Body Positive Personal Training and Body Image Coaching for Women Over 40

A Safe, Inclusive Space where Fitness Misfits Belong

Finally feel  strong, confident, and at peace in your body, no matter how much you hate the gym.

You Deserve Better Than What the Fitness Industry Has Offered You

You’ve started over more times than you can count. You’ve been told to push harder, eat less, shrink yourself down — and still felt like you were failing. Traditional gyms weren’t built for you. Neither were those 12-week transformation programs.

At Radiant Vitality, we do things differently.

You’re in the right place if:

  • Fitness has always felt like punishment, not something you could actually enjoy
  • Chronic pain, injury, or illness makes “just work out harder” advice useless
  • You’re over 40 and exhausted by programs that ignore how your body has changed
  • The gym feels more like a place of judgment than a place of support
  • You want to feel good — but you’re done chasing a number on the scale

 

Welcome to Radiant Vitality — a safe, size-inclusive space where fitness misfits belong.

Whether you’re in Goderich, ON or connecting online from anywhere, this is where you move on your terms, in the body you have right now.

Body Positive Coaching That Starts With How You Feel, Not How You Look

7

At Radiant Vitality, true health isn’t defined by a dress size or a BMI — it’s the energy to live your life fully, the strength to do what you love, and a relationship with your body built on respect instead of resentment.

As a certified body positive personal trainer and body image coach with over 20 years in health and wellness, I bring something you won’t find in mainstream fitness: an approach that holds space for all of you — your history, your limitations, your body, and your worth.

Break Free from Diet Culture

Through integrated body image coaching, we’ll dismantle the food rules, the guilt, and the punishing inner voice — so you can become your own health authority.

Build Strength Without "No Pain, No Gain"

My weight-neutral approach to body positive personal training focuses on what your body can do — not what it looks like doing it. Safe, progressive, and built around you.

Find Movement You Actually Look Forward To

All bodies deserve the life-changing benefits of movement. We’ll find what feels good in your body — and that makes all the difference.

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 serve women in Goderich and across Canada who are done with diet culture and ready to feel strong, capable, and at home in their bodies.
