Lake Travis Local: Meet Karen Killough of Oh Baby! Fitness Austin

Written by Todd Hower | February 5, 2015

Oh Baby! Fitness is a 10 year overnight success that launched with discussions around a dinner table. The company that started back in 2005 decided to break the mold of the traditional brick-and-mortar gym franchise model and go with a training, licensing and Internet support model.

Oh Baby! Fitness has quickly expanded into 15 states — which includes Texas — and has hopes of offering classes in all 50 states by the end of 2015.

Lake Travis Lifestyle had a chance to catch up with Karen Killough, a Lakeway instructor and owner of the Austin branch of Oh Baby! Fitness. We sat down to learn a few things about Karen and how Oh Baby! Fitness got started, what it’s like doing business in a community like Lake Travis, and what advice she has for others who have an idea they want to float into the entrepreneurial waters of our great town.
