Ashley Borden is a personal trainer who currently offers private training and group classes in Los Angeles, CA. In 2008, she co-authored Your Perfect Fit with Paige Adams-Geller. This book combined fashion, fitness, and food tips and received high reviews. In 2010, she released her most recent workout video, Core Balance DVD with Gaiam.

During these four-day long retreats, participants enjoy personal training sessions, spa treatments, and meals, all of which follow Ashley’s S.O.S. Food Plan.
