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 can’t speak highly enough about Jake and his custom personal training service. 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!

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!

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 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.

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.

Jake is very knowledgeable, dedicated and most of all, attentive. He doesn't run you out of the gym if your sessions go a little over. His gym is has everything you need for strength training. If you are looking for professional training I highly recommend Ascendant Iron.
