Meet the instructors

Ashley Ruder, Fitness Instructor, co-owner of The Studio Crossville, is originally from Illinois and traveled the country for 3 years before finding her true love of the South when she moved to Crossville in 2016. With over 10 years of experience in the fitness industry, she realized during her own pregnancy that there are many aspects of women's health and fitness that are missing from most programs. She has been involved in Body Building, Weight Lifting, Crossfit, and Yoga and became a Women's Coaching Specialist and Pre-Natal & Postpartum Coach through Girls Gone Strong in 2023. She has also received Pilates Mat and Reformer training through Balanced Body and continuing education through International Sports Sciences Association for nutrition and corrective exercise.

She finds her passion in teaching women how to move their bodies during pregnancy and properly recover after child birth. "The Pilates world has opened up so much awareness into my own body (who knew I was breathing wrong this whole time?!) and the strength I've experienced within my own body is something I want to continue sharing with others."

When she is not teaching or taking an exercise class, she loves spending time outdoors with family, traveling, drawing, crafting, and learning anything new! She believes that every day is a new blessing.

Victoria Campbell, PT, DPT, IADN-cert, co-owner of The Studio Crossville, is a passionate and driven healthcare provider with a special interest in women's health physical therapy. She opened Total Balance Therapy in 2020 and has expanded to offering orthopedic and pelvic health therapy services. By working with Ashley, she has met a big goal of promoting wellness and fitness that extends beyond clinical practice.

Prior to clinical practice, Victoria graduated with honors from The University of Mississippi Medical Center with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2017 and was trained through Balanced Body in reformer Pilates in 2014. She completed her comprehensive Pilates training in 2021 under her mentor Jacy Miller. She has received post-doctorate clinical education in physical therapy for pelvic floor and obstetrics through the American Physical Therapy Association and is pursuing the Women’s Health Clinical Specialist board certification. Her background of ballet taught her discipline, creativity, and the importance of balance, both on and off the dance floor.

When she isn’t providing care to her patients and clients, Victoria can be found spending time at home and exploring Tennessee with her husband, children, and family pets.

Dawn Bosanko, Barre Instructor, is originally from Chicago and opened Daily Barre in Crossville in 2019, which integrated with The Studio Crossville in 2024. She is a busy mom of 2, and knows that motivating, effective workouts are important for people like her. She is currently certified in American Barre Technique Levels I, II and III certified, Ballet Aerobics.

Jessi Cagle, PTA, Yoga Instructor, is a Crossville local and graduated from Roane State Community College at Oak Ridge in 2014. She has been practicing locally since graduation, mostly in outpatient physical therapy. She got her 200 hour yoga teacher training with Rebecca Dennis in 2018 in order to have yoga as another tool in her belt for clinical care. She opened Shine Yoga and Health in 2020, which has joined The Studio Crossville.
