Linda Bracken Personal Trainer

Fantastic experience: I've been attending Linda's classes for a number of years now, and I highly recommend her. I first started after having my second child, feeling the need for personalised training to get back into shape and build strength. After two months of Pilates and TRX training, I felt fantastic! My fitness improved hugely, and now I'm able to cycle long distances and participate in other sports such as rock climbing. Linda adapts the training to your needs, turning weaknesses into strengths. There is never a dull day at Lair ;) Be ready for a lot of laughs, some tough workouts, and plenty of sweating... and you'll be able to reach new heights - I did anyway!

Fantastic experience: I attended classes with Linda many years ago for about 2 years. I loved the energy, the focus , the adrenaline rush, the professionalism nd the fun. I fell off the bandwagon- life got in the way but I recently returned. Hallelujah!!! It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. I’m more motivated, I’m stronger, I’m more driven . I feel healthier both mentally nd physically . I have that drive back! Thank you Linda for inspiring me and for being the inspiration that I needed!

Fantastic experience: Linda is extremely supportive and effective at what she does, I always felt understood, motivated and clear about how I was going to achieve my fitness and nutrition goals. Our check ins and my fitness plan really helped me stay on track with my personal goals. Thank you so much Linda!

Fantastic experience: Due to past bad experiences, I had been turned off PTs, that is until I met Linda. She is fantastic in more ways than one. She is encouraging, knowledgeable, kind, respectful and true. She plans sessions with exercises that are adapted to fit around my body’s can and can nots, and if an exercise is not possible, she knows a way to make it possible without causing injury. I have been attending her for nearly a year and would highly recommend her, I have lost weight, built muscle, continue to tone and am loving life again. Thank you Linda.

Fantastic experience: Linda is an excellent instructor. Extremely knowledgeable, experienced and motivating. The small class sizes means everyone gets plenty of attention and exercises can be individually adjusted to allow for injury etc. I highly recommend Linda.

Fantastic experience: Having suffered from back pain for as long as I can remember and nearly having to rely on medication long term Linda has me back on track in a short space of time. The small classes give you the personal training experience. She adapts all exercises to your abilities and capabilities. Because of her high level of expertise she can spot and correct the smallest of issues with posture and technique. I look forward to her classes every week. You get to chat and laugh while engaging in classes that are full of exciting and challenging activities. I can't recommend Linda enough.

Fantastic experience: Linda is one of the most remarkable women I have ever met. I have been going to TRX classes for five years now and even though I liked each one for different reasons, it's The Lair I've felt most at home in. Linda is the most educated, skilled and knowledgeable person in the fitness game. She is a stickler for good form and has educated me so much on my personal fitness. She is committed to keeping her classes small, so you continually feel like you are getting focused, one on one instruction. The atmosphere is fun and supportive, and she always challenges me to push as hard as I can. I practically stalked her until I could get in to The Lair and now I'm hers for keeps! *evil laugh*

Fantastic experience: Linda's classes are excellent value. Classes are kept deliberately small to ensure you get personal attention from someone who really knows what they're talking about.

Fantastic experience: Small classes, high level of personal attention. Highly motivating! If you want to achieve more than you think possible, go to Linda!

Fantastic experience: Linda is an excellent instructor. I really like that her classes are small so it almost feels like a personal training session every time. The classes are hard work but you see the benefits quite quickly. Linda goes above and beyond to make sure that we all get the most out of each session - she's great to motivate in a fun and good-humoured way. My Pilates session at the Lair is one of the highlights of my week.

Fantastic experience: If you would like to change the way you feel and look then just book yourself in to Linda Bracken as she provides a lot more than a gym it’s exercisecology mind and body when you pass through the gates the therapy begins can’t recommend this lady highly enough.posted by Brendan Duhig

Fantastic experience: I love Linda's class. Classes are small so she will work you to the level you can go to while trying to push you further (to the dark side...)

Fantastic experience: Pilates and TRX are sacrosanct in our calendar at home! Everything else revolves around Linda’s classes. Linda is a very knowledgeable, caring and motivational instructor. The small classes ensure a very personal touch to training and instruction. The results are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Without Linda's expert tuition and instruction I would not have recovered so well from a back injury. I attribute my current trength and fitness to my regular Pilates class. I would be lost without it.

Fantastic experience: Amazing different in my life from a size 16/18 to a 12 positive thinking all the way

Fantastic experience: Having trained on my own for extended periods I got the opportunity at the start of this summer to join the chosen few and train with Linda .I have noticed a huge improvement in my form and flexibility. As an OCR (Obstacle Course Racer)core strength is of huge importance and I have noticed a significant improvement since starting with Linda .l would highly recommend Linda's training programmes for advancing fitness and strength.

Fantastic experience: If you’re serious about making an improvement to your personal fitness and strength, at every level, this is the place. Small class size with seriously well-defined goals. Professional tuition and a focus on delivery of life-changing results. You can spend the same amount of time elsewhere, but you will not achieve the same results as The Lair. Delighted to endorse Linda, and hanging firmly onto my own slot here :-)

Fantastic experience: Having been lucky enough to get into Linda's classes, I could never leave! She is highly motivating, her classes are fun, intense and are always different. The small class size means you are getting the benefits of a personal training session as well as having the craic! You work hard but you get results. Highly, highly recommend Linda!

Fantastic experience: The beauty of Linda’s classes being small means you get virtually undivided attention. The classes are highly motivated but good fun too. Would highly recommend Linda.

Fantastic experience: Linda is super woman, she runs amazing small group sessions. She makes the sessions so much fun and the results are amazing too. Highly recommend for all levels of ability.

Fantastic experience: Very motivational
