Mike Mackey brings nearly two decades of experience to the Ascend Team. With a diverse strength and conditioning background that includes experience in corporate, small business, and academic settings, Mike has left no stone unturned when it comes to helping people remain active and healthy.

A native of St.John’s and a Dalhousie graduate (BScK ‘15), Mike has worked with thousands of people in Atlantic Canada, providing guidance for absolute beginners, to working with high-level athletes, and everyone in between.

Mike is a big believer in “sustainable progression” - finding movement that is enjoyable while working on ways to continuously improve, so your favorite activities become a permanent part of your life.

Mike has found that his clients’ greatest success usually came when training in a multidisciplinary setting. He believes that working alongside other healthcare professionals like chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists, is the single-best way to improve movement quality - especially when dealing with pain or injury.

When he’s not in the clinic or working on his own S&C goals, Mike can be found on the softball field, the bowling alley, or cheering on his beloved Leafs or Blue Jays.
