Biography
My name is Andy Ashton. I was born in England May 18th 1983 in a town called Blackpool. As a young child I was very active, healthy and mischievous, I found it very hard to focus on the academic side, but when the bell rang and it was time to play sport, you could be sure that I was the first youth to be in line. As a young child I took part & competed in every sport there was, winning many competitions and awards. I wasn’t too sure of what I was going to do in life as I started to grow older, but when I was introduced to the world of fitness, I knew that this was my ultimate passion. Fitness became a part of me at the early age of 15. I began working out in my parent’s garage, as soon as I started seeing the results in my physique all I wanted was exercise equipment. I started learning the science of training & nutrition, & what worked through studying many courses, applying the knowledge, hard training, dedication, consistency, and to have the determination to have the success in everything I put my mind to.
At the age of 18, I decided to take a vacation with some friends to the beautiful island of Ibiza (Spain), where God sent me a beautiful angel who has been guiding me in my life. In 2000 I immigrated to Seville (Spain), where I competed in my first bodybuilding show, which I placed 1st, becoming the Junior Bodybuilding Champion of Spain.
"Through winning this competition it gave me a hunger for success and it opened many doors. I carried on to pursue my dream of becoming a world renowned fitness star, placing 6th in the I.F.B.B Junior World Championships, and winning many more fitness shows"
"As I matured my mind & body grew with confidence. Each year, I become more knowledgeable and in better condition than the last. In 2005/06 I became the Fitness Model World Champion after winning Model America beating over 90 competitors from around the world, which was held in Hollywood, California. In 2006 I received an unexpected, but very much appreciated sponsor from NAB (northamericanbodies.com), who flew me over to compete in New York, where I became the Winner of Fitness Model Atlantic 2006/07"
On the 20th September 2007 my heart broke into pieces like never before. My father Martin Ashton passed away. The tragic loss of my father gave me more courage and strength than ever to carry on pursuing my dream.
“ Like father like son”
"Being healthy and fit is my life; it keeps my mind and body in harmony, and helps me express myself spiritually. I truly believe that when you open your heart and express yourself spiritually, you can enjoy life to its fullest and achieve what you thought was the impossible"
"I give 110% in everything I do; I love to inspire people who have dreams to be healthy, happy and successful"
