Well Taken Care Of Ⓡ

Fantastic experience: I had been hesitant to work with a personal trainer until I met Linda. Linda is a knowledgeable, motivated, encouraging, and organized trainer. I feel that each training is customized based on my specific needs, skills and abilities. She comes to each training well prepared. I really enjoy working with Linda!

Fantastic experience: Linda is a wealth of knowledge on all things health and fitness. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Linda has been helping me through some pain issues I have had for several years. I can't say enough great things about her and I'm feeling better than I have been in a long time. Thank you Linda!

Fantastic experience: Linda is an amazing trainer with private and small group sessions. Each session is customized. I’m stronger, healthier and in better shape through the last seven months of working out with her. Moreover, workouts are fun and well-paced. I highly recommend Linda as a trainer whereever you are in your goals. She is incredibly knowledgeable about physiology, biology, nutrition, etc. and will create a plan to help you reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: I found Linda several months ago and what a find! She met me where I was and set up a program just for me including individual and small group training. I'm gaining strength and am so appreciative of her expertise on wellness as well.

Fantastic experience: Linda has helped changed the way I look at my food choices - more protein, (certain) fat is GOOD, and challenged me to work on my relationship with sugar - not easy but she is a sympathetic partner. She’s also great with training, especially with understanding the challenges facing our bodies as we age. And her enthusiasm about her work is unparalleled! If you’re looking for someone to partner with you to reach your goals, Linda is the whole package.

Fantastic experience: Linda is an excellent professional! Thank you so much for helping me with my fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had an amazing experience with Linda. She has a holistic approach to training and nutrition guidance. She is extremely knowledgeable and provides a wealth of information and support. Meeting with Linda weekly has kept me accountable to my goals. She is positive and encouraging and has given me tools to work through stress. I feel appropriately challenged in our workouts and leave feeling great. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Very good experience! This is the first time I am using the personal trainer and I find it very helpful!

Would highly recommend Linda!

Fantastic experience: I came to Well Taken Care of with severe knee and hip pain. I was looking for someone to help with the my range of motion as well. Linda immediately got me to work on my lack of motion and weakness. She provided effective workouts that strengthen my quads and glutes to alleviate my knee and hip pain. In addition, the sessions were fun and informative. Linda has a lot of nutritional advice and knowledge. I feel healthier and stronger following Linda’s program. If you’re looking for a well rounded program that will help you with fitness, health and nutrition Well Taken Care Of is highly recommended!

She helped me to rethink how I view my self and my fitness journey. She is positive, real, supportive and knowledgeable. Linda is good people and genuinely wants to help people. Very few people put people first but Linda does every time. She made me believe that I could achieve my goals. Thank you Linda.

Fantastic experience: Linda is terrific. I have particularly appreciated her careful stretching throughout sessions and her assisted stretching. She also has a lovely manner and personalizes her approach very well.

Fantastic experience: Linda is an excellent personal trainer and life coach. She has a vast understanding and knowledge of body mechanics and health and nutrition so that she can personalize an exercise program and food regimen specifically targeted to one's health issues and goals. In 5 weeks I have seen dramatic results. I have lost weight and gained muscle tone and strength, and more importantly, seen a significant drop in my A1C. Linda provides life strategies that keep you on track with health and nutrition goals, especially for those days when life brings unexpected obstacles and stresses. She's a positive role model and practices what she preaches. I am on the road to better health because of her. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Linda is amazing! I worked with her over my summer home from college and when I went back to school I got so many compliments about my change! My day to day lifestyle improved so much and I cannot recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Linda is great! I’m in the midst of completing her 12week program and have learned so much from her. She’s great at explaining the interplay between exercise, sleep, stress, nutrition and mental well-being. The coaching calls were a huge part of my success with this program and the weekly goal settings helped me break down my long term goal into smaller goals that didn’t overwhelm me. Her weekly training sessions left me sore and feeling accomplished and motivated me to continue my training with additional workout sessions! Overall, I’d recommend linda to anyone looking to create and sustain a lifestyle change!

Fantastic experience: Linda is very knowledgeable and creates a customized plan for her clients. She is also thoughtful about building confidence and self-compassion. I highly recommend working with Linda to achieve health goals!

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I did a 10 week program with Linda and she was fantastic! We both hadn’t had much physical activity due to covid and had put on weight. Not only did we see results after the 10 weeks but Linda was great at giving us nutrition tips. I’m not going to lie, it was a tough workout but we both felt so much stronger by the end of the program. We both felt that Linda was truly invested in us and if my daughter wasn’t going away for the summer we would have continued with another 10 week session!

