Ashley
Webb
Forte Partner / Coach
Ashley Webb is a Chattanooga native. Having grown up in an athletic family, she pursued the game of soccer since she was just three years old. Her passion and dedication to the sport led her to playing four years of D1 one soccer at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. As a student athlete, she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science. She then went on to achieve a Master’s Degree in Public Health while aiding the Women’s Soccer team as a graduate assistant.
Because she had to maintain her fitness and nutrition for much of her life, Ashley understands the importance of physical activity accompanied by proper nutrition. Always appreciating a good challenge, her pursuit of personal training developed out of a love for programming and creating workouts for herself and others.
Ashley believes that every individual is fearfully, wonderfully, and uniquely made, and that there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to achieving a healthy lifestyle. Understanding this, she desires to: listen to her client’s and meet them where they’re at, determine her client’s needs and goals, help provide the necessary guidance, tools, and methods that will establish confidence in her client’s, and ultimately help her client’s achieve a better quality of life.
Along with personal training, Ashley enjoys spending time with her husband, Lucas. She is also an avid runner, so you can probably find her going for a run around the beautiful Scenic City or finding a game of pickup soccer to join.
