Fit Farm Nashville

Kristin Intress is the owner and founder of Fit Farm. As a hospitality industry expert with entrepreneurial acumen, she has served in multiple sales and marketing executive positions as well as creating a successful restaurant business. Before founding Fit Farm, she was CEO of Worldhotels, a global hotel sales and marketing group of 500 luxury hotels. Prior to this, she was President and CEO of InnLink LLC, a leading technology provider to over 7,000 independent hotels worldwide. Kris, as her friends call her, enjoys time on the farm with her husband Pat and Tucker, Fit Farm's doggie mascot.

Pat, Kris's partner in crime, is the ultimate farm hand. They met when they were both just 6 years old, bailing hay on the farm. Pat went on to be an Army Ranger and sniper, traveling the world with the military. His hands-on approach to life is still very apparent in his role as master carpenter, plumber, and fixer of everything at Fit Farm.

She exemplifies “work hard, play hard” every day.

Allison is a Johnson City, TN native, which explains her obsession with “Wagon Wheel”. After graduating college, the fitness world took her to the Lowcountry where she grew to celebrate creative outlets for exercise and fun ways to stay active including instructing paddle-board yoga, AirDrum workouts, yo-qua, and cycling. When she’s not shamelessly dancing around Fit Farm, she’s hanging out with her dog Maverick (who likes to sleep more than exercise). Allison also enjoys hiking, crafting, and wearing crazy socks.
