This week on the podcast, Mikki speaks with Ashley Borden, an award-winning personal trainer and long-time fitness industry leader with decades of experience. This is a wide-ranging conversation about fitness and health, but also about standards, expectations, and what it really means to work in the fitness industry over the long haul. Ashley draws on her years of hands-on coaching and industry experience to reflect on how the space has evolved, what’s improved, and where things have arguably drifted off course. It’s a grounded, thoughtful discussion about doing the fundamentals well, maintaining professional standards, and building a sustainable career in an industry that’s always chasing the next trend.
