I am Dr. Kendra Mayes and I am a native of Fort Worth Texas. I am a personal trainer, nutritional specialist and group fitness leader. I am also the CEO of Kingdom Fitness, INC located in Fort Worth Texas. Our motto is” A Fit Life is a Long Life”. I am also a community partner as I serve as a motivational speaker, life coach, and Blue Zones health and well ambassador.   Additionally, I have been certified in the following fitness formats: Zumba Fitness Zumba Toning R.I.P.P.E.D  .

 My journey reignited after going to the doctor and receiving the news that I had gain 40 pounds over a 10 year period of time and that my blood pressure was elevated to a dangerous level and medicine would be necessary to regulate it. I was terrified. The doctor asked me one question…..what’s got you STRESSED. At this time I was working demanding hours in corporate America, pursuing a doctoral degree, and heavily engaged in ministry. I had seemly allowed my fitness regime to diminish over 4 years while in school.  The conversations with my physician reignited my fire to WORKOUT and monitor my food intake.  I started the metamorphosis process that day!  Since, I was no stranger to fitness and the principals of healthy living, I simply refocused and went back to the basics! I did not want to be on blood pressure medication, so improving my quality of life through maintaining a healthy diet and getting reacquainted with my fitness regimen was no longer an option.  Not to mention graduating with my doctoral degree, I wanted to be in the best shape of my life! I believe in the slim slow process, no binge diets or gimmicks my weight loss process took a total of 2 years. I have maintained the weight loss for 10 years. 

I will advise any person seeking to lose weight to find a program that they not only like but also has a built in support system. Having support forges accountability, new friendships, and fitness camaraderie which are invaluable.  Starting and maintaining a health and wellness journey is not a race it’s a journey which doesn’t require perfection but progress.
