Ashley Wilke is a health and fitness coach. She has certifications from Cornell in Plant-Based Nutrition, NASM as a Personal Trainer, Online Coach, and Women’s Fitness Specialist. She is uniquely qualified to develop customized plans for each client’s unique goals.
Women Fitness President Ms. Namita Nayyar catches up with exceptionally talented fitness expert Ashley Wilke to talk about her fitness routine, diet, skin care, hair care and her incredible success story.
Namita Nayyar:
Where you were born? Tell us about your early education and professional training if any. You later got certified in plant-based nutrition through Cornell University. This propelled your fitness and diet coaching career to the height where you have been a leading Vegan Fitness Coach. Tell us more about your journey of hard work, tenacity, and endurance?
Ashley Wilke:
I was born and raised in a small town in Illinois and moved to California in my 20’s. I now live in Arizona with my husband and our rescued fur-babies. Along with my certification in plant-based nutrition, I also have my degrees in digital media marketing and broadcast journalism.
Namita Nayyar:
You have appeared as an exceptionally stunning fitness model for the Celsius Energy Drink. Elaborate more about this amazing and inspiring modeling assignment?
Ashley Wilke:
Thank you! I’m very blessed to have worked with some amazing brands over the years, Celsius being one of them who I am currently an athlete for. They are a certified vegan friendly (and cruelty-free) energy drink which aligns perfectly with my core values.
I have a wonderful team behind me that I work with as a fitness model and influencer!
Namita Nayyar:
You are a leading media personality, model, influencer, Vegan Fitness Coach, and brand ambassador. How do you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Ashley Wilke:
I’ve found that it’s super important to plan and block out my days accordingly! Things are super busy right now, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I also want to stress the importance of having a day off to spend with family (Hi, Mom) and loved ones!
Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Ashley Wilke:
I love weight training, Pilates and the stair master! I weight train 4-5/ days a week and have an active rest day once per week where I get outdoors and hike!
Namita Nayyar:
Do you take a special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ashley Wilke:
I hate the word “diet.” Someone once said that the word “die is in it” and that always stuck with me! I don’t believe in diets because they only focus on the short term.
I live a vegan lifestyle, which means I do not eat anything that comes from a living being. I keep a general idea of my calories/macros to make sure I’m within a healthy range of my personal goals.

Oh goodness! Just like everyone else, some days are better than others! Dairy is a leading factor when it comes to acne and skin concerns, so being vegan helps for sure!

Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding fitness model girls, who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to the ladder of success in the field of fitness modeling?

My advice is to be yourself, stay healthy (both mentally and physically), and don’t be afraid to reach out to agencies and brands who you would like to work with!

I have always loved animals and believe that part of the reason I was put on this earth is to create awareness on animal welfare! I volunteer at various animal rescue groups both in person and use my voice on social media to raise awareness.

Namita Nayyar:
Fitness Modeling involves doing bold photo-shoots. How you are so body confident and advise your compatriots?
Ashley Wilke:
Before fitness modeling, I did a lot of lingerie and bikini modeling so that definitely helped! haha! But, the most important thing is to be comfortable with yourself and have thick skin. It’s a very cut-throat industry so you need to prepare yourself for that and learn to not take rejection personally.
Namita Nayyar:
How do you train your abs? One secret to your toned body.
Ashley Wilke:
Pilates is my secret weapon with abs! Unfortunately, you can’t spot tone fat though. So, you need to lose body fat in order for them to show. With that being said, cardio and a healthy calorie deficit is key!
Namita Nayyar:
Five foods you absolutely love and five you keep to a minimum.
Ashley Wilke:
Five foods I love and eat daily include, oatmeal, nut butter, berries, tofu, and protein shakes! I don’t really avoid anything, it’s all about moderation. Depriving yourself can lead to binges. If I want a piece of chocolate, I have a piece.
Namita Nayyar:
Five skincare myths.
Ashley Wilke:
Ooh! This is a great question. I’m not an aesthetician so I’m not sure! Hehe!
Namita Nayyar:
Five athletic leisure brands you love to wear.
Ashley Wilke:
My favorite brands are Buffbunny Collection, TLF Apparel, VeganPower Fitness, Gymshark and Cheri Fit.
Namita Nayyar:

Top travel destinations include, Africa, Bali, and Costa Rica.
