Ashley Stanzel

I started to find a passion for fitness when I was in college at Southeastern. Loved the feeling of running around campus, clearing my mind and feeling free. Fast forward 5 years, I met my now husband at Happy’s Running Club. His passion was being in the gym, & got me into the gym and showed me everything I needed to know. The passion and love for weight training started there, never looked back! The box gym can be a very intimidating place for anyone who is just getting into weights. The Lord and my husband inspired me to be where am I today as a certified personal trainer. Training woman, teaching woman, motivating woman, empowering woman to feel amazing and start a journey to long term health will always be a passion for me.

I am born and raised in Metairie, Louisiana. I graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University in a degree in Nutrition Education. I was originally a nursing major, but once I started to get into running, I quickly changed to nutrition. To learn how to fuel the body and learn how our bodies work and function with proper nutrition. I met my husband in 2016 and moved to Prairieville. He is the reason I have found the Lord and I got baptized in 2020. The Lord is the reason why I am a mother of two beautiful little girls.

I find joy and comfort in reading the Bible with my husband every night. It has been a goal for us to read the Bible front to back! I also enjoy reading all the thriller/ suspense books. Enjoy being in the outdoors with my husband and girls.
