Working out with a personal trainer is new to me. I'd put it off for years, out of fear and not prioritizing my needs. I finally took the leap just some months ago! It was an easy and thoughtful process: I sent Ashley an email, had an introductory assessment call, and scheduled a visit to the gym, Truve Fitness, where Ashely holds sessions. I am soooooooo glad I trusted my gut! Ashley is incredibly enthusiastic about helping people learn more about their bodies, pushing them in a way that celebrates positive risk-taking while also honoring any limitations/needs that arise.

From day one, she has 1) attentively listened to what I'm wanting to hone in on, 2) kept workouts creative, inspiring, and targeted to my needs, 3) not allowed me to give up easily but, instead, cheered me on, knowing I can go the extra mile, 4) adjusted and adapted exercises when necessary, and 5) brought some real-deal joy, fun, and sincerity to the whole experience!

There is a warmth and fire about Ashley that she infuses into each session. This energy combo uplifts me, allows me to challenge myself, and offers gentleness in harder moments. Her knowledge of the complex workings of the body (what we are activating with each exercise) is super helpful and creates a visual map to internalize. Even though I'm still struggling to implement a consistent home-based routine, Ashley remains encouraging and continues to provide me options for at-home or gym-oriented workout plans. I know I will get there; because in these last few months, I feel stronger, less fearful, and much more interested in trying new things to strengthen and understand my body. Thank you so much, Ashley!!

Ashley has been my trainer for the past few months with a focus on body recomposition and has been a GODSEND. Not only is she knowledgeable and listens to your needs, she's also really good at balancing that with her ability to push you. I can't tell you how many times I would mentally say "no", but she'd always say "just try. If it's too heavy we can always go lower". To my surprise EVERY TIME, I end up doing it and hitting a personal record. She's kind, diligent, attentive, stern when need be, willing to adapt based on where your body is at that day and will always ensure you get a good workout in. I'm still a work in progress, but have never been in better shape in my adult life. Hands down, hiring Ashley has been the best decision I've made with regards to my fitness!

Ashley is fantastic. I'd never worked with a personal trainer before and was unsure what I would get out of it, but Ashley was everything I could have hoped for. Her approach was built on enthusiasm and gentle pushes, with no judgment.

I saw Ashley in-person at Truve Fitness. She planned out great workouts using their equipment and helped me adapt the exercises to the equipment I had at home.

She is enthusiastic about fitness and her clients, and I found it infectious -- even overcoming my internal critic.

She's highly knowledgeable, and when I worked with her, she was also getting her Master's in Public Health from UC Berkeley. Whenever I asked her a question, she treated it seriously, and if she didn't know the answer right away she'd always try to go find it.

When my program with Ashley came to an end, she continued to support me in my fitness journey. She recommended gyms and classes to try where she felt I could get the most benefit, even down to individual instructors.

I can't recommend Ashley enough.

Ashley has been my trainer for almost 2 years now and I love training with her! Ashley keeps me motivated with dynamic supersets and pushes me to reach my goals. And she does it all with a smile! Plus her playlists are always bumping too. I love how she incorporate her new yoga learnings to our cooldowns as well. Makes me feel like I'm getting a mix of strength and yoga together! I've seen so much gains in my muscles and I also feel so much more comfortable and confident in my own body thanks to consistent strength training with Ashley. She is always down to accomodate my busy schedule and will check in periodically to discuss my goals. I appreciate the check ins. Also her meticulous documentation helps me keep track of my workouts, progress, and nutrition plan! Highly recommend Ashley for your personal training needs! She makes working out fun, tailors it to my needs, and achieves results! Thanks Ashley!

I was never interested in exercise until working at home and covid-belly increased my shirt size. Finding Ashley has been amazing for me! She accepted me as I am ... a person who had never been inside a gym and totally unsure about anything related to working out. Five months later, we're doing personal training sessions three times a week and I absolutely love this! I'm getting stronger, loosing weight, and feel great! Ashley brings joy, motivation, and laughter to something I thought I probably wouldn't like at all. Exercise has to be social for me because I won't end up doing it alone ... and Ashley is a great conversationalist while making each session full with a variety of exercises for different muscle groups. Even though I'm a beginner, I can honestly say 'I really, really like working out' with her. Ashley is the best!!!

Where do I begin...Ashley is amazing! She is encouraging, professional and thoughtful. It is abundantly clear that she cares deeply about her clients. I experience it every week not just during my sessions with her, but in my conversations in between.

She is knowledgeable about various methods that are helpful in achieving my unique wellness goals. Ashley's approach is holistic; she wants to hear about how I am sleeping, how I am feeling, what are my environmental conditions that may make it challenging to meet my goals, she is also a thought partner in helping to figure out how to best overcome those barriers.

She's just the best and I highly recommend working with her!

Ashley is the best! She took the time to get to know me, my goals, and my limitations to build a personalized routine that's evolved in our time working together.

Beyond her fitness expertise, Ashley's enthusiasm is contagious. She brings a level of energy to every session that pushes me to do my best and stay motivated.

Communication is key in any trainer/client relationship, and this is an area Ashley shines. She's always available to answer questions, provide feedback, and suggest additional exercises to do outside of our time together to help achieve my goals.

Over the past few months, I've seen a significant improvement in my strength, endurance, and overall knowledge of how to use different pieces of gym equipment.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley to anyone seeking a personal trainer!

Working with Ashley was such a joy! I came to her with a few strength training goals and really wanted to learn proper form. She created a program to help me meet my goals and adjusted the plan as necessary. Ashley was thoughtful, friendly, and encouraging during every session. By the end of my time with her, I felt stronger and more confident in my strength training practice.

Ashley is an incredible trainer! I was a total beginner when I started coming to her, I was just looking to learn some basics and make exercising more accessible on my own. Ashley took great care to modify our sessions depending on how I was feeling that specific day. She tailored everything we did to what I needed (even when I wasn't sure what I needed). I always felt sooo incredible at the end of our sessions. She is such a kind motivator as well as a great instructor- I highly recommend contacting her if you're looking for a trainer!

I worked with Ashley for 5 months to understand more about weekly fitness routines and to learn some strength training exercises.

Her sessions are effective and efficient. She has sharp attention to detail and helped me improve form while getting the most out of every movement.

I learned many compound movements to maximize the number of muscle groups being worked out during a session.

I feel strong and confident when I leave my sessions and throughout the week. Ashley is an all around amazing person and really helped me build a healthy relationship with fitness and the gym.

I had a goal of eventually stopping personal training and continuing on my own and she helped me get there with the amount of time we had.

I can't recommend Ashley enough and you should definitely schedule a sessions with her.
