About the Owner

Hi, I’m Candice, certified personal trainer and owner of Stand Strong Fitness & Wellness.

Before becoming a trainer, I spent over 10 years working in healthcare as a nursing assistant in long-term care, sub-acute care, hospice, rehabilitation, and physical therapy settings. Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for the importance of movement, strength, resilience, and compassionate support through every stage of life.

My journey into fitness became personal during some very difficult seasons in my own life. What started as an outlet eventually became something much bigger. Through training, I discovered not only physical strength, but also confidence, structure, stress relief, and a sense of control during a time when life felt overwhelming. The impact was so life-changing that I decided to become a trainer myself so I could help others experience that same transformation.

I have a special place in my heart for people who are rebuilding themselves — physically, mentally, or emotionally. Whether someone is brand new to fitness, returning after time away, or simply trying to feel like themselves again, my goal is to create an environment where they feel supported, encouraged, and capable.
My private 300 sq ft studio was intentionally designed to offer a more personal and comfortable experience than a crowded commercial gym. I believe fitness should feel approachable, empowering, and sustainable for real life.

As both a trainer and someone who understands the challenges of balancing health, stress, family, and everyday responsibilities, I approach coaching with empathy, accountability, and a focus on long-term progress over perfection.
