Working with Candace really changed my perspective on fitness, my body, and my relationship with food. She is an enthusiastic coach and ensured I was being consistent with my lifts while putting equal emphasis on rest, nutrition, and being kind to myself. 

I was never coached with judgment or fear, and she welcomed all my insecurities. Oh, and she also taught me how to lift heavy things and get some juicy thighs and booty. 

I am excited to train with Candace again and know that our time together helped set me up for success in my lifetime fitness journey. Thank you, Candace!

I reached out to Candace when I was feeling stuck with my strength training program. I had been working on increasing my back squat for a while and wanted someone to help me get to the next level. 

As a fitness coach myself, I know how important it is to get a fresh set of eyes on what you're currently doing so you can identify the gaps between where you are and where you want to be, and Candace's expertise helped me do just that! With her feedback, I was able to move past my plateau, get stronger, and put on some more muscle. 

Candace's programs are very efficient, straightforward, and easy to follow (but not EASY!), and I absolutely recommend her for anyone looking to make progress with their lifts without having to spend all day in the gym. Thank you Candace!

Candace was just what I needed! I am a 43 year old woman who has always tried to stay fit. However, my workouts had ceased to make the difference I was wanting to see. 

I was spending 30 minutes to an hour on an elliptical, but was seeing no results. 

Candace worked with me to customize a fitness plan that condensed my workouts and optimized my time.

I ended up spending less time in the gym and seeing significant changes in my body. Instead of shooting for "skinny", I began seeking a strong, fit body. The results? A year after we stopped working together I am still feeling confident and in control of my fitness level. Thanks Candace!!!!

It's been really helpful to have somebody in my corner, both as support and as someone to have accountability to. The workouts are at a good level, where they are challenging enough, and I am feeling results, but not so hard that I don't want to come back and do it again! 

Nutrition-wise, it's been so helpful to have someone bring some balance into the way I eat and look at food. I was definitely seeing 'healthy eating' as a very all-or-nothing endeavor, which was totally unsustainable. The 'diet' I'm crafting now feels low pressure, and I actually like something I can stick to.

I love working with Candace! I go to school full time, own a business, and am trying to build muscle in my mid-40s so I can live a healthier life. I really struggle for time, so I really appreciate getting the workouts each month and then fitting them around my schedule.

I have a routine now, and throughout the week, if I have questions or need help, Candace is always responsive and available. I send her videos or ask for suggestions if I'm more tired that week or something comes up and I have to shorten the workout. 

There is always a modification, so I can get some kind of movement in. She really helped me include more movement throughout the week as I have an 1.5 hour commute each way and am sitting in classes for several hours at a time. 

She is always full of optimism and energy that is contagious and it's really made a difference. I feel strong and am making good progress and healthy decisions. Also she is all about balance and making sure I'm not stressing over what I can do that week. That kind of compassion for my body helps me make better decisions more consistently.

After 3 months on the Stronger Way Program I am totally impressed.  As a fitness professional myself I needed someone to keep me accountable and to give me a plan that was easy to follow and provided specific guidance on how to get stronger in my own gym.  

The monthly check in, video examples and detailed plan was just what I needed.  I look forward now too working with Coach Candace over the next 12 months.  Can’t wait to see what consistent work looks like if you put in that work. 

RANDOM WORKOUTS LEAD TO RANDOM RESULTS.  So glad to finally have a plan.  

Candace, thank you so much for your Strong Habits Academy, I learned so much! Even though I’ve been lifting for almost two years now, I was never in the habit of taking my time on reps and resting between sets. I always felt like I needed to rush and keep moving in order to be “going hard.” You really hammered home how important it is to rest between sets, as well as doing thoughtful, controlled reps. 

However, the biggest game-changer I learned through the course was the importance of my first meal of the day. 

I’d always skipped breakfast and tried to eat as little as possible during the morning. I figured I’d be saving calories that way, since I’m not very hungry when I first get up. 

You taught me that my first meal, whenever I eat it, is so vital to a good day! I started eating a good first meal, usually some sort of bagel or toast, eggs, cheese, and sometimes veggie sausage or fruit. 

I feel satisfied well into the afternoon, and since it’s such a delicious meal, I’m not constantly thinking about when and what I’ll eat. You’re a wonderful coach, encouraging and REAL! Your advice is easy to follow, and you do such a good job of explaining WHY it works! I can’t thank you enough for the motivation to be a better me!
