Ashley Gunnels

Lifting, moving, and running have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm a Massage Therapist with over 23 years of experience, a teacher, a mom—and now, officially, a Personal Trainer.

Why personal training? Because I’ve lived the journey I now help others navigate: Injury. Loss. Divorce. Four pregnancies—including bed rest. Grief that made time stand still. I’ve been the “skinny-fat,” the over-exerciser, the calorie restrictor chasing validation and worth. I know what it feels like to strive endlessly—and how powerful it is to let go of unrealistic expectations and finally rise.

When I stopped chasing smaller and started lifting stronger, everything changed. I found confidence. I found peace. I stopped trying to earn my worth and started living in it.

Now, my mission is to help others do the same.

What I offer:

• A space to show up as you are—no shame, no perfection required

• Training that honors your full body, mind, and season of life

• Real connection, real accountability, and programs built around YOU

Whether you're navigating survival mode, seeking strength, rebuilding confidence, or just needing support—I’m here to remind you: You were made for strength. For purpose. For fire. Let’s grow—together.

Massage Therapist. Personal Trainer. Whole-body advocate.
