Who am I?

Meet Aaron Coker — Founder of Ascendance Fitness

I’m a certified Health and Wellness Coach, Yoga Instructor, and Nutrition Coach — but my journey to fitness wasn’t a straight path.

After breaking my back, I fell into a deep depression and turned to drugs and alcohol. My health declined, my weight climbed to nearly 300 lbs, and I lost my sense of self-worth.

But everything changed when I committed to sobriety. Now, with over three years clean, I’ve rebuilt not just my body but my life. Fitness gave me back my strength, but more importantly, I discovered something even greater — the power of the mind.

Today, as a husband and father, I live with purpose and self-love. My mission is to share what I’ve learned so you can overcome obstacles, unlock your potential, and achieve what may once have felt impossible.

Are you ready to rise above yourself?
