INTRODUCING:

Movement Made for You

Calling all Fitness Misfits!

Do you feel out of place in traditional gyms?
Struggle with chronic pain or fear of injury?
Hate the thought of another cookie-cutter workout?

Then Movement Made for You is exactly what you’ve been searching for!

Find Your Strength, Your Way

You’re not alone if you feel like traditional exercise programs just don’t work for you!

Whether it’s due to past fitness experiences, your current ability level, your size, or because you live with chronic illness, pain or mobility limitations – “Movement Made for You” is here to help you reclaim your right to move in a way that feels good for you and your body.

➡ The Fitness Industry is Leaving People Behind

The point of movement is to feel and function the best we can, so we can live our fullest life.

And yet, time and time again, the people who need this the most are made to feel like they don’t belong in fitness environments through:

“No pain, no gain” messaging
Body shaming and weight stigma
Inaccessible spaces and equipment
Lack of safe and comfortable movement options

It’s no wonder you fear injury, feel embarrassed and uncomfortable and struggle with motivation and consistency.

Traditional fitness programs cater to people who are already fit.

Most fitness instructors and personal trainers have no idea what it’s like to not be fit and athletic, never mind to struggle with chronic pain, injury or exercise related trauma.

I know firsthand how discouraging it can be when fitness spaces don’t feel welcoming or accessible. That’s why I’m committed to creating a program that celebrates your unique journey and meets you exactly where you are.

Here’s the thing I need you to know:

Exercise isn’t for everybody… But EVERY body is made to MOVE.

You have a right to experience all the amazing physical and mental health benefits that come from a regular movement practice.



Increased strength, mobility and stamina



Better energy, mood and sleep



Improved focus, patience and memory



Improved heart health, brain function and bone density



And so much more!

…. But so often, people miss out on all these amazing benefits because most fitness programs don’t take your unique needs into consideration.

There ARE ways to move that will work for your body, feel good and move you forward towards your goals.

Imagine a life where you move with confidence, feel strong in your body, and embrace every adventure without hesitation.

Movement Made for You is designed to make that your reality.

This is more than just fitness.

“Movement Made for You” isn’t just another cookie-cutter workout plan—it’s a personalized journey designed to meet you and your body exactly where you are.

As a size inclusive personal trainer, I believe in celebrating every body and every level of ability. My mission is to help you find strength, confidence, and joy in movement, free from judgment, pain or pressure.

When we work together, I’ll take the time to understand you and your body on a deep level. We’ll chat about your physical AND mental struggles with exercise, why it’s important to you to get moving more, and also how your past experiences with fitness and body image have impacted how you feel about exercise.

Then I’ll get to work creating a customized program specific to your needs, abilities, goals AND preferences…. In other words, if you hate weight lifting, you won’t see dumbbells in your plan.

As your coach, I’ll be with you every step of the way!

Whether you choose virtual (app based) coaching or real time training, you’ll never feel alone. We’ll check in regularly and talk about what’s working and what’s not. I’ll adjust your program as needed and also provide thought provoking reflection prompts to help you through any motivation struggles.

See what's included

You’re Safe Here.

Your physical, emotional and mental safety is my number one priority!



My services are completely weight neutral and size inclusive

You’ll never be weighed or measured and I’ll never make comments about the size or shape of your body. The only time we’ll talk about body parts is in reference to form or function.



You're the boss of your body

I’ll make suggestions about weight to lift, rep ranges, intensity, etc., but I’ll never force you to go heavier or get one more rep. You decide what’s appropriate for you and your body. If a movement hurts, stop!



I trust you to choose what’s right for you

I’ll teach you how to tune into your body to know when you should go for it, modify, or take a day off. You never owe me an explanation if you skip a workout. Rest is self care too – honour your need for it!

Hey gorgeous! I’m Kim.

Certified Size Inclusive Personal Trainer, Non-Diet Nutritionist and Body Acceptance Coach

I’m a bit of a fitness misfit myself.

I was the kid who got picked last for all the sports teams – so a career in fitness is the last thing anyone would have expected for me.

I discovered fitness in my 30’s and for the first time in my life felt strong, empowered and proud of what my body could do. Unfortunately what started out as a healthy habit, quickly turned into a disordered obsession – after all, I was taught in my personal training course that “my body is my business card”.

I’ve since recovered and redefined my relationship with exercise as a form of self care… rather than a form of punishment purely to shrink my body.

And now, as a person who lives with chronic illness and pain, I understand all too well how the typical approach to fitness simply doesn’t work for people like us.

As a Size Inclusive Fitness Specialist and Certified Body Image Coach, I’m on a mission to make the real benefits of movement available to all people – regardless of size or ability.

I believe that our bodies are meant to move and that there’s a type of movement for every body, and that by switching our focus from body shaping to self-care, we can all become joyful movers.

Meet some of the people I have worked with:

Kimberly had extensive experience with exercise but followed a “no pain, no gain” approach, often pushing herself to the point of injury. After stepping away, she sought a more sustainable and body-respecting movement practice but felt resistance to exercise. Together, we worked to rebuild trust between her and her body through embodied movement practices, focusing on consent and tuning into her body’s needs. Now, Kimberly enjoys increased core strength, improved endurance, and the ability to work out consistently on her own, without always needing a trainer.

