OWNER & FOUNDER OF SWEAT HOUSE OC
ASHLYNN
Ashlyn is a native SoCal resident who originally grew up in Torrance, CA. She currently resides in Laguna Niguel with her husband Mike and her 2 littles, Mason and Savannah.
Growing up, Ashlyn played all sports under the sun, but focused on softball throughout her high school career. She moved on to study psychology and education at Antioch University and became a behavioral therapist for children with autism both in home and the school district for 7 years.
At the age of 27, Ashlyn tragically lost her 1st husband, which caused her to re-evaluate her life’s plan. Unaware of the next steps, she began diving deep into Pilates as both a method of fitness and a form of therapeutic release. This would ultimately be the foundation on which Sweat House was born.
After a few years of taking traditional Pilates classes, she then found Lagree Fitness. This would be the ultimate workout experience she was looking for. Lagree fulfilled everything she was looking for in a workout (cardio, toning, strength, cardio, flexibility, and high intensity while remaining low impact) After taking Lagree Fitness classes all over South Bay and Orange County, Ashlyn knew she found her calling and her next chapter. Ashlyn wanted to create a space for others, like herself, who were looking for an amazing workout while also finding a space of peace, hope, and joy.
In 2012 Ashlyn got Lagree Fitness certified with Sebastien Lagree and in 2013 her 1st studio in Mission Viejo was born. 2 years later she opened her second studio with her partner Pam in San Clemente and in 2022, Sarah came on board as a partner in Mission Viejo. Since then, they have had the ultimate joy of bringing you sweat, shakes, and Lagree!
Ashlyn’s ultimate goal with opening the studios was to create a safe space built off a positive community who share the same joy through Lagree Fitness. She wants everyone who walks through the door to feel encouraged, empowered, safe, welcomed, and included. She hopes you feel all those things and find your fitness home at Sweat House OC!
When she’s not at the studio, she loves spending time with her family, bbq-ing and social gatherings with friends, country concerts, wine nights with girlfriends, vacationing, and church on Sundays as a family.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT OWNING THE STUDIOS?
COMMUNITY! I never dreamed the studios would be what they are now. The community that has been built is our driving force. We have seen so many friendships made, babies born, marriages, and a whole lot of physical transformations! I absolutely love seeing clients goals being crushed and the progress they make over the months and years. I absolutely adore our clients and trainers and am so grateful they have chosen to take this ride with us!
