I am still working out with Linda and it's just as much fun as it was when I first started. We do many fun things and sometimes I let her win at ping-pong! I play tennis and my tennis game has improved greatly because of my work with Linda. I feel much more confident thanks to her.

Excerpt from her blog:

I started working with Linda in 2008, six weeks after having my second son. At the time I was determined to lose the baby weight I had gained during pregnancy. That goal was achieved and exceeded in just six months (see photos below).

My youngest son is now three, and I am working with Linda again. In the past two and a half years I've gained 13 pounds. Why?...

I first meet Linda about a year after the birth of my third daughter, Ella, and I was trying to get back on the exercising bandwagon to lose the baby weight and get in shape. She was so kind, supportive and encouraging, I knew that with her help I would be able to finally shush that voice in my head that is so wonderful at making excuses for not exercising. Linda helped me identify and write down my goals so I would have a visual reminder. We also created exercise routines that I could do at home — we even incorporated my youngest daughter into some routines in place of weights. Not only did Linda help me create an exercise plan that fit into my family routine, she helped me focus on my diet and snacking so I could make healthier choices. I feel so much stronger and healthier and I challenged my husband to a 5k run!

As a result of that 5k challenge, I learned that I really enjoyed running. I am not fast, but I get out there and run. With Linda’s gentle urging I decided to try some more races. In addition to another 5k, I ran a 10k trail run, the 10 mile Broad Street Run, completed my first Sprint Triathlon and I am now training for the Hershey Half Marathon in October. These are all things I never dreamed that I would be doing. Linda always had the confidence in my ability to complete the races I entered, and I now know that I can do it. It’s not always easy with three young children at home, but when you really want to do something you find a way to make it work. I am confident that I will continue with my journey and look forward to where the road leads.

Ella: YUMMY! I love eating veggie burgers for lunch!

Shortly after my 39th birthday, I met Linda Jassmond. At that time, I was well aware of my decreasing strength, stamina, and general well-being; and my increasing weight. While I knew that I would benefit from a regular work out schedule, I lacked the initiative and interest to motivate myself. As a working mother with 2 very active kids, excuses were much easier than working out! I didn't have time in my busy schedule for preparing healthy meals and visits to the gym.

When Linda first arrived at my home, she was filled with enthusiasm and energy that I immediately envied. She had a maturity and breadth of experience that gave me confidence in her approach to working with me. Ten months later, I feel better than I have in years.

As a matter of fact, for the first time in my life, I am looking forward to entering a bike race. Linda's approach works because she takes the time to get to know you personally as a client. Together you set goals not only for fitness, but for lifestyle. Linda is good at keeping you focused even through the day-to-day challenges of life.

She is very intuitive and tailors your program to where you are at on any given day. I am grateful for the positive changes that Linda has brought to my life and I look forward to continuing my "journey" with her.

Annie said, "The most memorable moment was when Janet jumped out of the canoe to rescue her paddle!"

 
I have always had a difficult time with my weight. The only way I can keep my weight under control is to eat light and EXERCISE! I was at a point where I really needed help with selecting an exercise program that I could do safely and long term. My teenage daughter also needed to build endurance for the high school tennis team. So I met with Linda to see how she could help us.

What I really like about Linda is her positive attitude and her ability to select a program that is specific for where we are and our needs. She didn’t ask me to start off by exercising an hour a day—she gave me very realistic goals that I felt I could reach, making it very doable. She is always there for us—supporting us and celebrating in our successes.

Linda is patient, supportive, and always makes the sessions fun. I laughed as much as I sweated. She is results-oriented but with a person-centered approach. What could be better?
