Our #Powerful class is a strength focused training session designed to help you master foundational barbell movements like squats, deadlifts, and bench press, alongside targeted accessory work and functional movement patterns. Whether you’re new to lifting or looking to dial in your technique and build serious strength, this class provides a structured, progressive approach. You’ll learn how to move efficiently under load, build muscle, and develop strength that translates beyond the gym!

Programming Focus

Each training day in #Powerful is programmed to build strength and balance throughout the week. Mondays and Wednesdays focus on upper body strength, think pressing, pulling, and building those shoulders, arms, and back. Tuesdays and Thursdays are dedicated to lower body strength, working through squat variations, deadlifts, and glute/hamstring development. Fridays bring it all together with a full-body strength workout that also includes some conditioning and active recovery work to set you up for the weekend!

Right now, we’re entering a hypertrophy and strength-building phase. This phase will allow you to build lean muscle and increase your ability to move heavier loads efficiently. Our #Powerful training blocks are 3 weeks long, so our next one starts on August 11th and leads us into October, when we’ll be testing out our strength!

 

Don’t forget, your first class is always FREE! Stop on in to the front desk to score your first class on us.

Hello friends! My name is Ashley Bell, and I am so excited to be at UF! 

 

With 7 years of lifting experience and 4 years of personal training and group exercise, I am ready to train alongside you at Union Fitness! I am someone who loves exercise and pushes everyone to have the best quality of life they deserve! I firmly believe that we cannot live out our purpose in life if we are not physically strong enough to do so. 

 

A little about me, I love to laugh, lift weights, walk, read, and I make my own lotion and candles! Only clean ingredients around here for me! Ha! I am from a very small town in Mercer County, PA (the sticks). I have loved growing up in a small town in the country! It is peaceful, quiet, and where I feel most at home. I moved to the burgh to get out of my comfort zone and push self-growth as well as expand my horizon for career growth here at Union! 

 

I appreciate a good joke, and I love to smile and appreciate a good chat. I am ready to help you reach your fitness goals and help make Union Fitness a safe and positive place for you to better yourself!
