Coach KJ definitely is passionate about his craft. He is the cream of the crop in the nova area when it comes to trainers that are more worried about a athlete’s success then his paycheck. If you want a trainer who will not only take your athlete to the top of their physical abilities but also their mental ability this is the guy for you. He trains kids to become successful both on and off the field with a tuff but true training process. Good god fearing man!!

KJ does a tremendous job with all things training (strength, fast feet, core, speed and agility, etc.). I have witnessed great growth in my children over a short period of time and look forward seeing even more. However, the way he includes his faith and speaks blessings , success and encouragement over his athletes is something to see! Thanks KJ….keep it up! You’re appreciated!

KJ is the best of the best! Top notch training and motivational mentor all in one. It doesn’t matter if your athlete is 5 or 60 he delivers results!!! My athlete loves the discipline and knowledge that KJ provides. If you want to be pushed to the next level Team Ascension is where it’s at!

Coach KJ of Team Ascension is one of the best Personal Trainers on the East Coast. My boys attend training for Speed, Agility, and Muscle Building. They also receive Character Building as a bonus. To an Athlete, character is just as important as any other skills you may learn.

When training with Team Ascension I became a part of a family. Its something to say about a company when you go for one service, but you leave each session with much more. KJ is compassionate but tough, he pushes you in a way that makes you feel like I cant go on but because of his style grace and motivation you surpass your own mental and physical limitations. There were days that I showed up to sessions hurting emotionally or having health issues flare up. Without me sharing my issues with him, he knew exactly what to say to refocus my mindset and to have a successful session. I highly recommend Team Ascension.

Coach KJ is amazing with our 11 year old athlete!!!! Our son has trained with Coach KJ for 2 years. His training helps our son in multiple sports football, basketball, and track. His trainings are diverse always something new to keep our son engaged. Coach KJ pushes him to his greatest potential. He is supportive and a mentor to all that train with him. Hes your childs biggest supporter. Under Coach KJs training our son is more confident in his athletic abilities. We are very thankful to Coach KJ and the time he devotes to our son. We highly recommend Coach KJ for adults, teens, or children looking to get in shape or develop as an athlete. T and N Sharpe

My son Antonio has been with KJ only a few short weeks and already has shown great improvement, like a complete 180 of who he used to be as an athlete. To put it into perspective, my son is nearly 160 lbs at 11, he’s an offensive and defensive lineman who is predominantly bottom heavy and a little flat footed. KJ has him running speed and agility drills with receivers of all ages into high school and college. My son can now keep up with them and is slimming down, lighter on his feet, “quick feet” and running for and catching passes. All of this because he needs to be faster for the linebacker position which is his goal. KJ not only takes the time out to build relationships with his clients, but the passion, dedication, discipline, and heart he himself portrays, he also instills in them. He won’t ask them to do anything he can’t do or has no knowledge of. KJ’s workouts are also personally developed for each player because he understands not every person is the same, they learn and perform at different levels, but what he will do is make sure they give 100% effort every time and he will challenge them, push them past their comfort zones to help mold them into better all around athletes. KJ has been a tremendous blessing this off season and we will continue to go to him year round. If you want to see the best improvement and growth, KJ is where to go! #fullspeed

My 2 kids have been going to KJ for the last couple years. He is an awesome trainer, great with the kids and a Man of God! My kids love going. If you want your kid to excel above there competition give him a shot. You will absolutely not be disappointed.

Team Ascension provides a dynamic training program with a well rounded approach. No matter the athlete. KJs instruction is elite and encompasses a mentoring style that both inspires and motivates the athletes to train to their maximum potential. Highly recommended! FULL SPEED!!!!

KJ is great personal trainer with skills and a flair to teaching the youth. Knows his stuff on a various sports-specific and weight training discipline. He trains my son and the extra work and training aided in his development across the board. I recommend Team Ascension fully and without reservation.

My son has been training with TeamAscension for 2.5 years now. We continue training with them because we’ve seen his growth both in athletics but in his determination to want to be better. He’s only 9 but I never have to force him to go to his sessions. He wants to go!! Which has never happened with any other coach or program. The coaches and the young high school/college men that train there push my son to be his best. He gets to see and train with athletes he aspires to be like.

