Hi, I’m Ashley Lissaint, Chief Encouragement & Empowerment Coach and founder of Core Cardio Fitness. I help my clients achieve permanent weight loss results, generate more energy, build more muscle, have more confidence and feel amazing. Core Cardio Fitness started in 2012 with two brothers, 12 RealRyder bikes, a few dumbbells and a burning passion to help others realize the benefits of a healthy lifestyle through balanced nutrition, cardiovascular exercise, and resistance training to create body transformations.
I was very active growing up and enjoyed running around the Cambridge Reservoir – Fresh Pond. I was an active basketball player participating in area travel teams and played high school basketball. I studied business at Boston University and after a failed attempt to make it as a walk for the B.U. Terriers I transferred and completed my bachelors in finance from Northeastern University. I began a career at John Hancock in Copley Boston and worked my way through operations, sales and into a National Relationship Management role after receiving my MBA from Northeastern University.
It was during this part of my career that my health and personal fitness took a back seat to the endless amounts of travel work, blackberry messages (now replaced with iPhones) and school group projects and assignments. I was successful with my education and my job but I was not happy knowing I was in the worse shape of my life. Upon completion of my MBA I committed to 6 weeks of clean eating, exercise, and getting back to the “old me” and that was the beginning of what I now call TRANSFORMATION. During that 6 weeks, I lost 30lbs and realized all the money and success in the world didn’t mean anything without good health and a positive mindset which working out gives me!
Today, Core Cardio Fitness is Malden’s leading small group fitness & coaching studio for busy professionals to lose weight, boost energy, and feel more strong and confident every day. We host 6-week transformations along with 28-day kickstarts to help people create their fitness goals, get back on track with their nutrition, get consistent with working out again and hold them accountable with support, motivation and guidance.
