Ashlee is such a knowledgeable and supportive teacher. As someone new to Pilates (and reformer Pilates) I knew I was in good hands the moment Ashlee gave me specific feedback to work with my scoliosis. Her home studio is beautiful and provides a great space to work with the reformer outside of a group setting. I could feel my form improving over the course of our lesson. Ashlee is great!!

I have been recovering from a hip surgery for over 2 years, living in consistent and debilitating pain, not able to perform much physical activity or walk long distances. After a long road in physical therapy, I finally graduated and wanted to expand my healing journey. Because I needed specific attention, I searched for a private pilates instructor and I found Ashlee.
Ashlee listened carefully and took everything I said into consideration. She is very knowledgable about the body and her craft, and my progression is proof of that. She has introduced me to a large spectrum of exercises that I have never done before and every session is unique and different. After just 10 sessions with Ashlee, my hips are so much stronger and I am in far less pain than I have ever been. I never thought I could get to this point, but Ashlee helped me tremendously. If you have any type of injury, you can go to Ashlee in full confidence that you are in great hands.

After two back-to-back pregnancies, my body felt like it had been through a war zone—and I knew I wasn’t ready to jump into group Pilates classes. I needed one-on-one attention from someone who actually knew what they were doing with postpartum bodies. I found Ashlee on Google Maps (literally!) and after trying out two other nearby instructors, it was so clear she was the real deal.

Not only was Ashlee the most knowledgeable—she also offered the best price. She took the time to assess my pelvic floor, tailored every session to how I was feeling that day, and slowly but surely helped me put my body back together. On days I needed something more restorative, she pivoted with ease. I also love that she brings in other healing tools like massage and aromatherapy—it’s truly a mind and body reset every time I see her.

As a mom with a bunch of little kids, the flexibility and expertise Ashlee brings is priceless. She’s been a total game-changer in my postpartum recovery journey. I couldn’t recommend her more!

I’ve been doing Pilates with Ashlee on and off for seven years, and I’m still amazed that she’s never repeated the same routine—it’s honestly not normal (in the best way)! Every session feels fresh and tailored to my goals and needs.

After having four kids, I can genuinely say I feel so much stronger, especially in my core, and I’m closer than ever to my best self (just 10 more pounds to go!). Her space is always clean and intimate, making it such a comfortable place to work out.

Beyond fitness, Ashlee is easy to talk to and truly trustworthy—we’ve built such a great connection over the years. She somehow makes working out fun, and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Highly recommend!

Ashlee is such a wonderful teacher! I started with her when I was 8 weeks pregnant and immediately fell in love with Pilates. I felt strong throughout my pregnancy and during labor. I picked back up when I was 4 months post-partum and its been great re-building my strength. Ashlee balances kindness with challenging workouts and she is always so encouraging, even when I don't think I can do something! Plus, we always find something to laugh about in class. I can't imagine my life without Pilates with Ashlee

Pilates with Ashlee has been the morning routine I never knew I needed! She has customized workouts for me based on my physical symptoms and personal ability and has made me feel comfortable at whatever fitness level I’m at, both of which I appreciate so much! Plus, she’s easy to talk to, fun, understanding and accommodating!

UPDATE as of 3/12/25:
Ashlee is the BEST! I have been a dedicated client for over 7 years, working out with Ashlee 2x/wk! When I first started working out with Ashlee, I was unable to stand for more than 2 minutes at a time! After many unsuccessful visits to PT, my husband decided that I needed a more effective intervention. He remembered that I had wanted to do Pilates for some time, but never got around to it (life, kids, work - who had the time!). After doing some searching, he found Pilates with Ashlee and read the rave reviews. She was located only a few blocks away - super convenient - so I gave her a call. After my consult and first session with Ashlee I knew that this was going to be the answer! And was I right! I have built my core strength, increased my flexibility and balance, made my body stronger and built more confidence in trusting my body!

Ashlee is the BEST Pilates instructor - she is super knowledgeable about the body and every tiny muscle! She is attentive to detail making sure that my form and movements are correct and that I keep breathing! Her workouts are challenging, well-thought out and structured, fun and personalized! She is patient, positive and encouraging - she is my personal Pilates cheerleader! I am always amazed on how much I can do especially when I have doubts! I feel and look great and get many compliments on how strong my body is!

If you love your body, give yourself the best gift ever - start working out with Ashlee! I highly recommend her and am so happy my husband found her for me!

Thank you so much Ashlee I always enjoy our sessions & look forward to coming weekly :)

Initial Review - Dec 2017:
Ashlee is THE BEST! She is the ultimate pilates trainer who tailors every workout to your needs. She is positive, encouraging, knowledgeable and attentive making sure you are doing every workout right! Her studio is immaculate and pristine, clean and COVID compliant! If you are looking for an intimate, boutique-style, super cute pilates studio, PWA is the place to go! You will get personalized attention 100% of the time!!

