Linda Klena

Integrated Balance Certified Instructor
My degree is in Exercise Science and I have been a personal trainer for 25 years. My pilates journey did not start until I decided to compete in a Natural Bodybuilding competition, where I won my weight classes 2 years in a row. The process of bodybuilding is its strength focus. The emphasis on the aesthetics of muscle development, balance and symmetry, needed another training method to complement the goal of a fully developed physique. That is when I turned to the Pilates method. After using the method to train for 2 years, I knew I need to pursue it further. I obtained full apparatus training through Integrated Balance, which fused a contemporary approach with the classical background to encompass the pilates method. I attend numerous seminars and workshops yearly to keep my technique sharp and my skills abundant.I enjoy teaching the pilates method, where the work never gets easier; it just gets more intense! Of course that is only accomplished by doing the method correctly! I am also certified in TRX, Spin and trained in Yoga and Barre. I have been married for 32 years and have raised two wonderful sons. Being empty nesters, my husband and I, now devote our time to our 2 Great Danes and have just recently moved to Eagle after being residents of SE Boise for 32 years.
