Simple. Sustainable. Designed for Your Life.

At Ascend, we don’t do cookie-cutter meal plans or unrealistic diets that leave you starving and confused. Our customised nutrition plans are built around you — your body, your goals, your lifestyle, and your schedule.

Whether you’re trying to burn fat, build muscle, boost energy, or just stop second-guessing what to eat — we’ve got you covered.

Each plan is:

• Tailored to your goals – Based on your body composition, training intensity, and lifestyle demands.
• Flexible and family-friendly – Easy to prep, enjoyable to eat, and realistic for busy people.
• Simple to follow – No tracking apps required. Just real food, real results, and real clarity.
• Adaptable – We adjust your plan as you progress to avoid plateaus and keep momentum.

You’ll get a clear day-by-day breakdown, including meals, snacks, portion sizes, and practical tips — not just a PDF you forget about. We’ll even walk you through it so you know why you’re eating what you’re eating.

Fuel the climb. Feed the results. Live strong.
That’s how we do nutrition at Ascend.

Track Progress. Set Targets. Eliminate Guesswork.

At Ascend, we don’t guess — we measure.
Our in-house Body Composition Scanner is free for all members and a key part of how we get real results that last.

This isn’t just a fancy machine — it’s a powerful tool that gives us accurate data on your muscle mass, body fat percentage, hydration, metabolic rate, and more. With that info, we can:

• Set clear, tangible goals tailored to your body
• Choose the right training sessions to match your goals
• Build a customised nutrition plan specific to your physiology
• Track your progress over time so you know what’s working
• Stay accountable — both you and us as coaches

The scan helps us start strong and move forward with precision. It’s not about chasing the scales — it’s about building a body that works better, feels better, and performs better.

Know your numbers. Own your journey. Let’s make progress you can prove.