I’ve been a consistent client of PWA (2xs/ week) for the last 8-9yrs~ CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?? I don’t think I’ve ever done a workout for this long because tbh, I don’t love it. Ashlee always keeps it exciting & engaging and she’s a hoot to be around, very lovely person. Most importantly my body has consistently looked great, doesn’t “yo-yo” like other workouts can cause. Feeling confident in my body as a full time workout mom is the absolute BEST feeling. I highly recommend giving it a shot specifically w/ Ashlee!

Ashlee is a terrific instructor. Her classes are the right type of challenging -- just hard enough to know it's working but still fun. She does a great job explaining proper form, so I feel confident that I'm actually building strength. I'm looking forward to building a regular Pilates practice with her!

I Love working with Ashley! She brings so much care & creativity (you will definitely not get bored with her workouts) to our sessions. She really understands the body and creates such a positive yet challenging experience in every session! I have trimmed down, gotten stronger and feel more confident in my body than I have in a while! Thanks Ashley!

I literally never write reviews, but I felt so inclined because Ashlee is that amazing, kind, and dedicated as a teacher, friend, and human being.

I’ve been training with her for over 2 years now, and she has completely reshaped my body composition. When I started, I couldn’t even hold table top position (IYKYK). For those Pilates junkies - she’s never makes you do 100s. Her workouts are tailored to your skill level and goals. While she works at the pace you are comfortable, she ultimately pushes you out of your comfort zone to build a strong core, excellent posture, and improved flexibility/mobility as you advance through your sessions.

She has not only been an incredible instructor but has a natural gift/intuition about body physiology and musculature. She has helped fix my front forward posture (tech neck), as well as build and strengthen the muscles to correct and prevent it.

Beyond that, she’s an amazing friend, confidante, supportive, and most of all a massive champion of body positivity, self care, and self confidence.

TLDR; go see Ashlee. She’s nothing short of life changing.

It was my first time doing pilates, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ashlee at PWA! I did 8 solo sessions and Ashlee is fantastic. Each session was well-structured and I can already feel that my body has developed the core strength I've been lacking. She's super encouraging and very down to earth so every session was something to look forward to. I highly recommend Ashlee because she's top-notch! I'm so glad I found her.

Ashlee is a great teacher and motivator. I have gotten great results in my core strength, flexibility, and balance which I wasn’t getting with my Peloton classes and gym routine. Could not recommend enough!

Let me start by saying, I was an absolute beginner to Pilates when I started… I had taken two group classes and could tell I needed one on one training if I ever wanted to see results.

We’ve been at it for about three months now and I’ve already had to buy new jeans, I’m down a whole pant size.

What’s even more amazing is that each session is personalized to you and your needs. I felt incredibly awkward with the machine when I started, but my confidence shows now (it may not seem like it, but this is a huge testament to her ability to work with any body).

I’m truly in awe of the results I’m seeing. I go 2-3 days a week, and have never gotten more compliments in my life. I could not recommend Ashlee more: for private sessions her pricing is exceptionally reasonable, if not low for the area, and the quality of the workout is unmatched.

I wish I had taken before and after photos because it’s incredible.

I was hesitant, it was a bit of a distance, I wondered if this was right for me and wasn’t sure how Ashlee felt about working with a senior! First, distance was not a big deal, always easy parking! Second and third, Ashlee’s individualized approach, attention to detail and how each person learns best is amazing. Ashlee is fun.I’ve been both pushed to new limits and encouraged alllllllll the way!! I’m set!! Thank you!!

Ashlee is my first Pilates instructor and she has not disappointed! Her attention to detail makes me feel secure about my work out and I appreciate how she pushes me within my limits. And even sometimes passed the limits I’m not aware that I was capable of. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for amazing one on one training.

I am a Pilates beginner and haven’t had any regular exercise since having kids. I found PWA through some light googling and am so glad I did. She’s patient, very good at explaining what to do, and constantly examining my form to make sure that I’m exercising the right things and not straining the wrong ones. There’s very little repetition such that you’re always trying new exercises and don’t get bored. I call it creative torture but I love how I feel during my sessions and after. She’s also a delight to be around, and I always look forward to our workouts.

I’ve been going to Ashlee for a little over a year and HOLY WOW has it been amazing! My body has been recovering from a really bad accident and it took years of pestering by one of my best friends to *finally* come see Ashlee — I was told she would fix me. Skeptical? Sure. I was feeling gnarly, my body hurt, I wasn’t the dancer I used to be and I can say with all honesty, I did not think I would get back to feeling good about myself. My body was too broken, even after PT and Chiro visits—all the things. Before I even had my first session, Ashlee spent over an hour on the phone with me—we got to know each other, she got to know what I needed, what was working and what wasn’t, and I jumped in. In the past year I’ve gone from hating how I looked in the mirror and how painful my injuries were, to being not only comfortable in my own skin but also feeling like I could trust my body again. The ankle and knee injuries that previously stopped me from participating in activities have slowly but steadily reduced—Ashlee helped me to trust my musculature to keep me safe. Lame squats and lunges are now perfect form. I activate my core on my roll ups, I lean into the glutes and quads, and I’m way more flexible these days. I cannot recommend Pilates With Ashlee enough. Private reformer sessions, spectacular and individualized training (seriously—you will notice the massive changes you can make within just a few sessions), and her personality keeps me coming back every week! No regrets, save for waiting so long to listen to my friend to come see Ashlee.

