Why Wellness Gaines?

Gain knowledge, strength, and confidence to live the life you always wanted through

At Wellness Gaines, we don’t believe in extremes, starting over, or one-size-fits-all plans.

Instead, we focus on helping you:

  • Build strength in a way that supports your body

  • Eat in a way that feels nourishing—not restrictive

  • Create routines that fit your life and actually last

This is coaching designed for real life—so you can feel better, get stronger, and stay consistent without the overwhelm.

Hi! I am Candice

I’m a coach who believes your health should support your life—not take it over.

I help you build strength, feel more confident in your body, and create habits that actually last through a balanced approach to movement, nutrition, and recovery.

Because this isn’t about doing everything perfectly.
It’s about finding what works for you—and being able to sustain it.

Outside of coaching, you’ll usually find me in the sunshine—walking at dog beach, hiking, or curled up with a good book.​ I love good food, deep connection, movement, and a lot of laughter—and I bring that same energy into the way I coach

With over 20 years of experience and a background in human movement, nutrition, and behavior change, I combine science-backed coaching with a realistic, supportive approach.

Online Training

I have been working out at gyms for over 30 years.  During that time, I have tried many trainers, but until I found Candice, I was always disappointed.  Don't let my "experience" of life fool you.  I have had other trainers as well as members at my gym, comment on how hard I work. Candice doesn't create your workout according to your age, she creates your workout according to your abilities!  Candice has many great qualities, but there are two that set her apart from other trainers that I have worked with.


Candice has knowledge - lots of it!!!   She has a Master's degree in Human Movement.  She is always improving on her knowledge by continuing to take classes and improve her skills.  There are many times I read health/fitness articles that are exclaiming "the best" exercises, only to discover that I have been doing those or have done them because of Candice and her awesome training. She is very dedicated to training and keeping up on what is new and safe for you! 


Candice listens!!! She asks about your desires and actually sets up programs to meet those needs.  Her workouts take care of your total body! They are always safe, even including corrective exercises if needed.  She adjusts sessions to meet time constraints without compromising your workout.  When I let her know that I have to work out during lunch, I am in and out but still know that I have hit every muscle and done a complete workout! If I let her know that I have a sore area, she comes right back with the adjustment I need to continue my workouts in a safe way. After giving me a program, she always follows up to see how it is going and see if I have questions. She is always so encouraging and keeps me going! 


I feel very fortunate to have found Candice as my personal trainer. I am grateful to Candice every day for giving me the gift of a healthy body so that I can continue to pursue the activities I like to do!
