A Unique Path to Fitness

Ashleigh Quint’s transformative journey from a college athlete to a renowned strength coach has been an inspiring one in the world of sports performance and fitness. Overcoming setbacks and injuries, she channeled her passion into understanding the human body and optimizing performance. Her unique path started when a shoulder injury ended her pitching career but pushed her to study sports medicine and exercise science. An unexpected internship opportunity under Charles Poliquin propelled her into the fitness industry, where she worked with Olympic athletes, gaining valuable insights into injury prevention and peak performance.

 

Founding Uplift Fitness and Wellness 

Driven by a thirst for knowledge, Ashleigh pursued a master’s degree in integrative medicine, focusing on experiential health and healing. She collaborated with esteemed physicians and coaches to bridge the gap between research and practical application, enriching her expertise further. With over two decades of experience, Ashleigh founded her gym, Uplift Fitness and Wellness, where she created a community-oriented space for individuals seeking physical transformation and healing from injuries. Her holistic approach to fitness, emphasizing mind, body, and spirit, has solidified her position as a respected pillar in the strength and fitness community.

 

Meeting Rob Fletcher and Embracing New Opportunities 

Ashleigh Quint’s career took a momentous turn when she met Rob Fletcher, the Business Development Director for Muscle and Fitness+. Recognizing her unique expertise, Rob invited her to collaborate with him ten years ago, which opened new doors in the fitness industry. Fast forward to January 2023, Rob reached out to Ashleigh again, offering her the opportunity to create her own channel on the new Muscle & Fitness+ platform. This innovative platform takes a holistic approach, integrating medical, health, fitness, and anti-aging expertise to educate and raise awareness among both the general population and athletes.

Drawing inspiration from her experience with Uplift Fitness and Wellness, Ashleigh launched her channel titled “Uplift Yourself with Ashleigh.” As a female professional in a predominantly male-dominated industry, she brings diversity to the fitness landscape, providing a relatable voice for individuals who may not fit the traditional mold. With Rob’s relentless focus on education and awareness in the fitness industry, Ashleigh believes their collaboration can help bridge the gap between coaches, trainers, doctors, and high-level professionals, ultimately changing healthcare for anti-aging individuals. She views Muscle & Fitness+ as the ultimate platform for this transformative merge to take place.

The platform provides an opportunity for Ashleigh to showcase her friendships and network of inspirational and highly qualified coaches and medical physicians, creating content that pushes the boundaries of the fitness industry and expands the possibilities for anti-aging health and wellness.

“To me, fitness is not merely a hobby or a job; it’s a lifelong passion. I feel grateful every day that I get to pursue what I love and make a positive impact on the lives of others surrounding me.  I was honored to work with Rob at Muscle & Fitness+ to help bridge this gap for coaches, trainers, doctors and high-level professionals who all have hands involved in making this collaboration possible. Rob’s focus on placing an emphasis on educating and building awareness in the fitness industry aligns with what I do professionally.” Ashleigh says.

        Congratulation Ashleigh,
        We will never forget the training, outside the normal weight lifting and expertise you showed, in teaching our young boys about eating right and getting physically fit.

    Ashleigh’s passion for fitness has propelled her to excellence in this field that has been dominated by men. She is an expert at what she does while bringing a loving and caring heart when helping others. Ashleigh personally helped me thru an injury recently. She knew exactly what it was and how to fix it and I could tell she really cared about my well-being. I am blessed just to know Ashleigh.

      I have benefited from working with Ashleigh for over 10 years. She, and her staff, customize workouts to clients’ individual needs . I appreciate learning about the science behind the workouts and why I need to strengthen certain areas to compensate for other weaknesses. There is no question she is highly knowledgable in her field.

    Ashleigh is one of the best coaches I have ever had. She promised me I’d dunk by my 8th grade year! She tells me what to do & I do it. I trust her with my game & Uplift is practically a second home. She has been my coach for 3 years and I’m already being looked at by D-1 Universities. i will be a freshman in high school in 2 weeks. Ash knows how to develop me as an individual player. I am forever grateful 🐐 she is the goat!

    Ashleigh is an awesome person and a great trainer. She knows exactly what each individual needs for their development and focuses on their body accordingly. She always demonstrates great knowledge towards sports fitness and helps the individual to achieve their goals. My 11yr old is already showing a lot of improvement and I am sure working with her, he will meet and exceed all his set goals.

      Ashleigh is a great trainer and an even better person. My 16 year old daughter started training with Ashleigh last school year and it’s been incredible to see her strength grow not just physically but mentally. Ashleigh always explains to my daughter why she is doing what she is doing and how it translates to her basketball and overall fitness. Ashleigh truly believes in training the entire person. So blessed we found her!

    Ashleigh rehabbed me as an 8th grader having ACL / Meniscus surgery. I was rehabbed 3 months earlier and released by my Orthopedic due to my strength ratios being met! Ashleigh worked with me, my parents, my physical therapists and my orthopedic surgeon. I did whatever she said. I trusted the process. She inspired me to want to study sports medicine. I received an award for Sports Medicine at school because she taught me more about my knee, strength training and rehab than I could ever ask for. Im so proud of Ashleigh, happy to be working with her and knowing she is my coach. I’m locked in with her. Great article!

    One thing I love about the training I receive from Ashleigh is that she pushes me to get the best out of me, even when I don’t think I’m strong enough to do what she tells me to do, and she follows it up with positivity and builds belief in myself that I didn’t know was there. I’m stronger than I thought I was because of Ashleigh.

    Ashleigh was recommended to me when my daughter then in high school wanted to pursue soccer at the college level. Ashleigh customized a regimen that my daughter needed to be the strongest version of herself, and as it turned out, one of if not the strongest players on her college team. She’s the real deal.

    I came to Ashleigh as a 40 year old athlete, and have developed unseen to me issues with my mechanics and movement. She was able to find multiple issues that I have been unconsciously dealing with. She was able to diagnose and then create a corrective exercises to fix my issues. Now 4 years later I am stronger, have a greater range of motion and living pain free. She raises the bar when it comes to professional trainers. You won’t realize it until you work with her and can see the contrast in her level of knowledge and wisdom.

    Ashleigh has been a tremendous influence on some many children in the community! I’m honored to be part of her journey working with her at the gym. Watching kids come in and give her a goal, and watching her help them smash their goals is amazing! I can not wait to see the things we will accomplish with her on our corner.

      Ashleigh Quint is top tier! On the eve of his travel basketball season, my son Jeffrey suffered a serious ankle injury at practice. A fellow teammate landed on the inside of his right ankle as they both went for a rebound resulting in a grade2/grade 3 high-ankle sprain, tears in his ankle’s anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament. In panic mode, I immediately called Ashleigh thinking that his AAU season was over before it started. But she was confident that she could get him back by the second half of the season. While his teammates practiced, Jeffrey began rehab with Ashleigh in conjunction with his prescribed PT exercises. After the first week in the walking boot, Ashleigh incorporated stationary cycling exercises to help rebuild stamina. Then they began light plyometrics and jumping to make it as game-like as possible. Ashleigh was invested in ensuring that he would return to the court safe and confident. After four weeks of rehab, Jeffrey went back to practicing with his team. Within six weeks, the second half of the season, he was back on the court. None of this would’ve been possible without Ashleigh’s passion and expertise.

    I started training with Ashleigh about 15 years ago when I was in the sixth grade. I still remember her first gym! Over the years, I have not always been able to keep up with training as my life got busier, but Ashleigh welcomes me back every time with open arms no matter how much time has passed. She is always willing to go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals. She is an awesome trainer and just over all amazing person.
