It was clean, had good music playing, and had everything I needed for a thorough workout. I got to try out some equipment I had never had a chance to use before (like the multi-grip bar). You can tell they put thought into every piece of equipment they purchase and that these guys really know what they're doing. I would definitely recommend Ascension Performance!

My first meeting was a sit down discussion with Becky, an honest talk about what I eat and drink , what i like to do and my goals . My second visit was spot on to build strength in the areas I was concerned about . She is not a high pressured young trainer who had me doing ridiculous things beyond my ability. she seems to go with the flow but don't let that fool you. She had an eagle eye for errors in posture or form. She adjusts exercise to accommodate your body or injury . I was very impressed. I felt relaxed and not at all self conscious. I walked out feeling thinner but more importantly stronger and healthier.

The space itself is very inclusive and they take anti-discrimination seriously. Pre-Covid they weren't the most attentive to cleanliness and sometimes ran out of cleaner and paper towels in the gym but that changed during Covid and they are extremely safe and strict on that and mask wearing. Gendered locker rooms, and nice showers with expensive amenities (shampoo/soaps/air fresheners). They also have a refrigerator and a common working space which was a bit utilitarian (read: the seats are uncomfortable), but hey, it existed. Plenty of parking in front and behind the building (closer to Bear's Smokehouse, even though it's a bit of a walk). Staff is friendly, but you may find that many of the people mentioned in these reviews are no longer at DAC. I would come during off peak hours and would be able to mess with the rack (two) or treadmills if I was into that. They have also have two peloton bikes that use the LOOK Delta clips so if you have SPDs, sorry. They also have a TRX machine, but I think you need a trainer with that one. I didn't love it enough to renew my membership because the fitness center is a bit small and completely got mobbed during peak hours pre COVID, but I felt like it offered a better value than similar fitness center style clubs in the area.

I…read morecame from working with another trainer in New Haven who I didn't feel like I had a great connection - and I've found just the opposite here at Elm City Coach. I was coming off a knee injury from running and looking to both push myself without risk of re-injury on my road back to running. Marannie has been a great partner to help in achieving my goals. I completed my first 5K (post injury) with her and Lauren's help! I love the combination of individualized programming and the small group camaraderie here. I also have really appreciated Marannie's flexibility with working within my budget. Personal training can be very expensive, and she's helped me come up with an arrangement that works for me.

I've been training with Marannie at Elm City Coach for 8 months now. Marannie's approach to…read moretraining through natural movement is unlike any other approach I've come across. Big movements like hanging, climbing, crawling, jumping, balancing, squatting, and running are broken down into parts that we master, focusing on form at every stage. I'm seeing how all these movements can (and should) be used every day in our daily lives, and because of this, I find myself practicing at home all the time in ways I never would have considered before. I am stronger and healthier every week, and I am discovering that I can move in ways I never was able to before. I can do monkey bars and climb trees now with my kids, do pull ups, sit on the floor for extended periods of time, lift large objects correctly, and go for runs- all things that were unthinkable last year. I also really love the small group setting of the classes and the individual attention you receive. Each participant works with a program that is tailored to their specific needs. It is very noncompetitive and supportive- kind of the antidote to CrossFit! So, if you are looking for just a plain old gym to crank out a workout and then go home and sit around all day, this isn't your place. But if you are looking to make real authentic change in your daily life, and if you want to see how you can bust out of the sedentary American life most of us live and see how you can move better, not just in classes but in everything you do, THIS is the place to be!
