Linda Zeiss

My name is Linda Zeiss . I have been teaching fitness classes for 33 years now . When I began teaching I had 3 boys ages 1, 2 & 3 yrs . I was married and had my own Hair Salon . I pursued a career in fitness because I knew it would help me to keep everything else in my life going ! I wanted to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I always exercised from the time I was a young teen .  

Since 1992 I have worked in many gyms , Jack La Lanne was my first job as a group fitness instructor! At that time you didn’t need a certification!! However after 6 months of my working there all of these industries starting popping up ! We were all told that we now had to become certified. I was so thankful that I learned how to properly teach a safe effective class at that time . Shortly after that Jack la Lanne became Ballys Total Fitness .I have worked at  New York Sports Club’s , Equinox , Lifetime & other smaller gyms , senior centers , schools & country clubs .

After Covid I decided I still love teaching however , I teach in my community and am blessed to be able to make my own schedule and teach the formats I choose . Zoom has been a big part of my business now . I love being able to stay connected to the members I used to teach in person .  I teach hybrid classes a few days a week as well .

Through the years I have attended many workshops . I have held many certifications . The ones I choose to continue to keep updated are my AFFA primary group cert . , CPR , Pilates , Aqua & Cycling . I did enjoy and still use the knowledge from all of my other training’s & certifications till this day .  

My ultimate goal is to continue to motivate, mentor & move !!! I absolutely love my life today & feel very blessed.
