Ashton

“Wellness is for everybody, and I’m passionate about what movement and wellness can do for you.”

Ashton has been in the fitness industry since 2018. As a personal trainer, yoga and reformer Pilates instructor, she believes that wellness is an integral part of optimal health. With a passion for the great outdoors and travel, Ashton founded The Weekend Collective to ensure others can enjoy movement, connection and amazing experiences to leave them feeling grounded, energised and restored.

Steve

“There’s something different about going on a retreat. Time to switch off, to reset. Not enough of us do it; more of us should.”

Steve has been a gym owner since 2016, and before that he was a professional footballer. His early career, and more recently life as a business owner, taught him everything he knows about health and fitness. Steve’s values are in helping everyone to feel fitter and stronger and to develop a positive relationship with movement. He believes in the power of community, and every Weekend Collective retreat he runs reflects that ethos.
