Why did you start your fitness journey?
"My fitness journey started when I was a senior in high school struggling to find where I fit in. I knew I was unhappy in my body and I knew it affected my confidence and self worth, so one day I decided I was going to do something about it. I just decided. So I signed up to the local YMCA with some of my friends and the rest is history. That one decision, seeming so small at the time, made the biggest impact on my life. And it makes deciding to go to the gym every day that much easier. Just make the decision and don't look back."

Ashley's favorite products
"My FAV product is the new PumpLord liquid formula- what an awesome and different product. I also rely on NutraOne's PerformanceOne Pre Workout for my creatine and always keep a container of IsolateOne close for smoothies and such. Those 3 I can't live without."
What is your go-to healthy meal?
"I will never get sick of: ground turkey, jasmine rice, and green beans covered in plain greek yogurt (a healthy alternative for sour cream) and of course, doused in Cholula! Perfect meal for the chipotle cravings and without the excess junk."
What is your favorite exercise?
"...is this even a question!? Hip thrusts, duh."
What advice has inspired you the most?
"It's truly a marathon, not a sprint. You've just overcame the hardest part of your journey which is to start! Now, you have to rely on the dedication to keep going- but allow yourself grace along the way when you fail, set back, fall down, etc. As long as you get back up and keep going."