Received a referral from another parent whose son attends the training. Truly impressed. Professional, motivational, and encouraging! My son enjoyed the two sessions that he has been to and we will be back on a regular basis.

KJ from Team Ascension has been a blessing for my boys who Wrestle, play Football, Basketball, Swim and dabble in Boxing. I have seen a tremendous improvement in both of my sons hand eye coordination, speed, agility and explosiveness. After sessions at Team Ascension last summer the boys both had awesome Football seasons and I accredit that to the work they put in at Team Ascension. Full Speed!!!

KJ has been my personal trainer through out the years and he is just AMAZING. He is about what he says and if you want to get in shape or reach that goal weight he will help you do that. Great personality, great to train with and all around good person who succeeds at everything he does. Definitely recommend!

Coach kj and staff are very knowledgeable about the product they are providing for these athletes. It’s FULL SPEED ALL THE TIME from the moment the athletes walks in the building. Very clean facility as well. If you haven’t checked out team ascension I would highly recommend it.

KJ is a fantastic trainer and an outstanding role model! He is a man of faith who lives, eats, and breaths fitness. We are proud to stand behind him and would recommend anyone who wants to get in shape or has kids who are training for a sport!

Excellent trainer for all sports. Coach Kj is very well versed in every sport, every type of training routine for individual sport specific as well as getting athletes in shape and motivated. His motivation and inspiration that he gives to athletes is priceless. Coach James and Mcmillian have tremendous experience for the youth as they have excelled in NCAA as well as professional sports and can really relate to the youth. Coming from a former athlete myself who very critical about trainers and workout programs for my son, trust me this is a team/family you want not only your kids but also yourself to be a part of.

Coach KJ is an extremely amazing individual that has mastered the craft of sports strength and conditioning. His ability to teach his life lessons and apply it through training kids of almost all age speaks volumes. His unique way to end every session by having everyone take a knee and pray out shows how his spiritual mindset drives his craft every single day.My 8 year old son has been going to KJ since November of 2018, and with the understanding that he had a kid with a blank sheet of knowledge, he was able to instill core strength, balance, more of an explosive jump, speed, various rhythm techniques for his sports and a better understanding and appreciation of those sports. He is growing faster than I thought. 2020 will be even more promising!And if you still question whether his program still works, come to the gym and take a look at the wall of students that have received full athletic college scholarships and are playing pro sports.Full Speed!!

I’ve seen K.J. In action and the way the kids respond to his training style is amazing. He trains your body, opens your mind and guides your soul in the best way anyone can. He truly speaks life into the people he comes across. If you are on the fence about whether or not you should invest in his services and you don’t want to go off of opinions just look at his history. There’s so many different types of people he’s helped tremendously, from athelete’s to the general public. If you are serious about getting results make sure you call him as soon as you can. I’ve seen a lot of trainers work and I promise you can search but it will be hard to find someone who trains as well as him. He is able to push you or your athlete to the limit and still remains positive while encouraging you to break through your boundaries. He’s professional, he’s knowledgeable, and he truly wants the best for everyone. Don’t wast any more time on this decision and Go see for yourself.

I love KJ! Hes one of the best trainers around that are affordable, personable, and motivating! He trains both athletes and non-athletes of all ages.

KJ has trained my son since he was in 8th grade. He’s now a sophomore in college and still gets support from Team Ascension whenever he can. Can’t thank him enough for all he’s done to help him along the way. We’d recommend him to anyone looking to get better as an athlete and person. Very knowledgeable about the body and what it takes to get the most out of it.

My family has been involved with Team Ascension for many years. My son Brian was a wrestler and trained with KJ in group setting and personal sessions. I have no doubt that training with Team Ascension elevated his wrestling career. I don’t know all his stats but he did place in the state tournament. I also did personal training with KJ. I was in the best shape of my life! I was strong and fit. I felt wonderful! No two workouts were the same. Never boring! I miss boxing with him and his uplifting spirit and encouragement! You can’t go wrong with Team Ascension.

