Meet Your Trainer

Hey, I’m T.J. Brower—athlete, coach, and the founder of Ascent Athletics. I believe every person has untapped potential—and it’s my job to help you unlock it.

​

My roots are in athletics. I grew up on the court and the track, competing against some of the best. In high school, I ran at the BYU Invitational three years in a row, pushing myself against elite competition and learning what it meant to grind for a goal. After that, I played and trained alongside college and semi-pro basketball players, sharpening my skills and soaking up everything I could about elite-level performance.

​

I’ve also had the privilege of training Military Service Members to prepare to pass their physical exams. I have a great respect and admirations for those who volunteer for service you our great country.  
Also, I have personally trained side-by-side with my brother-in-law and teammates, D1 football players at the University of Utah. These experiences gave me a front-row seat to what it takes to compete at the highest levels—and now I bring that same energy and mindset to the athletes and clients I work with.

​I’m not just here for the naturally gifted. I’m here for the ones who are hungry for excellence. The ones who want to level up their performance and confidence in how they look or feel—whether you’re chasing a scholarship, trying to dunk for the first time, or just getting back into shape.

​

Through Ascent Athletics, I combine smart, science-backed programming with real-world experience to help you train with purpose. My mission is to help you rise—to reach heights you didn’t think possible, physically and mentally.

​

Let’s get to work. Your next level is waiting!
