Every hero starts weak — until they find a system that helps them grow.

FOUR STATS FOR STRENGTH TRAINING
Each stat represents a real training principle — and only levels up through results.
STRENGTH — Your normalized estimated 1-rep max across your main lifts, calculated from actual performance. Strength only grows when you get stronger.
INTELLIGENCE — Personal records and progressive overload. How consistently you push past your previous best.
ENDURANCE — Weekly training streaks and consistency. Show up, level up.
STAMINA — Total sessions completed over time. The long game, measured.
This isn't a fitness app that rewards participation. You earn every level.

START YOUR ASCENSION
Download Ascend — the gym workout tracker and fitness app that rewards real results.
I’ve been using it for about a month and i am horrible at tracking my workouts. But this really made it fun and easy. I also like the rpg aspect of it.
Looks VERY promising!!

I was enamored by this app as soon as I found out about it and its theme. When I started, I noticed some quality of life improvements that need to be made so that everyone can enjoy the app to the fullest.For example, let me rearrange my routines and plans around.Another, have more exercises already in the app and have timers for certain exercises like planks. It can be a hassle for the user to try and add simple exercises even if they may already know them, think of the convenience for the customer.I noticed that when I changed my rest time for certain exercises, they didn’t save and weren’t utilized in the actual workout.In the workout, some of the exercise names were cut off and were hard to read. It can be hard to understand what may be added when adding a custom exercise because the wording of the alternative names for muscles isn’t uniform yet. Some are straightforward and others left me scratching my head.These are some of the issues i noticed with the app, but I’m not worried because as long as the app gets updates (and funding), then this app will likely be a successful hit!Hopefully when the app gets updated, I’ll rewrite my review to reflect on the positives of the app. It’s got my attention, and I’m betting it’ll likely get yours too once those changes are made! Till then! Cheers to the Dev team!
