A dedicated pain-free movement coach, Ashley Crocker shares her journey from a self-conscious dancer to a strength training advocate after discovering CrossFit in 2012.

Ashley discusses the importance of embracing strength beyond physical appearance, combating negative body image perceptions, and the power of focused, personalized coaching to overcome chronic pain and injuries. She also highlights the significance of mindset in recovery and the benefits of single-leg work and offers advice for women aspiring to enter the health and wellness industry. Through her story, Ashley emphasizes the transformative impact of strength training and the importance of seeking support and gaining experience to find one's niche in the coaching field.
