Ash Pryor: Overcoming Invisible Battles and Embracing Fear with Confidence 

The Vault with Dr. Judith logo

Ash Pryor is Peloton’s first Plus Size Instructor. She is a rowing instructor and a passionate advocate for inclusivity in fitness. She’s also the founder of Relentless Rowing Academy, a nonprofit dedicated to breaking down barriers for BIPOC and disabled athletes in rowing. Her journey has been marked by resilience; after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, she faced significant health challenges but remained committed to her fitness goals.

Since joining Peloton in September 2022, Pryor has not only taught rowing but also used her platform to promote body positivity and combat body shaming. She continues to inspire many by showing up unapologetically and encouraging others to embrace their unique journeys.

Listen in as we discuss:

  • Living with an invisible condition
  • Moving with kindness
  • The mind-body connection
  • Showing up as you are
  • Doing things that scare you
  • And much more!
