| Before I met Linda I felt my lifestyle was out of control. I dreaded the holidays because it meant gaining
3-5 lbs or more and feeling terrible about myself in January. Sitting down to dinner and eating until I was stuffed to the point where I was uncomfortable, only to wait an hour or so and hit the dessert table. |
And then there was the "I'm going to get back in shape" mode that I would get into in January that started with the starvation dieting that led to headaches and grumpiness and very little progress on the scale.
I felt helpless. I tried weight watchers, slim fast, Atkins, you name it. Then I met Linda and she taught me how to change my habits and take control of my lifestyle. Now I am 100% in control, I eat well, I exercise and I feel great! I was always worried about going back to my old habits whenever I tried some new diet and that's generally what happened because diets are temporary. Linda taught me to change my habits and now I have my life back.
I feel as if I have stolen someone's body and it feels terrific. I am competing in my third Ironman and my 5th 1/2 Ironman triathlon this year. I could not have gotten here without Linda. If you have the desire, she will show you the way. It's all good!

Simply put, Linda changed my life. She made impossible things not only possible but now part of my daily life. I will be forever grateful for the dedication, enthusiasm, support, creativity, spirit, knowledge and complete commitment Linda brings to her job everyday.

I think working out with Linda is a fun way to be active. It is good for people of all ages. Before I met Linda, I didn't like sports. Now, my soccer and baseball skills have improved greatly. Also, I can spiral a football. Thanks so much to Linda!

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.

Sustainable.....that is the best word I can use to describe Linda's techniques. Anybody can go on a crash diet or exercise for a few weeks but at the end of the day a sustainable lifestyle change is the key to health and happiness. Linda excels at helping individuals achieve this.

Working with Linda has helped me become healthier and happier with myself. I have learned to recognize and manage some of the stresses that caused me to overeat in the past. Linda is fun and motivating and she is great at incorporating healthy eating and exercise into my "real" life so that changes have been sustainable.

When I first started working with Linda, she told me that it was her job to keep me motivated. Wow, did she motivate me! She was always supportive, encouraging and upbeat. She pushed me, but I always felt so very good after spending time with her. She put together a fitness program that will stay with me forever. And she provided education on good nutritional habits. I am so grateful to Linda. She is the BEST!

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 has been outstanding to work with. From the onset, she assessed my needs and constructed a daily program for me, including one that met my extensive travel schedule and could be done anywhere, including hotel rooms! Most importantly she is cheerful and a powerful motivator. Working with her makes training and fitness a pleasure. |

I have worked out at home with video tapes for years and not seeing results. After working out with Linda, she has taught me the importance of proper form in all areas, and most importantly how to "punch up” the workouts. I feel the results from working out with Linda! |

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?
