5 /5 Juliet De Nittis: Absolutely the best, most awesome coach!!
I cannot recommend Ash Douglass enough!!! I am 56 years old living with stage 4 terminal cancer that is currently in remission due to a clinical trial. After 2 years of treatment I wanted to reclaim my life and build back my strength ready for upcoming surgery- which was an extremely difficult proposition due to the side effects of treatment, arthritis, peripheral nueropathy, pars defect, bad knees and an enormous hernia awaiting surgery!! It seemed impossible- but not for Ash!!
Ash is dedicated to teaching his clients the tools they need to reach their goals. His humour, care, empathy and positivity combined with his absolute professionalism, expertise and extensive knowledge is demonstrated in his ability to design programs that cater for diversity and are inclusive of differing physical capabilities and limitations whilst still providing an effective targeted workout . Ash prioritises your safety every step of the way as you work out taking all the time needed to explain, demonstrate and teach you how each exercise should be performed. My session is never rushed and Ash never charges extra even when we have run well over time.
I had my hernia surgery (open complex surgery)recently after 7 months training with Ash and my excellent recovery was commented on by the surgeon, my G.P. and physiotherapist. The strength training helped me immensely. As part of the follow up I have seen several allied health professionals; physiotherapist, exercisologist, rheumatologist and cancer movement specialist each and every one of them have commented on how impressed they are with the program Ash has developed for me including the list of questions he gave me to bring to my consultations to ask what I am allowed to do medically and stages of recovery. The cancer excercise specialist said the program is excellent and covers all of my strength building needs, the excercisologist commented “ Wow, he really knows what he is doing, wouldn’t change anything on this”, and the
rheumatologist commented that she wished more of her patients had a coach like Ash Douglass!! Coach Ash Douglass is more than qualified to help senior adults with limiting conditions to reach their full strength potential - which is why I cannot recommend Ash Douglass highly enough!!!
