There is so much power to being surrounded by other climbers, building a community within which we can become vulnerable, feel safe, and push past perceived limits, both mental and physical. This is an incredibly unique and gratifying experience.  We recognize that we all have something in common, the drive to grow.  To get better, to get stronger. We recognize that change is not easy, it’s meant to challenge us, it’s meant to push us out of our comfort zones. At ASCEND we find others to take this journey with, because together is always stronger than on our own. At ASCEND, the challenge is also FUN! And, ADDICTIVE!

I can’t stop thinking about ASCEND! The moves, the music, the machine. I feel locked in, quickly lit. I love the climb element – the achievement. It lights me up in such a unique way, not in a fatigued, slogging-it-out way, but in an “I CAN DO THIS” way. I feel totally high afterwards with such a satisfying sweat!

This has been the challenge I needed post-Corona times…can’t stop thinking about the class, moves, energy and music. My posture has improved, and I find myself stronger.

ASCEND is a breath of fresh air in Amsterdam’s fitness industry! With a combination of strength, cardio, coordination, and some absolutely fire tunes, you can get the power you’re looking for. I like to get crazy, and this is just up my straat!
