Who Are We ?

​

An Accessible MKE Fitness community since 2012 and a Trauma-Aware Clinical Wellness Program since 2015.  See our story!

 

We are, above all, a wellness community. Our model is a model of social justice: we believe that quality wellness services should be available for the whole community. 

 

We understand that wellness spaces/services can be standardized in ways that only reach a small slice of the population, so we will actively listen to our clients to create a practice space that aligns with their personal needs, vision and intersecting identities. 

 

Our mission is to constantly grow and explore how to be a diverse, culturally-affirming / multicultural, accessible space for our community. For this, we have an internal education team and clinically-informed supervisors that support our growth.

​

Finally, we aim to be a positive part of our community by honoring our natural surroundings and resources.

See our Green Initiatives here!

​

ACCESS is what MATTERS.

We celebrate and welcome all identities, all abilities and all bodies (and nervous systems). LGBTQIA+ brave space. Body Positive / Neutral / Weight - Inclusive Space. ALL levels of mobility welcome. All levels of English proficiency and English literacy welcome. All ages welcome!

We collaborate directly with experienced physical and mental health professionals to recommend good culturally informed approaches for body-mind connection practices. We focus on continuing education and we have an internal training program for our providers. Ask us to learn more!

​

​

Sensory-friendly spaces

We provide in-person and online services in spaces that fit your needs. In-person services happen out of  our movement clinic, natural spaces in WI and client's homes.

All languages welcome

We work with translation services and cultural liaisons from our community.

Cultural Liaison program available directly through us.

All income levels welcome

We work with pay-what-you-wish and pay-it-forward fees, instead of sliding scales.

About us

A Literal Marriage of Ideas

​Our work with clients wanting to improve their quality of life and vitality started about a decade ago when Tony Langtimm created his first adaptive fitness business in Milwaukee. The mission statement of the gym was to create accessible services for the Milwaukee community, based on the ASCENT method. [...]

COVID-19

Best Practices

Update

Following research-based guidelines regarding COVID-19, the Ascent Wellness Program will continue to abide by all the necessary safety practices (especially as seasonal increase in number of cases and new variants happen). The Ascent Wellness Campus is currently open at 440 W. Vliet Street in a space that was designed during the pandemic. At both locations (Downtown Campus and Bayview Clinic) AWP practices disinfection of spaces and used materials per session. Our spaces are permeated with filtered air, allow comfortable distanced movement and our staff is encouraged to mindfully use masks when necessary. Telehealth sessions are offered as folks report their health status and as they go through testing and quaranteening.

Ascent Wellness Campus Land Acknowledgment: 

We offer gratitude and we pause to acknowledge and recognize that we are on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk and Menominee homeland along the southwest shores of Michigami, North America’s largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menominee and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and the people of Wisconsin’s sovereign Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida and Mohican nations remain present.   We are on unceded lands with a long history of oppression, colonialism, erasure and occupation. We are committed to operate with this awareness and not cause further burden on our communities. We invite you to learn more and donate to local and/or national organizations (UWM list here) and to learn more on active allyship, particularly about how you can support Tribes directly through informed action.
