Ascent Life Fitness

Verbose update after two years. Hopefully not too cheesy. It’s not overstating the situation to say that this gym will change your life. I have been all over including Warrior Fitness, Idaho Athletic Club, Crunch (which I also like), Planet Fitness, Johnny’s FitClub, the Fitness Lab and a home gym. A couple of years back, (when Ascent was called Fitmania), I signed up for a boot camp-type challenge and haven’t looked back. Chad and Jessica are amazing and supportive. This is obviously a passion of theirs, not just a business to generate revenue. In my experience, the other coaches are well-informed and know when to push you. They offer modified exercises if you have injuries or are just starting off. They offer nutritional consults. They also do body composition analysis. Super, super positive and supportive people.I like that I don’t have to use any bandwidth to decide what exercises to do for a day. All I have to do is show up, …and push myself as much as I can. If I want to add anything extra I can do that after class (Sally Up??).An additional bonus of this gym is that you have many ways to access their resources. I usually use the app and have weights at home. Or, I can sign up for slots to use their gym and weights by myself, following a pre-recorded workout. Or, I can go to instructor-led group classes. In the time of COVID-19 this flexibility has been an invaluable way to keep on track, even if everything shuts down. Also, if I work late I know I can still get a workout in.Ascent Life Fitness has become a necessary part of my daily self-maintenance and well-being.Invaluable resource!

Fitmania is fantastic! I just lost 17 lbs over 6 weeks during their 6 Week Challenge. The workouts are excellent, with trainers who are extremely helpful and experienced. The workouts were easily modified to the level I was at. The extra help with goals and nutrition was very useful. They spent time every week going over my progress with me and checking in to see if I needed any support. Even if you are unable to get to the gym for the scheduled classes, they publish workouts online to be able to do from home. I highly recommend trying Fitmania if you are interested in getting and staying healthy!

I recently completed an 8 week “choose your transformation” challenge with Ascent Life Fitness. I am beyond pleased not only with my results, but also the quality of and accountability from the trainers at ascent. My own personal goal in starting the challenge was to get back into a gym routine and exercise 4x a week - the fact that I enjoyed the workouts, trainers, and atmosphere made this easy to accomplish. After two knee surgeries and subsequent weight gain, I was not confident in what my body could actually do. Katie is one of the most amazing trainers I’ve worked with, and was always cognizant in classes of the fact that I have chronic knee pain and was quick to offer suggestions on how to modify but still get a great work out. This 8 week challenge was the perfect way to kickstart a routine when you may be lacking motivation or the confidence to do so; I would 100% recommend the classes at ascent.

I finished a 6 week challenge with FitMania as well, and it changed my life. It sounds like such a short time, but so much can be accomplished in those few weeks, and I will forever be grateful that I did it! It showed me what I am physically and mentally capable of doing. The trainers' energy is contagious and palpable, and the nutrition advice and guidelines were invaluable. I never felt invisible in the classes, and the trainers kept me aware of proper form at all times. What a great experience all around!

Recently I participated in an 8 week challenge with Ascent. I had a goal to lose 12lbs, the remaining weight I wanted to lose after having had a baby 6 months ago. Ascent provided the tools necessary to shred those pounds. Although I didn't reach that goal fully, I did lose 8 lbs. I am happy that I lost more than half of that goal. As I said they provided me with the tools necessary to do so. Not only did I get a great workout in each day but coupling that with a food plan really helped to lose that weight. Ascent also offers a body scan so you can track your progress to see how you're doing and where you need improvements, if any. That was another thing that helped with my goal. If you're like me, someone who hates using machines at the gym because you have no idea what to do, then Ascent is definitely the place to go. The classes are just that, a class. You'll be working out with others and having a trainer lead the class. No thinking about what you should do next. Just follow their lead. The classes are designed to accommodate all types of people. They are not easy by any means. Each workout is meant to push you hard to lose that weight AND build muscle. You will walk away feeling so good! I will definitely be doing another challenge to lose the remaining 4 lbs as well as build muscle. Thank you Ascent for helping me reach my weight loss goals!

Ascent Life is great because I know I’m getting the most out of my workouts. When I went to conventional gyms I had no idea how to lift or what to do. Now I just show up to the gym and my workout is written by someone who knows what they’re doing and I have a trainer who can correct my form if needed and give me tips. It’s like having a personal trainer at every session. They also have an online option if you can’t make it to the gym in person you can watch videos of that days work out. The staff is super friendly and fun. I would highly recommend, especially if you want to get in shape fast for a big event like a wedding!

I highly recommend Ascent Life Fitness! I completed an 8-week challenge and knocked my goals out of the park: 50 push-ups on my toes and meal planning for breakfast, lunch, and two snacks. With supportive coaches and trainers I was able to meet my goals (the push up goal changed into timing how fast I could do 50 push-ups) and a side effect was losing 9.5 inches and 2% body fat. I need to buy new pants that don’t fall off! Ascent provides a positive and encouraging environment and the patrons are very supportive, too! Try a week’s worth of classes, you won’t regret it!

I just completed a 6 week fitness challenge at FitMania. I’m completely blown away from the owners to the trainers to the gym members on down. It is a positive experience across the board. The truth holds at FitMania that, if you get yourself in the door, they will take care of you from there. The meal plans are realistic but incredibly healthy for you. The workouts switch every week. So that you stay challenged, while also noticing both weight loss results and increased strength, endurance, and flexibility. If you are looking for a boot camp facility to get you started on your fitness journey, whether it’s been a week or ten years since you’ve been to the gym, the motivational, supportive staff and members at FitMania have you covered. Highest recommendation😃!

FitMania is great place to work out! I completed their 6-week challenge and I am very happy with my results. The program really works and the trainers, staff and member are awesome! Everyone is very supportive and motivating. I wish I heard of FitMania a lot earlier. Highly recommend it.

Fit Mania has been a great place to workout. I seriously crave the workouts everyday. I have only been going for about a month now but I can already tell I am getting stronger and becoming a healthier person. The trainers are very kind and will help you continue to push yourself. I love the food tips they give at the end of the workouts as well. Its helping me become a healthier me!
