In this episode of the podcast, Doc Jake sits down with Ashley Reese, the founder and owner of Reese Fitness, a personal training business dedicated to helping women build strength and confidence. Ashley shares her personal journey of taking a break from powerlifting competitions in order to prioritize her recovery and well-being. She discusses the challenges she faced in rebuilding her strength and how this experience has made her more empathetic towards her clients.

The conversation then delves into the specific challenges that women often encounter in strength training, such as a lack of awareness of their own capabilities and the fear of becoming too bulky. Ashley passionately advocates for educating women about their true potential through strength training, while Jake highlights the societal shortcomings in representing female strength and conditioning needs.

Ashley goes on to provide an overview of her business, Reese Fitness, and the various services she offers, including in-person and online personal training, as well as nutrition coaching. She emphasizes the importance of conducting an initial movement evaluation session to tailor each client's training plan according to their goals, lifestyle, and limitations.

Another common challenge discussed in the episode is the perception that strength training requires long hours at the gym. Both Jake and Ashley debunk this misconception, highlighting the effectiveness of shorter, focused training sessions. Ashley's coaching approach and social media presence aim to dispel the myth of "getting bulky" and empower women to embrace strength training.
