Instructor Focus: Ashley Owen


I have always been a sucker for a good workout. I grew up participating in competitive gymnastics and then cheerleading in high school. My career continued at the University of Miami where I was a cheerleader for four years—Go ‘Canes!

After graduating, I moved to LA and began the search for something to fill what I called my “cheer void.” I hate gyms, so that was out and I’m way too loud for yoga. I actually signed up for a half marathon in hopes that that would become my new hobby. Let’s just say I made it across the finish line. Barely. 

I was actually dragged by my boyfriend to what the online ad called “a kick in the butt workout” at 8 am…on a Saturday. Despite my skepticism, one workout was all it took for me to know that OBC was exactly what I was looking for. Not only did it give me a chance to gloat about doing more push-ups than my boyfriend, but after a few months I felt like I was back in cheerleading uniform shape.

OBC is like having practices, a coach, and teammates all over again. No matter how tired I am when I get to the park in the morning, I always leave laughing, sweating, and feeling great about myself—which is really the most valuable gain from the program. Ok, except maybe looking good in a bikini.

I encourage everyone to see what OBC can help you accomplish in just one month. Not only will you make great changes, it’s one of the best teams you’ll ever be a part of!
