Welcome!

I’m Ashlynn—group fitness instructor, Barre Above creative team member, instructor trainer, former school counselor, and virtual studio owner. I’m so happy you’re here!

As your instructor, I focus on using uplifting, body-neutral language to help you find joy in movement and empower you to make fitness a positive, lasting part of your life—because I believe an approach that's fun, educational, built to the beat, and rooted in encouragement is the one that truly sticks.

I created the virtual studio to seamlessly integrate movement into your at-home routine or complement your in-person classes on home and travel days. The studio is packed with beat-driven, fully guided classes designed to maximize your time while delivering a fun, total-body workout at home. You’ll receive clear cues and options to help you tailor the intensity to what feels best for your body, ensuring every class leaves you feeling stronger, energized, and uplifted.

In addition to teaching weekly in-person and on-demand classes, I also lead instructor certification trainings and contribute to the Barre Above creative team by designing and filming monthly choreography. Locally in Grand Rapids, I love collaborating with businesses to host pop-up events and bringing personalized fitness experiences to your parties and gatherings.

Whether you join me virtually, in person, or through a hybrid approach, my mission is the same: to help you find joy through movement, build sustainable strength, and move better in everyday life—so you can step confidently into all that you were uniquely created to do.

It’s an honor to move with you!

"I’ve really been enjoying Ashlynn’s classes! Her instructions are clear and she is so positive and motivating. Each class is a new opportunity to challenge myself in a healthy way. I’ve noticed positive changes in both my body and my mind since being introduced to AH Movement. Ashlynn encourages her students to embrace barre as a way to show your body love and kindness. Her approach makes exercise enjoyable."

Zoe, Michigan
“Ashlynn is an amazing instructor and such a joy to watch! The music is fun, her enthusiasm is infectious, and you are bound to get a great workout in. I went from never having done a barre class to loving every second of it. I may not point my toes like a pro, but I continue to improve with each class. Truly anyone can do it at any level and leave feeling great.”

Kathryn, Rhode Island
“Finding barre and this community has been honestly life-changing for me, no exaggeration, and I just want everyone else to feel that too. I'm so so glad I found a movement that I love because I really do think it's such an important part of fixing my relationship with my body. Exercise used to be more like a punishment or chore, but now it's something that I look forward to and makes me just feel strong. Plus I can’t think of a sweeter person to support (and she's also, like, a really good teacher)!”

Nicole, Michigan
"Ashlynn's energy is so infectious when she teaches. She does a great job balancing showing the movements and motivating participants. As a person who is working to get back into fitness, I appreciated being able to modify and go at my own pace without feeling the pressure to "keep up" as you might in an in-person live class. It's a great experience that I would recommend to anyone!"

Erin, Michigan
“Ashlynn is not only one of the sweetest people I have ever met, but she has created an incredibly empowering community through her virtual studio! Her classes are so fun to attend and she has great music and a super positive attitude! I am so grateful for the environment she has created!”

Melissa, Michigan
“I love live class - I’m definitely going to keep doing them! It’s an amazing workout and I have fun doing it (and I usually hate working out!).”

Stacey, Canada
"Ashlynn’s class has become the highlight of my week! I love the accountability and convenience that the live classes offer. Her instruction makes it easy for any ability level to benefit from a barre workout! I highly recommend!"

Erica, Michigan
"Ashlynn is an excellent instructor! She is positive, encouraging, and so much fun! The class is appropriate for all levels and very well organized. If you're looking for the studio community feel, but want the flexibility of working out from anywhere, I would recommend it!"

Anokhi, Michigan
"I have loved my experience with AH Movement. Ashlynn provides clear instructions, so I know exactly what my body should be doing, and I always feel comfortable modifying for my own limits and needs. I love the membership option because it is so easy to book classes, and even if I only make it to one class a week, I'm still paying less than a drop-in!"
