Ashland Strength Studio: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Tess is a superb trainer and has cultivated such an accepting and encouraging space in their studio! I've never been in a gym space where I've felt so comfortable asking questions and moving at my own pace. Tess genuinely cares about creating a workout that caters to each individual's abilities, body, and goals. Would recommend Ashland Strength Studio to anyone of any experience level - Tess will make sure you feel welcomed and will teach you to love strength training!

Fantastic experience: Tess was absolutely amazing. The classes were wonderfully structured and she gave modifications for those that needed it. She always focused on listening to your body. Very happy that I stopped in to try this place!

Fantastic experience: I've been only to a kettlebell and yoga class thus far, and I am thrilled. Tess is the bombdiggety - knowledgable, down to earth, fun, smart, sassy, encouraging. Freaking so excited that she's graced our community with her bad self. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Fantastic experience: My general apprehension about strength training went away in the first 5 minutes. The small class experience is intimate, but you've got freedom to set your own pace and define your own limits. Tess and Valerie make an amazing team!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Tess when she was living in Seattle. I had never done strength training before, had a lot of complex feelings about movement and exercise, and I was not super comfortable in my body. Tess and I worked together in-person for a year, and I learned to love strength training, the feeling of getting stronger and more comfortable in myself, and the simple joy of lifting (and swinging) heavy things. I also just got to know my body better than I ever have before, which has made movement in all areas of my life more conscious, intentional, and joyful. After Tess moved down to Ashland we started training virtually, using my home kettle bells. It has kept me moving, growing, and just feeling good. I would highly recommend Tess as a movement/strength coach, virtually or in-person. I can only envy the folks that get the chance to join her in the new Ashland space!

I prefer laughing with you over crying reading this review, but I guess I'll take it either way. This means the world to me. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I'm delighted to have connected with Tess shortly after she opened her Ashland studio. I was looking for an enthusiastic, knowledgable partner in overcoming years of inertia, and getting ready for adventure. Tess is all that and more! HELL YEAH! No mirrors in the studio, which pushed me to connect with my inner body awareness, and learn techniques based on the way they felt. I wholeheartedly recommend Tess.

It's been so fun watching you come back home to your body and step into this phase of badass adventuring. I'm so delighted and honored to be able to witness it! Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: We stumbled on Tess' class with her 3 classes for $3 each deal and are so happy we did. She's created a beautiful gym space with an inclusive environment, and we felt so welcomed in spite of popping in on vacation. Her kettlebell and yoga classes were a fantastic workout but able to be tailored for any fitness/mobility level. Looking forward to going again next time I'm in town.

Ashland Strength Studio

Hillary! Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to share this! It's been so fun having you in class when you pass through Ashland! Looking forward to next time!

Fantastic experience: Ashland Strength Studio is a genuinely inclusive environment that facilitates self-awareness and intrinsic motivations for preventative physical health education. Expect a highly enthusiastic, individualized approach with minimal gear and zero pretense. Expect only “Hell-Yeah!” energy, great music, great location, and the best clients in Ashland!

Fantastic experience: With my recent health challenges & dwindling desire to go to dance, I’ve been struggling for a couple years now to get enough exercise. I’ve finally found a class and trainer/instructor who inspire me. Tess Ball is knowledgeable, skilled, trauma-sensitive, patient, fun, and nerdy in all the best ways. A few months ago, I tried working with a trainer who has a home gym a block from my house. So convenient, right? Yeah, except that person pushed me to keep doing something even when it hurt, and the workout ended up tweaking my whiplash & giving me a monster headache. Tess, on the other hand, takes my injuries very seriously and is working with me to strengthen and realign my body slowly, so that my body doesn’t go through more trauma as it tries to heal. Tess can tell from my feedback exactly which muscles we need to target, and she has modifications when something doesn’t work. Her focused attention helps me get the most out of the workouts, and is increasing my body awareness (which I’d already thought was pretty high). In short, she’s phenomenal. I couldn’t recommend her more, for one-on-ones or small group training. She’s just the best. UPDATE: Fast forward a few years, and I still think Tess is amazing. We’ve done some workouts over Zoom during the pandemic, and even from far away she was able to see my posture and give me helpful suggestions as I went through my exercises. She tailors a plan not just for my body’s needs overall but for where I’m at that specific day. She’s one of the best things to happen to my life and worth her weight in gold.

Ashland Strength Studio

Thank you so much, Katrina! It’s such a joy to work with you!!! I’m really excited to get to know you more :)

Fantastic experience: Tess is a phenomenal movement coach. She seeks to understand what the true root cause of why you struggle with basic movement. She was able to work with me and help me find additional resources to further improve my health. She is the best. I highly recommended her!

