About Kenyele Harrison

Some people find their calling. I chased mine into a Pilates studio, then took it into the streets, the boardrooms, and the botanical gardens of Birmingham, Alabama. I\'m Kenyele Harrison, CEO and founder of Kenetic Wellness (Pilates for Public Health™) — a corporate and community wellness brand built on a belief I call Generational Wellness: what you do for your body today echoes through your family, your team, and your community for generations. I am a Master-Certified Pilates Instructor and Certified Host Advisor with The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado — which means I don\'t just teach Pilates. I train and certify the instructors who teach it. What Kenetic Wellness delivers for organizations: Corporate wellness retainer programs — on-site, hybrid, and outdoor (10–150+ participants) Keynote speaking & wellness presentations for company events and conferences Branded group Pilates experiences and workplace activations Health equity and community wellness programming The proof is in the work: 900+ sessions delivered | 95% client return rate within the first 9 months $8,500 BECOME Grant — Urban Impact Inc. Pitch Competition winner Featured in The Birmingham Times | ABC 33/40 Talk of Alabama | WBRC Fox 6 Featured Presenter — Birmingham Small Business Week @ Railroad Park Programming delivered at Birmingham Museum of Art, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Carver Theatre, CityWalk, Red Mountain Park & Ruffner Mountain Corporate clients include Shipt and UAB Black Alumni Before I was \"the Southern Belle of Wellness,\" I was a corporate girl — client success management, healthcare systems, program operations. I know what it costs your organization when your people aren\'t well. I also know that a wellness poster in the break room doesn\'t fix it. What does? Movement that meets your people where they are. Programming that actually gets used. An instructor who shows up, follows up, and delivers every time. If you\'re an HR leader, Chief People Officer, DEI director, or corporate event planner looking for a wellness partner who brings expertise and culture — let\'s talk.
