Greetings!
The Creation Story: How we came to be! Our Mythic Quest
In a faraway land, out of the Abyss, it appeared and we became… Abyss Athletics…
Just Kidding…
Ashley and Andrew are a couple that hails from the greatest State in the USA, New Jersey. They both come from fitness and sports backgrounds. Andrew is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Ashley has a background in textiles and merchandising and is also pursuing her degree in nutrition. When it came down to fitness wear, we, well mostly Ashley, had noticed the quality and feel of women’s leggings were not where they could be and too much was left on the table.
With Ashley’s textile and merchandising expertise, Andrew’s functional movement knowledge, and both of their fitness experience, they came across a great design (with many to come) that hits on fashion, function, and form of the human being.
They both came across this idea after a few instances at the gym and noticed that the leggings Ashley had were all so different and each with their oddities. One in particular was the trending scrunch butt. After a deep and heavy squat, the scrunch butt ripped open and Ashley was left with a regular expensive pair of leggings with a hole.
We then realized the quality, form, and function of the product were lacking. This and many other occasions led to the product you are holding in your hand today. We want to deliver to you something that you feel good in and look good in, either working out or hanging out, while providing something that moves with you. We hope you enjoy and if you have any questions, comments, concerns or product ideas or critiques, we would love to hear from you!
-Welcome to the Abyss, Ash and Andy =) Enjoy!
P.S. As we continue to grow, we look to expand our line to use recycled material and donate profits to clean up our oceans so we don’t enter the Abyss as a Planet!

Ashley Kosenski
Ashley has been entrenched in the world of fitness, fashion, and nutrition for years. She has her associate’s degree in Fashion Merchandising from Brookdale College. Where she partook in many fashion shows, designs, and outreach programs. Ashley has been training in the gym for years and has always loved helping others reach their goals physically, through exercising and nutrition. So much so, that she is currently pursuing her degree in health sciences to become a Registered Dietitian at Monmouth University. It is safe to say that Ashley is a fitness buff and has a great eye for fashion. She loves gym clothes and wanted to create a pair of leggings that she could wear every day that make her feel and look great! But she needed someone with tech-savvy knowledge and a love for health and fitness, that is where Andrew was needed.
Andrew Goelz
Andrew is also a fitness enthusiast willing and wanting to try all sports and activities. He is currently a physical therapist with experience treating a plethora of diagnoses, clients, and patients, but particularly loves to treat athletes. Andrew is an athlete who ran collegiately for Lebanon Valley College in Annville, PA. Where he was a national qualifier for the 1500m run in track and field. He had completed his undergraduate degree in health sciences and obtained his doctorate in physical therapy there as well. Andrew has always looked for improvements in the human body and loves to push himself mentally and physically to reach new limits. He decided to thrust himself into the world of sports performance clothing but needed some expertise and guidance, and that is where Ashley came in.
Be the BEST you!
