Save the date, Ascend family! 💚

We’re hosting an Ascend Client Appreciation Night on Saturday, August 29 at 6:00 p.m. We have so much to celebrate!

We’ll be celebrating the incredible community we’ve built, giving Stacia and Kim/Skye a proper send-off as they move on to new locations, and celebrating Kelli with a baby shower.

Earlier that morning, anyone interested and available is invited to join our “group moving workout” at Kim’s house as we help load her moving truck. 😂💪

Please let Amie know if you’re planning to attend the morning event, the evening celebration, or both. A food sign-up sheet and additional details will be sent later today in our email newsletter and over the app!

One of my favorite community traditions each year is being part of the ACC Turkey Trot and the David N. Levinson Memorial Scholarship Fund.

What makes it even more special is that many of my Ascend clients show up year after year to run, walk, volunteer, and support a cause that directly benefits local students in our community.

This year, we'll be hosting informational tables at two upcoming events:

📅 June 27 Community Event
📅 July 4 Food Truck Rodeo & Vendor Event

Stop by and learn more about the scholarship fund, volunteer opportunities, sponsorships, and the annual ACC Turkey Trot.

Thanks to the support of this incredible community, $9,000 in scholarships was awarded to local students in 2026. Every race registration, donation, sponsorship, and volunteer helps make opportunities like these possible.

If you're attending either event, come say hello. I'd love to share more about the scholarship fund and how you can get involved.

🎓 Our Community. Their Future.

One of the questions I get asked most often is:

"What equipment should I buy for my home gym?"

The fitness industry can make it feel like you need an entire room full of machines to get a great workout, but the truth is a few versatile pieces can go a long way.

I just published a new blog sharing my favorite home gym essentials, the equipment I recommend most often to clients, a few bonus picks, and some purchases I'd probably skip.

If you're building a home gym or looking to upgrade your current setup, I hope it helps you spend your money wisely.

Very excited to kick off the Ascend Community Clothing Exchange! 💛

Throughout June, we'll be collecting gently used workout clothing, athletic shoes, and fitness accessories right here at Ascend.

Have items you no longer wear? Bring them in. Looking for something new-to-you? Feel free to browse donated items throughout the month as well.

This project will lead into a community wellness event in late July featuring:
☕ Local Coffee Truck
💪 A donation-based community workout
🛍️ Local women-owned vendors

All proceeds from the workout and remaining clothing donations will be donated to the local women's shelter.

Donations can be dropped off anytime throughout June at Ascend Training & Wellness.

Thank you for helping us turn a simple clothing exchange into something that can make a difference in our community. Special thanks to those who have already donated 💛

Good morning everyone 💛

Taking a moment today to acknowledge the meaning behind Memorial Day and the men and women who lost their lives in service, along with the families who continue carrying that loss 🇺🇸

All sessions are still running as scheduled today:
11:30 AM + 6:30 PM Weightlifting
7:30 PM Mobility

Also, tonight’s evening class and mobility session are open complimentary to any past clients wanting to come back in for a workout or anyone new who has been wanting to try a class out and see what Ascend is about.

No pressure. Just a chance to move your body, clear your head a little, and start the week feeling better.

If you’d like to join us tonight, send me a message for details 💛

Mother’s Day was yesterday, and it’s had me thinking a lot about how often we as women spend years taking care of everyone else while slowly disconnecting from our own bodies in the process.

Not always dramatically. Sometimes it just looks like constantly pushing through exhaustion, tension, stress, overstimulation, poor recovery, or never fully slowing down long enough to notice how disconnected you’ve started to feel physically.

So I wanted to share something healing and easy to follow.

I created a free guide called *The Ascend Morning Reset* - a gentle 20-minute mobility and breathwork routine designed to help reduce tension, improve mobility, support recovery, and create a slower, more grounded start to the day.

This guide is based on my personal morning ritual and daily mobility flow.

Inside are movements like:
• supine breathing
• qigong shakes
• lymphatic tapping
• spinal and hip mobility
• gentle nervous system support

No equipment needed.
No experience required.
Just a mat, twenty minutes, and the intention to slow down a little.

I’ll drop the link in the comments for anyone who wants it 🤍

Welcome to Ascend Training & Wellness 🤍

If you’ve been thinking about getting started or getting back into a routine, I have a few openings right now in my small group training and would love to connect.

A few details:

• Most classes are part of a structured program or ongoing membership, so we build consistency and maintainable results over time
• A confirmed sign-up is required so I can make sure everyone is included in communication and planning
• Active group members receive all updates, scheduling, and details directly from me
• Drop-ins can be arranged with prior notice and space allowing

My goal with every group is to create a space that’s supportive, intentional, focused, and fun. Where every woman can feel comfortable, welcomed, and motivated.

If you’d like to join a current or upcoming group, fill out this quick form and I’ll get you all set up 🤍

Your body is constantly responding to how you move, whether you realize it or not.

This is something I’ve been seeing more clearly in my pelvic floor and mobility classes lately. When women start moving with more intention, things shift quickly. Not just in strength, but in how their body actually feels day to day.

A big part of that comes back to fascia.

Fascia responds to your movement, your breath, and even your stress. It’s closely connected to your nervous system, which means how you move becomes input to your body, not just exercise. When movement is rushed, forced, or disconnected, your body holds onto tension.

When movement is intentional, supported, and controlled, things start to feel different. Lighter. More coordinated. More fluid. This is why mobility work matters so much when trying to improve your overall health and wellness.

It’s not just stretching. It’s how you restore communication within your body. The more you practice this, the more you realize you don’t need to do more. You just need to move with more awareness.

I put together a simple pelvic floor and core reset you can start with.

Full breakdown is in the link in my bio.
