Today we’d like to introduce you to Kae Strain.
Hi Kae, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I began as a passionate fitness practitioner new in town from Atlanta, Ga. I was determined to start my own fitness business here in the DFW.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It definitely has not been a smooth road. Every obstacle possible arose. I was a single mother in a brand-new town where I had zero acquaintances. Not to mention, fitness is a male-dominated business. It’s tough for a woman to break through. Unless the woman is willing to go the route of showing excess skin and sexualizing the fitness. I was never willing to do either of those things.
As you know, we’re big fans of Fit Beauty. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Fit Beauty is what I created as the way to best represent what fitness made me. It changed my life and left an individual who is fit, feminine, and fierce. A woman whose femininity and beauty are apparent. But she doesn’t have to rely on it for respect. Her presence commands the attention of the room. Her performance is to be envied. But it’s not because she shares it freely and passionately with all who want to benefit.
Fit Beauty encompasses several brands:
Spin Fam- the always-growing fitness community founded and lead by Kae that originated from high-energy choreographed indoor cycling classes based in Oak Cliff.
Fit Foods- a nutrition business with emphasis on sports and body composition management. Healthy lifestyle and nutrition coaching are offered. Meal plans and prep as well.
Beauty -N- Tees- a t-shirt and merch online marketplace
What sets Fit Beauty apart is that it is founded and operated with the community that it serves in mind! The south Dallas oak cliff area is our home and the community we want to never abandon no matter how far we go.
I am most proud that I stepped foot in Dallas as an individual with no one and have now built a community of like-minded individuals who are also serving our community in their own right.
As far as my offerings, I think I already listed my services. I will expand a bit by stating that my business’s main service is a very effective and science-based weight loss and body transformation program. I specialize in quick transformations for clients by offering hybrid nutrition and workout plans designed for quick and lasting results.
I have recently stepped into the event preparation industry with a partnership with a gym that trains brides to look their best for their weddings. Once I started doing that, I realized that weddings are not the only events for which men/women want to look their best. There are reunions, graduations, anniversaries, etc. So, I have added a service for any individual who has a specific goal with a measurable time frame. My Fit beauty team is prepared and excited to assist. It is a concierge-type business. So, we are equipped for all needs.
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
Growing up, I was the youngest of three. So, I spent a lot of time alone. I read a lot and was a high achiever in academics. I became a teenage mother. So, that forced me to change directions. But all is well that ends well. My personality has always been that of a tough girl! My father calls me a “hard ass.” It’s mainly because I am a perfectionist. Very type A. But I will give the shirt off my back to a stranger.
