Who is Ascend?

Noel Chase, Your Pilates Instructor.

Movement, fitness, sport and activity are deeply part of who I was, am, and will be. My linkage to the work of Joseph Pilates started in 1998. I have studied with many descendants of Joseph’s work & became a Romana’s Pilates Level 3 Senior Instructor Trainer.

In 2013, Diane Musumeci and I opened Ascend, a Studio for Pilates. We began the study of Safe Spine Pilates, learning, teaching and executing exercises without loading the spine under flexion. Continuing education has deepened my understanding & implementation of proper biomechanics. Integrating Pilates, Safe Spine work and release techniques can give you the tools to achieve your physical goals, whatever they may be. I look forward to working with you to ascend to your goals!
