We’re Mitch and Justine — former athletes, registered nurses, and creators of ASCEND! 💪🏼 We’ve been athletes our whole lives. But after sports ended, we felt a little lost. Programs were either strength-heavy or cardio-focused — never both. We were tired of piecing things together and constantly feeling like one side of our training was falling behind. The ASCEND method was born out of that frustration. We needed a system that actually made sense. One that helped us get stronger, faster, and more resilient without second-guessing every workout. Now, we train exactly like we coach. We test every program ourselves before you see it. If it’s in the app, we’ve done it — and we’re probably doing it again with you right now.
