Ascension Athletics

I started my journey at Ascension in March 2025, two years after starting CrossFit. I learned more in just a few months at this gym than I did in over two years of CrossFit. The community is awesome, and the coaches are outstanding. They take the time to focus on every member, whether you're new or experienced. I've been encouraged to lift weights I never thought I could! With simple guidance, I've achieved many personal records!!! I'm so happy to be a part of this community. Plus, the owner Jemel is the best!!

Very welcoming gym. All the members are nice, welcomed me with open arms. Coaches are very knowledgeable and the owner Jemel is great at what he does

Very nice staff and dedicated owner. Upgrades are being made currently (February 2024) with a change of workouts.

Been going to this gym for 2-3 years now and I’ve hit new peaks in my journey of life. Has helped rejuvenate my life. No joke I could barely break parallel on my squats and now I get really deep.

Recently I suffered a shoulder injury and the coaches there have been able to help me work around it while I recover.

Good kids class too I’ve heard.

Update: they have a noon class now which is helpful for those of us who work at night or have weird schedules.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed—not just as another member, but as part of a true fitness family.

What sets this gym apart is the genuine sense of community that exists within its walls. There’s no ego, no intimidation—just a group of people supporting each other in their fitness journeys, regardless of skill level or experience. Whether you’re new to strength training or a seasoned athlete, you’ll find encouragement and camaraderie here.

A huge part of this comes from Jemel, whose coaching is second to none. He is kind, patient, and incredibly passionate about what he does. He has an amazing ability to tailor workouts to each person’s capabilities, ensuring that everyone is challenged but also training safely. His approach fosters growth, confidence, and resilience, both physically and mentally.

Beyond just a workout, every class feels like a step toward becoming a stronger, healthier, and more empowered version of yourself. If you’re looking for a gym that not only pushes you but also supports and uplifts you, Ascension Athletics is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Jemel was one of my first CrossFit coaches when I started. Since then, I have belonged and dropped in to many CF gyms. Jemel is the most meticulous coach I’ve had. He gets to know athlete level and helps scale appropriately. Pushes you to your limits when you’re questioning your ability. I love dropping in whenever I’m in town as I always get a new, valuable cue. He’s forming a great community, friendly environment and the programming has been challenging every time (which is what you want).
