Fantastic experience: I have been a member since opening in Glen Innes. It is an amazing place. Liam and his team do a fantastic job of both running the gym and creating a real community of like minded people. It’s not an impersonal money making machine it’s a place that’s fun to visit managed and run by people that actually care.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Ascend Fit! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and included, no matter your fitness level. The Coaches strike the perfect balance between motivation and encouragement—they push you just the right amount without ever being over the top.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been part of this gym for a while now and love coming here! Not only for my physical health but mental health too. Awesome culture amongst the members! The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive and I love how they go out of their way to help with technique too. The trainings are well thought out and fun! Coaches are also open to adjusting exercises when/if needed due to injuries. There are fun extra activities and challenges too which keep me motivated during the colder months and help me to achieve my goals! And if your a brain box or need a laugh, we have a social pub quiz team too every month! Love it!

Fantastic experience: If you are bored of your traditional gyms where you get no guidance and struggle to find motivation and always trying to figure out what to do then look no further. You just need to show up to Ascend Fit and the amazing team will make sure that you have a great workout, don't neglect any parts of your body, do it safely and mainly have fun while at it! I have been training with the owner Liam for a few years now and he has been instrumental to my fitness journey. His 15 + years of experience in the filed are undeniable. Give them a try!

Tania Vaealiki 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have done personal training, 6 week challenges, strength and cardio classes, bowling, trailnav and the monthly pub quiz. When you join a gym such as Ascend Fit, you join a family, a community. Running? Think you can't run like you used to? Liam will change that mindset for you. Coaches Lou and Jay are fantastic! They are so helpful and I love their energy. Lou's mobility is amazing and incredible, so bendy! Jay makes sure you're listening to your body. I love this about them! Coach Liam is an inspiration! He has gone above and beyond for me as both a client and a member and I am very grateful for all he does for me.

Trevor Booth 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have never come across a gym owner that cares so much about its clients, always bending over backwards, whether it be personally dropping off and loaning out their equipment to clients during lockdown, helping those financially affected by lockdown so they can continue to train and even setting up a fundraiser to give back to local businesses. Fred and Lovinia are amazing and the classes they offer are sooo much fun yet challenging at the same time. I cant recommend Transformation Centre highly enough
