What started as a barn, turned into a community.
About
Barnyard Fitness and Nutrition first opened its barn doors in June 2020. We are an inclusive gym in beautiful Pemberton, BC welcoming all abilities from beginner to expert gym goers. Our community includes a diverse group of people from new moms and dads to high-performance athletes to members in their early 20’s and late 60’s.
We are a supportive gym that likes to work hard, cheer on each other and have fun. Check your ego at the barn door and get ready to sweat!
Our 45 minute simple, but effective group workout classes include Work, Lift, Move and Olympic lifting. Choose the style that works best for you! View our classes for more information on pricing and programming.

Thanks for stopping by!
After coaching for so many years in Whistler, I wanted to bring a vibrant gym closer to home in Pemberton. I always loved CrossFit and had a vision to create a unique fitness environment that blended strength and functional movement. We started with just five members in June 2020 and quickly evolved from there!
The barn transformed over the years, removing walls, adding insulation and continuing to upgrade with new equipment. With a lot of love and team effort, I’m incredibly proud of the gym we’ve built today.
Barnyard Fitness and Nutrition is not an intimidating environment. We’re just a bunch of mountain town people trying to get fit and stay fit! My favourite thing to do is watch people work out, transform, and see the positive mental and physical shifts.
I am a Level 1 Crossfit Trainer, Level 1 Certified Nutrition Coach with Precision Nutrition, and Burgener Certified Weight Lifting.
Outside of Barnyard, I love to mountain bike, ski, and spend time with my family and friends in this beautiful place we get to call home. If you meet me you’ll soon discover my love for pets and supporting animal rescue with Pemberton PAWS.
Thank you for joining our special community!
All my love,
Candice

“I have been training with Candice for over two decades. In this time I have watched the way that she connects with her clients and helps them attain their fitness goals. She truly cares about their form, growth, safety and overall output they give when doing each and every workout. All she wants for her clients and prospective clients is to feel strong, empowered and part of a community that supports healthy living and acceptance no matter what demographic you align with. I will continue to train with Candice until my body can’t go further – so forever!”

“Until I started going to Barnyard, workout classes were always a burden, something I knew was good for me but that I was reluctantly attending for a variety of reasons. Things changed two years ago when I first set foot in the barn. Candice’s coaching style is professional yet approachable. The exercises and the people are fun and the progression is rewarding: I lost weight, and at 42 years-old, I feel stronger than ever. I now look forward to going to class multiple times a week.”

“I started working out with Candice at Barnyard when she opened over 5 years ago and I have never left. She has seen me through a pregnancy, recovery from pregnancy and birth and multiple injuries. I have never felt stronger and healthier than I do now. The classes are always so much fun and it is such a supportive atmosphere. I have made great connections at the gym and love the people that come to classes. I would highly recommend Barnyard Fitness and Candice as a trainer and nutritionist. She is the best!”