TEAM ASCENSION is where its at. The workout that my son receives just does not compare. I have known coach KJ for a long time and see the results 1st hand of the outcomes of hard work. The pedigree of trainers he has just does not compare. Coach Travon McMillan and Mike James come in and grind hard with everyone there and treat them as their equal but demand that they give every ounce of effort with every rep that they do. You can see the amount of energy that they all bring to the table not just for the physical portion of it but the mental aspect as well, teaching these young men and women to be leaders. If you want to see your child get to that next level this is where you want to be. FULL SPEED

KJ is one of the best trainers I have met. He helped Rehab me from a terrible motorcycle accident a few years ago. His energy knowledge and dedication make him one of a kind. If anyone out there is looking for a trainer to get them motivated and pushed to achieve their personal goals KJ is the best!!!

KJ is one of the best to do it. Not only is he a great trainer hes a Godly man. He was one of the first trainers to work with my son who is now a Student Athlete at the University of Michigan on a full scholarship. I would definitely recommend KJ to anyone in the area. Full Speed!!

KJ is a fantastic trainer! He has been training my son for over a year. KJ is able to bond with the kids and push them to achieve greatness! He is very knowledgeable regarding fitness and has been able to help my son get faster and stronger. I highly recommended Team Ascension!

Great trainers and Great training sessions with results. My son and I have been working with KJ and his staff for years and my son who plays multiple sports has become so explosive and has gained a steady increase in muscle.

Excellent trainer! Always kept me motivated and made me challenge myself myself at each workout. Highly recommended!

My son has been working with KJ for almost a year, and it has been amazing for him! KJ keeps him motivated, and keeps him focused on all of his goals! Would recommend him to any athlete looking to further athletic ability towards reaching peak performance regardless choice of sport.

The two things that set KJ apart from the others is 1) the intangible part of training; always positive and always encouraging. And 2) he always holds the athletes accountable. He makes the youngest athletes do it properly the same as the older athletes. A lot of trainers will say “good job” to an athlete who improperly conducted the technique and move on to the next one. KJ doesn’t do that. He’ll stop, slow down and re-teach it until the athlete gets it right. Well done sir.

Team Ascension is led by the passion of KJ. His drive, passion and determination is contagious. He trains more than the physical. He trains the mind, body and spirit. Ive watched training sessions and KJs passion made me want to lace up my shoes. This trainer is a motivator, hes a visionary, a leader and a role model in the community.

Awesome trainer and staff. KJ has been working with my kids for almost a year and a half. They have grown in strength and character while working with KJ. He really cares about his clients and is a great role model for our youth.

Great trainer, coach, and even better person!! I highly recommend Team Ascension. FULL SPEED

KJ and the staff are “First Class””. If you wont your athletes to grow mentally and physically. This is the place to be. “Full Speed”

I started taking my boys to Team Ascension a couple years ago for just some basic speed and agility training. Once they started, I realized they got more than just training!! Not only does coach KJ help them to improve their skills on the field, he also motivates them, boosts their confidence and prays for them each and every session! My kids have been coached by quite a few trainers and I would say that Team Ascension is the best, hands down! Coach Kj just knows what he’s doing and you can tell that he absolutely loves what he does! I also love the fact that he’s not just for athletes, I’ve started training with him to lose some weight and tone up myself. It’s not easy but he will meet you at your fitness level while pushing you to where you need to be! If you have a kid that needs to train or if you have your own fitness goals, Team Ascension is the place to be!! Thanks for all you do coach!! #fullspeedallthetime

Kevin is a top notch coach that cares about his clients Definitely recommend his coaching services and he will get you to your goals

I have been going to coach kj and this program for almost a year and it has been very beneficial to my physical performance and knowledge of the game I would recommend for anyone that is thinking about getting a trainer

KJ Johnson is a phenomenal trainer who got me into the best shape possible during highschool and he prepared me for playing at the next level physically and mentally so when I arrived i immediately saw the field. I played a great deal as a freshman and couldn’t have done it without him and his training

My son has been training with coach KJ at Team Ascension for 3 years and not only has his training made a difference on the field but also off the field. His training is designed for athletes who want to truly be successful. Team Ascension is exactly that! A team.. all levels pushing each other to separate themselves from the pack. They compete against each other but are still teammates after the game is over. My son will be working with Coach KJ and his amazing staff for as long as possible. I Appreciate everything that working with Coach KJ has done for my son and we will forever be indebted.