Fantastic experience: Linda is a great trainer and nutrition advisor. I have been training with her for 3 months now and my level of energy and muscle tone has improved significantly. She is very supportive and gears the workout to your specific needs.

Fantastic experience: Linda is the best! I've spent many years of my life with upper back and neck pain that I was only ever putting a bandaid on until I finally decided it was time to find a permanent solution...hire a personal trainer. Linda is knowledgeable in so many aspects of health and fitness that it makes her excellent at tailoring each session to my specific progress and needs. Every week is different! I love that she explains the exercises and constantly cues my posture and positioning so that i can safely perform the exercise routines home. And the best part is that she is so sweet and fun that it makes our workouts something to look forward to! It's so obvious how much she truly cares and has her client's best interests at heart. I can honestly say that all of my one-on-one sessions with her and the invaluable things she's taught me over these last 6 months make me finally feel like I can be successful at maintaining my fitness/strength long after working with her.

Fantastic experience: Working with Linda has been a great experience so far! I have been able to notice big differences in the way I look but also the way I feel in terms of energy and overall wellbeing. When I first started training with her, I have been suffering from sesamoiditis for a couple of years, and I was not feeling/looking my best due to stress and not so healthy habits. My goals when starting her 12-week program were: 1. To increase energy levels so I could optimize my days, 2.To increase my endurance and 3. Toning (which has always been a bit hard for me). Linda’s training style is super motivating and builds over a very strong foundation on form, mobility and injury prevention which is key for not only a great body but a great functional body ☺️. I still have a long way to go, but now I am super excited to continue. I recommend her 100% if you are looking to integrate a long lasting and sustainable healthy routine to your life. Linda goes all the way back to the fundamentals, this makes a very difficult process pleasant, especially since you also become more self-aware of your body’s needs. You can tell Linda is always up to date and she really customizes her approach to each client’s needs. So far o have also lost 2 inches of waist and I can see toning in new areas

Fantastic experience: Linda is a wonderful personal trainer & person. She is kind, patient and a great listener. She takes a very innovative approach to exercise, tailored to the clients individual needs, and can make changes on the fly. I went into this only caring about the scale but she helped me realize through her coaching there is SO much more involved in personal health! She motivated me through both rigorous exercise and deep relaxation in the same session. As Covid became worse in the state, she easily shifted gears and began coaching me virtually, which was also a wonderful experience. Linda is a personal trainer who you KNOW cares deeply about her clients and I enjoy my time with her a lot.

Fantastic experience: Linda is a wonderful personal trainer and nutrition coach. Her custom program for diabetes management has been effective. I lost 30 pounds in 3 months and reduced my blood sugar to below fasting most days of the week. Highly recommend and truly grateful

Fantastic experience: Linda is great to work with! She is always positive, motivating, works to understand my goals, and pushes me. Each session comprises of different exercises and we rarely will repeat an exercise, so I am never bored. Every day is fun and also challanging. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Linda is an awesome personal trainer. She is a good listener, taking time to hear personal history & developing realistic goals.

Fantastic experience: Linda is amazing! She’s very professional! She has a great personality! Very friendly! Since my first language is portuguese, I always felt very comfortable communicating with her!Got very good results taking barre class with her. I truly recommend her .

Fantastic experience: From the beginning I felt there was no judgement and she encouraged me by letting me know how fully capable I am in reaching my goal and to just push my self to my comfort. She knew exactly what I wanted and exactly which muscles I needed to work on to get the results I desire to have. I’m getting there in less time than I was expecting. She’s sweet, lovely, and extremely encouraging, after every workout I’m in pain but it’s good pain that I can be proud of and I know she too.

Fantastic experience: Linda is a pleasure to work with. She tailors training to the needs of each client . I began my training with Linda due to problems with neck and shoulder pain . Linda took these issues into account when planning my training sessions. At the end of my twelve week sessions with Linda both my neck and shoulder injuries have improved significantly. I credit this to Linda and her thoughtful approach to training.

Fantastic experience: Linda is an awesome trainer. As a 64 yr old out of condition person who has arthritis she totally personalizes every workout for my capabilities. I look forward to our work outs each week. I was drawn to her as a wholistic trainer.

