Forget everything you’ve ever been told about cellulite—it’s a myth! Ashley Black, fascia pioneer, and body guru to the stars, unveils never before known secrets to obliterating cellulite and changing your personal health paradigm. For years we’ve been conditioned to believe that cellulite is a fat problem, yet skinny girls have it, active girls have it, sedentary girls have it, curvy girls have it, older women have it and, guess what, so do younger women. In fact, 90% of women struggle with it . . . you are not alone!

The appearance of fat is affected by the sticky webbing of tissue it’s housed in called fascia—which can be manipulated. Get ready for the most radical shift in health and beauty of the century! Obliterate cellulite, transform your body, and revolutionize your life!

Big on Motivation, Short on Substance

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

I'm a LMT, and I use the fasciablaster with my clients and I was really hoping that this was going to bring the fasciablaster out of the hype and into a clinical setting. There was a lot of buzz about how the book was filled with new and amazing information, but it's not. It's the same information available in the youtube videos. I was hoping for anatomical details on fascia, information/tips on tissue healing, and information on those trials that keep getting hinted. Instead, this was just a long motivational blog post. I forced myself to read the whole book because I knew my clients would be reading it, but the more I read...well...I actually felt embarrassed that I was using the fasciablaster. I was mortified that anatomical tissue was being called "gummy bears" and "cotton candy"...not just in analogies, but in ongoing discussions. The book is littered with hashtags and promises to get into detailed discussions in a later book. The most frustrating was when paragraphs opened a topic and then the reader was told to search the author's facebook page to continue reading on the topic.
A good portion of the book is taken up with re-prints of facebook posts that fans have left for the author. Between these posts and the photos there really isn't much substance. I read the whole book in 2 hours.
Now, if you have just purchased the fasciablaster and you don't want to root through lots of videos and you are looking for some motivation, then this book is spot on for you. The user's facebook posts will give you inspiration, and you have all the basic information in one place. But if you want to move beyond that and gain more knowledge, you may want to purchase a book on myofascial release where there is info on reactions in fascia and you can get up to speed with the current studies on fascial tissue.

Smoke and Mirrors

I wanted my 55 year-old legs to look like they did when I was 35

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

I purchased the FasciaBlaster strictly for vanity and cosmetic reasons. I wanted my 55 year-old legs to look like they did when I was 35, smooth, sleek and cellulite free. Ashley Black promised this, stating her tool was “100% effective, no matter how big or small you are!” I’m 5’7” and 140lbs. The device is even advertised to “cure” many ailments (which, as a nurse, should have been a red flag for me). I am leery of “quick fixes” and medical scams. I did extensive due diligence. I joined her online Facebook groups. I could find no evidence to debunk her claims. I could find no negative reviews or locate any posts that did not claim “amazing results” from use of the device. I also couldn’t find any actual medical trials or studies but the data I was able to gather told me to buy it!! And I did. And in the first 3-4 months, I felt like I was getting results. I was telling all my friends and family about it ad nauseam and even formed a local support group. Then things started to change despite me following the protocols (which keep changing without notice), heating as instructed, oiling, activating, flushing, icing, etc. I started getting cellulite where I didn’t have it before, namely my arms. The cellulite on the back of my thighs appeared worse. And most of all, my skin had changed. It appeared old, dry and crepe-like despite following directions on the blogs, and in the videos and on the Facebook page. I thought I was alone in my disappointment and was ready to chalk it up to another failed attempts at ridding myself of those nasty lumps and bumps. Until I found a Facebook page where results that were anything less than stellar were being posted. I used the FasciaBlaster for 9 months before quitting. Come to find out, the creator- AB, was censoring her Facebook page; not allowing negative results/adverse reaction post to be posted… period. She was deleting any/all negative comments. I finally discovered that I wasn’t the only one NOT getting the results that AB promised and also learned there were women actually being HURT with the device. My issues are small compared to some of the many others. I was made worse by a device that was guaranteed to give me 100% cellulite elimination. So now that I knew I wasn’t alone, I did some more digging. When I bought the tool, her Terms and Conditions state that the FasciaBlaster is NOT a medical device however, the packaging it came in says it is a Class 1 medical device with US Patent No. D735.818. The T&C also state that the AB Company does not identify itself or any of its personnel, as a licensed dietician, nutritionist, certified personal trainer, massage therapist, medical provider, or licensed/certified as a professional in any field. She touts herself as a scientist but has no medical or health related credentialing what-so-ever. She holds her man Bart Jameson as out as a Fasciologist and her gal Kathleen Stross as a Neuroscientist. It is an insult to those of us with well-earned degrees and a dangerous practice to engage in because she is regularly offering medical advice to the unsuspecting public several times a day on her FasciaBlaster Facebook pages. She flat out denied to users that were experiencing weight gain, that the FasciaBlaster did NOT and could NOT cause weight gain but then updated her T&C to include weight gain as a possible side effect. The updated T&C are 11 pages long, and include multiple new contraindications and warnings-the last T&C update was 4 pages. Because there were no clinical trials or studies conducted outside of “her camp” prior to it’s release to the masses, one can only conclude we, the consumers, have unknowingly been her test subjects. She actually called us her “guinea pigs” on a post as recent as March 10, 2017. And I know that had AB been honest, had she allowed dissenting views to be shared, had she listed ALL of the possible side effects/adverse reactions, had she posted genuine, unfiltered and un-photo shopped photographs, I would not have purchased the product. This woman’s business practices are despicable. Her integrity is questionable. And now, she’s threatening to sue anyone/everyone who has spoken out about her and her bad practices. The “device’ is hurting people. It needs to be remove from market and studied. I agree that it has worked for some people. It even worked for me in the beginning.

