Anne IngardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a physical therapist who found Linda Abel on Next Door. I had been looking for a trainer who understood the concept of starting low and going slow with my patients who were frequently re-injuring themselves at the gym, overdoing, or not making progress because of under training. Linda is highly motivating and knows exactly the right amount of exercise to avoid injury and make steady gains. What drew me to Linda is her extensive knowledge of functional nutrition so that she could coach her clients in how to nourish their bodies, lose weight if needed while building muscle. Building muscle is impossible if the body is malnourished, protein deficient. Linda formulates actionable plans to correct nutritional deficiencies and then the strength building falls into place. Linda is passionate about her work and compassionate. She understands, from her own experience with a complicated fracture and 6 months in a wheel chair, what happens to the psyche after an injury and what it takes to recover in mind body and spirit. If you are ready to do the work to transform your physical health ( which can lead to improved mental health) Linda Abel is the trainer you need. StephTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Linda is very patient and understanding, she always makes sure im comfortable both physically and mentally. She always puts my wants and needs first and is so educated and knows so much about whats going on in the body. I would highly recommend her! Lucy RobinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a working mom to three kids in my mid-50s. Working with Linda (functional nutrition, personal training, and weight loss coaching) has improved my life in so many ways! I've lost 30 POUNDS, the pain and inflammation I was suffering from when I came to her is almost entirely gone, and I'm gaining muscle and losing fat at a healthy and sustainable rate. She's truly a joy to work with! Rick DevereuxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Linda Evdu has been a great find for me and my wife. We're 74 and lead active lives, but sought a personal trainer 6 months ago as we had become relatively deconditioned following an accident. We found Linda from our physical Therapist's referral. We've worked on balance, core and total body training. After the first couple of months of joint training with my wife at Well Taken Care of, I wished I had started this work with her 30;years earlier when back pain had started to be a chronic nuisance that yoga didn't entirely manage! Rick Devereux Cristine MoreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love working out under Linda’s coaching. She knows how and when to push me and the exercises work all the areas of the body! Jamie LabonoskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been meeting with Linda weekly for personal training for the past several months. Every session is different and challenges me in a new way each week. I am a lifelong runner who really only loves to run and hence I have always skimped on strength training and balancing out with my other muscle groups. I knew this meant I was leaving myself more prone to injury which lead me to seeking out personal training. With Linda's guidance and encouragement I have noticed a remarkable increase in my overall strength, and have been really, finally enjoying strength training and the best part is my runs feels stronger and faster. Linda's workouts are no joke, I'm usually sore for 2 days after our sessions so I always feel like Ive gotten my moneys worth :-) She is a calm and deliberate presence and I have truly enjoyed having the opportunity to train with her! Kristin LindstromTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Linda is tough love personified. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a graceful way of guiding me toward my goals. Her workouts are tough, but as she says, “we have goals”. She holds me accountable and pushes me past what I think I can do. She understands women and our bodies and I am grateful to have found her. I highly recommend working with Linda. Lynn ZhangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good experience! This is the first time I am using the personal trainer and I find it very helpful! Tonya KentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I truly enjoy working with Linda. She is an amazing trainer/coach. She is very knowledgeable and focuses on how to help you achieve your personal fitness goals. Her approach is total health, extending beyond physical exercise. I’ve learned so much about myself and my body.
