LindaFit Certified Instructor Testimonials “I can’t say enough about Linda Farrell’s LindaFit Pilates Mat Certification program. I have been a dancer my whole life and have really relied on Pilates to keep me in shape and always wanted to get my certification. Linda really provided me with all of the tools and information that I needed to get started. It was fantastic! She is dedicated to helping get her students work and grow within the field. Linda really knows her anatomy and provides you with all of the knowledge on how the body works through each exercise. When I decided to take her intensive training weekend last fall, I was only really planning on teaching part time. I was really shocked when I had gotten a job teaching at almost instantly and was immediately able to pay for the training. She is behind us one hundred percent. Because of her encouragement and knowledge, I am now able to take my career as a Pilates Instructor full time, make the same amount or more in income and have much more time on my hands to do the things that I love to do. I am now teaching at numerous places all over the city including, Pilates on Fifth, Boom Fitness, NY Health and Racquet, and various other gyms and dance studios in addition to private clients. Linda Farrell and her unique program have truly been one of the most positive experiences I have known and I thank her for helping me find such a wonderful outlet.” Emily Venizelos, teaching at Body Strength, Practice Yoga, and Steps on Broadway “The LindaFit Pilates Mat Certification Program opened the door for me to teach Pilates. After receiving my certification, I was able to immediately begin teaching Pilates at various studios which reimbursed me for the fee I paid to take the course. The one on one help with teaching and career guidance helped me find work quickly. After completing level 1, I took a level 2 workshop to learn more variations to interest and advance both me and my students. This program has not only supported me, but will help me further my knowledge and teaching skills during the long run as a Pilates teacher.” Vanessa Byard, Programming Manager, Broadway Dance “I am the Programming Manager for the Broadway Dance Center in New York City. My job is to find teachers of the highest quality to meet the demanding standards of our professional dance and fitness programs. I have had the pleasure of taking Linda Farrell’s excellent Pilates mat classes at the Center, and I also took Linda Farrell’s wonderful Pilates Mat Certification Program last fall. I was extremely impressed with the high quality, well organized training and education that Linda provided. The anatomy review was one of my favorite segments, as Linda was able to present the information in an interesting, clear and easy to follow manner. Anatomy can be very challenging, intimidating subject; Linda was able to make it enjoyable, stimulating and a valuable experience. I highly recommend the LindaFit Pilates Mat Certification Series of Workshops, as it will benefit so many fitness instructors, and personal trainers looking to add increased knowledge and skills sets to their repertory”. James Ervin, Sculpt/Jazz Instructor, Equinox, incorporating Pilates for warm-up “I have been involved in the Fitness Industry for about 10 years now as an instructor at Equinox Fitness Clubs. Linda's Pilates Mat Certification was a wonderful and valuable experience for me as an instructor. The level of experience, knowledge and expertise was exciting. The program was very well organized. There was never a boring moment and with so much to learn, Linda kept me focused and challenged without feeling overwhelmed. A professional with the power to educate however, not intimidate while sharing her passion and abundant experience and knowledge.” Dorit Koppel, Dance Teacher, Broadway Dance Center, incorporating Pilates for dancers “I am a ballet teacher in New York City. Linda Farrell’s Pilates Mat Certification Program was well conducted, organized, and informative. I enjoyed the interaction among the participants, and the chance to practice teaching. Linda’s knowledge of the material, her clarity and focus, and constant support and encouragement make this program a worthwhile experience. It is so easy and fun to learn from her. Linda is a source of inspiration to many of us who teach.” Sandra Lee, Acting Coach and Director teaching Pilates to her acting students “As someone lucky enough to have taken Linda Farrell’s Pilates Mat Certification Program, I can only say her knowledge of the work, of the body, her humor, generosity, and commitment is awesome-take it!” Ivy Berke, Fitness Instructor/Personal Trainer teaching small groups and one-on-one mat "I met Linda at a fitness conference roughly 4 years ago. I had previously taken various Pilates workshops but had not quite gotten the concept. Linda’s class made total sense to me. I was motivated to learn more and followed her to Equinox in NYC to take her classes and eventually sign up for her Lindafit Pilates mat certification program. As a fitness instructor for 18 years with my own established business in Westchester, I would consider myself a discerning customer. What I see in Linda is a very experienced master teacher who has a great understanding of what she is teaching and is able to articulate that to her students both verbally and physically. I completed the program feeling well equipped to teach Pilates and have already started two classes. I continue to drive into the Alisa De Los Reyes, Pilates Mat Instructor, The Loft Dance and Fitness, HBO Fitness Center “I was introduced to Pilates about four years ago when I was a member of the Hunter College Dance Company. An injury to my ankle resulted in lower back pain and Pilates helped correct what I had been paying a chiropractor to. |