Ashlee is the best pilates teacher! I had never done pilates before going to Ashlee and she is so patient, caring, and explains everything so clearly. For a beginner, learning how to move your body in ways it wasn't before can feel really intimidating, but Ashlee continues to challenge me, while simultaneously cheering me on. She monitors and observes me to make sure that I'm doing things correctly and safely. I couldn't recommend her more!

Best instructor! Ashlee takes the time to make sure her clients form is correct, and that each move is productive. Ashlee asks about what her clients want to achieve from pilates and personalizes each lesson to ensure optimal success. I have been going to Ashlee twice weekly for about 3 months and feel my best self. I’ve been to other pilates instructor but Ashlee is really the best and I can’t imagine not going to her.

I’ve been doing Pilates for years. I’ve done both private and group classes. Ashlee is by far the best instructor I’ve ever had. She listens to your needs and forms the workout around that. If you have injuries she is very much focused on making sure we don’t do anything that could bother that more. She’s super fun and sweet but she won’t let you not give it your all. She drives me even when my stomach is flipping from the workout and I want to give up. I got in shape very fast and noticed changes in my strength within the first few weeks of seeing her. Best instructor ever!!

Ashlee is fantastic! I've never had private classes before and it really makes a difference - Ashlee is knowledgeable, attentive, and encouraging. She makes sure to correct your positioning and always makes the work out fun. I'm recovering from an injury and from the start she knew exactly how to deal with it and strengthen it (previously, I had a bad experience with a group exercise class where the trainer did not know what he was doing and worsened my injury). I've been going for a couple of months and I notice the impact - my core feels stronger and going to Ashlee is one of the biggest highlights of the week. Ashlee is flexible, accommodating and has a personal touch. She takes a lot of pride in her work and her space and it shows.

When I called  Ashlee through a recommendation of a friend, I had lost all hope. My words to her was masked through tears of suffering for years from a bad back, herniated discs, surgery during pregnancy due to herniation and multiple other aches and pains that would not go away. I had tried everything including other pilates classes and was convinced this was my burden to bear for the rest of my life. I started with Ashlee once a week and worked up to twice a week over 4 months. I have never been better. My disc is still herniated but the amount of daily pain i feel has diminished by over 50%. I am getting stronger and building up more muscle to cushion my back and correct my terrible posture. Ashley has changed my life and is the most competitive in terms of private class prices. Her attention to form is like nothing I have experienced, even  in the most recommended classes and teachers. This review is not to put others down but rather to highlight that I had tried everything and I was not getting the help or remedies I needed. Thank you Ashlee!!!

I trained with Ashlee during the majority of my pregnancy and I am 99% sure our sessions are the reason why my labor and delivery went as quickly and smoothly as they possibly could have. Despite the usual symptoms of nausea and heart burn, I had zero swelling and physically felt excellent during my pregnancy and was able to train up until my delivery date with no discomfort! I am one week post partum and feel almost back to normal in my body and am looking forward to starting sessions again once my doctor gives me the ok! On top of that, Ashlee was fun and supportive and always mixed up sessions (even with the necessary prenatal modifications) so they were never boring and always a good workout. 100% worth seeing her if you are considering it — Ashlee is a miracle worker!

After 2 c sections and a million excuses to not stay consistent with my workouts, I started PWA. I felt a huge difference in the strength of my core within 5 sessions.

I have been doing Pilates with Ashlee for the past 3 years and I can say that Ashlee's engaging personality, technically challenging routines and continuous growth ensures that you get results. I worked with her at Eden and when she started her own studio. You can see that pilates is a way of life and philosophy for Ashlee and she brings that enthusiasm each day to the studio. She is very dynamic and works with you to achieve your goals. As a busy professional, I need to make sure I use my time efficiently and that I see results from my workouts.

I started at PWA about 3 months ago, with limited to no knowledge of Pilates BUT with an injured knee. I had injured my knee 2 years ago playing tennis—and never quite recovered back into my workouts.

I knew I needed to get back into shape for the health of my knee AND my mind. I asked my coworkers what they were doing for their workouts and one suggested their Pilates instructor, Ashlee from Pilates with Ashlee.

I immediately called to set up an appointment, right off the bat, Ashlee super accommodating and worked with my busy schedule. Ever since my
First appt. I’m officially addicted to Pilates. Ashlee not only makes it fun, but she worked with my injury while simaltaneously giving me a killer workout! I’ve never felt better and stronger. One thing I really want to point out is Ashlee really does an amazing job at explaining the Pilates fundamentals in a way I can understand—coming from someone who is highly uncoordinated, lol.

Make the call~~you and your body will thank you!
