Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Hunter
Hi Ashley, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Yes-I started training in Acrobatics tumbling at the age of 5 with my Father; who was my first Coach. As I grew in the sport of Tumbling; I quickly started to grasp other dynamics such as Gymnastics, Cheerleading, Dance and Allstar Competitive Performance. I began to further my training and experience by joining various Cheer/Gymnastics teams and gaining new perspectives from different Coaches. Which overall increased my knowledge and performance level as an athlete and as a Coach. I had become a well decorated athlete in the sport of Cheer and Acrobatics Tumbling by the age of 15. I began coaching Cheer for my County’s Recreational Department at the age of 15 as well. By 16, I was coaching and choreographing routines for local Allstar teams in SWGA. All while still being apart of local and out-of-state teams to further my knowledge in the sport. My passion for Cheer and Acrobatics has grown tremendously-from when I was younger to this present day! In 2020 I started my company Hunter Athletics Sports and Recreational Training for the youth who share the same passion and dreams. We are a USASF/USAG Certified Cheer and Gymnastics training service with over 20 years experience in the field. We currently work with different schools, groups and organizations to develop Cheer/Acrobatics Programs and Fitness/Wellness programs for the youth and adults in the community!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey hasn’t been the easiest, but the reward for staying dedicated and consistent have been unbelievably fulfilling! Some of the struggles I’ve faced along the way (and still do) have been balancing the responsibility of being a Mother, a Coach and a full-time Business Owner. Your priorities shift daily and trying to manage it all with out overlooking anything can be tough; when you think everything is important. I learned that slowing down and handling tasks one day at a time worked better for me than trying to anxiously figure everything out all at once. “Take your time Ash, Rome wasn’t built in a day!” Grow and Flow with your progress!

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
It may not be surprising to those who know me, but for those who don’t; they may be surprised to learn that I still practice everything I teach. I was a former Competitive Cheerleader and Gymnast so the training has stuck with me for all these years. As I coach, I demonstrate everything I teach to show my athletes that if you truly train and practice your skills they’ll never leave you!
