Hidden Gems: Meet Katie & Kevin Andres of K Squared Fitness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Katie & Kevin Andres.

Kevin has been in the Fitness Industry for 10+ years. During that time, he was named the Fittest Man in Nashville in 2018, played professional basketball in the ABA, and has worked with tons of great individuals, including NFL Athletes, Musicians, and High End Executives.

Katie graduated from The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a degree in Health and Physical Education and earned her Nutrition Coaching Certification.

We met while both working at a gym in Franklin, TN. Kevin was a personal trainer and Katie was teaching kids fitness classes. Early into dating, we joked about having a fitness business and calling it K Squared Fitness (since both our names start with a “K”). Fast forward to April of 2020, Covid 19 hit and pushed us into launching our fitness business for real! Kevin had created multiple workout programs and we were waiting for the right time to go off on our own and really start K Squared Fitness. We definitely never thought it would be in the middle of a pandemic, but it was truly a blessing in disguise for us! We took a bad situation, worked hard, and made something great out of it!

Now we offer two different programs – one for the Everyday Fitness person and one for the Crossfit Athlete. Both programs include multiple fitness programs within them, such as running, gymnastics, olympic lifting, and much more!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
There is no smooth road when it comes to starting and owning your own business. We are constantly learning, adjusting, pivoting, finding ways to make the process better for our members, and so much more. We work on something every day of the week and there have been countless late nights and early mornings.

On top of that, it can be very challenging to work with your spouse. It took us about a year to really find a good system for us to work together! The key, for us, is to be open-minded, have open communication, and find out how we work best. It’s very humbling at times and takes lots of trial and error, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything!

Owning your own business isn’t easy, but it’s worth it when we see our members crush their goals & get the results they’ve worked hard for. That means the world to us.

As you know, we’re big fans of K Squared Fitness. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
We are an online fitness business providing workout programs to Everyday Fitness people and Crossfit Athletes. We’ve coached NFL Athletes, High End Executives, Musicians, and many others in their fitness journey.

We’ll let a couple of our clients tell you what sets us apart:

“Kevin’s attention to detail and his knowledge of the body are what sets his program apart from all others out there!” – Daren Bates (NFL Athlete)

“K Squared Fitness brought my training to the next level. I dedicated my 2020 off season to K Squared’s program, and my results were incredible. I entered the season the fittest I had ever been and that translated on the field.” – Daquan Jones (NFL Athlete)

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
We practice what we preach and not everyone in the Fitness Industry does that. We encourage each member to find their “Why” behind their training and keep that in the front of their mind during their fitness journey.
