About The Mind.Body.Soul Team

Ashanti J - Owner

Mental Fitness Expert Ashanti Johnson founded 360.Mind.Body.Soul in 2010 for those ready for a mental and physical change. This group fitness gym offers 3 fitness floors, including a barre, cycle, and functional training studio with over ten certified fitness Instructors.

Ashanti herself battled weight gain throughout her teens and 20s, and noticed a key pattern that her weight gain was a side effect of her stress level & emotionality. Once she began to acknowledge her inner turmoil, connecting her mind to her body and building her spiritual connection, the weight fell off with little effort.

She got certified in 2005 in Group Fitness and Personal Training through the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), National Academy of Sports Medicine, as well as Senior Fitness & Pound. Over the years, she began to teach everything from kickboxing to meditation. She realized through her own story that getting fit has as much to do with diet and exercise as self-love and "mental fitness." She began doing mental fitness workshops in addition to fitness classes and meal plans; the results have led to over 50,000 pounds lost in the past 10 years.

Ashanti did a Tedx Talk about the Power of Visualization and how we can manifest our visions through mental fitness. She continues to speak and teach about the mind, body, soul connection online and in-person monthly.
