METHODS ARE MANY,
PRINCIPLES ARE FEW.
METHODS OFTEN CHANGE.
PRINCIPLES RARELY DO.
To ascend is to become better. It’s not about seeking the impossibility of perfection, but rather about chasing progress and understanding that if perfection is a destination that one can never arrive at, progress is a journey one can always strive to be on.
Ascend Perform utilizes the most up-to-date science to ground our principles and we have spent over two decades refining and adapting our methodology. This leverages the best equipment and exercise tools to produce rapid results that are readily identifiable through the collection of real time data.
Additionally, all clients are provided with nutritional/lifestyle guidance and all supplements we use are from a line that typically only caters to health care practitioners.

“CHRIS GRAYSON IS AN ANOMALY OF SORTS.
HE’S AN EXPERT WITH A BEGINNER’S MIND.”
- Kevin Tate (past client)
21 years of experience and research have been distilled down into my principles and methods.
I believe I have a healthy amount of skepticism regarding any biases I have towards training. Because of this my passion for what I do has never dropped, and I continue to learn and invest in my knowledge. Most coaches will brag about how great they are at their job. I prefer to let my clients speak for me, so I encourage you to read the testimonials.

Veronica Mayorga
After two months of training with him three times a week I saw results I was never able to achieve on my own at the neighborhood gym in years! I never imagined having a six pack 5 months after having a baby!
NICK SMITH
I started training with him and only weighed 175. After 7 months I gained 15 pounds of muscle and added 7 miles per hour to my fastball.
Chris Pinto
Chris Grayson is by far the most knowledgeable professional in this field that I have ever crossed paths with. Chris has been educating me with training advice for over a decade, and he played an important part of my recovery process from knee surgery earlier this year.
Goran Reljic
Training strength and conditioning with Chris Grayson really opened my eyes to a lot of things. His way of training is extreme but very effective. I think he has a very good approach to take the maximum out of the athlete.
