“ Linda is encouraging, helping me to become physically, mentally, emotionally, and nutritionally strong. Her energy, passion, and caring nature makes my wellness journey fun and positive. She is the total package ... trainer, nutritionist, life coach, friend, and mentor.” ~ Valerie Valesky
"I met Linda during a time where I was really struggling to get back on track to find my way to a healthier, happy self after going through a catastrophic health event with my husband for over a year. I was tired and knew it was time to focus on my health. I took a six week challenge and realized the then owner of that gym put me in way over my abilities . But then I met Linda, she was the instructor at my second class. I could feel energy and positive vibes coming into the room because of her presence. She drew me in and I knew she was going to be my coach.
I approached her after the group class and asked if we could start working out together, and also - did she think she could find someone else for me to share her sessions with. Within a week, I had a workout partner who was my age and struggling with weight as I was. The three of us instantly formed a friendship and bond. But, Linda is just more than a workout coach. She helps you look deep inside your soul, lifts you spiritually, and continues to feed and help you to find your inner strength. Through her I have learned to think more positively, journal my food and try to spread joy to those around me. Through this journey with her I have found a friend, mentor and coach.
If you want someone that will help you find your strength and positivity ~ call Linda. She is a Godsend for me, I know that God brought her into my life for a reason. And, if you are looking for a male coach, her husband Breeze is working with my husband who is trying to regain his strength! Breeze has been a positive influence for my husband as well, his spirit is now uplifted, and he is seeing the world in a different way, coming out of his shell again and living. I attribute a lot of this to the way Breeze cares about his success. What a team! Sweet Strength....let them help you find yours." ~ Robyn P
“All the thanks go to Linda Chandler McDandel and Breeze Timmons. They helped me rehab my shoulder and back. Less than a year ago, all the doctors told me I needed surgery. With the help of Sweet Strength: No Surgery. Only Stronger. Love these people.” ~ Mike Robinson.
"Who knew that when I met and started my coaching/workouts with Linda at Sweet Strength that it would be a life-changing experience? She has the ability to inspire, motivate, and break through old patterns by re-framing any thoughts and language that keep you from being successful in reaching your goals. I love the focus on the total well-being, while still ensuring that your unique physical needs are taken into account! I LOVE this program more than any other I have ever tried. Thank you, Linda !" ~ Christine Murray
"Meeting Linda McDandel was a life changing experience. After 9 months I felt like a different person . . . eating healthier, working out regularly and feeling better now at 59 than ever. Linda has a very unique ability and teaching style. She starts with rebuilding your foundation and gives you a desire to succeed. . . . as great as I feel now, I can not imagine how I will feel a year from now. Thank you, Linda. You are very gifted in what you do, this has been one of the most rewarding experiences ever." ~ Jean Godwin
"Thank you very much for everything you have done for me. You were very supportive and encouraging when I needed it most. Thank you for all of your guidance and for helping me become a better me! In working with you as my Wellness Coach, Personal Trainer and Life Coach, not only did I lose 10 lbs. and become more tone than I’ve ever been in my life (age 55), I also had several breakthroughs with my thought patterns. You worked with me until we got to the root of the problem! Sometimes it was uncomfortable, but well worth it! You are a Personal Trainer, Wellness Coach and Life Coach who motivates, cares about people and sets a good example! I would highly recommend you because you are competent, professional, and very goal oriented for your clients. You are the best in your field!” ~ Tammy Young
"What an awesome training/coaching experience! Linda, you are such an inspiration. I don’t think I have met a more consistently positive person! Always encouraging, always complimenting, always finding good things to focus on. Your outlook on life is so contagious and such a joy to be around! You made me re-look at both my physical body, and what goes on inside as well, ie. what I put in my body (sugar!). You encouraged me to push myself a little harder and to set small goals. You've inspired me to really take care of my “whole” body, inside and out! Getting in touch with you has been a blessing for me! “Sweet Strength” empowered me like never before." ~ Cara Hendrix
