Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone
Building a level of fitness that is adaptable requires the right mix of training types. This means targeting the specific areas you need to improve while maintaining the rest. Our group classes focus on developing multiple types of fitness, endurance, agility, strength, and balance.
Training smart is just as important as training hard! We work on different components of your body’s performance outputs on different days, so you can train more regularly, with more consistent results and less injuries.

4 Different Classes for Well-Rounded Strength & Fitness
The primary focus of our group classes is building adaptable and functional health and fitness, so nothing stops you from tackling a game of rugby or a 24-hour adventure race! We’ve spent years testing and refining our programming and training methods, so you can be sure you’re getting the most out of every session.

Experience more of the world through fitness
Whether it’s through your social sports, hiking, endurance sports or obstacle racing, you love to test yourself. Your sore muscles, scratches and adventure stories aren’t just a sign you’ve trained hard – they’re a reminder that pushing your limits is what makes you feel most alive.
Committed to the cause
We’ve been heavily involved in the outdoor sporting community for years. That’s underpinned by more than a decade of experience in personal training, high-level run coaching and group fitness instruction.
Walking the talk
This isn’t just a job - it’s how we choose to live our lives. We train hard, regularly participate in outdoor events with the Ascend Fit crew and spend our downtime exploring new places.
What you can expect from our workouts
Our group classes focus on developing multiple types of fitness, endurance, agility, strength, and balance.
- Check in. Arrive five minutes early to find your spot on the floor and meet your instructor.
- Mobility work. Each session starts off with five minutes of mobility work, which over time will compound into more range of motion, less pain and greater flexibility.
- The workout! We combine weight training, cardio and core all into one EPIC 45-minute workout. The exercises are easily modified to challenge your fitness level and no workout is ever the same – it’s literally impossible to get bored.
- High fives. You’re heart-rate is pumping and your muscles are tired (in a good way). Get your high fives, give yourself a big pat on the back and we’ll see you at the next session.

120+ members & growing
We’re proud to say many of our members have been with us for years and there’s nothing more rewarding than watching our people train hard and achieve their goals.
I have been training with various personal trainers for the past 6 years and can assure you that it is the best investment you can do for yourself.
Liam is undoubtedly the most experienced and professional trainer I had the pleasure of being coached by. He prepared me for my first marathon within 3 months which not only helped me to fulfil my dream but also loose a lot of unwanted weight. Currently we are still training together couple of times a week and I’m in the best shape of my life and only getting stronger and healthier! His attention to detail, knowledge and expertise is hard to come by.
If you are considering such service then don’t hesitate to give him a call.
Thank you Liam & the Ascend Team!
