Meet Ashley.

Ashley is a wife, a mother, a Real Estate agent, and one determined woman. After so many years on ongoing health issues and frustrations about weight gain, she decided that it was time to change her life. In 2010, She underwent a lap band surgery to get her started on her weight loss journey, but found out in the process that she suffered from Insulin Resistance which causes increases in inflammation and ended with complications that prevented the lap band to be successful.

In the Fall of 2014, Ashley became deathly ill with severe pneumonia causing pleurisy to fill her body, surround her organs, and collapsed her lungs. After an emergency surgery, she wasn't expected to survive. After undergoing intensive intervention, she survived, but it took her 6 full months to recover.

This health scare pushed Ashley into full gear and laser focused her on one thing: GETTING HEALTHY. "I have to be here for my family, I have to be a better example for my daughter, I need to find a way to HEAL." In 2017, Ashley began getting in depth blood tests to truly understand her hormone levels, thyroid levels, and how her body was absorbing nutrients. She discovered that her body wasn't absorbing minerals and vitamins at the level that it should be and she then started her nutrition journey of how to fuel her body with what it NEEDS before treating herself that doesn't benefit her body.

6 years ago, Ashley started working out with Shannon Wyke and it has been

"life changing". Shannon truly listens to his clients and gets to know them. "He watches me so carefully". He meets her where she is and adjusts as she needs. As she continues to lose weight, they focus on more flexibility and balance. They are doing more agility and weight lifting.

Ashley turns SIXTY next month and this is the best shape she has ever been in. She takes responsibility for her health by making the best decisions she can on a daily basis. She prioritizes her exercise because, for Ashley, it makes her a better person. She can't truly be there for her loved ones if she doesn't put her health first.
