Ascent Fitness
This year’s summit is happening at Ascent Fitness in Tacoma, WA—a gym that’s doing things differently. Founded by BPFA board member Luca Lyons, Ascent is a thriving example of what’s possible when you build a fitness space around inclusion, autonomy, and real community.
Just being in the space is a chance to learn. From the way classes are structured to the way members are welcomed, Ascent brings BPFA values to life in every detail. It’s more than just a gym—it’s a blueprint for what the future of fitness can look like.
