Here’s what our clients are saying

  • ERIKA G.

    “

    Lynda has been my coach through the worldwide pandemic, back-to-back overseas deployments, as well as the loss of a loved one. Lynda has learned what works best for me as an athlete and a person; she knows when to hit the throttle up but also when to throttle back. I cannot recommend her enough as a coach, but also as a good person. Through her coaching, I have qualified for Team USA twice and competed at Worlds once. I've had a 20 watt increase in my bike power and improved my run pace by a full minute. Lynda has coached me, but also listened and understood my performance and personal goals. Lynda will work with you to find your way to your athletic goals as well.

    “

    I am working on my third season with Lynda and have appreciated the flexible yet targeted approach as my own schedule and abilities change. Lynda’s focus on goal setting, smart training, and gratitude has made the training and competition process more achievable and fulfilling. Since working together, I have successfully added progressive strength training, daily nutrition strategy, and female-specific approaches to improve my athletic performance in a way that the benefits are not limited to race day.

    “

As a coach Lynda believes in the holistic approach to support people’s goals. Understanding the WHY, WHAT and then we work the HOW together by developing an individual adaptable plan that works to strengths, what you love and life.

Motivation comes from within — and I’m here to help you activate it.
