Meet Keya Willis of Key Core Fitness in Aurora

Today we’d like to introduce you to Keya Willis.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Keya. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I spent 17 yrs as an athlete, with that many people would always come to me ask about losing weight. It wouldn’t be until later that I would recognize the health problems that plagued people of color. I wanted to help. I had a friend who was diagnosed with heart disease. I used to help with her non-profit organization that would help spread the word about women with heart disease. Unfortunately, she passed a few years ago. That was hard for me because I knew that she had made huge progress towards taking care of herself. So, I wanted to continue on and do my part. I wanted to help people live healthier lives. I believe that taking care of ourselves extends far beyond the physical. It means owning the wellness of ourselves spiritually, emotionally and mentally. Some of the best feelings come after completing a workout that challenges you on every level.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has been challenging. I am finally getting starting with it this year. I hit a snag in 2016.  I had no idea that I would spend the next 2 years recovering from some things that had emotionally and mentally altered my life a little bit. The hardest thing for me was to get started.  Not knowing where to start, or even how to start would leave me stuck doing nothing most days. I’ve learned to take things one day at a time.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Key Core Fitness LLC – what should we know?
Key Core Fitness LLC is a company that specializes in fitness training. I am most proud of the people that have trusted me with their fitness goals. I am proud of those have taken charge of their lives and have made the commitment to taking better care of themselves. What sets me apart from others is my personality. I am one of a kind. With me, you are more than just a client.

Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
It helps to have people around you, that will uplift you and encourage you. Starting/running a business is not something that can be done alone. You need support. You need someone you can bounce ideas off of. Also, consistency is important. On those days, when you want to quit, remember why you started. Stay true to your goals and vision. Most importantly, stay in faith.
