MEET THE PERSONAL TRAINERS
Ashley Castillo
Ashley has been part of Monmouth Fitness for the past 6 years, and fitness has been a huge part of her life. She started out as a Group X instructor, teaching a variety of classes for 3 years, and for the past 2 years has been managing MFC.
"What I love most about fitness is not just the physical strength it builds, but the confidence, discipline, and energy it brings into everyday life. As a mom of three amazing girls, I know how important it is to find balance, stay motivated, and carve out time for your own health and wellness.
I’m passionate about helping people feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in their bodies. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or looking to push yourself further, I’m here to support, guide, and challenge you along the way."
Eric Tichenor

Since starting, Eric has learned a lot from different trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists, and countless other fitness professionals he’s met along the way. Eric is certified through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine), but his second certification through CFSC (Certified Functional Strength Coach) has really helped him find his identity as a trainer. Eric specializes in Functional Strength Training, Mobility, Weight Loss, Corrective Exercise, and Injury Rehabilitation. Eric is currently working to finish his degree at WOU to expand his knowledge on fitness.
