Krissy Cela

Founder and CBO, EvolveYou and Oner Active, UK

Krissy Cela oversees a successful female-focused empire of her own creation in the fitness and technology spaces.

At 24, she co-founded female-focused fitness and nutrition app EvolveYou (www.evolveyou.app) and at 25, she launched gym wear brand Oner Active (www.oneractive.com). Both are multimillion-dollar brands that have collectively generated over $90m USD of revenue within the past 3 years.

Krissy arrived in England as an immigrant from Albania, at the age of four years old with her family. At the age of 18, she began university in London studying law, while working as a waitress to pay for her education. Whilst at university, Krissy embarked on her fitness journey, sharing her progress online with no direct goal in mind, other than for her own health and to keep herself accountable. She struck a chord with thousands, and soon realised there was a gap in accessible information surrounding strength training for women. Her community exponentially grew from this point.

In 2019, Krissy and her co-founder Jack Bullimore launched the hugely popular fitness and nutrition app: EvolveYou (formerly known as Tone & Sculpt). Less than four years later and without any external investment, the app now boasts 86,000 monthly active subscribers from across the globe, and seven world-class female trainers based in the USA, CA and UK.

Following this successful launch, Krissy expanded her fitness empire to include apparel, launching her gym wear brand Oner Active, as a joint venture partnership, with the first collection selling out in minutes. Meaning “to be extraordinary,” Oner Active is a global strength training brand, designed to elevate and support women to feel confident in and out of the gym.

Krissy has become a beacon of female empowerment, offering unwavering support to women worldwide, helping them realise their potential, achieve their dreams, and make the impossible possible.
