Tess Ajax, NASM CPT

Tess grew up in Wisconsin and Minnesota and moved to Tucson amid the pandemic. Tess earned credentials as a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine in 2020 and holds multiple certifications in Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise, Pre/Postnatal Fitness, and Functional Movement.

Tess founded Intuitive Training to address the need for practical, community-centered coaching with a specialized focus on pelvic floor and core function for pregnant and postpartum individuals. Her approach supports a wide range of goals, from returning to high-level athletic performance to resolving the common musculoskeletal discomforts and pelvic floor symptoms that frequently arise after childbirth.

Rather than bouncing back or chasing rigid exercise rules, she teaches mothers to build flexibility, body awareness, and patience as they navigate the complexities of postpartum life. Through compassionate guidance and supportive community, she helps women reconnect with their pelvic floor and core, build strength that meets the demands of motherhood, and return to the activities they love with confidence.

Tess lives on the eastside of Tucson with her husband and two young children. There’s not much free time with two kids under 5, but when Tess has a spare moment she enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, making soap, hiking through Sabino Canyon, and visiting local coffee shops.
