Just ASK
Our Clients
I spent 8 years raising our kids, but my health slipped, and I reached 275lbs. After our final baby, I decided to change my lifestyle. I started with walking, then group fitness, and weight training. When I joined ASK, I still had 60 pounds to lose. There, I discovered CrossFit, pursued a 200hr RYT Yoga Certification, and began personal training with Samantha. ASK became a second home, and with the support of staff and members, I lost 105lbs and continue working towards new goals!
When a person goes through life and wants something, the only thing they can do is take it. This is done by taking the proper steps and precautions when doing so. In my fitness journey one of the steps I took was to join ask fitness, from the awesome staff to the well maintained equipment, ask was the perfect environment for me to reach my full potential. If a person is looking to better themselves their first step should be to join the ask fitness community.

Terry Cox
Personal Trainer
I have used resistance training for fitness and well being for over 37 years. In 2009 I competed in the INBA/PNBA sanctioned Arizona Copper Classic bodybuilding competition. I placed first in Masters, Overall Masters, Heavyweight Novice, and was awarded best posing routine. While my experience in bodybuilding is not vast, it is enough to make me appreciate the discipline and dedication it takes to do well.
I also have over 18 years’ experience training occupational athletes in the Fire Service. As a training Chief, part of my job was to run firefighter academies and prepare candidates for the grueling physical challenges of structural firefighting and rescue.
Through my own experiences with physical training and seeing the benefit reaped by others, I developed a passion for resistance and functional training.
In 2022, I attained a personal trainer certification through ISSA and have been training clients since. I am a firm believer in resistance training for overall health at any age or experience level. It brings me great satisfaction to help people realize their health and fitness goals, and to see the accomplishments possible through goal setting, determination, and hard work.
