Fitness Testimonials

---

I have known Ashley for over 10 years, and I've watched her grow from a college athlete to a professional fitness competitor. This young professional is the epitome of a goal achiever. Over the past 4-5 years, I have struggled with my weight, which fluctuates between 135 and 180 pounds, my heaviest prior to having my baby. Before my body underwent the process of pregnancy, I could easily lose weight through fad diets, but I still faced the challenge of toning and maintaining a steady weight. Before I got pregnant, I was able to get back down to 145 lbs with a reasonable diet and cardio. When I became pregnant in the summer of 2014, I initially managed my weight until about my 8th and 9th months when I gained the most weight due to water retention, poor diet, and a decrease in exercise (partly because of bed rest). During my pregnancy, I gained 90 lbs and weighed my heaviest at 235 lbs. I thought this weight would magically disappear after I gave birth, but I only lost about 15 pounds afterward. As a new mom, I faced many challenges, including accepting the responsibility of caring for another being, realizing that nothing would ever be the same, and coping with the changes my body went through in such a short time. Life never goes as planned; due to medical issues from my pregnancy, I had to undergo a c-section, resulting in a slow and painful recovery. As a first-time mom, I also had to adjust to my new body. Everyone says to give it a few months for my body to return to normal, but I discovered that every body is different. Along with poor health choices, my family has bad genes, and I didn't "bounce back" as expected. I found I had gained a few more pounds after having the baby because I continued to make poor health choices, partly due to depression. After facing continuous disappointment in my physical appearance, I decided to embark on my weight loss journey to reclaim my pre-baby body. I initially resorted to fad diets again, managing to drop a few pounds but not enough for my satisfaction. It was then that I realized I needed help. I reached out to Ashley, who is not just my sister but also a trusted friend. From our first consultation, she listened to my needs and goals as her client. With her experience in weight control, she provided me with a meal plan and a rigorous workout routine. What I appreciate most about Ashley is her constant motivation and presence throughout my fitness journey. I've learned so much about health and fitness through our process together, particularly her weight lifting techniques, the different muscle groups, and proper eating habits. Since starting this journey, I have lost 72 lbs, gained muscle strength, and toned my entire body. I went from a size 18 to a comfortable 10, and from an XL to M/L. As of today, I am still working with Ashley to achieve my goals, and I can confidently say we are more than halfway there. With her as my inspiration and her competitive spirit, I am sure I will regain my six-pack. I truly recommend her for anyone looking for personal trainer testimonials or client success stories related to their fitness goals! Thank you, Rock Out Fitness LLC, for everything you have done for me. I pray that God continues to allow you to change people's lives. Your company has had a tremendous impact on my life; you have helped me develop a positive mindset, transforming me from someone who thinks, "I can," to someone who knows, "I can!"

I have always been overweight for the majority of my life, and the struggle to lose weight has been a constant battle for me. Time and time again, I tried to live a healthier lifestyle, but I often found myself giving up, making excuses, or simply not caring. One day, I woke up, looked at myself in the mirror, and said, 'You're fat as f%#$; that is not cute.' Excuse my language, but I had to be honest; who was I lying to? When your stomach looks like you’re four months pregnant and you’re not even pregnant, that’s a problem. When your clothes don’t fit and you’re bursting out of the seams, that’s a problem. Now, before my words get twisted, I love myself so much, and my self-esteem has never been an issue. It was time for a change for the better, and I was ready. I contacted Ashley Roberson and desperately asked her to help me. I knew I could not begin my weight loss journey without the structure of a professional. I certainly didn’t know how to work out, meal plan, or where to start. When I reached out, Ashley made me feel comfortable while talking with her. She is attentive, informative, and patient, and she answered all my questions and concerns. Ashley motivated me to start ASAP—she is body goals, lol. When I started my weight loss journey, I weighed 245 lbs. In the beginning, it was so rough. I’m not going to lie; I wanted to give up numerous times. However, Ashley never once gave up on me. I complained, cried, got upset—you name it; I tried it. Ashley made sure that every time I thought I couldn’t do it, she was there to get me back on track. I continued to push through all the training she provided for me, even when I felt like working out was too hard. Fast forward a year later, I now weigh 165 lbs. Can you believe that? I still can’t believe I made it to my goal with all the help from Ashley. She is great at what she does, and I can never thank her enough. Having Ashley as my personal trainer was the best decision I ever made to help me achieve my goal. I am living a healthier lifestyle all because of her. Ashley taught me what to eat, how to prepare my food, strength training, and most importantly, proper form! I highlight form because if you don’t know what you’re doing while working out, it’s one of the quickest ways to injure yourself, and you don’t want that. I am living proof that with Ashley, you will get results. Trust me! This is just one of many client success stories that showcase the impact a dedicated trainer can have on your weight loss journey.

As I celebrate my 1 year anniversary with my personal trainer Ashley, I just wanted to highlight how much I’ve changed in the past year. The pic on the left was taken June 17, 2017, and the one on the right was June 15, 2018. My weight loss journey has been incredible, and hard work and dedication have helped me transform into a better person both mentally and physically. I can’t thank Ashley enough for being a part of my client success stories and for helping me get back to loving and taking care of myself the way I should! Today is our anniversary, girl! #BestTrainerIEverHad #TransformationThursday #FitChicksRock #BlackGirlsWorkOut

When I made the decision to start my fitness journey in January 2021, it had been over a year since I earned my first undergraduate degree in psychology, an accomplishment I achieved while playing five seasons of college football. Since then, I developed some poor habits, including binge-eating, drinking, and staying up late watching TV. The 2020 pandemic further impacted my health, work, and studies as a student physical therapy assistant, and my weight had ballooned to 320 pounds.

