Ashley Fleishman was born and raised in Northwest Indiana, where she danced since she was 3 -- from performing at Disney World through her dance studio to dancing professionally for the Arena Football League’s Chicago Rush Adrenaline Rush Dancers.

​

She fell in love with group fitness in college while coaching her high school dance team and thought, “wouldn’t that be fun to teach a group fitness class?” A few years later she discovered TurboKick (by Beachbody), became a “front row diva” in class, and decided to take it to the next level and get certified. A month later she started teaching various types of classes from Barre, Strength to TRX and continuously thrived off the high energy of group fitness!

​

In 2020 when the pandemic hit, she knew she personally (mentally and physically) needed to continue teaching not only for herself, but for the community, so she started going live in a private Facebook group. That opened the doors to creating FIT AF -- a group fitness community with various types of classes (Cardio Kickbox, Barre, Strength and Stretch) and is excited to share her passion with the Dance on Broadway community!
