Ascend Health was born from a powerful sibling partnership between Jennifer (Boselli) Wright, a successful Pilates studio owner in Denver, and her brother Tony Boselli, an NFL Hall of Fame player with expertise in health diagnostics.

Jennifer's journey began with a frustrating pattern she observed in her Club Pilates studios: members working hard but not achieving their desired results. "I know I'm stronger, but I'm not losing weight" was a common refrain. Meanwhile, Tony had learned through his athletic career that peak performance required addressing underlying health factors beyond just training.

In 2023, Jennifer's personal transformation through functional medicine became the catalyst for Ascend Health. After losing 30 pounds and experiencing dramatic health improvements by addressing hormone imbalances and nutritional deficiencies, she knew she had discovered something that could help her members break through their plateaus.

"We realized fitness studios are often the first choice for people seeking better health, but workouts alone don't address root causes like hormone issues, nutrition gaps, and stress," explains Tony. "Traditional medicine often just treats symptoms, leaving people frustrated."

Together, this brother-sister team created Ascend Health—a functional medicine practice designed exclusively for gym and studio members. Their family business bridges the gap between fitness and healthcare, helping members achieve sustainable results while giving studio owners a powerful retention tool and additional revenue stream without upfront costs.

"Our mission is simple," Jennifer shares. "We help people truly transform by addressing the whole person—not just their workouts. That's how we help them ascend to new levels of health and happiness."
