About Me:
My name is Canvas Rose. I am a NASM certified Corrective Exercise Specialist and ACE certified Personal Trainer. I started Rosefit 12 years ago in West Seattle. I am a mom of two teenagers, a singer/songwriter, rock climber, and runner. Being an extremely active person with hyper mobility has taught me invaluable lessons in helping others with hypermobility and chronic pain.
I started exercising at a very young age to manage my then undiagnosed CPTSD. Fitness is only one piece of my mental health journey but a critical one, and I love connecting the dots for others on how to make small changes that make a big impact. As a trainer, I am concerned with the whole person and how that impacts your ability to experience joy in movement. I am trauma informed and maintain focus on fitness as well as joy in movement for EVERY BODY. My goal as a trainer is to support you to have safe and positive associations with movement. I center your experience and honor your connection to your body as our primary source of information when deciding how to move forward with your fitness journey.
I am deeply connected to the health & wellness community within West Seattle and am happy to connect you with other wellness professionals who are invested in your healing journey as well.
“Four years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life. At age 58 I was struggling with some pretty impactful knee issues. On a whim I decided to try a series of private physical coaching sessions with a upbeat and (it turns out) extremely knowledgeable young woman, Candice Rose. She quickly determined the most effective exercises to build strength in muscles that ultimately alleviated the knee pain I’d been living with for over 2 years. In the past four years I’ve run four half-marathons, biked extensively through the Netherlands and am now training for a 500 mile hike across northern Spain. I couldn’t have done any of this without the life changing lessons learned from Candice Rose. Thanks Candice!”

Candice is an amazing trainer!
I trained with her for almost a year, before I moved out of the area. She totally helped me transform my body and get going on a path where I now love my body and feel great about it, and I am also stronger and fitter than ever before in my life. Whatever your goals are, or wherever you are on your path, Candice will listen to you and design a program that will get you there. Her workouts are varied, challenging, thoughtful and creative so I never got bored, plus she is a riot. She's really an amazing trainer and if I still lived close enough I would still be working with her. Don't wait any longer, you can start now, so do it! I am so much happier now that I have my strength and my fitness and that wouldn't have happened without her. Amazing trainer, the best I've ever found!
