At Ascend Performance Training, we're privileged to serve the vibrant community of seniors in Retirement homes across the Denver Metro Area. Our mission goes beyond fitness—we're dedicated to enhancing lives through holistic wellness and preventive care initiatives.

#1 Gratitude and Long-Term Goals in Senior Care

Working with seniors is not just a profession but a profound privilege. As someone who has experienced firsthand the challenges of caring for a loved one with dementia, I understand the importance of compassionate and comprehensive care. Our long-term goal is to pioneer preventive healthcare in retirement homes, ensuring residents lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

#2 The Rise of Boxing Classes: A Scientific Approach to Senior Fitness

One of our most impactful programs has been our senior boxing classes. What began as a passion project has blossomed into a beloved program across multiple facilities including Rosemark Mayfield, Hilltop Reserve, Balfour at Central Park, Carillon at Belleview Station, and Acoya in Cherry Creek. These classes aren't just about physical fitness—they're scientifically proven to enhance cognitive function, improve balance, and boost overall well-being.

Studies show that boxing can significantly reduce the risk of falls by improving balance and coordination. It's also an excellent cardiovascular workout that promotes heart health and muscular endurance in seniors. Our classes are tailored to individual needs, ensuring safety and enjoyment for every participant.

#3 Comprehensive Wellness Profile: Integrating Preventive Care

Our commitment to preventive care extends beyond fitness classes. Through our Comprehensive Wellness Profile, we offer personalized genetic testing and wellness assessments designed to optimize health outcomes for residents. This proactive approach not only identifies health risks early but also empowers individuals to make informed Lifestyle choices that can prevent chronic illnesses and enhance longevity.

Statistics reveal that preventive healthcare interventions can lead to substantial cost savings in healthcare expenditure. For every dollar invested in preventive health, studies show a return of $3 to $6 in reduced healthcare costs over time. By integrating these services into senior communities, we aim to create a model of care that prioritizes wellness, independence, and quality of life.

We Can't Do This Alone!

At Ascend Performance Training, we're reshaping the landscape of senior care through innovation and compassion. From empowering seniors with boxing classes to pioneering preventive healthcare strategies, our goal is to foster vibrant, healthy communities where Aging is embraced with vitality and dignity.

Join us on this journey toward holistic wellness and discover how Ascend Performance Training is leading the way in transforming senior living.

Tripp Parks Author, Podcast Host, Gym Owner

My name is Tripp Parks. I am the author of the book "Health Profiling"; I co-own: Ascend Performance Training Center and business solutions, Kalevala Labs Supplements; co-own/host the podcast Health Or High Water. (ISSA Certified: Personal Trainer, Genetic-based Program Design, Nutritionist, Strength & Conditioning Specialist, and Elite Trainer)

With over 10 years of experience in the fitness industry. From playing professional football for the Rival Professional Football league, to working in genetics supplementation, personal training, nutrition and much more.

The latest I have been working on is developing the process my partner and I call, "Health Profiling". We are faced with one of the worst health epidemics ever seen before in human history and I wanted to come up with a way to fix it and thats where Health Profiling was born. Health Profiling is basically a new way of looking at health and wellness. The problem is when you go to a personal trainer they are going to solve your problems with workouts; a nutritionist will solve it with diet/supplementation, etc. The problem is no one is putting them together.

Just like when we invest our money, we diversify those funds. The same goes with our health and wellness. Health Profiling is about diversifying our health and wellness to all aspects. I look at everything for someones health journey (genetics, hormones, workouts, sleep, stress, mentality, etc.) that truly makes them healthy.

This all starts with genetics! Using genetic testing we can get a qualitative road map to apply Health Profiling to our daily life's!
