Female personal trainer in Durham and Newcastle. Lift heavy, eat properly, and stop shrinking yourself to fit someone else's idea of what a woman should look like. No fad diets. No food guilt. No, you won't get bulky.
Ashton Alderson
I'm a personal trainer and online coach based at Ultra Flex Durham, specialising in fat loss, muscle building and confidence building. I qualified as a PT in 2023 after six years as a Specialist Occupational Therapist in mental health, so I coach the whole picture: your physique, your mindset, and the habits that make results stick.
I've been on both sides of this. I grew up competing in national-level gymnastics and cheerleading, and I still compete now. I'm a WABBA Bikini Pro, WABBA Miss Bikini Model Universe Venice 2024 and IFBA Miss Tyneside 2024. I've stepped on stage 17 times across 11 competitions and placed top five in every single one. So I know what it takes to diet for a goal. And I know the scarier bit too: eating more, gaining weight on purpose, and trusting the process. I've felt it, and I'll walk you through it.
Most women Ashton works with aren't lazy. They're doing plenty, just without the right structure. This is for you if:
You should know what you're signing up for. Here it is, both sides.
That's the whole formula. You learn why it works, you get a routine that fits your life, and Ashton keeps you consistent past the two-week wall.
Face-to-face sessions at Ultra Flex Durham or Hii Club Gosforth. Learn to lift properly, train with purpose, and actually enjoy it.
Training and nutrition on your phone with weekly check-ins. Built for shift patterns, commutes and real life. Ashton's lived that schedule herself.
Structured blocks with clear targets and tracked progress. Enough food to fuel your training, a plan you can stick to, and results you can see.
No filters, no extreme lifestyles, no borrowed photos. This is what consistency and proper fuelling look like. And no, none of them got bulky.
Two cities, two brilliant gyms. Pick the side of the A1 that suits you. Either way, Ashton is with you every rep.
