StrongHer For Life

StrongHer For Life Are you exhausted from years of putting everyone else first? Creator of StrongHer For Life. Hi, I’m Ashley Bishop and I was a fat personal trainer!

I can help you reconnect with your health, regain your confidence and energy, and feel more like you again - without hours in the gym, fad diets, 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! I was able to spin all the plates I needed to. 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.

If you’ve spent the last few years giving everything to your family, your work, and everyone else around you…

And somewhere along the way, you lost yourself.

Because here’s what I know ...

Women don’t message me for help because they want a six-pack.

They message me because they’re tired of…

• Waking up exhausted
• Feeling uncomfortable in their clothes
• Hiding behind layers
• Losing confidence
• Snapping at the people they love
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Always starting again on Monday
• Never feeling like “themselves” anymore

It’s not about willpower.

It’s not about discipline.

It’s not about “trying harder”.

It’s about having a plan that finally fits your life.

A plan that gives you more energy, more confidence, better habits, better sleep, and the space to feel like YOU again - without the guilt, without the fads, and without the pressure to be perfect.

That’s exactly what StrongHer For Life is built for.

A simple, supportive, habit-based programme designed specifically for busy women who want ...

✔ More energy
✔ More confidence
✔ Better relationships with food
✔ Sustainable weight loss
✔ Strength (physically + mentally)
✔ A routine that actually fits their real life
✔ A coach in their corner who understands their struggles

If you’ve spent years putting yourself last…

This is your reminder that you are allowed to take up space again.

No pressure, just a conversation.

Let me introduce you to Amanda…

“I met Ashley at an event. At the time, I was pretty unhappy, although I couldn’t even have told you exactly why.

It took a couple of conversations for me to realise what was really going on.

I was working long hours, I was overweight, and my relationship was suffering because I had completely lost confidence in myself, confidence in who I was, which I’d totally forgotten.

I was being everything to everyone ...

A businesswoman, a mum, a daughter, a wife…

And somewhere along the way, I stopped being me.

Quite frankly, I’d stopped investing in myself.

Ashley opened my eyes.

Not with pressure or judgement, but by giving me the tools, the support, and the belief I needed to finally make realistic changes … without even realising how much I was changing.

Once my mindset shifted, everything else followed.

My confidence came back.

I looked after myself again.

I did the things I loved without guilt.

The weight dropped, my energy improved, and my relationship transformed.

And the best part?

It never felt like a hard journey.

Three years later, the weight is still off.

I exercise regularly, and I actually love it.

I feel like myself again.”

When a friend says she’s starting a diet, why does it instantly make you think ...

Restriction, misery, and failure?

It’s never ...

“Great! You’re going to feel amazing.”

or

“That sounds enjoyable.”

It’s usually more like ...

“Here we go again…”

“Which fad is it this time?”

“Two weeks of misery incoming.”

“Boring food.”

“Missing out.”

And the truth is…

You think this because you've been through it yourself.

You've tried cutting carbs, tiny portions, obsessing, guilt, the “start again Monday” routine, shakes, rules, and restrictions.

You know exactly how it feels.

You know exactly how it ends.

So I’m curious…

What’s the FIRST thing that pops into your mind when someone says they’re going on a diet?

Please comment honestly - no judgement whatsoever.

“You’re not a woman! So how can you possibly understand?”
It’s a fair question.

And the honest answer is this ...

I don’t know what it feels like to walk in your shoes.

But I do know this…

For over 20 years, I’ve worked closely with hundreds of women.
Businesswomen, leaders, mums, carers, women who have spent years putting everyone else first.

I’ve listened without judgement.

I’ve supported without pressure.

I’ve guided without pretending to have lived your exact experience.

Through those conversations, struggles, tears, frustrations, and small wins … I do understand the themes that matter ...

✔ Feeling like you’ve lost yourself.
✔ Carrying guilt for putting your needs last.
✔ Losing confidence in your body.
✔ Battling low energy day after day.
✔ Feeling overwhelmed by the endless stop–start health cycles.

And I also understand this ...

The work we do together is not about the scales.
It’s about the saved marriages.
It’s about becoming a calmer, happier role model for your kids.
It’s about having the confidence to start that new business.
It’s about showing up at your best, not just for your family or your work, but for you.

It’s about creating the kind of moments you want to remember.

So no - I’m not a woman.

I’ll never pretend to know exactly how you feel.

But I am someone who has spent two decades helping women reconnect with their health, regain their confidence and energy, and feel more like themselves again - without guilt, fads or judgement.

If you’d like to be part of a supportive community of women who are on that same journey, I’ve just opened a brand-new Facebook group:

Why you’re exhausted ... and it’s nothing to do with age
If you’ve found yourself saying things like…

“I’m just getting older”
“I don’t have the energy I used to”
"I guess this is just what happens at my age”

Let me stop you right there.

Because exhaustion isn’t a sign of ageing ... it’s a sign of overload.

You’re tired because:

Your stress levels are constantly high

Your sleep is inconsistent

You don’t fuel your body properly because you’re busy

You’re running on caffeine and adrenaline

You spend your whole day doing things for everyone else

You’re not broken!

You’re not lazy!

You’re not lacking willpower!

You’re simply carrying more than your body was designed to carry.

And once women start working with me, the FIRST win they usually notice isn’t weight loss…

It’s energy

More clarity

No afternoon crashes

Waking up and actually feeling alive again

This week, focus on one thing:

Drink 2 litres of water a day (Yes, add squash if you find water boring!)

It sounds basic, but it’s a game changer.

Small shifts create big energy.

This was a message I received from a client this morning, just one week into her StrongHer For Life journey.

✅ 3.3kg down
⚡️ More energy — no more afternoon crash
😴 Better sleep

Does this sound like you?

You’ve tried every diet.
You’ve joined the gym.
You’ve even hired the PT.

Yet somehow, you still find yourself wondering…

“Why can’t I make this work?”

I see you.

I see you beating yourself up for not having more willpower.

I see you pushing through each day, holding everything together, being all things to all people.

I see the tiredness behind that brave smile.

You’re not broken.

You’re just exhausted from giving so much of yourself to everyone else.

It’s time to stop chasing quick fixes and start building a lifestyle that actually works for you.

One that helps you take back control of your health and rediscover your energy and confidence.

Because you deserve to feel more like you again.

If this resonates, and you’re ready to create real, lasting change, send me a message.

We’ll book a StrongHer For Life Call - 30 minutes just for you to offload what’s been going on, what’s holding you back, and the life you want to start living again.

If we both believe it’s the right fit, we’ll talk about the next steps together.

You’ve tried every diet going … and none of them stick.

Diet clubs, calorie counting, fasting, keto ... you name it, you’ve done it.

And for a while, it works.

The scales drop, the clothes feel looser, the motivation’s high.

But then life happens.

Work gets busy.

The kids need you.

And before you know it, you’re back where you started ... feeling frustrated, guilty, and wondering

“What’s wrong with me?”

Here’s the truth ...

It’s not the plan that’s broken.

It’s not you that’s broken.

It’s your relationship with food that’s never been repaired.

Because if food is still tied to stress, reward, or guilt ... no diet will ever fix that.

Until you understand why you eat the way you do, you’ll stay stuck in the 2–4 week health kick cycle.

It’s time to stop punishing yourself with restriction and start rebuilding trust with your body.

That’s where real, lasting change begins.

If this sounds like you, my StrongHer For Life programme could be a good fit.

Drop me a message, and we can explore what your StrongHer journey could look like.

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.
