Fitness coach and model, Kevin Kreider recalls being bullied for his skinny figure and Asian heritage at a young age.
Kevin now has won several natural bodybuilding competitions, graduated with a degree in exercise science and certified in nutrition.
As a model, Kevin Kreider has been featured in publications such as Men’s Health and Men’s Fitness Magazine and publications internationally.
In 2014, the stress and non-stop nature of his career in the entertainment industry took a toll on his body and Kevin was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata, an auto-immune disease that attacks the hair follicles. In two weeks, he not only lost a majority of his hair, and his modeling career.
The same year, Kevin decided to embark on a soul-searching journey. He grabbed his skateboard and traveled from LA to NYC on his board in hopes that the trip would allow him self-reflection.
It wasn’t until a few years later that Kevin found himself back into the health and wellness industry where he ultimately felt happiest.
