Ashley was born in Fruita, Colorado but now resides in Tempe, Arizona where she lives with her husband Rick and 2 French Bulldog's Bobby and Sonny. She is living her dream daily by helping change the lives of others through her nutrition and fitness coaching business Ashley Wiens Fitness. Ashley grew up very athletic and pursued her passion for basketball at the collegiate level playing and eventually coaching for Colorado State University. A college career ending basketball knee injury is what got Ashley interested in pursuing bodybuilding because she wanted something to focus on to get back into the best shape of her life after she recovered. Ashley started learning the ins and outs of competing and used her B.S. degree in Food and Nutritional Sciences with her concentration in dietetics to help her prepare for her very first show where she coached herself. After 1 year and 4 shows later Ashley became a IFBB Bikini pro in 2015 at North Americans and eventually crossed over into the IFBB Figure division in 2017. She has placed top 10 in multiple IFBB Pro Figure shows but currently is focusing on her coaching and training business instead of competing. Ashley loves competing and everything it has taught her. She loves the everyday lifestyle of following a nutrition plan or tracking macros and working out and continues to live the same lifestyle even though she isn't currently competing. Currently, Ashley run's her personal training business out of a small private training gym in Chandler, Arizona called Elev8 Fitness. She does in person and online training and is also a Neufit practitioner helping people get out of pain and train in a more efficient way using neuromuscular reprogramming. Her number one goal in life right now is to help as many people as she can to live a fit and healthy lifestyle in a way that is realistic and maintainable.
