We are horned to have AShley part of our team and supporting the DIVA brand with Class and Sass! We can’t wait to see her next journey in 2015  ~ Check out Ashley’s story…

How did you get into fitness?

I got into working out my senior year in high school. I suffered with an eating disorder in 9th, 10th and 11th grade, which almost killed me and when I beat the odds, I decided that I was here for a reason. I found a personal trainer, worked with a dietitian, and from that point forward, I committed to getting my health back and helping other kids who were going thru the same thing. I am so grateful that I got a second chance, and as part of that, I feel my purpose is to motivate and help women to be strong and healthy.

When was your first show?

My first ever competition was my freshman year in college! I competed in fitness and was hooked the moment I stepped on stage!

 

What’s your fitness history / story?

I competed for several years as a figure competitor with NPC, then took off the past 2 years when I got diagnosed with melanoma. After having treatment, I went thru a period of depression and just wasn’t motivated. I didn’t like how my body had changed and so This past Spring, when Gretchen and Lindsay encouraged me to get back on stage again, I agreed! They began prepping me and The more I prepped, the more excited I got! I went to a Diva camp shortly after committing to get back on stage, and I left there completely renewed! Gretchen and Lindsay made me realize that I COULD do this and they gave me the confidence back I had been lacking. I feel amazing and am forever grateful!

 

 

How was your experience with the WBFF ?

My first experience with the WBFF was in NY this past weekend and I can honestly say it was the BEST time ever!! Everyone was so nice and helpful and the friendships I made were awesome! I felt like a true DIVA when I walked on that stage!! WBFF is definitely top notch…red carpet all the way!
How was your Experience with the Fitness DIVAS ?

Working with the Fitness Divas was the best decision I have made for competition prep! Gretchen Coley and Lindsay Messina are such a great team and they made sure I was completely ready when I stepped on stage! Everything from Diva workouts, Meal plans to stage walk and suit selection…nothing was left undone! I am a DIVA forever!!

 

What would be one tip for any aspiring competitor or fitness cover model?
