About Me

Where age is just a number. My passion is guiding people toward a sustainable, healthy, and empowered lifestyle.

Kim Watson Hix Personal Trainer

22+

Years Coaching

Tailored Training, No Catch-All Programs

Everybody is unique and I treat each person as the individual that they are. I do not use catch-all programming. Each person gets tailored workouts customized to THEM, their goals, fitness level, abilities & needs.

My method is to build a custom plan based on your health, schedule, and fitness goals. You will enjoy a different workout every time you train with me — no client has EVER repeated the exact same workout twice.

I competed in my first Figure competition in 2014 at the age of 48 to show my daughter that age does not define our abilities. I now have 21 competitions, 2 state powerlifting records, and 22+ years of coaching.
