Creator of the StrongHer For Life Programme Hi, I’m Ashley Bishop and I was a fat personal trainer! I was able to spin all the plates I needed to.

I help women who’ve put everyone else first for years reclaim their health so they can rediscover their energy and confidence, and feel more like themselves again, without hours in the gym, fads or guilt. I launched my personal training business in 2005 and within 3 years with no business knowledge, I was fully booked, delivering 40 – 50 60 min PT sessions a week. This meant when you added in the running of the business, I was regularly working 60 – 70 hour weeks. In those early days, I could manage that because I lived at home, mum and dad did everything for me, and I had no children! Fast forward to when I was married, Caitlyn and I had a home to look after, and we’d just had our first born Thomas I had a lot of plates to spin, and something had to give. What gave was me, I stopped looking after myself. I didn’t exercise, I ate a lot of junk food, lots of coffee and whiskey and by the time Thomas was 1 I’d piled on 3.5 stone, couldn’t get to the top of the stairs without being breathless and generally struggled to give my best to those I loved most. I needed to sort myself out, this is when I decided that diet and exercise alone wasn’t the answer. I needed to learn how to create real change in my life that was long lasting over those traditional peaks and troughs of ‘I’m on it’ or ‘I have no motivation to do it’. Fast forward to today, I work with people just like me …

Business owners who are focused on growing their businesses so they can make a bigger impact in the world BUT also do what they do because they want to give their families the best life possible. The only way to excel in business and thrive in life is to create daily routines and habits that fit into your lifestyle and optimise your physical and mental fitness.

You’ll NEVER Be at the Top of Your Priority List

I know… that doesn’t sound very motivational for a Monday!

But here’s the truth:

Life is busy. Work demands attention. Family needs you.

And when you do prioritise yourself, that guilty inner voice often pipes up ...

“Shouldn’t you be doing something for someone else?”

In fact, that’s exactly why you’ve become an expert in the 2–4 week health kick cycle.

To break that pattern, we need to shift focus to habits built on the Minimum Effective Dose.

Discovering the smallest, most realistic actions that give you the biggest return.

Think of it as your ROTI — Return On Time Investment.

It’s about finding what works for you, the approach that fits your life and creates lasting results.

This is how you achieve long-term change without sacrificing everything else in the process.

If you’d like help finding your Minimum Effective Dose, drop me a message and we’ll schedule a discovery call.

You’ve smashed it at work this year — but your body’s paid the price.

The long hours, stress and constant demands have taken their toll.

Now it’s time to put some of that effort back into you.

Drop a Stone Before Christmas and Feel Your Best

Has your focus this year been on building your business or climbing the career ladder?

Take a moment to look back and see how far you’ve come.

You’ve worked hard — but if you’re honest, your own health’s taken a hit along the way.

Now check in with yourself… are you:

Frustrated that you’ve put on weight and lost fitness?

Getting out of breath more easily than you used to?

Annoyed that your body doesn’t bounce back like it did in your 20s?

Looking in the mirror thinking you’re not quite the person you used to be?

If that sounds familiar, my 6-Week RESET Programme could be exactly what you need.

Over 6 weeks you’ll:

✅ Drop up to a stone in weight
✅ Rebuild strength, fitness & flexibility
✅ Boost your energy and confidence
✅ Feel proud of the person looking back at you

The RESET Programme focuses on creating simple, time-efficient habits that fit your life — not take over it.

No fads. No fluff. Just structure, accountability and results.

The usual investment is £397 — but I’ve opened 5 spaces at £247.

If you’re ready to feel great for Christmas (and start 2026 strong), comment RESET or send me a message today.

Monday Morning Inspiration – 2 Questions

There are two simple questions you can ask yourself every day to get crystal clear on where you’re heading and why it matters.

1️⃣ What do I want to achieve today?
2️⃣ Why is it important to me?

Clarity creates focus. Focus drives action.
And daily action builds momentum.

Have an amazing week and if you need any support, I’m here for you.

I’m Sorry, I Lied!

For a long time, I made health and fitness sound easy.

