The anti-diet Newcastle fitness coach promoting body positivity and her message to 'fat-shamers'

She's a Newcastle fitness coach that steers Geordies away from diets and towards embracing the body that they are in.

Kim Stacey is the founder of the online fitness business, Body Image Fitness, which provides exercise classes with a difference. The 37-year-old mum from Kenton tells clients to bin the diet and celebrate their body for what it can do - rather than the number on the scales.

With sessions ranging from burlesque and belly dance to yoga and kettlebells, Kim's focus is on boosting body confidence while nurturing mental and physical health.
