Muscle Imbalance Assessments
“THE movement guy. If I had any clients who were struggling with movement/rehabilitation I’d send them Ash’s way over a physio!”
— Dan Phillips - Personal Trainer
“Ash listens really well and does a full analysis on you by taking videos (so you can look back on how to do the movements) , taking you through the movements whilst showing you what areas to focus on in the movements. He also follows up with a break down of how to do them on your own but he is always there if you need extra help or don’t understand something. Not only that but you can keep doing them/ use them as your warm up. [Since working with Ash] My shoulder pain went away! The exercises I was given did wonders to activate my lat and take the pressure off of my shoulder from having to do all the work. If I did anything overhead after a few sets the pain would be really excruciating however that has since eased and can comfortably get through my workouts now pain free. I would highly recommend Ash and his methods. I genuinely think it’s ground breaking and revolutionary! As mentioned I’ve tried physios etc but Ash so far has been the only one to relive/ take away the pain from my right shoulder!”
— Jarrod Reeves - CrossFitter
“There's a few [results]. My back is a lot better. No more spasms as i bend down to the ball in golf for instance. I hit the golf ball further as my rotation is now a lot better after Ashley's programme (I'm golf mad!!). I was very restricted due to my back, golfer's elbow and I also dislocated my right shoulder skiing a few years, so there was a lot to fix!! [Ash’s] programme has allowed me to train with much heavier weights as no gripping which is very bad for my golfer's elbow. So, gym much better and I'm now playing golf again with no effects. VERY happy man!!”
— Simon Fenton - Investment Professional and Avid Golfer
“I had injuries that led into more injuries due to overtraining. It got to a point that going to osteos/physios twice a month wasn't sustainable anymore so I needed a solution! [Since working with Ash] I have recovered from 3 injuries and not being able to shake hands properly due to a wrist sprain to now hitting PBs with olympic lifts in a pain free zone
Ash's service, unlike other specialists who treat injuries, is focused on treating the source of the pain by improving overall mobility. That means you won't only get better from injuries but also become a healthier and stronger individual by working on your individualised programming tailored by Ash. I have spent loads of money in physios, osteos and other specialists throughout my entire life and the pain would always come back after a while. With Ash the result is for good. I have never felt better and fitter!”
— Lucas Schmidt - CrossFit Athlete and Coach
“Squat position has improved massively- which has been extremely useful in Crossfit it has allowed me to stay injury free but also become more efficient in my movement. I would highly recommend Ash”
— Aaron Straker - CrossFitter
He was very lovely and I felt very heard. He found the core functionality of dance moves that I do repetitively and pinpointed where my areas of weakness were. He explained super clearly why I might be experiencing pain and have a super clear plan for how to get from pain to not pain by small increments. I feel I understand the function of my body much better and I’m optimistic to be pain free in the future.
— Cat Foley - Professional Dancer
I felt like my body needed rebalancing after training for a year parts of my body had be some stronger than others causing a dominance to form and my body to not work efficiently. I decided to work with Ash because I’d seen him train in the gym and I’d also been told of his great reputation. Since working with him I’ve gained a ton of knowledge of how my body works, thank you Ash :)
— Monica Swayne - West End Dancer and CrossFit athlete
Coaching
“Where to start...my strength has increased dramatically, and I'm finally injury free! Even throughout all of the injuries we've managed to make leaps forward. I think my gymnastics strength has improved a heap! So glad I came to Ash, have no negative things to say and think it's the best decision I've made in fitness. His dedication to what he does makes me dedicated to what I do, and I really think that is all you can ask for.”
— Paul Plant - City Professional and CrossFitter
“I have been in the industry for years and have been surrounded by an abundance of fitness professionals. There is no one I would recommend over Ash, no matter the goal. His knowledge is beyond any other professional I've come across and the fact that he continues to be mentored is a real selling point for me. I have never enjoyed my training as much as I do now and have also never seen the same kind of results. My lifestyle has improved as well as my training and nutrition. If hesitant about starting with Ash, don't be. He will make you feel at ease during your sessions and always push you to do your best whilst commending your progress along the way. My sessions with Ash are the highlight of my week and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to start/progress/refine their training.”
— Tess - Yoga teacher and personal trainer
“As expected, Ash has been incredibly thoughtful about the programme he wrote for me and with the advice he dispenses. I certainly feel a lot more in control about my training. After all, for those of us that train for performance and not to compete, we have to constantly strike the balance between doing too much (which takes a toll on what we really care about) and too little. Ash has been a great steadying presence in this regard.”
— Lian Kor - Investment Professional
“[Working with Ash] has been collaborative, Ash has taken into account my goals, what I have available and my current strengths/weaknesses in putting together a progressive and fun to follow programme. Single best result would be helping me to get my 5k run time from 29:31 to 22:12 in less than 2 months. Ash always provides timely feedback and his cues, despite them having to be virtual for now, are always on point and have an instant impact - thanks Ash for the help and guidance!”
— Josh Flax - Management Consultant and Avid CrossFitter
"[Working together has been] Amazing. My program get updated on time, if I have any questions ash replies ASAP as well as when I send videos for feedback. I always get an in depth reply on things to improve on. [I now have] Confidence that I’m now on the right path. I couldn’t pick a specific lift because every single one of my lifts have increased massively! My only regret is that I didn’t start sooner”
— Lewis Serpell - Student and CrossFit Athlete
“I am much more aware of my weak points and know how to focus on them during training. I know why I am doing things in training and where I have to put my mind. I have a goal in my movements and sessions instead of rushing through them. Moreover the strength gains are visible, especially in my legs and my cardio levels are still high or even higher.
Ash always have a good word for me. When I think that everything is going in wrong direction, he has some wise advice, which keeps my motivated in my training process. Ash have a good understanding for the athlete which is very busy. I have very busy schedule and I am not very responsive which may be hard for him in doing his job but I feel full understanding from him.”
