Ashley’s health journey started in her teens. She had spent years struggling with disordered eating & over exercise which unfortunately made her form an unhealthy relationship with both. With a lot of hard work & lifestyle change she took charge of her health and fell in love with exercise and good nutrition for how it made her feel. Ashley made the decision to study fitness & health promotion which lead to finding RAM soon after. Her  passion for fitness and nutrition has grown immensely over time and has lead to studying health coaching, plant based nutrition & nutrition coaching with the goal of providing as much value to our clients as possible. Ashleys journey hasn’t been easy but she is grateful for the struggle, it’s made her appreciate her health, strength & has given her a purpose to inspire others.

You can find Ashley doing personal training, group training, TRX, cycling & nutrition coaching at RAM. She absolutely loves it all but her favourite will always be teaching cycling & strength training.

Ashleys sole purpose at Ram is to help our clients fall in love with taking care of themselves and find joy through movement & good nutrition. Movement should be both fun and functional. Her goal is to show our clients how strong and capable they are through motivation, education and a positive environment.

Jessica started fitness at a young age, playing competitive soccer where she travelled for most of her teenage life. She danced competitively where she learnt many exercise techniques and had her first hands on training with group coaching.

Jess later suffered a bad injury which retired her as an athlete after two surgeries. She then got into resistance training where she had found her love for fitness in a different light. As time went on Jessica had her first child and is now becoming more active with raising her.

At 16 years old, Stephanie’s son no longer wanted to play hockey so she finally decided to do something for herself and strengthen her passion with physical health and fitness. Stephanie became both CanFitPro and FitTour Advanced Spin Instructor Certified to improve and gain more knowledge in the industry and empower others.

Stephanie teaches RAM bootcamps and simply loves to do this. “We do circuits of exercises to challenge your cardiovascular and muscular fitness levels while respecting your own strengths and limitations.”
