a wellness life A Wellness Life is a Pilates, Personal Training and Wellness Studio created by Tammy Kershaw, a Personal Coach, Yoga Tune Up® Instructor and Wellness Educator.

I love teaching Pilates. It has helped me personally with a back injury from many years back. I realized after just one session how it helped me immediately. I teach clients in privates, and also sharing time with friends. I also still train some clients with traditional personal training more from a functional standpoint and always incorporate Pilates into the session. I am also TRX certified and train group classes as well as privates! I recently became certified in Yoga Tune Up®as a teacher and also a Role Model method ® teacher which blends very well into my scope of trainings. I believe that working from the inside out is best to achieve balance in the body. Finding out where imbalances are and working on strengths is what I love to do!

40 years behind the chair taught me that the little things you ignore today can become the things your body makes impossible to ignore later.

And this isn’t just a hairstylist problem...

Nurses. Teachers. Estheticians. Bartenders. Retail workers. Chefs. Anyone who spends hours standing, reaching, bending or repeating the same movements day after day🦵🦶 your body is part of your career, too.

I’m curious: What do you do for work, and where do you feel it in your body by the end of the day? 👇

Neck? Back? Feet? Shoulders? Hips? Hands?

Let’s see which profession has the most complaints. 😂

If you’re a hairstylist, chances are at least one of these feels a little too familiar. 😅

The neck tension. The aching shoulders. The low back that starts talking to you halfway through the day. The tired feet. The hands that have been holding tools for hours. ✂️

For a long time, I thought this was just part of the job...

But loving what you do shouldn’t mean accepting that your body has to hurt because of it.

I’ve been working on something specifically for hairstylists who want to keep doing the work they love without feeling completely wrecked by the end of the day. 👀

More on that very soon.

In the meantime... hairstylists, what part of your body feels it the MOST after a long day behind the chair? 👇

Neck? Shoulders? Back? Feet? Hands?

💪💫✨ I’m not training to move like I’m 25.

I’m training so I can keep moving well at 55, 65, 75 and beyond...

For me, strength now looks less like chasing a number and more like building a body that supports the life I want to keep living 🩷 strong, mobile, capable and confident.

That’s what Ageless Strength means to me.

Hairstylists: pain may be common in this industry, but that doesn’t mean it should be accepted as part of the job. 👀

After almost 40 years behind the chair, I know what long days of standing, reaching, bending and repeating the same movements can do to your body.

For a long time, I thought the sore feet, tight shoulders, stiff neck and aching back were just the price of doing what I loved.
They’re not.

Your body is one of the most important tools you have in this career, and taking care of it now can make a huge difference in how you feel behind the chair years from now.

Stay tuned for something special I'm doing in October 👀 for anyone who is standing or sitting all day, doing the same repeated movements for prolonged periods, hunched over at a desk, etc.

Just saying... 🤷🏻‍♀️

This photo was taken in 2011, but the story behind it started years before.

I came into fitness during the “no pain, no gain” era. I pushed hard, worked long hours behind the chair, and eventually my body forced me to pay attention.

That low-back injury changed everything.

It taught me that movement doesn’t always need to be harder to be effective. Sometimes the real work is slowing down, understanding your body, rebuilding strength and learning how to move in a way that supports you for the long haul.

That experience shaped the way I teach today—and why I care so much about helping women feel strong, mobile and confident in the bodies they have now.

Same body. Different season. And I’m still learning from it. 🤍

If your relationship with exercise has changed as you’ve gotten older, I’d love to know: what does “feeling strong” mean to you now?
