Testimonials
Olga P.I'm so impressed with Ashley, she's a terrific personal trainer who is 100% committed to the success of her clients! I noticed visible results after the first month training with Ashley. I'm now half a size down compared to when I first started! Of course nutrition plays a big part in that but with Ashley's guidance I was able to stick to my training and nutrition plan and feel super motivated with the results. I'm currently on my second month.
Can't wait to see what we can accomplish as a team with this rock star trainer!
Sunshine S.Ashley has been the light at the end of my tunnel. She pushes me with weight I would have never dreamed of lifting. I've had injuries and imbalances that we've tackled together. Her positivity, consistency, and overall knowledge have made me love lifting. My bum is plump, I'm strong as heck and I feel great.
I highly recommend her for all aspects of change, whether it's your first time in the gym, you're looking to get stronger, or maybe you're already a gym veteran, she's your hype girl. She'll teach you new things and push you harder than you would push yourself.
