reSTORE YOUR POSTURE & reclaim your life

Are you looking for 1-on-1 Personal Training in West Michigan that helps your body work for you, not against you?

Let’s chat.

about me

Ashley Plowman, MSHM, NASM-CES, FMS1, CSCS

With 18 years of personal training under my belt, I know that how someone’s body responds to the environment around it is as unique as their fingerprint and ever-changing.

That’s why I’ve been a student of the structure and function of the body my entire career.

  • I hold a Masters Degree in Human Movement

  • I’ve acquired numerous corrective exercise and performance-specialty certifications, and

  • I am currently pursuing the Postural Restoration Trained (PRT), a prestigious distinction that as of 2024 is held by less than 72 individuals internationally.

I grew up an active kid and find joy in continuing that lifelong passion with more physically-demanding hobbies.

These days, you can find me restoring the generational farmhouse my father and I grew up in, running, and playing basketball. Over the years, my journey has shifted from specific competitive endeavors toward strengthening the foundations needed for any level of athletic movement. This helps me achieve longevity and freedom to continue to do what I love.

Most importantly, it is my desire to cultivate this knowledge and skillset in order to help others do the same.

What does it look like to work with me?

After booking your free consult, we’ll meet at my office located inside Simio Health & Wellness in Zeeland, MI. Here we’ll discuss your goals, concerns, health history, and do some baseline assessments. I’ll share more about what I do and how it will help you reach your goals.

As part of this assessment I will determine how your body is positioned allowing me to uniquely individualize your program. This will better guide me as to which exercises are best for you, unlocking the potential for you to feel, look, and move better. I can take traditional gym exercises and specialize them to you based on your body’s needs.

My services are best used for individuals looking to overcome chronic aches and pains, looking to personalize their current gym workouts, or searching for a transition from physical therapy into a more traditional fitness routine.

What results should you expect?

Training together means you’ll have someone in your corner to keep you accountable, provide insight to your progress to keep you motivated, and give you the right tools to keep you succeeding.

You can expect to go from:

  • Having poor posture to having a body that’s aligned, helping you finally feel and function well again

  • Questioning your balance to feeling confident and steady

  • Experiencing chronic pain such as low back or neck discomfort to having strategies to get out of pain so you can do the activities you love (hike! play with your grandkids! travel!)

  • Sleeping poorly to knowing breathing strategies that will help you sleep more soundly

  • Feeling overwhelmed to having a greater sense of emotional and mental wellbeing

  • Doing the wrong exercises for your body to having a professional customize each workout for your unique structure and function

  • Experiencing self-doubt to living life with more energy and confidence

WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Lean on Me Fitness has changed my life.

While working with a Postural Restoration physical therapist, I began to earnestly learn about and practice this unique and powerful approach to retraining the body’s movement patterns. I met Ashley while observing her work as a personal trainer with an aging family member. Watching Ashley adeptly and patiently explain her postural training principles, while applying them to specific exercises, created for me amazing moments of synergism. It felt like pieces of a complex puzzle were beginning to fit together, seeing in practice how stunningly interconnected the human body is! I sensed that Ashley’s training approach could also assist me. After only a few weeks of working together on repositioning my body and helping me to direct airflow, I am already noticing improvement; she is essentially helping my body build a more solid foundation on which to become stronger.  Her unique approach to personal training complements what I continue to work on with my PT. Ashley delivers a great balance of encouragement and challenge, uses our time together exceptionally well, and is a true joy to interact with!

  • Ashley is amazing! I started with her due to a sore point in my knee, and she worked with me on my breathing techniques and gave me some exercises to help with those. I’m amazed at how much better I sleep! I didn’t see that coming. Also, with the aligning everything, it is taking the strain off my knee. If you want a natural way to feel good, I recommend going and seeing Ashley!

    ~ Shelly J.

  • My husband and I have trained with Ashley for several years. She is reliable, knowledgeable, and caring. She individualizes our programs to fit our goals, even adapting them at a moments notice, if necessary. Her enthusiasm for her work is contagious, making each workout fun as well as effective! We are very happy with her!

    ~ Nancy B.

  • Ashley has been my personal trainer for 10+ years. She is extremely knowledgeable and individualizes each session to meet goals, however, she makes program adjustments when necessary and always keeps the safety and needs of her client in the forefront. With her specialized training not only has my physical health greatly improved but my mental and emotional well-being has been strengthened too. Add to that her great sense of humor and you'll look forward to working out!
