“I’ve taken multiple classes led by Ash and by Mindy now. All have been great! Classes are tailorable to your personal fitness level with multiple options for the amount of weight you lift or the degree of resistance you put on the springboard. You really get out of the class what you put in and they’re super patient. Classes are small sized so they are able to provide corrections, and explain in great detail what areas you’re working and how to optimize for your desired impact. Excited to test out the variety of new classes they’re offering now, but each and every class is already different (despite the dreaded final plank), so you never get bored or overly fatigued in one place.”

“The small group environment for classes and individual attention for private sessions really promotes a sense of trust. You get to go at your own pace while still pushing yourself to full potential…Forget all of the trends of the extreme gyms. This is the real deal. I can’t imagine training anywhere else.”

4worldlovers: The Urban Fitness Community is made up of women and men from all of life’s disciplines.

We grow strong - together.

“There has never been a gym where I don’t have to roll my eyes at what the coaches are saying. I will say that most of the coaches at UFO are not pulling sh*t explanations out of their a$$ and it’s what keeps me here and not looking to switch gyms. - Anonymous on recent survey

4worldlovers: In 12 weeks I show active people how to find freedom from pain so they can confidently enjoy an adventurous life without limitations.

I help people who struggle with stress and chronic pain regain confidence in their body and optimism for the future. Helping you move away from pain and regain your quality of life is important to me because I have struggled with it myself.

After high school I started noticing different physical issues and began believing that living with discomfort was just a new reality of life. When I was 22 I was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo a grueling chemotherapy regimen and a major surgery. My life turned upside down.

I beat my cancer but my pain was still with me. I eventually started seeking help from many professionals including doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists, you name it. But after all that money and time I still felt essentially the same; until I found Z-Health, a brain based approach to pain and fitness.

After transforming my life I knew that I wanted to share this approach so that you don’t have to live feeling frustrated and hopeless.


My quality of life started to really improve when I began applying and understanding the concepts behind the science of pain.


Traditionally in the field of pain management and sports medicine people have a bio-mechanical approach. But, to make an analogy to your car breaking down, that is like expecting that working on a side panel will restart your engine!


Our bodies our governed by our brain and nervous system, and we rely on many systems to work well in order for us to feel good and perform at a high level. For example, our vision, balance, ability to move and breathe properly are tremendously important, and whether or not they are working well can either make or break us.


When you work with me I assess where your sticking points are, and help you develop the practices and systems that you need to feel good and live the life you want to live.

I will take you through a neurological screening and together we will develop important drills that you can begin using immediately to feel better. I will also send you a video of our takeaways that will assist you as you begin moving away from pain.
