Ashley Kolozsvary, 35 

Occupation: Nutrition and Fitness Lifestyle Coach, Owner of The Lifestyle Way, Howey-in-the-Hills

What I do: I coach and plan running group challenges, create fitness programs, make and share recipes and write educational content. 

My journey: It started in fitness with me as a Zumba and muscle pump instructor. Then my husband and I opened three CrossFit Gyms. After I had my first kid, I created an online program that kept my passion alive to help people while I could stay at home with my kids. I started The Lifestyle Way in 2015.

Why it’s my passion: I love for people to see what they are capable of. Bringing purpose to their life by making themselves a priority and seeing the confidence, energy and everyone in their circle flourish.

Notable achievement: Being able to provide for my family in a way I never could have imagined.

Words of wisdom: Make helping people a priority. Also, stay consistent. Success won’t happen in a day, a week or even a month. You must show up every day and do your best. Keep going, even when you get punched in the face repeatedly by life. 

Outside the gym: I really enjoy going to the beach with my family or going for a walk with my husband (and kids if they feel like joining).

Life after 40: I would like to be more organized with time management so I can focus on being a present wife and mother. Luckily, I’ve got five years to figure it out.