Fantastic experience: Linda is the best! I have been seeing Linda for about 3 months now and feel great! She really takes the time to listen to you, and spends time talking about what your goals are, and helps you get there. She is the most motivating trainer I have ever met, so much so that my daughter now goes to her as well. She works with my daughter weekly on areas that she sees needs improvement to help her great ready for her high school sports. The help she is giving her is strength improvement, and to assist with injury prevention. She also enjoys her time with Linda, as after each session with Linda she always says "I feel great"

Fantastic experience: Linda is very personable and tailors every session with exercises so that the client gets maximum benefit out of it. She is upbeat and fun to work with even though she’s working you to the bone. Would highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Linda is a great personal trainer. I highly recommend her for your all your personal training needs.

Fantastic experience: I cannot stress how highly I recommend Linda. She is much more than just a trainer. She is all around very involved in every aspect of becoming a healthier person. She makes in known mental health and physical health are both important. Her work outs are tough but she knows your limits and even gives you that boost of encouragement with each rep. Her knowledge on diet is key, she helps keep you on track without making you feel like you failed. I have never felt this good about myself and I have only been training with her for a few months. I cannot wait to continue the journey with her.

Fantastic experience: Linda is a great trainer. She personalizes each session and she works to develop areas of weakness. After 3 months I feel much stronger, balanced and confident. I highly recommend Linda for personal training.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working 1.1 with Linda Evbu. This was my 1st experience with a personal trainer and as a 50 something year old first timer, Linda helped me to appreciate the importance of taking better care of myself, inspired me to "keep going, and be in the moment" and helped me realized how good if feels to feel strong and in control both inside and out.

Fantastic experience: My perception of personal training was always very intimidating given the images of people lifting heavy weights and working out until they could not breath! Linda is the absolute opposite of intimidation, she is in fact THERAPEUTIC! Linda's amazing wholistic approach to health has ignited a new vigor for fitness within me! Although she will work you hard, she also allows for recovery and healing of mind and body. Linda will accentuate the positive always and it keeps you coming back for more.... In fact, I never thought I would say this but I actually look forward to working out. Thank you Linda!!!!

Fantastic experience: Linda is a great trainer! She brings in health and wellness, knows how much to push and has a great personality. Not only do I have results from the training, she fixed a shoulder issue and increased my flexibility!

Fantastic experience: I am currently 8.5 months pregnant and I have been doing personal training sessions with Linda 4x/per month since January (before I was pregnant and throughout my pregnancy) and I love her! She customizes each session based on your personal goals, body stability, intensity preference and any target areas you are working on. Linda also pays close attention to how your body responds to certain exercises and she will custom the flow of the workout on the spot. She is also big on ensuring that tightness throughout the body is addressed for better all-around function and modality through assisted stretching - which feels amazing and makes a big difference! In the almost 12 months we've been working together, we'd never done the same workout routine twice which I love. She has also done a phenomenal job tailoring my workouts throughout my pregnancy to keep me strong and in great shape with moderate intensity and safe modifications. I would highly recommend Linda as your personal trainer before pregnancy, during pregnancy or post-pregnancy. She is incredible at what she does and again, will personalize a program just for you!

Fantastic experience: Linda is the best. She has taken the time to really get to know my body and what works for me. Every workout is a good workout with Linda!

Fantastic experience: I just finished my second package of PT sessions with Linda (I did 5 individual sessions first, then did 12 duet sessions with a friend). I loved training with Linda. She’s super creative with the exercises and makes sure I get a full body work out. And she knows how to push me and keep me motivated. I sought out personal training as I was having a lot of back pain related to lifting in work. I am so much stronger now, and I rarely feel pain anymore. I’ve gone from feeling pain multiple times a day to maybe once a week, so a huge improvement. And I feel so much better about myself, my abilities, and my confidence.

Fantastic experience: Linda is the best personal trainer! She knows what your body exactly needs and pushes you hard! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Linda is an amazing trainer and person. She tailors workouts specifically to me and has equipped me with the tools I need to stay strong and prevent injuries as a runner. Her workouts are tough, but effective, and they’re always different, which I love. She has taught and challenged me so much. I’m grateful I get to work with her, and look forward to my time with her each week! Thanks for the motivation, Linda!

Fantastic experience: Linda is an amazing personal trainer. She is in tune to what your body needs and can do to get better. The exercises are always different and challenge you in ways that you didn't even realize were possible. She also helps you with diet and does a thorough consult with you to figure your goals. I look forward to each session with Linda. She is the BEST!

