The why behind Ascend.
Sierra is a certified Pilates instructor, personal trainer, and mom of three. After Pilates rewrote how she felt in her own body, she made it her mission to build a studio where every woman could find that same strength — without the noise. Ascend is her love letter to the PNW: intentional movement, real community, zero gimmicks.
Instructor · Hype Captain
Pink playlists, no mercy on leg day.
Equal parts gymnastics coach, social-media wizard, and the friend who texts you back in three seconds, Cassidy brings precision and pure energy to every class. Expect a perfectly cued flow, a playlist you'll Shazam, and the kind of cheering that makes you push one more rep. Your legs will shake. You'll thank her later.
Instructor · Mat & Mobility
Movement as magic.
Mama, teacher, coach, and lifelong believer that movement is medicine. Kylee leads Studio B with calm intention — breathwork, mobility, and strength sequenced so you leave a little taller than you walked in. Beginners adore her. Athletes are humbled by her. Everyone leaves feeling proud.
