Member Spotlight
The world of professional bodybuilding is interesting and intriguing. It is more than just strong and muscular bodies.

As a matter of fact, there are many hidden aspects of it which include faith, perseverance, and fight. Meet Ana Kelley, an all-American girl with a successful bodybuilding career alongside her husband Harold Kelley. The two of them quickly became the power couple in the world of fitness, but that all changed after a terrible car accident that injured both. Ana and Harold had several fractures, but Harold’s spine left him paralyzed. This year, this dynamic duo opened their doors to their small business: KING KONG Nation Fitness in Irving.

Ana and Harold found healing and peace through the world of exercising. Now it’s time to give back to those that don’t believe, those that have been mistreated, and those that can’t find hope. Together they are building courage & strength to show people that even if you fall, you can get back up and still excel past where you thought you could never go. It's time to stop worrying about what you can’t do and worry about what you can do!

KING KONG Nation Fitness is a personalized, Health and Fitness Company, focused on making it achievable for anyone to embody a healthier lifestyle through great products and excellent services.
