What Clients Are Saying…

  • "As a women’s health doctor, I deeply appreciate Kim’s weight-inclusive, compassionate approach to movement. She understands that fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all and meets each client where they are, providing thoughtful, personalized guidance. Her ability to tailor movement to individual needs—whether working around pain, energy levels, or life demands—sets her apart."

    Dr. Molly — mom, women’s health doctor

  • Kim has been a fantastic coach to have in my corner. In fact, I don’t know where I would be without her. Her coaching style is calm and supportive, which is perfect for me after many years with an unhealthy relationship with exercise and movement. Kim’s expertise in perinatal strength and weight-inclusive coaching is so needed in the fitness industry!

    Ally — mom, former professional dancer, small business owner

  • “I'm so grateful for this. I feel so much better this time around being postpartum. I know a lot of that is because of your programs! I'm stronger and more confident. Your program has given me the tools to know how to strengthen and move my body in all the right ways for the demands of being a postpartum mother of two littles. Thank you!”

Meet Your Coach

Hi, I'm Kimberly.

I bring 15+ years of coaching experience and hold:

  • BS in Exercise & Sport Science (UW-La Crosse)

  • Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (NSCA)

  • Certified Postnatal Fitness Specialist

But more importantly, I know how to coach exercise in a way that feels sustainable and uplifting instead of obsessive and stressful. Exercise can be a tool to improve your life and it truly doesn’t need to feel so complicated. I hope you’ll join us to get stronger, be in community and have a few laughs along the way.

 FAQs

  • No problem – I get it! Life happens. I don’t expect perfect attendance! You can always shift into another session that week / the following week if you’d like to make it up. If you’ll miss over half of the sessions, you can always sign up with the drop in option instead.

  • Absolutely not. The beauty of strength training is you can take very basic, fundamental movements and make them easier or harder with small tweaks, like how slow or quickly you move and how much weight or tension you use. 

    Exercise can be a tool to nourish the body, not deprive or punish it, so this program is generally going to be a bit more “back to basics” and rooted in overall wellness rather than complicated movements that will deplete you.

    If you are someone looking for more chaotic movements, never doing the same thing twice, falling over tired at the end of the workout — this may not be the workout for you.

  • This isn't a traditional fitness class for many reasons.

    • No matching workout sets or “perfect” bodies required!

    • No “bro” fitness vibes here! I value inclusion and progress over perfection.

    • This group will feel like a community of support and FUN (which we all need more of, right?!)

    • I’m able to modify exercises for you as needed for pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause or any pelvic floor symptoms.

    • I’ve created a solid workout program that will have you feeling better than when you started AND help you get stronger and moving easier (without the body obsession or diet culture BS)!

    Plus, you get me as your coach — someone who understands real life and prioritizes sustainable progress over quick fixes.

  • If you’re still unsure which group to join (postpartum or community) let’s talk!

    You can send me an email or set up a call and we’ll figure it out together.
