We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashley Williams and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ashley, what’s your definition for success?
What was your thought process behind starting your own business?
It started when I did not have a place to work out during Covid because all of the gyms had closed.
It was not intended to be a business, but it grew out of a personal need into a public need.

Social impact: how does your business help the community or the world?
We are trying to change people’s health and body one person at a time.
The healthier person creates a healthier community which creates a healthier world.

Risk taking: how do you think about risk, what role has taking risks played in your life/career?
There is a risk in everything we do. We just have to learn how to manage those risks.

If you are a parent, what do you think is the most important thing you’ve done as a parent in terms of the impact on your children?
I try to teach them the importance of a family unit and there is nothing more important than building a strong family.

What is the most important factor behind your success / the success of your brand?
Having a vision and staying committed to that vision.

How to know whether to keep going or to give up?
If you are constantly losing money you have to reset or close, In any business the idea is to make money. If you are losing money you need to think about your purpose of filling a need in the community.

Work life balance: how has your balance changed over time? How do you think about the balance?
I do not personally think about the balance. I believe in giving 100 percent in everything I do in my family and work life.

What makes you happy? Why?
There is no greater benefit in life than pouring your life into other people and helping make their lives better.

Why did you pursue an artistic or creative career? n/a

How do you define success?
Having vision in life and working to fulfill whatever vision you have and looking back with no regrets.

We truly love to hear the testimonies of our clients and the success they have achieved.

Here are a couple of testimonies from our clients.

“I looked at myself in December and realized that I had very little time to get where I wanted to be physically for my brother’s wedding in May. The dress had been ordered and it was time to kick it into high gear if I was going to squeeze into that bridesmaid’s dress! With the combination of a great personalized suggested meal plan, exercise, and weekly hormone therapy, I am achieving my goals in less time that I ever thought possible. I am SO grateful for Rezulz fitness for helping me not only reach my wedding weight goal but exceeding ALL of my expectations. I am not yet finished with my fitness journey, and I truly enjoy every sunrise I get to spend with my new family at Rezulz.”
Angela Ewers, age 51.

“Ashley and the team at Rezulz Fitness are second to none. They understand what it takes to help you reach your fitness goals. With Ashley’s help I was able to completely transform by body and with life changing results. I’m in the best shape of my life at 60. He helped me on a journey from starting out tired, overweight, and out of shape to stepping onto the stage of my first body building competition within one year and at 59 years old! I can’t begin to describe how rewarding my journey has been.
With Ashley’s help I dropped over 50 pounds of body fat and packed on muscle while doing it. It wasn’t always easy, but Rezulz made it simple. All I had to do was show up and follow direction. The professional guidance I received with diet, strength training, cardiovascular fitness, and hormonal assessments gave me a new lease on life. These folks know what they are doing. Whether it is your 1st day setting foot in the gym or you have done it for a lifetime you’ll receive a valuable education in a supportive environment that just feels like family. A family that truly invests in your goals.
It was Ashley who inspired me to reach fitness goals that were once unimaginable to me. This man has overcome adversity, and he walks the walk! Thankfully, he was gracious enough to lead me down that path. He can show you how to do it too, no matter your age, experience, or physical condition.
Thank you, Ashley! My most sincere thanks to you and everyone at Rezulz for helping to change my life. I’m leaner, stronger, faster, and mentally sharper than ever! Now I have the privilege of inspiring others the way you have inspired me. Keep up the good work brother!
Rob, age 60

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Rezulz gym is located right outside of Helen, Georgia which is a small German tourist town in the Northeast Georgia mountains.
If our friends were visiting we would take them to some of our favorite local hangouts such as Cafe International, The Troll, Paul’s Margarita Deck, and of course tubing right through the heart of Helen on the Chattahoochee River.