Coach KJ is one of the best trainer there is. Man of God, Great father, great friend but on top great coach.My wife and I have been training with Coach KJ for the past 3 months and it has been a blessing. I personally lost 20 pounds and wife 18 pounds and built muscle mass under his training. Coach kJ mentality is if we fail he fail. His determination for you to reach your goal is amazing. I truly recommend Coach KJ for personal trainer. You will not be disappointed.

This is a great place if you’re trying to get your athletic ability to the next level

Awesome facility and some of the best fitness athletes and well respected coaches in the DMV area!!

My son David whos 12 years old in 7th grade came to me last year sharing that he wants to continue with football so I reached out to find the additional training he needed. I was referred to Team Ascension by a few AYF Football Coaches (different teams, different counties). We cannot be more pleased with Coach Kevin Johnson with his professionalism & dedication to these young men & young ladies. David looks so forward to seeing his Team Ascension family weekly! If youre are looking for personal training for yourself, son, daughter, etc. I highly recommend that you contact Coach KJ!#teamascension #fullspeedallthetime

I’ve been with KJ since I was in 10th grade. I am now a junior in college playing D1 football. I can honestly say training with KJ has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my athletic career. He has helped me grow tremendously not just as an athlete but as a person. He will always keep it real with you and will talk about real life experiences that teach you lessons which is something that I have personally learned from and valued. The training has always been top notch and to see him continue to grow as a trainer and always seek more knowledge says a lot about who he is. KJ has made Team Ascension into a family that you should be proud to be apart of. But be ready to go FULL SPEED!!!! ALL THE TIME!!!!

KJ has trained my daughter for almost a year now. When we started with him I learned very quickly that not only did KJ provide an outstanding training program, he also helped build a confidence in his athletes that cannot be matched. My daughter walked in with her head held a littler higher and believing that she could do so much more because HE BELIEVED in her. You wont find a more genuine and loving coach than KJ! We are Team Ascension through and through. #fullspeed

When we first sought out Coach Johnson (Coach KJ), we were looking for an avenue to give our son a competitive edge in football. Within three months, we witnessed our son’s improvement in overall physical ability. We fully expected results from this training, being that it was and is a focused, deliberate, and high intensity training regimen; but we were surprised at the high level of improvement. Speed, strength, and agility were the demonstrable physical factors that could be measured on the field, from the ability to hold a route in a crowd, to sidestep a defender in traffic, and to gain a step in a route. These were noticed by his football coaches as well, with ability referenced metaphors like, “swiss army knife”, and “jack of all trades”. The vast physical improvement metrics we witnessed, were accompanied by character and personality maturity as well.It is the way that Coach KJ approaches instruction that makes young men and women want to train hard through pain, fatigue, and bad days; full speed, all the time. In our son’s case, we not only noticed the above-mentioned physical improvement, but also the character maturity. This is also a metric we value in Coach KJ’s training. The spiritual approach that Coach KJ brings to the program, focuses young men and women on positive universal values that are beneficial in sports and life. In athletics this has translated into a competitive attitude rooted in positive sportsmanship; while in life we have seen it drive our son to be responsible and confident. In conclusion, we have much respect for Coach KJ in what he has been able to do with young talent, in shaping, honing, and hardening it in our son, as well as, developing athletes.

I was very skeptical of coach kj from the start. My son was already fast and I didnt think a trainer could make him any faster. Boy was I wrong! Kj has taught my son techniques that have made him faster. He has also greatly improved his overall quickness and his linear and lateral quickness. Kjs unorthodox training has helped my sons balance and explosion. He has improved my sons confidence and ability to take constructive criticism without taking it personal. My son knows that kj loves him and will tell him what he needs to hear; not what he wants to hear. KJs intensity has rubbed off on my son and has him competing with older kids in every exercise. If you want your child to be the best athlete he or she can be kjs the best Ive seen. Not only does he help your kid with speed and agility; but he also talks about real life issue and guides them in the right direction. Every session is started with a prayer and ended with a prayer. On many occasions I have witnessed kj pull a kid to the side and tell them how much he loves them and thats why he refuses to lie to them. He will make them do the drill (regardless of their age) until they master it. Kjs a coaches dream. He will make your kid the best athlete he or she can be. Coach kj is worth every penny and defiently proved me wrong. Everything from here on will be FULL SPEED ALL THE TIME!!!!

