The best gym and trainer I've ever had the chance to work with. Super flexible and customizes everything to you. I love the community that has been created between clients and makes it that much more welcoming! He can also help you out if you want to compete in a powerlifting competition :)

Jake at Ascendant Iron is very knowledgeable, flexible, easy going, challenging, supportive, motivational, and he genuinely wants you to succeed.
​
He will put together a working program tailored to your fitness goals, strength, and flexibility. As you move forward the program evolves.
​
The facility is new with new equipment. You can't beat that. The fellow members have been welcoming as training overflows from one client to another. We've begun to share in each other's successes!
​
This is not your typical gym. Check him out!

Training at Ascendant Iron is different than any other training I have had. Jake is extremely supportive, genuine, and loves to see you succeed. Whether you are looking to lose weight, define specific parts of your body, or just increase your overall health, this is definitely the place to be.
​
No client trains the same. Jake completely customizes the workouts to your needs.
​
And the atmosphere is amazing. I used to be afraid to go to a gym out of fear of having others watch me train. The relationship between the clients at Ascendant Iron is unparalleled. We help each other, cheer each other on, and look forward to our sessions.

Jake has helped me push past PR numbers that I didn’t think I was going to get for years. More importantly he makes it a very comfortable and fun environment that you want to come back to time and time again.

My programming has been designed specifically for me! Jake takes into account goals I have set for myself, my workout schedule, and what my strengths and weaknesses are. He is flexible in making any needed changes to my program. He always asks and takes into consideration my feedback. Jake is always supportive and encouraging as are the other gym members. It is an uplifting fun environment with the fellowship of the other members present. I'm his favorite client. :)

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 yr 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 a very knowledgeable and diligent owner. I worked out here for several months. Not only was my program tailored for my specific needs and goals, but accommodations were always met with success and safety in mind. I would strongly recommend to anyone looking to strengthen their body and or techniques.

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.

I get a challenging workout with a great trainer. Jake has helped me improve strength and feel more confident. Now he is helping me get strength back after surgery battling chemo for breast cancer. He really cares about teaching you about lifting to improve yourself.

Jake customizes workouts for each client's needs and goals. He always listens to my feedback and makes any necessary changes to my workouts so I can feel my best and achieve my fitness goals. All the clients at Ascendant Iron are friendly and fun to work out with and encourage each other. I have had a lot of trainers over the years, and Jake is the best trainer that I have ever had. I highly recommend him.

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 has everything you need for strength training. If you are looking for professional training I highly recommend Ascendant Iron.
Brandon Waszak
Ascendant Iron is a great place to train in whether you're beginning your fitness journey or are an advanced lifter. There's encouragement and support from other clients which helps create a sense of community/belonging. Coach Jake is authentic and caring. He takes the time to build rapport with clients. He is wonderful to work with and has created a great environment to train in. Love this place, thank you!
Liz Lemus
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
Becca Mullner
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 myself physically and mentally. It's amazing what your body can achieve when you give it your ALL!

Highly recommend!

I have been under Jake's coaching for about three 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 one-on-one 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.
