One of four siblings, Ashley grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and out of high school attended cosmetology school. When her high school sweetheart’s professional basketball career took her overseas she put her career on the back burner. With her two kids and husband, she traveled back and forth for fourteen years between the states and amazing oversees locations like Israel, Germany, and Japan making a career very difficult to nurture. That was until they made the decision to move back to the states part time to benefit the kid’s learning styles.
Ashley was able to begin her fitness journey as the kids got slightly older and used going to the gym as an escape to set some time aside from herself. While she got involved in cardio, she found that lifting was her real interest. This led to macro counting and further snowballed from there into a passion for anything health related. During the pandemic, Ashley was able to delve into personal training and nutrition coaching, ultimately resulting in the creation of Ashley Duncan Training.
