About Ashtyn Johnson
Ashtyn Johnson has spent 16 years transforming lives as a coach, working with hundreds of clients to help them achieve their fitness, endurance, and personal growth goals. Based in Austin, Texas, she’s directed large-scale programs, including a marathon training initiative with 500 runners and 52 coaches, and led boot camps for groups of up to 60. While she’s excelled in these broader efforts, Ashtyn thrives in one-on-one and small group settings, where she can truly impact individuals' progress and improvement.
As a lifelong learner and advocate for growth, Ashtyn holds numerous certifications, including from the American Mountain Guide Association, USA Track & Field, CrossFit Endurance, and StrongFirst Elite, among others. Her expertise spans a variety of disciplines, from advanced mountain guiding and endurance coaching to personal training and yoga assisting. She even brings over 22 years of experience in cosmetology, blending her diverse skills into a holistic approach to coaching and mentoring.
Her accomplishments are as impressive as her dedication. Ashtyn has competed at the national level in USA triathlons, placed 3rd in state powerlifting in high school, and completed countless marathons, endurance trail races, and 100-mile cycling events. Notable achievements include traversing the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim, summiting multiple 14,000-foot peaks, and organizing a 12-hour overnight run to celebrate her 37th birthday. She also biked from Dallas to San Marcos to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club.
Ashtyn’s coaching philosophy is grounded in psychology and personal growth. She focuses on uncovering the fears or barriers that hold people back, helping clients recognize their strengths and weaknesses to achieve confidence and balance. Beyond physical training, she views her role as guiding clients toward self-regulation and intentionality, applying lessons learned through movement to every aspect of life.
When she’s not coaching, Ashtyn enjoys exploring creative outlets like ceramics, printmaking, and nature photography. She loves traveling to natural settings, caring for her plants, and baking for loved ones. Her philosophy of learning, growth, and intentional living embodies the spirit of lifelong learning she brings to all she does.
