Ashley-Barbour2

Being involved in sport from a young age Ashley discovered how to develop and maintain his own strength and fitness to perform at an elite level. This experience motivated him to learn more about the body and delve deeper into the meaning of a healthy body and healthy mind. Ashley studied Sports Therapy and Sports and Exercise Science at Leeds Beckett University, picking up a massage qualification on the way to graduation. His education and experience at University triggered a passion in helping others achieve their goals, whether it was to get fit, get strong, return from injury or train for an event. Seeing others smile and feel proud of their progress and achievements is what really motivates Ashely.

Since working at Chilli Pilates Ashley has continued to learn and expand his knowledge, and being part of an engaging team where he can bounce ideas off his colleagues has really progressed and enhanced his skills as a class instructor, personal trainer and massage therapist. Ashley is extremely driven and dedicates himself to helping his clients fulfil their goals and achievements.

“Healthy is an outfit that looks different on everybody. Healthy mind, healthy body, healthy spirit. Nothing is more priceless than a healthy life.”