At that point, I told myself, “enough is enough,” while scrolling through Instagram in search of online personal trainer testimonials. When I first joined with Ashley, I aimed to make a long-term investment in my health and lifestyle. My initial program was the 30-Day Ab Challenge, which I started in February 2021. The first two weeks were incredibly challenging as I learned meal prep for the first time. My determination wavered while trying to balance workouts with studying for classes. I even tossed out snacks from the pantry to curb my sweet cravings. I remember being in tears after day 5 of the Ab Challenge, feeling defeated before I could finish the workout.

I wanted to quit so badly, but I recalled what my mom said: “it is a marathon, not a sprint.” That same night, I watched a YouTube video by Ashley Roberson. In her ‘Tip of the Week’ video, Ashley encouraged viewers by saying, “regardless of the results, regardless of the outcome, work towards your goals… get back in that gym, work on those weak points and come back undeniable.” That message resonated with me and inspired my commitment to my workouts, meal prep, and time management. Although I haven’t told Ashley, that video has motivated me to give my best effort in every workout, and I’ve revisited it multiple times.

When I completed the Ab Challenge in March 2021, I had lost 30 pounds. Naturally, I decided to continue my journey with Ashley and become part of the Rock Out Squad. As of July 2023, I now weigh 200 pounds. I feel more confident and appreciative of who I am, both inside and out. I wake up with a sense of purpose to go to the gym, and I can proudly wear 30-inch jeans and large-size T-shirts. My weight loss journey has even inspired my friends, family, and fellow gym-goers.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Ashley Roberson. Although I’ve never met her in person (I live in Nashville, Tennessee), she has proven to be the best choice as my personal trainer. She is understanding and easy to talk to, yet also tough when necessary. Most importantly, Ashley is the type of trainer who cheers you on, no matter who you are or what your personal goals are, whether it’s for a sports competition, wedding day, or lifestyle change. If I had to do it all again, I would still choose Rock Out Fitness, and I’m proud to share my client success story.

On January 1st, 2025, I made a promise to myself to step into this new year as a new person. At 27, now 28, something just clicked for me, inspiring a desire to treat myself better. I had numerous goals and aspirations for my life at that time, but when I looked in the mirror, I often felt defeated by my weight. Throughout my life, I struggled to maintain a healthy weight, and after discovering I was on the brink of serious health issues, I realized I needed to make a change for myself. I found Ash and her amazing services through a mutual friend, and after witnessing the incredible work she did with her, I knew I had to reach out! I DM'd her with a few questions, and the rest is history! From day one, Ash made me feel comfortable and instilled confidence in me; it was the best I had felt in ages! Ash is a true professional and a master of her craft, and she's an overall amazing person. She sees the best version of her clients and pushes you to achieve things you never thought possible. I never would have imagined such an incredible weight loss journey. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ash. You've helped me unlock a version of myself that feels unrecognizable, and the results are undeniably inspiring. We locked in real bad, and I'm honored to experience this journey with you and the #RockOut fam! This is just one of the many client success stories that showcase the impact of such a dedicated personal trainer.

My journey with Ash began with a rather unexpected turn of events. I had my regular routine check-up with the doctor, and during that visit, I started going to the gym once a month. However, my workouts were minimal, and I barely engaged in any physical activity.

Suddenly, I received a call from my doctor. It wasn’t the usual nurse, but my actual doctor on the phone. My heart sank as I realized something was wrong. He informed me that if I didn’t make significant changes to my diet, our next conversation would revolve around discussing diabetes medication and high blood pressure medication.

At the age of 28, I couldn’t believe that I was borderline in both categories. I took a hard look at myself and my body, realizing that change needed to happen. I understood that I would require substantial assistance in both working out and adopting a healthy diet.

In the past, I had attempted to work out, but I always gained the weight back or resorted to fasting, which had the opposite effect and made me eat even more. I stumbled upon a workout video that Ash had created for one of her clients, and I told myself I would be able to do that!

On January 14th, I had my first session with Ash, and it was an incredible experience. Her attention to detail with her clients is unmatched. I work out with my partner and Ash, and we discuss the unique needs of our bodies and what we need to achieve our goals.

Ash doesn’t just push our bodies to achieve the results we desire; she also pushes our mindsets. She inspires us to embrace a healthy lifestyle and makes it a fun and safe journey. Every workout with Ash ensures that I am in proper form, comfortable, and confident in the gym. I also have the best laughs during our sessions.

Ash is a personal trainer you won’t find anywhere else. She has transformed my life, and my weight loss journey has been nothing short of amazing. I went from 235 pounds to 197 pounds, and if you get anything from my story, it’s to trust Ash and the process. You won’t regret it at all. This is just one of many client success stories that showcase how impactful her training can be. #rockoutfitnessllc #didyoudie? #itshappening
