Ashley discovered Muay Thai in 2015 through Coach Mai Kneale and has been training with her ever since in her Fighter Fit classes at SkipJack. An interest in lifting came shortly after and Ashley received her CrossFit Level 1 in November 2019. Working out has become a constant journey of new and exciting discoveries since becoming a part of the SkipJack CrossFit community for Ashley.

About Ashley:
By day, Ashley is a Paralegal/Legal Assistant at a law firm. Prior to discovering CrossFit, she had been working out regularly in a global gym with a personal trainer. However, in 2013, she discovered CrossFit and loved the constant variation and challenge that came along with each WOD. She has been a member of SkipJack CrossFit since the day the doors opened! She was hooked and knew that this box was her new home! Ashley has always had a love for the sport of fitness, but recently found the desire to dig a little deeper. The coaching staff at SkipJack has always been so encouraging and pushed her along the way to keep chipping away at her goals both inside and outside of the gym. Being able to help others improve not only their physical fitness, but their mindset is truly rewarding. After her own personal transformation and seeing how she could help motivate others to start their own journey, she considered taking the owners up on the offer to coach one day. Ashley finally took the leap and attended her CrossFit Level 1 seminar and cannot wait to see where this journey takes her!
