Chronic Pain Education

I have had chronic pain for almost 30 years and after working with my chiropractor, physical therapist, multiple doctors, massage therapist, and acupuncturist I was finally cleared to work with a personal trainer! At first, I tried working with personal trainers at other large facilities (the one that starts with a “L”) and they made me worse. They did not account for my chronic pain and how my body is unique in how it moves, its limitations with EDS and hypermobility, and my other chronic illnesses. I could not walk more than 1 mile maximum per day only a few times a week so was mainly homebound. I was referred to Unstoppable Training and am forever grateful to Ashley and Jesse for everything they have done to help me recover as well as work with my body to get healthier and stronger! They took the time to understand my life from a holistic level – diet, pain/limitations, sleep, stressors, movement measurement, and much more. They get that pain can be caused by many factors and they partnered with me to improve them! Ashley asks very thoughtful, educated, and considerate questions to my physical therapist and chiropractors so we can all figure out what the best next steps are. Ashley curates and continuously partnered with me and my health team to update our workouts so they’re effective and take Load & Capacity into account. Trying to make this review short is hard – I’m very grateful for all the education, helpful insight, and genuine kindness Ashley and Jesse have shown me throughout this recovery journey. I have thrown many “curveballs” at them with my complex health issues and they have helped me go from 1 mile walks to hiking 5 miles on a trail!!! I *never* thought I’d be able to do that ever again! HIGHLY recommend Unstoppable Training if you’re experiencing any pain and your current treatments aren’t making much progress. Ashley and Jesse truly care about helping you meet your goals from a holistic health perspective. They also do remote sessions which is a nice bonus if you can’t leave your house!

I started with the trainers to help me alleviate pain I have had for years. Years! Those two are absolutely fantastic. Taking the time to establish where I was strength wise and to show progress. They worked me through several irritations of exercises to pinpoint what muscles weren’t working. Once we had that we started working on them. Making changes in my life to reduce stress and their training I can say for the first time I have no pain. At all. I feel so much better every single day and stronger too. We have regular check ins to establish new goals as I progress. Take Load & Capacity seriously. It changes your life in a great way once you pay attention. They care about helping YOU meet your goals. Really great peeps.

I've been meaning to write this review for a long time. I started training with Ashley just after the pandemic began. I'm not young anymore (40's) and I have a long history of both acute and repetitive use injuries that have put me through several rounds of physical therapy. Despite all of the physical therapy, I was still dealing with a significant amount of pain. Worse, I was afraid to exercise because I didn't want to re-injure myself. My goal for training was to build balanced strength that would allow me to physically move through life unrestricted by pain or fear of injury. Over the last 2.5 years, Ashley has helped me reach and exceed that goal. The first milestone was when the low-back pain, that had plagued me for years due to my desk job, disappeared. Then my posture improved, no more slumped shoulders. When small injuries occurred in life, we worked through them and I was usually back to 100% within a week or 2. Then I moved out of state. I was worried about finding another trainer, but thankfully I was able to continue our sessions via Zoom. Then came another milestone; stamina. I can stand through a concert and not be miserably tired/sore. I helped my daughter move out of her apartment and lapped both she and her partner going up and down the stairs. My son tires out long before me on outings. About 2 weeks ago, I stepped wrong off an unmarked curb and managed to break my foot. As it rolled forward, the strength and stability in my other leg actually kept me from face planting on the asphalt (YAY). I'm currently on week 3 of a CAM boot, knee scooter, and no weight bearing allowed for that foot. Now I'm especially thankful for the work that Ashley and I put in on strengthening my legs. I truly wouldn't be able to get around nearly as well as I do right now had this happened 3 years ago. Even though I can't do my normal work-outs, Ashley still checks in on me. We talk before doctor appointments about the kinds of questions I should ask so that she can support my recovery. I'm hoping we can get back to our sessions again soon. Signing up with Ashley has been the nicest gift I've ever given myself.

Jesse and Ashley are amazing! Very knowledgeable and super kind. They walk you through everything making the whole process simple and easy while providing top quality service. No matter your situation they find a way to help you. Highly Recommend!

Started just 3 weeks ago and already feeling and moving better! Coach Ashley and JessE are the best and I’m grateful to be here. I look forward to coming in and if I'm already doing things I didn't think I could anymore (not without feeling it or regretting later); I’m ready to see what else is coming! I have full faith in UNSTOPPABLE Training and if you are feeling frustrated in life or your situation like I was, it CAN get better! These girls will spend time figuring out if you are a good fit to work with them and go through all of the details! I’ve never been taken care of from day one from any other gym. They are not just another gym that's for sure! I’m happy I did this! I'm learning a lot and feel comfortable in the process! Thanks again! It won’t hurt to see if they can help you, do it!

I have loved working out at unstoppable training with coach Ashley. She is kind and encouraging and help you built strength and I feel stronger. I had problem with my back but it has improved so much since I started. I can really recommend training with her.

I have love working out here! Ashley helped me recover from a broken wrist with personalized training focused on exactly what I needed to be able to move and function better. I’ve learned a ton here about process and especially proper form! If you are looking for a place to help YOU meet YOUR goals, this is your place!!

Would 100% recommend, because the people are awesome. This is not just physical fitness training; this is WHOLE self, personal growth. I have arthritis in my spine and one hip. This summer I could barely walk out to the mailbox without severe and lingering pain. I felt like I would never be able to work out like I used to. 6 weeks into sessions here, and I walked 2 miles when I took my kiddo trick or treating on Halloween - PAIN FREE. And I have no words adequate to describe the joy that brought me. All it took was me showing up and at least trying. Even when I couldn’t move much. Just kept going back. And BAM. *victory dance* Zero hip pain. I can sleep. I can walk. I can dance. And I’m not stopping. :)
