About usI would like to introduce the people behind Kinisi Apparel and how we got here. Hi, My name is Rayan Marhamo Tavarez Founder and CEO of Kinisi Apparel I am also a mom, a college graduate, and a fitness lover. I created Kinisi Apparel shortly after I fell in love with fitness and healthy living. I decided it was time to create my own products simply because I couldn't find exactly what I wanted on the market. Kinisi Apparel has plans to expand its products and make a variety of different fitness accessories and athleisure wear.
My story
My Fitness journey was no walk in the park. In my senior year of highschool, I got obsessed with trying to look skinny so I started taking laxative supplements that I thought would make me skinny and I'd limit myself to two meals a day.. I soon realized I came to the point where I had an unhealthy relationship with my body, the gym and my diet. So I started binge eating junk food in a way, stress eating. Again I had fallen into the trap of having an unhealthy relationship with food. In the year 2016, I was introduced to a different side of life I never knew existed, I realized how important it is to take care of yourself mentally and physically. I slowly began to go to the gym. Soon after that I started a certain acne medication that made me gain a lot of weight, then I got pregnant. By the end of my pregnancy I was 200 lbs. I had my baby boy in July 2019, I lost all my baby weight (50lbs) in about two months, but my body has completely changed, I had loose skin everywhere. At my 6 week checkup I got diagnosed with Postpartum Depression. I felt so alone, and unhappy with the way I looked. I started going to the gym once a week but I continued to hate my body. Fast forward to January 2020, I was done feeling bad about how my body looked. so I changed my lifestyle. Once I found a reputable gym that I trust with the care of my son I was able to confidently dive deeper into fitness. Then COVID-19 hit. I was unemployed and stuck at home during this global pandemic. I felt so defeated , living at my dad's house with my baby. That's when I started working out as an outlet and I ever since then my passion for fitness and health has become now a lifestyle. The gym helped me realize how important it is to love yourself and put yourself first. Here we are January 2021, launching my own company of fitness accessories and athleisure apparel.
