Meet the Staff
Kellye Stellman: Personal trainer, gym owner.
Kellye is a Master Personal Trainer and a Certified Life coach. In 2013 Kellye opened KPF in Covington Ga after working 2 years as a personal trainer at another gym. The first KPF facility was only 1300 sq ft. Within the first year of opening KPF had already outgrown the small space and KPF moved into its current 4000 sq ft location. The first few years Kellye concentrated on small group exercise but took on many clients with special needs including Friedreich’s Ataxia, a gentleman paralyzed in a wheel chair, a woman shot in a domestic dispute, a client with cerebral palsy, a gentleman with major limb birth defects, and clients who have suffered from strokes. These are all in addition to the thousands of clients who have walked through KPF’s doors. Because of the growth and the impact KPF has had on the community, Kellye is now pursuing an expansion. Kellye has multiple projects in expanding her outreach. Kellye and her husband Keith reside in Covington Ga with their 7 kids and 4 grandkids. In their spare time, Kellye and Keith enjoy traveling and spending time with their large family. Faith and worship are both important Kellye and Keith.
Audra
Audra joined KPF eight years ago, not as a trainer but as a client. She fell in love with working out-it actually became an addiction. Kellye believed in Audra so she wanted her to come on board as a trainer at KPF. She has been by Kellye’s side ever since. Now Audra has 7 year of training experience. The thing she loves most about training is being able to see clients lives change. She loves that she gets to help them accomplish things that they never thought they would be able to do. Audra is 48 years old, happily married, and has 3 children and 8 grandchildren. In her spare time she loves to spend time with her family.

Tab always worked out at home and had never tried group exercise until she started at KPF. She only focused on being in shape and never on the strength aspect. She became licensed to train early on in 2020 and has since been able to share her passion of exercise with KPF’s clients as a trainer. Tab is 43 years old and has 2 children. Her favorite color is green and her favorite food is Italian!

She believes everyone deserves the right to be in good health and to be happy inside and out.In her spare time Chelsie loves to relax and stay in and sometimes enjoys kayaking, friends, shopping, refinishing furniture and anything artsy.

When she found KPF 2 years ago she found her home away from home. Jhie loves helping people reach their goals and she is a sucker for weight training!

Phyllis
Phylliss is 37 years old. She came to KPF in 2021 looking for a new health hobby that would help me get in shape and drop a few pounds. She had no idea that it would change her life and lead her down the path to be a personal trainer herself. She joined KPF’s team in 2023 when she felt God calling her to step out of her comfort zone and do something that would cause positive changes and break terrible chains of bad habits in her life but in others lives too. She got her certification so that she could help people have a better, happier, healthier lifestyles and lift others up. Phyllis is a mom of 2 and recently married the love of her life. In her free time she likes to sit on her porch and read her books and binge watch her favorite shows. Her favorite cheat snack is ice cream and her favorite color is green and she loves the outdoors.
