Ashley Soule

Ashley started her powerlifting journey at Atlanta Women’s Barbell in 2021 in the hopes of learning how to properly train with barbell weights safely. What ended up happening was Ashley found a community of women learning how to become progressively stronger together in more ways than just physical strength. Her goal is to contribute to the environment that created this balanced passion of teaching the technical skill of each lift in a group class uplifting each person. Outside of the gym, Ashley loves to lose track of time drinking an iced coffee while walking around thrift shops, snuggling her two dogs, and traveling with her husband.
