Client Testimonials

"I want to share with you what I have shared with friends and family alike.

Over the years, I have tried many different exercise regimens, both at home as well as club memberships – none really worked - either because:

(A) I wasn’t motivated enough to get off the couch (who wants to turn off their favorite show after working 10-12 hours, turn on the video to do a cardio workout when you have continually push the “Pause” button on the remote only to realize after 3 tries that you were NOT actually supposed to be crawling on the floor in pain?)

(B) Classes did not meet my work scheduling needs

(C) The classes that WERE available were so full, it felt more like a cattle call than an exercise class – trying to copy the person next to you in a class of 30 or more, only to realize THEY are as clueless as you are, since neither can see the instructor from the back of the class, does more to de-motivate a person than anything.

I have done cardio kickboxing (good class – when I was 10 years younger!), some of the “dance till you sweat” classes (let’s get real – shake your booty? Once you’re past 35, everything “shakes”  ) I have also tried Yoga, which is a favorite of my sister – puts me right to sleep mostly. For me, it’s like, COME ON!! Warrior Pose I get, Cow Face Pose? Eagle Pose? Half Moon Pose? BOOOORRRRIIIINNNNGGGGGGG.

As you know, I have a gymnastics background and needed something that actually moved me without killing me. In early August, a co-worker recommended that I try Energetic Care. Needless to say, after lots of trial and mostly error, I thought “riiiiight. suuuurrrre” Having just a tad bit of hope left, I signed up for the Reformer Pilates Workshop. Being almost 50, not very motivated and generally ornery, I “drafted” Sandee to come with me in case it was a bust.

Here it is, 5 months later. Even with all the Christmas food – New Orleans style, I porked out on Pralines, Red Velvet Cake, Gumbo and every other possible dish that would send a calorie-counting freak running for the hills! I expected to maybe go to a few classes and maybe lean out a little, maybe relieve some of the pressure-cooker stress I have.

What I actually got: I went from a 32 waist and 164lbs, to a 29 waist and 142lbs!!! That is a bonus I never even realized I would get until I went shopping for jeans at Christmas. I knew my pants were looser fitting, but I didn’t really attribute it to actual weight loss or Pilates – never even really had time to think about it. WOW – an unexpected loss of 22lbs, 3 inches in my waist – Merry Christmas to ME!!

It has been worth every single penny! THANK-YOU."

"I have been working with Lynda for three years now. What a God send! Whether I have a Pilates class, massage or coaching session, I leave feeling lighter, happier, and centered. I recommend her to everyone I know."
--- Loretta Allsup, Retired VP of Sales

Pilates

"Having trained as an Olympic athlete for many years, my body was in peak physical condition. However after years of intense training my body had also sustained multiple injuries, which untimely forced me into early retirement. Following my retirement and having had a child I noticed that my body lacked the flexibility, tone and strength that it once had. And in wanting to regain what had been lost, I tried many forms of exercise however finding most were limiting and painful continue due to my previous injuries. However after only a few Pilates sessions with Lynda, I noticed increased flexibility, strength, and not to mention a more lean and toned body. And this was all achieved by a limitless and pain-free approached for which Lynda is quite an expert in."
---Diana King
Former Taekwondo World champion

"I have been attending Lynda's Pilate's class for over a year now. I truly look forward to our hour of exercise, stretching, breathing techniques, and relaxation. Lynda's class is for everyone, young and old. She is helpful to the new students, offering several "levels" in which the exercise can be done. She is informative, sharing her knowledge on the specific muscle's each exercise is concentrating on. Pilate's has helped my lower backache, I am stronger, and I am more limber than I have been in a long time. I would recommend Lynda's class for all."

"Lynda is a very caring, knowledgeable, professional instructor. Through her Pilates class I have learned to manage a chronic sciatic condition and no longer require physical therapy or medication. Lynda gets to know each of her students and gives individual attention, even in a large class. I especially appreciate her method of teaching - she demonstrates each movement, describing which muscles and joints are involved and the benefits. I was in such pain I had to stop working sooner than planned. Now, besides Pilates, I am taking yoga classes and working with strength training equipment I never thought I could use. I just love Lynda; her sweet spirit reminds me of my sister. I have recommended Lynda to many people."
---Melva Griffin

Yoga

“Lynda is an awesome teacher. I have been involved with Yoga classes for over 35 years and she truly understands the body/mind connection and is able to communicate this to students at a level I have not experienced before in Yoga class”
---SC

"I've taken Lynda King's class since I first began Yoga five years ago. She is a great favorite with me and with her other regulars who fill the room when she is teaching. I love it that she is helpful without being intrusive. She gets the best out of each of us. Her manner is always cheerful, supportive and calm and her voice is quiet. Lynda is a music lover and her choice of music, always loud enough to be a real presence but never louder than it should be, adds so much to the flow of the positions we do. We are intent on what we are doing in her class; she has our full attention and it is truly an experience in moving meditation."
---Arline Molander, Retiree

"Patience, compassion, teacher, healer, these are just some of the characteristics that describe Lynda and the way she conducts her yoga class. During the two hours I spend with her, the hour and a half in yoga and half hour meditation, it is clear to me that my mind and body have transformed for the good."
---Marge Tarbell, age 68

"Your class is wonderful. I enjoy everything you teach even though some of my poses leave something to be desired. I enjoy your affirmations, music and the special attention you give to each student. My favorite part of the class is the last 10 minutes and then the extended relaxation. I highly recommend your class. Keep up the good work. Thanks!"
--- Diane, a proud student of Lynda King

"I love your class and have from the very first one. Whenever I leave, I am relaxed, spiritually recharged and feel that I had a great workout. I have recommended your class to many people, and a lot of them are regulars now!!"
--- Stacy Murray, 36, Esthetician

Massage

"Melanie Drane wrote, "Poetry functions as the canary in the coal mine: ..." This is the quote as answer that came to me when I asked myself, why do I recommend Lynda King as a massage therapist? I recommend Lynda King because her massage skill is canary - like. My body has never felt better! Lynda King's hands and feet are poet sleuths!"
---Lisa

"Lynda King of Energetic Care has been phenomenal in helping to relieve the extreme tightness and tension in my neck and shoulders. Her intuitive sense of what is just the right amount of pressure needed to help loosen those tight muscles makes for a soothing and relaxing session.

I had never experienced the Ashiatsu Oriental Bar massage prior to coming to Lynda, and, I must confess, I was a little unsure of whether or not I would like it. But after experiencing the benefits of this technique, I am a convert! The consistent pressure is never too intense, yet it is extremely effective and and it promotes an even deeper level of relaxation."
---Deanna Fenton

Life Coaching

"Lynda King has been instrumental in alleviating my panic/anxiety attacks through her Life coaching. I am now able to do things I never thought possible. She is the only person who has ever been able to get me to completely relax and
de-stress through her Massage Therapy and Life coaching, always knowing exactly what I need. Thanks to Lynda I am now on the road to much improved health!"
