SERVICES

In Person Training

Up Close and Personal

Sessions are held at a private training studio in NYC, or in our clients’ homes. These sessions are tailored to each individual and begin with an in depth movement assessment to identify specific areas for improvement.

Virtual Training

Convenience

These sessions are geared toward clients who prefer the convenience of working out in their own home, or those who are traveling. Sessions are tailored to each individual and location. We work with clients domestically and internationally and adapt to what equipment (if any) is available. We also provide guidance on what equipment to obtain to equip your home gym.

Nutrition Guidance

Eat Healthy

As certified Precision Nutrition Level 1 coaches, we will guide you on your path to maintaining healthy eating habits. What you put in your body is just as important as the physical habits you create, and we will work with you to create a comprehensive wellness journey.

ABOUT JENNIFER

Jennifer Muniz, founder of Ascend Personal Training, is a nationally certified personal trainer, specializing in strength training, injury prevention and recovery, weight loss, and pre and post natal training.

With a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Siena College, and 2 years of acting conservatory training at Maggie Flanigan Studio, Jennifer is well versed in both the mental and physical components that comprise fitness and longevity. She will create a believer out of anybody, and she loves doing this most of all!

Established in 2016, Ascend Personal Training has set out on a mission to lead our clients on a path of healthy and lasting lifestyle changes. We work with a variety of people of all ages and abilities. We appreciate that everyone who comes to training does so from a different starting point, and meeting people where they currently are is how we have been so successful.

Word on the Street

“Jen has been an incredible asset to my own personal fitness growth. Her customized approach, from goal setting to programming to training, has made a huge difference in my workout regimen. Jen has been a critical cog in my training program and I could not have made the progress I have without her. I’d highly recommend Jen for anyone looking to start or advance their fitness journey!” -Andrew

At Ascend Personal Training, we believe that everyone deserves the ability to live their fittest lives. Taking a true holistic and longevity based approach, we design our programming specifically for your individual goals. Not sure of your goals? We’ll help you find them.

We begin every client relationship with an in depth fitness assessment, as we fully recognize that each person comes to training with a different background, exercise and injury history, and goal trajectory.

We pride ourselves in providing educational instruction, ensuring our clients understand the importance of each movement.

We believe in movement science, not in what looks “cool” or “trendy” on social media. We love having fun with our clients, and while our sessions are instructionally based, we guarantee you will enjoy each workout!

We go beyond what is typically expected from a trainer/client relationship. We value the “personal” in personal trainer above all, and we are our clients’ biggest fans. We will always invest in you, and guide you to be consistent, even when life throws you every possible curveball.

Our goal is to deliver more than strength gains, increasing your knowledge of fitness as well. We believe in uncovering your “WHY”, so that you will have a better chance of being successful for the long haul.

WHY ASCEND?

Michelle

“I’ve been training with Jen for 5 years. I always look forward to our sessions because I know I’ll always feel better at the end of every session. She helps me program my workouts based on what I seek and how I feel on a day to day basis. She is an excellent listener and considers how my life is moving so she can program a session that compliments my goals. She is a consummate professional and an extraordinary human who wants her clients to live their fullest, fittest, and longest lives with safe and intentional training. What I especially admire is that Jen lives the lifestyle that she preaches. I always feel mentally and physically strong under her guidance.” -Michelle

Sharrie

“After a year recovering from a torn ACL, I decided to get back into running and a close friend of mine had told me that she no longer suffered from knee pain with the trainer she worked with. I did not hesitate and immediately booked a session. I started scheduling one on one virtual appointments with Jenn once a week in preparation for my Fall marathon and bc of Covid, I worried if it would be difficult. My first consultation with Jenn was great. She analyzed my injury and set a baseline off of my current athletic abilities and strength. I am not the type of person that fancies the gym. In fact, you can’t even get me to go even if there’s one in my building lol. The only thing… more

Jackie

“Ever since I found my way to Jen several years ago, my search for a truly expert and motivational trainer has finally been rewarded. I am a 50-something physician and mom of 3, and working with Jen has brought me into the strongest, fittest era of my life thus far. Jen has remained my steadfast coach whether training in-person or virtually – my training sessions are the only Zooms I actually look forward to every week! When I was sidelined with an injury, Jen made sure that I rested and rehabbed… more

“I just want to give a huge shout out to Jen Muniz as a terrific experienced personal trainer and fitness coach in the Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow and entire River-towns region. Great experience working with her. Also highly certified in a wide range of health and fitness practices. If looking for a terrific coach, you should reach out and speak with Jen.” – Marc

Grace

“I have been training with Jen consistently and happily since 2017. I have been athletic and active for all of my life but after college I felt the need to up my fitness level. Training with Jen has been the key to getting to and maintaining the fitness level that I want. Jen knows how to perfectly blend the activities I like and the ones I don’t but need to do. Because Jen is so well rounded, she encourages and informs me in increasing my flexibility, strength, and cardio skills. Training with Jen is always a blast and I feel the results. It also helps that my friends are jealous of how strong and fit I am :)” – Grace

Kate

“I started strength training with Jen virtually at the start of the pandemic in March of 2020. When gyms shut down, Jen decided to host group fitness classes via zoom. It was a great way to keep up my workout routine and stay connected to people. I became pregnant with my second baby in November of 2020 and started doing more one-on-one training with Jen. Since she has both pre and postnatal fitness training, I felt very confident working out with her throughout my pregnancy… more

Caitlin

“I began training with Jen in March 2024 hoping to get on a better workout schedule and lose weight but I honestly achieved so much more. Strength training with Jen has changed my life, I have become a stronger person both physically and mentally. Becoming confident in the gym has allowed me to become confident in life and it’s amazing to have a positive constant in life. Jen is an amazing coach, she encourages me to do my best while also understanding that “life happens” and sometimes a workout gets missed… more
