About

Welcome! I’m Ashlynn, and I’ve been teaching group fitness since 2017—it’s been my greatest joy to move together ever since!

I’m grateful to hold multiple roles that blend my passion for movement and community, including Director of Marketing and Communications for Fit Pro Programming, creative choreography team member for Barre Above and Pumped Up Strength, presenter, and instructor certification trainer. I teach weekly classes in Grand Rapids, Michigan, film new on-demand classes for my virtual studio, and am the founder of The Recovery Barre, a free sober movement community open to anyone seeking or supporting sober community.

The Recovery Barre operates through two interconnected branches:

1. Instructor Certification – Equips leaders with the tools, knowledge, and support to launch The Recovery Barre meetings and classes in their own communities, offered through Fit Pro Programming (FPP) and accredited by ACE, AFFA, and NASM.

2. 501(c)(3) Nonprofit – Provides training scholarships and mat grants to under-resourced communities, and collaborates with mission-aligned organizations to expand access and opportunity to movement in sobriety.

Before making the full-time leap into fitness in 2025, I spent nearly a decade as a school counselor and a year in nonprofit communications. I carry these experience into fitness with a passion for creating thoughtful, creative programming, supporting new instructors, and using intentional language to help all participants build a healthy and joyful relationship to movement.

Whether you join me virtually or in person, my mission is to help you discover joy in movement—so you feel energized, strong, and empowered to step into all you were uniquely created to do!

It’s an honor to move with you!
