Body Positive Group Fitness Training in Goderich, ON
Most gyms want you to change your body. We want you to feel at home in it.
Our group fitness classes give you a safe, effective, well-rounded workout in a judgement-free space. You will never hear “sculpt this” or “burn that” here. We talk about bodies only when we talk about form, function and how an exercise should feel. We encourage you to connect with your deeper why and notice how movement helps you feel and function your best.
We cap every class at 8 people, we meet you where you are, and we welcome beginners, seniors, injured bodies and anyone who has ever felt like the odd one out at the gym.
Classes are held live, in person at our private studio located at 44 East Street, Goderich ON
Class size is limited to 8 people.
Home Based Options Available
Group Fitness Training Built for Fitness Misfits
If mainstream fitness culture never made room for you, welcome. Our group fitness training serves the people the industry forgot: women over 40, folks with chronic pain or old injuries, beginners who feel nervous about walking into a gym, and anyone tired of workouts that feel like punishment.
Every class is:
- Beginner and senior friendly. You don’t need experience, a fitness level or a "before" anything.
- Injury conscious. We offer modifications for every exercise, so you can choose what works for your body.
- Weight neutral. We don’t track, compare or comment on weight. Ever.
- Low impact. We build strength and stamina without pounding your joints.
- Inclusive. All bodies are good bodies. We mean it.
- Small. With 8 people per class, Kim knows your name, your goals and your tricky knee.
Our Group Training Classes in Goderich
We offer three group fitness classes, so you can choose what suits your body, your schedule and your mood. Each one welcomes beginners and offers modifications for every exercise.
Women with Weights
Mondays, 9 to 9:45 am
Strength training builds the kind of capable, steady body that makes daily life easier. In this class, you learn to lift with good form, build strength at your own pace and leave feeling strong instead of wrecked. Kim shows you options for every exercise, so you pick the version that works for you.
Functional fitness
Wednesdays, 6 to 6:45 pm
Build the full-body strength you use in real life, like carrying groceries, climbing stairs and getting up off the floor. This class uses TRX straps and weights to train your whole body to work together. TRX straps let you make any move easier or harder just by changing your body position, so every person in the room can work at the right level for them.
Free Bonus Class: Slow Flow Yoga
Saturday Nov. 14 and Dec. 5: 9 to 9:45 am
**Free for all registered class members**
Slow down, breathe and give your body a treat. These free bonus yoga sessions link gentle poses with your breath at an easy pace, so you stretch, release tension and move in ways that feel good. You don’t need yoga experience or flexibility, and we offer options for every pose.
Class Schedule and Registration
Our current class schedule runs until the end of October.
We hold all classes live and in person at our private studio at 44 East Street, Goderich, ON. We limit every class to 8 people, so spots fill up. Register early to save yours.
Class times don’t work for you? We have several home-based strength training programs you can do on your own schedule.
What to Expect at Your First Group Fitness Class
Walking into a new class takes courage, so here’s exactly what happens:
- You arrive and Kim greets you. You never have to guess where to stand or what to do.
- We warm up together. We start gently and get your body ready to move.
- We work through the main workout. Kim demonstrates each exercise and offers options, so you choose the version that feels right.
- We cool down. You leave feeling better than when you arrived.
Nobody watches you. Nobody compares. Nobody tells you to push through pain. Our rule is simple: no pain. That’s it. We also live by "all or something," which means a short, modified or gentle workout still counts.
Why Small Group Fitness Training Works Better
Big-box classes put you in a room of 30 strangers and a loud playlist. Our small group format works differently:
- You get real coaching. Kim sees your form and adjusts your exercises on the spot.
- You get community. You build friendships with people who understand why you are here.
- You get accountability without pressure. People notice when you show up, and they cheer for you when you do.
- You stay safer. Personal attention means fewer mistakes and more confidence.

Meet Your Coach
I’m Kim Hagle, Founder of Radiant Vitality
Certified Personal Trainer, Size Inclusive Fitness Specialist and Certified Health and Life Coach specializing in body image.
I spent years watching women shrink themselves, physically and emotionally, in the name of fitness. As a certified personal trainer with a background in nursing and over 20 years in health and wellness, I knew there had to be a better way.
That’s why I built Radiant Vitality: a practice rooted in the belief that every body is a good body, and every body deserves to experience the joy of movement, without shame, pain or punishment.
I coach every group fitness class myself. I know your name, I watch your form and I adjust each exercise to fit your body. You choose how hard you work, and you never have to explain why.

Group Fitness Classes FAQ
Do I need to be fit to join your group training classes?
No. We build classes for beginners and welcome every fitness level. You show up as you are, and we meet you there.
Are your classes suitable for seniors or people with injuries?
Yes. We design classes to be senior friendly and injury conscious, with modifications for every exercise. Tell Kim about any injuries or health concerns before class so she can support you. If you’re unsure whether a class suits you, check with your health care provider first.
Will anyone talk about weight, diets or "problem areas"?
Never. We don’t do weight talk, diet talk or before-and-after culture. We talk about how movement feels and what your body can do.
How big are your classes?
We limit every class to 8 people.
Where do classes happen?
We hold all classes live and in person at our private studio at 44 East Street, Goderich, ON.
What should I bring?
Just yourself, comfy clothes and a water bottle. We’ve got all the equipment.
Are your classes only for women?
Yes. In order to create an environment where women feel safe to fully be themselves, our group training classes are for people who identify as women only. Men are welcome to apply for personal training or take our home-based programs.
