Introduction

*Before messaging me about in-person services, please note that I am located in Chicago, and I provide remote services to those who live out of the area.* Have you ever thought to yourself, “I feel like I’m doing everything I can, but I’m still not seeing results!” You’re not alone. Following diet and workout plans can feel like an overwhelming amount of work, especially when they’re written by someone who has never even met you. Or have you ever thought, “I know what I should be doing, I just need to DO IT!” Again, you're not alone. The problem has never been you or your lack of ability, it has been your lack of a strategic plan! It's time to BREAK THROUGH all the obstacles that have been holding you back, and see the results you’ve always hoped for come to life. The Grind Before Wine helps to simplify health and fitness by eliminating complicated routines, restrictive rules, and extremely time-consuming programming. Instead, you'll receive a custom program that was especially designed for you, your unique needs, your goals, and your schedule. It's time to give up on workout and nutrition plans that make your life harder, and upgrade to a plan that will not only make your life easier but also improve the quality of your life. Discover what it's like to sleep better, move with less pain, feel more energized, and gain strength in a program created especially for you. Contact me to schedule your complimentary consultation today.

I've worked with Ashley for a few years now, through a good chunk of the pandemic and beyond. She's helped me transform my workout routine, my relationship with food, and how I find balance in my day-to-day life. What drew me to working with her was her emphasis on a balanced life - one where you're able to indulge while not compromising your physical and mental health. It's been so critical to my successes so far to have Ashley writing my workouts: she has taken out the guesswork of having to build a variety of strength-training sets for myself, and she's always available to check form, talk through (literal) pain points, and anything else I need. Ashley has not only focused on working with me to adjust workouts to my capability levels for both of my injuries, but has honed in on ways to strengthen the muscles around those spots to prevent re-injury. It's so much more targeted and tailored to me than I could have ever figured out on my own! Ashley has also transformed my relationship with food. From working with her, I have learned so much about nutrition and have really overhauled my understanding of what I'm putting in my body and how it affects me. I still have a long way to go to reach my goals, but every year of working with her I've built on the foundations from the year before, and it's all adding up to the most sustainable and balanced lifestyle I've had my whole adult life. I appreciate Ashley's patience, her unfailing positivity, and her lack of judgment. It's helped me find a pattern and a routine that I'm sticking with more and more, and I genuinely look forward to the growth she'll help me achieve in the future!

I worked with Ashley for about a year, and she really helped me to reframe my thinking around my body, food, exercise, and weight loss. She was patient, and had an answer to every question or wondering I had. She recognized where I was in my journey and was helpful in supporting baby steps to help me overcome an all-or-nothing mindset. Ashley also helped me to accept that the process was going to be slower than I wanted, but these types of shifts are not meant to happen instantly (even though quick fixes are appealing). Ultimately, I achieved success through working with Ashley that I think will be sustainable because she provided tools and facilitated habits and mindsets that have served me even after our formal coaching relationship ended. I am grateful for the strategies I learned because I was definitely drawn to diet culture and yo-yo dieting before, and now, I can see a path forward.

Ashley has been amazing. I’ve been working with her for 3.5 years now, and I’ve gotten much stronger because of it. She is always very professional, she consistently challenges me, and she has adapted whenever I’ve needed special accommodations due to recovering from surgery etc. I would highly recommended her to anyone looking for a trainer.

Working with Ashley has been an amazing experience! She puts together amazing and easy to follow programs that have helped me make tremendous progress in just 8 weeks. I am now in the gym 4 days a week and really enjoying it. Ashley takes the time to get to know your own goals and works with you to make sure you are continuing to progress. I highly recommend Ashley and The Grind Before Wine!!

Ashley is a wonderful personal trainer! She develops interesting and challenging custom programs, helps with creating a healthy nutritional mindset, and is always there to listen or answer questions. Goal-setting, accountability, and support have been key for developing consistency (and muscles!) in the gym. I have been working with her for over a year and Ashley’s knowledge and positivity have been amazing, definitely recommend!