My name is Jonathan George i grew up competing is martial arts i am a professional fighter and i support team ascecion and coach kj because he makes me motivated and makes me in the best shape of my life when i train for a fight or have a big event coning up i pay coach kj to train me and get me fight shape ready he helped me out through all the biggest fights of my career and i plan on keeping him as my fitnes coach for the rest of my career he is the smart gives me all expert advice and he helps me be motivated because he creates a good environment for me when i am training i feel most confident when i have coach kj train me for a fight and my body shows results with the training he gives me i would reccomend him any timr and also like i said i been fighting since im 5 years old well over 100 fights in the ring and want too have him train me because hes the best and keeps the environment clean safe and fun and keeps me motivated he also was there and supported me great all the shows i fight on i learned so much training with the team

Our 14 yr old son has been working with Coach KJ for the past 8 months and loves every session. The sessions are intense and vary so that all muscle groups are developed. Core training is emphasized and we have seen a tremendous improvement in our sons strength and coordination. Coach KJ really connects with his clients and cares about their whole well being from their athletic development to their school work, mental and spiritual health and then back to the physical development. He treats his kids with respect and the same is shown to him. Grateful for Coach KJs passion and commitment and we look forward to seeing our kid continue to develop. Btw beautiful new facility, lots of space and fantastic additions to the staff!!

First of all KJ is a man of god and you see that instantly when you step in a room with him. A man that i trained with from 15-18 years old for football. But when you train with KJ, you realize what he’s doing is so much more than the sport and getting in shape. He makes you mentally tough and teaches you the right mentality on just about everything in life!! I am now 20 years old working on my career and when things get hard or i need motivation i always think back to the wise words KJ used to always preach!! He definitely instilled greatness into my mind and made me more confident as not just an athlete but a young man. Best trainer in the DMV!!!

Coach KJ stands behind his brand and his word!I would recommend to any parent with a student athlete!

KJ is a first class trainer that is honest, hardworking, passionate and caring. He epitomizes “practice what you preach” and demands the very best out of “each” of his trainees. His devotion to physical, mental and spiritual health is evident in the results. KJs genuine personality, relentless motivation and amazing presentation promote the largest of dreams and pave the path to achieving them. KJ is on the level of a Tony Robbins or Eric Thomas. KJ and his staff has had a direct impact on multiple D1 student athletes both in the classroom and on the field. Team Ascension challenges individuals and teams and pushes them greater heights. The Team Ascension business model establishes long term discipline and lifelong results. So if your looking for an environment of brotherhood and family that demands excellence...look no further.FULLSPEED!

KJ is probably the best trainer in the DMV and that isn’t an exaggeration. From youth to full blown collegiate athletes, KJ trains and has produced phenoms in all sports from Football to Volleyball and even Wrestling. KJ works thoroughly with all of his clients and pushes each and every one to their full potential. KJ was my trainer for over 5 years and is a big reason why i am the athlete that i am today. Aside from training, KJ is an honest man, who has his clients best interest in mind. He instills good habits, a great mentality and often gives great words of wisdom and motivation. KJ works through the faith of the Lord and won’t give up until each of his clients reach their goals and often exceed them! Shout out to KJ for changing lives, it’s more than sports. He has molded young men and women into great people in society, in the household, in the classroom and on the field. FULL SPEED... ALL THE TIME! Something i will live by forever!

My son Tevin has been with Team Ascension for more than 3yrs now. I can honestly tell you that Tevin would not have 20 scholarship offers and a commitment to play football at Arizona State University next year if it were not for Kevin Johnson and Team Ascension. I love the way KJ pushes Tevin to be better. He treats Tevin like he has no offers at all. Always trying to make him go beyond where he thinks he can go. But the most impressive thing to me is not just the physical part of training but also the mental and spiritual aspects also. KJ is always teaching how to grow as a human being and giving good sound advice. He basically is backing up what we teach at home. There have been lots of trainers that wanted to work with Tevin over the years but we know where he belongs. Thanks KJ and Team Ascension!

Team Ascension is the real deal. If you want results and you want someone that will push your child to his/her fullest potential, then you need to book now!

Awesome training and an amazing trainer!

Both my son and Iove this place

Great Trainer!!