Fantastic experience: Linda has been a great personal trainer for me! She customizes each workout to tailor my specific needs. She always reminds me to stretch and take care of my body. She helped me recover from an injury and pushed me through workouts and always reminded me to engage my core! I love her motivational texts and reminders.

Fantastic experience: Linda is the best personal trainer I have ever had. She owns a deep knowledge of physical exercise, postural movements and human body. My work requires a lot of writing and I have a quite sedentary and stressful life. Linda, meticoulosly is taken care every detail during her classes in order to improve my body shape and posture. After each section of exercises I feel better psychologically and more confident with my body. Thank you, Linda for your excellent work!

Fantastic experience: After many years of being out of the exercise loop and now turning 50, I finally signed up with a personal trainer and I could not be happier. I had an old hip injury which caused me to have a lot of apprehension and anxiety about starting up a new exercise routine. Linda took that anxiety and turned it into amazing results. After only 3.5 months I have lost 23 pounds and gained endurance with body and mind strength that I did not realize I had. Linda personalizes my exercise routines to optimize the best results. People are asking me "what is your secret?" and I respond "no secret, I am just being well taken care of by Linda Abel. She's the best!!!"

Fantastic experience: Linda helped me prepare for my wedding after I had been unsuccessfully dieting and exercising. She was not only a great physical trainer, but she helped me improve my relationship with food and coached me on a personalized nutrition program. On my wedding day, I didn’t have to wear spanx! I went to Linda to get my wedding body, but I received a total mind-body makeover. Thank you Linda!

Fantastic experience: Linda has helped me to understand my body better and have more confidence in my abilities. She has an endless amount of excersies to keep you engaged in your workout. Her whole body approach has a great effect on the body. She also provides great mindfulness and positive motivation. You’ll never regret a workout with Linda!

Fantastic experience: Linda is the best! Very encouraging!

Fantastic experience: Linda is the best! I trained with her for 8 months and she changed my mind and body drastically for the better. Her sessions are fun, challenging and confidence boosting. She goes above and beyond the physical aspect of working out and losing weight. She is a true expert in her field! She teaches you to be present and the importance of alignment to avoid injury and maintain a long term practice. I first signed up to train with Linda to lose some pounds in preparation for my upcoming wedding. I had no idea these sessions would also change my life! She always gets the best out of me and opens my mind to my full potential inside and outside the gym. If you are looking to get in shape and live mindfully -- Linda is your girl! She will change your life.

Fantastic experience: Linda is Amazing! She listed to my concerns and developed a workout plan for me to achieve my goals. I have seen great results . She has challenges both my mind and body and I am now able to do workouts I could not do before. Thank you for pushing me to the fullest.

Fantastic experience: Linda is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about training and health counseling! Her strategy really works and she pushes you hard, but it's all so that clients can learn and grow so they become self sufficient, rather than "clients for life." I trained with Linda for close to a year and she helped guide me to continue to reach my physical and health goals. Overall I highly recommend Linda and her knowledge - she will become not only a trainer and coach, but also a friend!

Fantastic experience: Linda took the time to listen to my concerns and then developed the perfect plan for me. Workouts are well planned and always changing. I never get bored. Each week I look forward to learning something new and challenging my mind and body. Sense of humor is a must for me, Linda always delivers. From time to time I’ll get a motivational text from Linda. She seems to know when I need the extra push to reach my potential. You will not be disappointed in Linda!

Fantastic experience: Linda is very motivating and knowledgeable. I enjoy working with Linda. I highly recommend Well Taken Care Of!

Fantastic experience: Linda is amazing. She pushes you to your limits yet is mindful of any injuries you may have. I’ve had different trainers in the past Linda has been the best I’ve worked with.

Fantastic experience: After the start of my journey, I seeked a personal trainer and was paired with Linda. Already 10lbs down, Linda pushed me to my limit and encouraged me not to stop until I finished “a set.” She has taught me to not be so hard on myself and that it’s a journey not a destination. Hearing her words have boosted me with a slight self-confidence I didn’t really have much of. Within a month of working with Linda, I lost another 10lbs. How exciting is it to see results and actually start to feel like your getting somewhere! I will definitely train with her again very soon:) Thanks Linda<3

Fantastic experience: Linda has been a great help to me with changing my diet. Her follow up has also been outstanding. As a resource her knowledge is vast and she has truly taken an interest in my personal health and well being.
