Cora Ashley

Personal trainer & online coach

My name is Cora, and coaching isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, where my love for movement and wellness first began. That passion carried me to Colorado State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health and Exercise Science, along with certifications in Personal Training and Fitness Nutrition through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. But like many people, my path wasn’t a straight line.

After graduation, I stepped into the corporate world — chasing what I thought was the “right” path. I climbed the ladder, checked the boxes… but something was missing. I felt disconnected from my purpose, and I knew deep down I was meant to do something more fulfilling. Something with heart. Something that helped people come alive.

So, I made the leap!

Just over two years ago, I moved to Houston and committed to building the coaching business I’d always dreamed of — one rooted in connection, growth, and true transformation. Now I get to do what I love every day: support women in stepping into their strength, confidence, and potential — physically, mentally, and emotionally. So if you’re ready to become the best version of yourself, I’m the girl for you!