I told people they could get fitter, stronger, and feel better without really trading too much time or effort from other parts of their lives.

Here’s the truth…

It’s simple, but it’s not easy.

Something I’ve noticed over the years is that many clients struggle at first.

Not because they don’t want it, but because real change takes real effort.

You have to make space for it.

You have to do the work.

And I get it, you might be thinking ...

“Why bother if it’s going to take time, energy, and discipline?”

Here’s why ...

Because the alternative is worse.

You stay where you are...

❌ Struggling to keep up with your kids
❌ Waking up with back or joint pain
❌ Feeling sluggish and underperforming at work
❌ Hating what you see in the mirror

The truth is ...

You have to choose your hard.

Looking after yourself is hard.

Living with pain, regret, and frustration is hard.

So which “hard” are you choosing?

If you’re ready and willing to do the work to ...

Drop a stone

Rebuild your strength

Beat the afternoon crash

Before Christmas, it’s time for your RESET42.

RESET42 is my signature 6-week programme to achieve just that.

Monday Morning Inspiration – Fail Faster! ⚡️

Failing doesn’t sound very inspirational, does it?
But here’s the truth — we learn far more from our failures than our successes.

So if we fail faster… we actually succeed faster.
Every setback teaches us something. Every mistake brings us one step closer to getting it right.

So stop waiting for perfect conditions — take action, learn quickly, and keep moving forward.

Have an amazing week, and if you need support, I’m here for you.

Monday Morning Inspiration – Focus on What You Can Do

Confucius once said, “He who says he can, and he who says he can’t, are both usually right.”

This week, shift your focus to what you can do.

The actions you can take.

The choices you can control.

Because when you focus on what’s possible, not on what’s perfect, progress always follows.

Start small. Take action. Keep moving forward.

Have a great week, and if you need support, my inbox is open.

3 Months Left of 2025.

(15 days ago, I posted about 100 days to Christmas – be honest… have you actually done anything yet?)

That’s still enough time to drop 10kg.

That’s still enough time to feel fitter, stronger, and more energised.

That’s still enough time to look in the mirror on New Year’s Eve and actually like what you see.

But only if you start now.

Most people will wait until January.

They’ll say they’ll “get back on it” in the new year.

Truth is… January never saves you.

Start today and by Christmas:

✅ You could be 10kg lighter
✅ You could have more energy for work and family
✅ You could be setting the example your kids deserve

3 months is more than enough.

But only if you’re willing to begin.

Want the plan and accountability to make it happen? Drop me a message.

Monday Morning Inspiration – Trade Offs

Ever been out with friends ...

Great food, drinks flowing, memories being made ...

Only to step on the scales after and feel frustrated?

The problem isn’t the night out.

It’s that you didn’t think about the trade offs before it happened.

When you know the trade offs upfront, a little slower progress on the scales, but a great time with people you care about, and you’re OK with that, there’s no guilt.

No beating yourself up.

Progress comes from making conscious choices, not chasing perfection.

Here’s to a great week and if I can support you in any way, drop me a DM.

Looking and feeling your best has NOTHING to do with vanity!

It’s about avoiding the moments that cut deep:

❌ Sitting on the sidelines, breathless, while your kids beg you to play and having to say no

❌ Choosing baggy clothes to hide your belly instead of wearing what actually makes you feel good

❌ Avoiding mirrors, photos, and even holidays because you hate how you look without a shirt

❌ Walking into the boardroom drained, foggy, and running on caffeine instead of confidence

That’s not vanity.

That’s reality.

It’s holding you back more than you’re willing to admit.

The good news?

It doesn’t have to stay this way.

With the right plan, you can lose the weight, regain your fitness, and rebuild the strength and energy that makes you unstoppable at work and at home.

If you’re tired of hiding, I’ll show you how.

Book a 20-minute Discovery Call today, and let’s get you back to being the man you want to be - fit, strong, and proud of the person in the mirror.

Helping you be fitter, be stronger, and live better.

Watch Your Speed 🚦

When it comes to health and fitness, pace matters.

Let’s go!💪👊🔥
