I’m Ashli—a Registered Dietitian, Certified Trainer, lifelong athlete, and the person behind The Fitness Cowgirl.

My background has never fit neatly into one lane. Over the years, I’ve competed in bodybuilding, powerlifting, obstacle course racing, marathons, and MMA, which has given me firsthand experience with very different demands on strength, endurance, fueling, recovery, and performance.

Professionally, I’ve spent years working across individualized nutrition and training, athletes, military populations, and clinical settings. That combination of education, coaching experience, and time spent actually competing shapes how I approach fitness now: build strength, develop endurance, fuel well, and train in a way that keeps you capable for the long haul.

The cowgirl part is real, too. I’ve lived on a farm my whole life and owned my own for about a decade. I train my own horses and barrel raced for roughly 20 years. These days my three horses are mostly trail partners and riding is one of my favorite ways to reset. Three dwarf goats, two dogs, and two barn cats round out the farm.

I want both—endurance and strength, performance and longevity. The Fitness Cowgirl is for athletes of every gender who want to run hard, lift heavy, fuel well, and build a body that performs now and keeps working for years to come.
