Train your body with your body.
Welcome to Calisthenics Training Center.
A place for by-appointment personal training, semi-personal training, and small group classes. Training can be adapted for anyone but generally is a mix of both calisthenics- like pull ups, dips, and handstands; and traditional strength training exercises like squats and lunges. We believe that mobility and body-weight exercises are important for function, and weight-bearing exercises are important for bone density. We are training for longevity now- to be able to move with ease and strength well into old age.
Ashley and Dustin created Calisthenics Training Center in 2019. We were happily instructing handstand and acrobatics classes and continuing personal training until 2020 and Covid changed the world. Ashley managed to maintain enough clients to keep the business going; while Dustin used his time to begin a whole new career. He went to school online and landed a full-time cyber security job (complete with benefits like company insurance, hooray!). He also underwent major back surgery. He is fully recovered, but he isn’t training clients in the gym anymore.
So the gym has evolved again into a one-woman show. Ashley does all the training, planning, scheduling, billing, website, responding to emails, phone calls etc.
…the next phase. In September 2026 Ashley moved in with friends Gillian St. Clair and Mary Beth Harding into a new collaborative space called Grow Yoga and Movement. Calisthenics Training Center still exists, just within GYM. The website will get a redesign soon. Until then,

We believe our bodies are complex and deserve more than just another fitness routine. We believe that you can train both calisthenics AND weightlifting. You don’t have to pick one, exclusively. They can each be used to enhance the other. By using both methods of training, we create well-rounded, coordinated, and strong athletes.