When I met Courtney, she was recovering from a medical issue that had weakened her strength and affected her balance, leaving her feeling unsafe returning to group fitness. We focused on low-impact movements that gradually built her strength, while ensuring her balance was safely challenged. Six months later, Courtney confidently participates in group fitness classes, knowing how to modify to suit her abilities. Courtney shared, “Kim always meets you where you’re at and doesn’t hesitate to modify. You can tell her what your body needs.”

Jane had both knees and hips replaced and was using a cane to walk short distances, with limited core and upper body strength. She was afraid of falling and not being able to get back up. Her goals were to improve overall conditioning, walk without a cane, and get up and down off the floor. We began with chair workouts, progressing to wall support, and eventually moving freely with full-body movements. After two months, Jane was walking and doing stairs without a cane, and by four months, she could get up off the floor using an inchworm plank.

Happy clients say:

I have been working with Kim for a while now, and my body is much stronger, I have more energy, and I am sleeping better. My neck and back pain has significantly decreased and I have gained flexibility that I haven’t had in years. Kim’s coaching has been incredibly beneficial to remind me that my body is a good body regardless of my size. I can now choose what is right for me in any moment instead of feeling bad for not doing enough. – Lisa M, Goderich ON

Kim meets you where you are at and where you want to go. She can provide accommodations for injuries or movements that don’t feel good. She feels like a friend and makes you feel comfortable. You will feel better about yourself after working out with Kim. She helps you to see the progress you are making towards your goals. – Kelly K, Burlington ON

Before working with Kim I was struggling with overall movement. We started doing exercises sitting in a chair. Walking with a cane for the better part of 8 years I also lacked the confidence in my body to move without aid. During coaching I realized that I didn’t have to be skinny to get down and up from the floor. I’ve learned that my body is meant to move and that exercise can be fun when given the proper instruction. I now walk without a cane for support, can climb stairs and have the stamina to carry out my daily tasks. – Jane L, Clinton ON

Before working with Kim, I was struggling with body image, sore back and knees. I started working with Kim and although it was challenging, I loved it. About 6 weeks in my back was getting better. I was working on my core strength. I realized I could do this, not fail like every other program I tried. As a result I’m spending less money at the chiropractor. I have accepted myself and my body for what they are. I no longer worry about trying to have that perfect body and don’t worry what other people think. – Brenda S. Goderich ON

FAQs

With the virtual program, can I complete my workouts at home, or do I need to join a gym?

You pick! I’ll work with whatever you’re most comfortable with. I can even send you ideas for outdoors or at your desk at work!

Do I need to have a bunch of fitness equipment at home?

Nope! We’ll work with what you have, and can even make use of common household items like books, laundry baskets and cans. If I feel like certain equipment will benefit you, I’ll make recommendations while considering your budget and space available.

What happens if I miss a scheduled session?

I’ll never rap your knuckles if you skip a session. I trust you to decide when you need to rest.
For real time personal training sessions, we allow 2 reschedules per month without penalty.
For virtual programs, you can move your sessions around in the app, or split them into pieces – there’s lots of ways to customize my recommendations to fit your life and to listen to your body. If you’re struggling with motivation to move and are missing multiple sessions, I’ll inquire if everything is ok and offer mindset coaching.

Do I need a personal trainer or a body acceptance coach?

This is a great question! And to tell you the truth, many of the women who come to me thinking they want a personal trainer actually end up hiring me for coaching.

If you struggle with:

motivation and consistency with exercise
being all or nothing and are tired of starting and stopping
feeling like exercise is torture, or something that you “should do” to lose weight or tone up
using exercise as a way to earn or burn food
feeling like everything in your life would be better if you could just drop 20 lbs

—- then my friend, BODY ACCEPTANCE COACHING is the best fit for you!

These struggles won’t be solved by having me “whip you into shape”.

Doing so will only end you back in the same place, unless you dig into the root of the issue…. how you THINK about exercise, your body and yourself.

My coaching clients have found lasting motivation, joyful movement, body acceptance, food freedom and confidence like they never imagined.

On the other hand if you want to:

get stronger
improve your flexibility, mobility and stamina
learn how to move effectively with the abilities and limitations you have
rehabilitate after an injury
train for an event or support your athletic training with targeted cross training
feel and function the best you can in your now body

—– then personal training would be a great fit, and I’d love to work with you!

What if I really, like really, hate anything that resembles exercise?

You’re so not alone; this is quite common especially if you have a history of using exercise as a punishment for eating or to burn calories. For many of my clients, when they’re starting out, their program doesn’t include any sort of traditional exercise. We focus more on stretching, mobility, and gentle movement. It requires a bit of patience, but the goal initially is to create a new relationship with movement where you learn to be attuned to your body’s needs and using movement as a way to feel better (not change your appearance). This rebuilds a sense of trust that movement is safe and eventually, you’ll feel ready to add in more traditional types of exercise.
