CEO

Who am I? I am from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. Growing up with 16 siblings, our house was always full of love and energy. As a smaller kid with a big heart, I quickly got into sports, particularly football. I played through high school until an unfortunate event forced me to stop. That experience was a wake-up call, pushing me to choose a new path for myself, and thankfully, I stayed focused and earned my diploma.

Despite facing multiple setbacks in life, I learned valuable lessons from those experiences. They served as wake-up calls that helped me turn my life around. After navigating a challenging period of self-discovery, I became determined to find my way back to success. I joined a local gym and started working out, and the feeling I experienced after my first workout was unbelievable. I didn’t fully understand the science behind it, but I craved more.

In a short time, everyone noticed the results of my hard work. For me, it was more than just physical changes; the more I engaged in my health journey, the less stress I felt and the more focused I became in life. This newfound focus led me to earn my certification and start my own business. That’s when I truly understood the transformative power of fitness. It’s about more than just the physical; the mental toughness you develop makes you feel capable of conquering the world. 

That is what I aspire to share! My name is Ashton Thompson, and I am an ISSA-certified functional trainer. I use my knowledge of mental fitness to help others on their own journeys.

My journey has taught me that overcoming tough times builds character and helps you better understand life and yourself. You will live a peaceful journey if you consistently sustain a healthy lifestyle in every situation. I am grateful for my hardships because they made me the man I am today.
