Ashley Justice (AJ) is deeply zealous about Pilates, having personally witnessed its profound impact on both the body and mind. It is not just a form of exercise to her; Pilates is a transformative journey that empowers individuals to discover their inner strength, achieve balance, and cultivate a sense of well-being like no other. This passion fuels her commitment to guide and support others on their own Pilates expeditions. Her Pilates voyage began in 2018. Upon stepping into the studio as a future student, AJ knew she would be diving unregretfully deep into this practice. Not only did she find her calling, but also what she refers to as the fountain of youth. While completing the rigorous comprehensive Power Pilates certification, she simultaneously rejuvenated herself. The art of Pilates alleviated twenty years of chronic nagging pain in her right shoulder.

Striving for inclusivity, AJ's greatest fundamental goal is to share her fresh perspective and deep appreciation for the metamorphic power of Pilates in a safe, judgment-free space. This practice has benefited those with absolutely no fitness background to professional athletes. Her current clientele ranges in fitness levels as well as ages from 16 to 76. Individuals are welcome to join her for a customized session tailored to their bodies. Allow her to unlock your full potential to live a healthier, more vibrant life and have some fun!