I regret purchasing the book and fascia blaster and wish I had zero results. I have dents and crepe skin on the fronts of my thighs where I used the tool consistently. The idea that massive injury to the skin is good for you is a bunch of crap. Ashley Black makes me think of Elizabeth Holmes, who was in complete denial on the true state of Theranos. It will be interesting to see how the class action lawsuit ends.

Revolutionary read.

Ashley is going to change the way women view and manage their weight ! Do your research and buy these products - I have been using her Fascia blaster for a year since thinking 'That's pretty much it, I may as well just accept its all down hill from here no matter how much I exercise and watch what I eat.' Then I stumbled across Ashley while researching lipo suction as a last (expensive and quite scary) resort. I started googling fascia and reading what other experts hint at, but seem to like to keep to themselves .... then I bought 2 of her blasters and 'gave it a go'. Within the first month I could see definition coming back and quality of the appearance of the skin on legs improving ... they are still not 'perfect' but I will wear shorts now, and next to nothing is going to stop me from helping myself to be the best I can be by using these products :)

This book is so bad it’s insulting. Waste of money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

Unbelievably dissapointed with this book. This book spears to be merely an opportunity for the writer to discuss her own life failures and accomplishments. I lost count of how many times the writer congratulates herself on her life achievements. The entire book could have been reduced to 1 chapter. Repetitive, patronising, and at times extremely dull. Waste of money. If you want to reduce cellulite..... eat better, reduce your intake of toxins, use a body brush and do a lot of exercise. Don’t be fooled by another “expert”.

Really faciniating read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought the book because it was referred to in an article I was reading about fascia - the third body system (other than muscular and skeletal) which has started to be being researched over the last 15 years. Its a real eye opener and makes a lot of sense but does take a leap of faith to look at our bodies in a different way and that the cause of a pain or ache may not be muscular or skeletal but due to a problem with our fasia. Sort the fascia problem out and you get rid of the pain.
The title is misleading because it is so much more than about getting rid of cellulite, but the protocol Ashley Black has devised does sort out the fascia problem - which is what it really is as CELLULITE DOES NOT EXIST! Its just a name which has been given to describe areas of the body where the facsia is not smooth and has been damaged and need repair.
If you're interested in learning more about how your body works and have an open mind then youwill enjoy this book and probably start to follow the protocols in it.
