Ashley Kalym got the fitness bug at a very young age, playing rugby from age 8 to 18 at school and in local and junior professional clubs. He received a degree in biology with forensics and, after university, began training for the Royal Marines. It was during this time that he was introduced to the value of bodyweight exercise, eventually training to become a personal trainer and pursuing a career in calisthenics and bodyweight training.
