I think I can't.

The coaching of my friend Jacob Young at Ascendant Iron Gym has pushed me to accomplish lifting milestones I never thought I’d reach. Since working with him for the past two years I’ve seen huge jumps in my bench, squat, deadlift, as well as other lifts. He is able to both adapt the training regimen to the personal lifting level of the client, and incorporate your own qualities/lifts you want in it as well. Whether you are looking for a coach for a powerlifting meet, or a training program to see personal gains or weight loss, Ascendant Iron is the place you want.
