About
I am currently looking for 2 consistent weekly clients who want results- training virtually, in home, or at 1520 Richardson Dr. apartment gym. PLEASE NOTE: I am based in DALLAS, TX. I’m known as The Chronic Pain Trainer because I specialize in helping people exercise safely, reduce pain flare-ups, and improve the physique. Using the NASM model, I create effective programs for beginners, seniors, chronic pain sufferers, and those recovering from injury. My passion for movement began through basketball, golf, distance running, and powerlifting at Texas A&M. I started personal training in 2009 while studying Biology and chose to focus on the preventive, holistic side of health rather than traditional medicine. After undergoing major back surgery in 2019 for a congenital tethered spinal cord, I gained firsthand experience with recovery and rebuilding strength. Today, my mission is to help people reduce chronic pain and inflammation through corrective exercise and functional movement. My training emphasizes posture, alignment, core strength, mobility, stability, and pain-free movement. I enjoy teaching simple-looking movements that deliver powerful results at home, virtual, or in apartment gyms. Specialties: Corrective Exercise, Pain-Free Movement, Mobility & Flexibility, Posture & Biomechanics, Core Training, Balance, Strength Training, Muscle Building, Powerlifting, Golf Fitness Performance, Functional Fitness, and Group Training. I incorporate a wide variety of portable equipment—including TRX, kettlebells, dumbbells, resistance bands, pilates ball, BOSU, foam rollers, and more—to create customized, effective workouts. I look forward to helping you move better, feel better, and achieve your goals.

I can't figure out how this "star" rating scale works, is 5 stars the highest or is 1 star the highest? Anyway, all I have to say about Lina is that she is great! First and foremost she truly cares about the client and it wasn't just me, I witnessed this same commitment with others as well. Second, she is very knowledgeable and experienced and demonstrated the ability to adjust nicely to my individual needs and goals, giving special attention to post-surgical rehab of my left knee as well as the overall injury related conditions due to secondary loss of strength, mobility, flexibility, balance and functionality throughout. Probably the most important aspect of training with Lina was more than just acting as a constant source of external accountability, she was a real coach, recognizing the importance of SUPPORTING THE DESIRE TO REGAIN A SENSE OF MY OWN INNATE MOTIVATION AND SELF-DISCIPLINE. Despite multiple set-backs due to other intermittent physical issues, she never gave up on me and never let me give up on myself! Having lost over 14 total inches, I must also speak highly of her skills with meal prep. I couldn't have done it without her! Exercise alone is good, dieting alone is good. Combine the two with Lina's expertise, you can't go wrong! As a matter of fact, it's the only way to go! I suspect that Lina is a rare find among the zillions of trainers to chose from. I was very fortunate that someone else shared her contact information with me. If you have stumbled upon this review by accident, don't waste a minute nor a second, call her now! You may be fortunate to get on her schedule before someone else takes the empty spot I leave as I go off traveling in Europe. It would be nice to say "Honey, I shrunk the trainer...." and pack her along. LOL!!

FANTASTIC! More than just a personal trainer... she is my physical therapist. Lina is a fantastic listener and goes out out of her way to check in and provide support between workouts. She has a very hands on approach which I like. She's got all the fun toys and gear that make working out fun and exciting. Don't get me wrong, she will make you sweat, but she's have a smile on her face as she tells you to do "one more" rep. Lina, is always learning new tips and tricks that she shares with me to make my workouts the best experience. I've seen a huge improvement in my posture (what I wanted to work on) and more strength in my hip (old sport industry) along with over all feeling and looking fit and balanced. Very please with the attention that Lina gives. She's even working with my fiance; helping him over come a very bad knee injury...and because of Lina, he is now able to touch his toes and squat with ZERO knee pain! I would totally recommend her to EVERYONE I know who it looking for an AMAZING trainer!

Lina really knows her stuff. She is very knowledgeable and very capable of putting that knowledge to work for her clients. She helps a client set reasonable goals and helps the client reach those goals. She herself has body building and weight management goals, so she well understands the client's struggles and able to coach him through them. The only wrong decision about Lina is not to hire her as a first preference.
