Outside of Detective B & Parker's Promise Foundation, I'm a published weight loss expert & personal trainer with 17 years personal experience & 6 years of working with clients {1 year group fitness classes & 5 years as the CEO of my virtual coaching company, Ashley Korff Fitness LLC). I transformed my life in 2008 from sugar addiction & have maintained my healthy lifestyle & 50-pound weight loss for the past 17 years without diets, skipping meals, or surgery, thru the good, bad, & flat-up ugly of life. My coaching program Diet Killer has won awards for two years in a row, I've coached clients worldwide, & I've been featured in publications such as Bold Journey Magazine, Cubicle To CEO, MAXIM, & more. There would be no Detective B & no Parker's Promise Foundation if I hadn't gotten my shit together. It was actually a graphic I created for my fitness program that inspired Detective B: the program is murder mystery themed & is like a fitness app & true crime Netflix show had a baby. So I created a graphic that was me in my workout gear & Bambi in a little detective hat & magnifying glass…it was that design that then I was like, “oh damn, this would be a really cute book idea!” And the rest is history haha. You can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, LinkedIn, Tiktok, & Pinterest & here's my website: linktr.ee/ashleykorff/store
