Ashley Gunnels
Personal Trainer
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.
Coaching with Ashley can be scheduled directly through the Muscle Factory USA app for both Apple and Android users.
