Ascent Movement and Capacity Profile
See what your results look like
The AMCP brings your testing together into one profile: strength, mobility, balance, aerobic capacity, metabolism, body composition and lifestyle. Each area gets a score, your results become a fitness age, and the areas with the most room to improve become your plan.
Below is the profile of a sample member, a man aged 48, across three assessments over about a year.
Sample member generated report
One profile
Seven areas, each scored out of 100
Higher is always better. Most scores compare you with people of your own age and sex; mobility compares each joint with its normal range, and lifestyle compares your habits with health guidelines. The overall score combines all seven, giving more weight to the areas that most strongly predict long-term health, such as aerobic capacity and strength. Open an area to see how it’s tested and what the sample member scored.
Fitness age
The age your results point to
Your VO2max, lower- and upper-body strength, balance and muscle are each compared with typical results for your sex and age, and turned into an age. Together they give your fitness age.
Fitness age: 48
Results in the top 20% for your age and sex lower it.
Results between average and the top 20% count as your actual age, and below-average results raise it. The measures that track age most closely count most.
Fitness age compares results with reference data. It isn’t a prediction of lifespan or a diagnosis.

Meet Dr. Steven Murray
Founder and Clinical Director
Doctor of Chiropractic · Master's in Exercise Physiology · CSEP High Performance Specialist
Dr. Steven Murray is a health and performance clinician whose work sits where clinical care, rehabilitation and exercise physiology meet. He holds a Doctor of Chiropractic, a Master's degree in Exercise Physiology, and the High Performance Specialist designation from the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology.
His clinical practice combines musculoskeletal care, rehabilitation and exercise prescription with objective testing, including VO2max, body-composition assessment and running analysis. He works with active adults, competitive athletes, people focused on staying capable as they age, and people with persistent or complex musculoskeletal concerns. Alongside his clinical work, he teaches through seminars, writing and media, for both the public and fellow professionals.
Ascent grew out of a pattern he saw again and again in practice: capable people whose care was divided between providers, with no one responsible for the whole picture over time.
Why Barbados?
Ascent's connection to Barbados is personal and permanent.
Dr. Murray is a Barbadian citizen. His wife was born on the island, and their extended family and much of the family's wider circle live here. In 2028, the family moves permanently from Toronto, where Dr. Murray currently practises, to build Ascent for the long term.
The clinic is being built for people who live in Barbados, whether year-round or for part of each year, and who want a long-term clinical relationship close to home.
Deliberately small
Ascent will open with Dr. Murray as its lead clinician and a limited number of members. That limit is the point. It protects access, depth of care and the kind of familiarity that makes long-term management work.
Additional clinicians will join as membership grows. Each will be held to the same standards and will work from a shared clinical record, with one designated clinician remaining responsible for each member's plan. Ascent will grow only in ways that protect the quality of care for the members it already has.