Fantastic experience: As a person who was active my whole life, being sidelined by an injury for over a year made me risk averse and intimidated by even beginning the journey of retuning to an active lifestyle, worried I would make things worse. Working with Tess was without question the best way to return to full health stronger, happier, and more confident than ever before. Tess truly cares about you as an individual (both physically and mentally), has a deep knowledge of the human body, and brings a unique and fun perspective to personal training. Beyond injury recovery, Tess is a badass personal trainer, and you will be stronger and more personally mindful after any amount of time working with her. Whether it's with Russian-style kettlebell workouts, yoga influenced by her training as a yogi, or movements she invents in her own practice, Tess is able to create programs that are personal to you and your body to accomplish your goals. She pays attention to detail and is amazing at coaching you through every movement or lift - with her feedback and lots of practice we tweaked how I do some of the most basic movements like squatting or a pushup, and they feel like entirely new and more effective exercises. She openly shares her innate knowledge of how the body moves to help you understand your body and to help you stay healthy through life's aches and pains. After working with Tess for over a year, I am stronger and more confident than ever, with a greater appreciation for my body, and a newfound appreciation for how it works and how to keep myself healthy. Thank you Tess!

Ashland Strength Studio

This rocks so hard! Thank you! It was so fun to see you progress! You’re one of the hardest working people I know and it was a joy to work with you!

Fantastic experience: Tess is with doubt the best fitness coach I've ever worked with. Her knowledge of the body and how it works with and around injuries is immense. She combines her knowledge with attention to detail, and working with her I'm finally making progress on a 15 year old injury that never healed, and by carefully watching how I moved, she's prevented several more by finding alternative exercises and movements. Even so, she in no way goes easy on you, and working out with her remain challenging and immensely satisfying. As an Acupuncturist who treats hundreds of people per year who've been injured by bad trainers, I would not hesitate to recommend Tess to any of my patients. She is truly exceptional at what she does.

Ashland Strength Studio

Thanks so much, Nick! It’s been so awesome having you in class! Super pumped to hear that it’s feeling good and you’re seeing progress! I really appreciate your words.

Michelle Law 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tess is authentic, fun, honest and I trust her wholeheartedly to keep my wellbeing the utmost priority while using her comprehensive and varied blend of knowledge and tools to be my movement coach. My experience with her also gives me full confidence to recommend her to anyone who might be dealing with an injury, unsure of where to start with fitness or anyone really who is looking for someone who is very observant, with an emphasis on quality of movement, practicality and play! She challenges the ideas of what we "should" be doing and encourages exploration of what feels good.

Ashland Strength Studio

Thank you so much! I adore you guys and am SO grateful for you! So happy to move with you!!!

Fantastic experience: Tess was a godsend!. I broke my ankle in three places and she had me strong and confident in no time. She is very knowledgeable about the body, a clear communicator, and fun. You will so glad you chose to put yourself in Tess's capable hands.

Ashland Strength Studio

Helen, thank you! I miss your laughter in the studio! Hopefully you're off hiking somewhere! Hope you're SO well!

Emily Stewart 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: What I most liked about Tess was her creative exploration of the body. You can tell that she's interested in fitness on a much deeper level than the typical muscle/ cardio-obsessed trainer. She showed me new functional fitness movements that I'd never seen before and encouraged me to step out of my "box."

Ashland Strength Studio

Thank you, Emily! I really appreciate it! It was so great to meet you! Hope you’re well!

Fantastic experience: Tess is fantastic! She is inspiring with her own fitness and can do all sorts of crazy things but she is the best at making things doable for all fitness levels. I loved training with Tess-- do it!

Casey Brown 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: It was always wonderful to work with Tess. She is smart, patient and knows her stuff. She also knows how to make things work so you can truly understand the movements and exercises. I look forward to when I get to work with her again.

Fantastic experience: I found Tess when looking for a trainer to work with after an ankle injury. I was new to the world of physical activity but she had a blog post about working out like a pirate (when you have one foot damaged) and her playful tone in the article told me that this might be the trainer for me. I was right! Tess' attitude was immensely helpful, positive, and fun!  I now LIKE strength training which was inconceivable a few years ago. I think it's amazing and empowering and a freaking high and that is entirely because Tess was willing to meet me exactly where I was (a couch potato) and step by step take me to the next thing. I always feel that I'm in safe hands with Tess; she challenges me in the perfect way that will get me over the next obstacle without discouraging me. It is not an understatement to say that Tess has changed my life. I know that sounds cheesy but it's absolutely true. I went from wanting a few exercises I could do while sidelined with a sprained ankle to making daily movement an integral part of my life.

Ashland Strength Studio

Thank you, Jill! See you soon! Hope you're bringing Hilde for some TGUs! Haha.

Brit Mercer 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tess is simply amazing. Not only does she have a wonderful soul, she's so incredibly knowledgeable about the human body. Whether working on strength, movement or active recovery, Tess is a wealth of knowledge and is an amazing teacher. She truly changed my life and helped me work through some difficult body issue in a number of ways. I'm forever grateful to have crossed paths with her.

Ashland Strength Studio

Thank you so much, Brit! This means the world to me! I have no doubt you're still rockin' it!
