Today we’d like to introduce you to Karmen Orr.
Hi Karmen, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Back in June 2015, my husband was in a hit-and-run car accident that left him facing paralysis. During that shift in our lives, I became depressed and gained a substantial amount of weight. An embarrassing photo taken of me on Instagram being at my highest weight EVER put me in the game. I started changing my family’s diet & and choosing to eat healthier as a whole. I started out with small session workouts for 3-4 days a week and with God & my family’s support, I was able to start seeing a change in us all. One night we started designing and discussing our company K.Chenelle Fitness LLC and birthed our business in April of 2018. My husband sparked an interest in me one day in the car to become a fitness trainer. After hyping me up and calling the company I enrolled. Currently, I am a Certified Fitness Trainer & a Sports Nutritionist Coach. I’ve lost altogether a total of 100 lbs naturally and throughout my journey I’ve gained 20 lbs back in muscle. I’ve helped dozens of clients lose weight, meets their goals, beat their goals, and we’re steady changing lives everyday. During the pandemic, we created #KC28 Rolls 2 Buns program and it’s been our #1 Hit since.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
We’ve faced many challenges along the way but we’re grateful for the experience during the process. Biggest struggles would be with our products. We pride ourselves on quality of the products and not just making the sale. Throughout our journey, we’ve lost thousands of dollars in inventory due to poor quality, damaged materials, and so much more that we couldn’t put it out to sell. We overcame those situations by understanding that every loss wasn’t a true loss but it comes with the business. The only option is to keep it moving.
As you know, we’re big fans of K.Chenelle Fitness LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?

Who else deserves credit in your story?
My husband supported me from Day 1 and pushed me to where I am now. I’m forever grateful for him & the confidence he had in me. When I slacked, he was right there to remind me why I started. When I wanted to give up, he was right there telling me to push through. My daughter being a mini-me & watching me grow through the business. Telling me she’s proud of me & imitating me coaching clients around the house is inspiring. It definitely shows what type of role model I’m being for her & that’s rewarding. My mother-in-law has been there since Day 1 throwing fitness fundraisers, setting up at pop up shops, sizing customers in her shop, selling & promoting the brand DAILY! Every time I come home she’s in something K.Chenelle Fitness showing how much she believes in the brand. My mom joining my Rolls 2 Buns program and showing up faithfully. Her broadcasting to those around her about her changes and getting them on board. I appreciate her for trying my program & deciding to make the rest of her life the best of her life. To KCGANG/SNATCHGANG for taking a chance on me & sticking by me from Day 1! Every purchase, every class, every shirt, every post, every person that’s supported me on this journey!
