Congratulations Jessica on being our Member of the Month!!
We asked Jessica some questions about her health and fitness journey and how things have been going since joining Ascend. Here’s what Jessica had to say:
Wow I feel really honoured to be nominated. It feels good to be recognized by the coaches.
Where were you before joining Ascend?
Before Ascend, I worked out at home, did yoga, and attended group fitness classes. I tried small gyms and community centers, but nothing really stuck. I was looking for a group class when I found Ascend, and even though I didn’t fit the typical age range, I decided to give it a try.
What specific results have you experienced at Ascend?
I’ve learned to appreciate how strong I feel in my body. I’ve pushed myself beyond what I thought I could do, and I’ve surprised myself with my progress—not necessarily with weight loss, but with building strength and confidence. I’m more confident and committed to showing up for myself, both mentally and physically. I’m proud to say that weight lifting and fitness are now an important part of my life and identity, and Ascend has helped me come to this place.
What sets Ascend apart?
The supportive community at Ascend makes a big difference. Everyone works hard and supports each other, which creates a positive and motivating environment. The coaches push me to do my best, and I always feel like I’ve accomplished something when I leave. I enjoy being part of the community and always feel like I belong.
Were you nervous to get started?
Yes, I was really nervous. I had a hard time setting goals because I didn’t want to feel like I was failing. But once I started, I realized it was about showing up and giving my best effort, and that’s what I’ve done ever since.
What would you tell someone who is on the fence about getting started?
Starting a fitness journey can feel challenging and overwhelming, but I encourage you to give it a try, even if you’re nervous. It’s worth showing up for yourself, and at Ascend, you’ll find a supportive environment where people meet you where you’re at and walk alongside you every step of the way. You’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish when you commit to yourself and have the right support around you.
