Ashy wore a black sports bra and grey yoga pants, that hugged her toned figure and emphasised her best assets.

Her blonde locks were styled into a long ponytail that hung effortlessly over her shoulders, and flung around as Ashy performed her routine.

Ashy found herself in hot water last month, when she was caught outside her Gold Coast gym parking in a disabled car park.

Following scathing criticism from her own fans, Ashy was forced to apologise and she did so via a Snapchat story, but then attempted to justify her use of the car space.

‘When no one’s used that car park for three years and we have no members with any disabilities, then I do use that car park sometimes,’ she said.

‘They are there 24/7 … yeah, sometimes I do use it.’
