Kind Words

"It's been the single best thing I’ve done wholly for myself and I can’t wait for our sessions each week. Even if I start the session feeling grumpy, tired or overwhelmed I always finish feeling strong, happy and confident. I feel better and look better but the best thing is I have gained a love and dedication to being fit that I never had before and that is by far the best result.”

Silver Groves, Byron Bay

"Candice has this unique way of inspiring you to be the healthiest version of yourself. She leads every class with a close eye to perfect technique, and holds you accountable for your own fitness journey, pushing you further then where you think you could go. The female only classes have this hilarious, gentle and caring dynamic that make me look forward to showing up for a good laugh and sweat. Since joining the classes I have felt other areas of my life align to a healthier, happier place.”

Angela McCarthy, Byron Bay

"Whether you're new to fitness groups or you're a seasoned pro who can do burpees in your sleep, Candice is the best there is! Her classes are small & personal, sweaty & painful, and TOTALLY worth it. I've never felt better."

Freya Jinny, Byron Bay

"A session with Candice will have you grunting, sweating, grimacing, groaning and laughing, and at the end of each session you'll feel great knowing you worked out HARD!"

Angela Ponsford, Byron Bay

  • What sort of movement does your body require this week in order to perform at its best, to live well with enough energy for yourself and to give to those you care for? Is your body feeling frazzled and tight, in need of gentle walks and stretching? or is it firing on all cylinders and up for a full blown bout of boxing and hill sprints? You’re in charge of your fitness, and your body! I would rather my muscles resembled a perfectly cooked filet mignon, rather than a rubbery, chewy old, burnt (out) steak! For me, this is personally achieved through listening in, and not pushing past what my physical and emotional body are capable of, and it changes day to day depending on my sleep, my hormones, my work load, and what I am working through energetically! It’s a delicate balance between push and surrender, to build strength, and to also stay supple, and it’s the difference between feeling vital and feeling drained. ⚖️🥩
  • Sometimes taking good care of yourself is about recognizing when you’re feeling vulnerable and knowing your needs ‘vs’ your wants, or, your pull towards avoiding discomfort ‘vs’ staying with it, and consciously choosing the latter. There is something very loving (and courageous) about putting yourself to bed after a tough day, knowing you held your own hand through some discomfort instead of running from it. Everyone has bad days. How good are you at tending to your body and heart’s needs when you’ve had a rough day? #selfcare 📸 @tinamariaelena

  • The art of intuitive eating & working out - a topic that is very close to my heart! • I recorded a live video today on how to empower yourself to find what foods and exercise you need in order to feel energetic, to heal, to thrive - and most of all step away from food control and obsession! I have personally found the answers this year have been through listening to my body (honestly) and asking one simple question... then responding! • In the insta live video, I (kinda fumble) and flesh out what my approach to my health has been for 2018! If finding the right diet is something you struggle with, or if you have been thrashing it out at the gym and you’re not getting the results you’re chasing, this video may be of some help to you!! Personally, it has been life changing, and has saved me a whole lotta money, and inner conflict! • I will write a blog with a little more info on this subject eventually, but for now, you got 24hrs to watch my mug and then the shows all over my friends as I don’t think you can save insta lives to your highlights... x
  • One of the most common responses to stress, anxiety, restlessness, disappointment, overwhelm, and tiredness etc. I see in both myself and my clients, is the strong tendency during these uncomfortable times, to turn to earthly pleasures (coffee, alcohol, sugar, drugs, shopping) - we tell ourselves we deserve the wine, the coffee, the chocolate, the late nights up watching Netflix! • And though all of these are completely healthy and fine enjoyed in balance, it’s the hard times when we want them the most, yet our bodies want them the least! • When I am dealing with strong emotions, especially ones related to disappointment, or despair, I almost always find myself falling in to the habit of increasing these pleasures ... and as a result prolong the pain, often creating a whole new problem... i.e eating chocolate every day for two weeks means gaining some unwanted extra body fat, so we now feel even worse about ourselves!! • We are so good at avoiding pain and discomfort that most of the time we have rationalized why we need or deserve (insert pleasure) without realizing that they are just holding us back from moving through and past the present hardship... • So this is a gentle reminder, if this speaks to you, the extra coffee you want to have when you are feeling tired or anxious, is most likely exacerbating your feelings of powerlessness!! • Swap your coffee for an earl grey, switch your wine for a bath, walk along the beach instead of scrolling Instagram... all it takes is a split second decision to make a more supportive choice, and you have taken one empowered step towards feeling centered again. • Lean in to discomfort, stay with your healthy rituals during these times, it’s when you want to do them least, but need them the most! Sleep and spend extra time resting (when you want to spend more time moving)... you will feel strong for it! 🌻🌻🌻📷 @rupikaur_