"Linda has completely changed my life and the way I view myself. She is encouraging. I never realized how negative I was concerning myself until I started training and coaching with Sweet Strength. But, I have changed my perception of myself and look forward to my sessions, because she truly cares about her clients and I cannot believe how fast the time goes by. I wish every woman could train with her. My family thinks it is one of the best things I have ever done. Thank you Linda for walking beside me and for helping me overcome many challenges. You are absolutely wonderful." ~ Tami Seaborn
"My 'Sweet Strength Story'. I found Linda that December because life wanted it that way! To make me a better me! From the first time I sat down in Linda’s office, I knew she was the right person to help me accomplish what I had set out to do. She was confident, passionate about her work and compassionate on the things women go through concerning their bodies and emotions! The goal was to be healthy: it meant LEARNING how to eat right, taking care of my body as it deserved to be treated . . . I lost 10 lbs. and have lost several inches in my arms, legs, waist and neck! Those numbers don’t do this journey justice! I have been eating the healthiest that I have ever ate my entire life. I have accomplished things that I never thought I would do again. I have now run in 3-5k’s and 1-Mudd Run! . . . it has been no easy journey - WE have managed as team! It’s amazing what can be done when you have the support of someone who simply just understands and is willing to work as hard as you do . . . " ~ Angie Castillo
"As a 37 year old mother of two, I had a set of goals that I hadn’t achieved because of life’s busyness and challenges. I contacted Linda at Sweet Strength, and through our sessions, my goals are becoming more attainable as they were broken down into manageable steps to achieve them and implement them into a new lifestyle. Linda helps her clients become equipped with both the mental and physical tools to achieve results - without being judgmental or critical. Thank you, Linda. You showed me it’s never too late to live a healthy and joyful life! " ~ Lorrie
"There is so much to say about Linda McDandel and Sweet Strength. I have been training with Linda for a year, and have also done personal coaching with her. She is now a great friend and mentor to me, it is so exciting to see how gifted she is in areas of encouraging people to be more healthy. I was battling depression, but Sweet Strength was such a blessing to me. Some of best days during this trying time were after training with Linda. She helped me stay on track, coached me how to change my thinking and gave me great nutritional advice. She is the kind of person who is truly compassionate and cares for her clients. Sweet Strength truly will help women at any age reach their fitness and personal goals." ~ Jessica Arroyo
"I was pretty much at the end of my rope with no idea where to turn. My body had gone terribly downhill over the previous two years, gaining weight while losing muscle power and tone. Plus, I was in pain all the time and had to cut back on work time as I couldn’t stand for eight hours required; some days I couldn’t even walk because of whatever was wrong with my knee. Then I came to Linda, and we decided I could take control of my body. Working with Sweet Strength three times per week, for a few weeks I had a combination of Wellness training and personal training, then I went to all personal training. It’s absolutely amazing how I have improved! Strong all over. My knee is so much better. I’m doing squats and all kinds of things like that! My whole body has changed. My eating habits have changed. My outlook on life is stronger and brighter. I’m determined to never stop taking care of myself again! Sweet Strength taught me so much about foods, my body and about myself ~ mentally and emotionally!" ~ Beth Brunson
"I love my Trainer/Wellness coach. I’m learning so much about exercise and eating! I feel this is one of God's lessons he put in front of me after going through sickness. Linda is there for all people - sick and not sick. You can be thin and still be unhealthy, you can be heavy and need to have someone from the outside look in to help. And - let’s not call it dieting - let’s call it a way of life and do it for life. She is a very Godly woman, and YES she will pray for you and with you." ~ Lynn Schedule
"Linda McDandel could not have shown up into my life at a better time, and I could not have asked for a better life coach . . . in finding my true purpose in life, I was unsure of how to pursue my goals, where to start, what my big dream even really was ~ with Linda's guidance, my faith strengthened, goals became clear, and I landed a dream job working specifically within my passion. If you are willing to open your mind and accept challenges, she will teach you how to overcome and grow through them. The opportunities presented have changed the way I view myself, the world, and the people around me, and will forever have an impact on how I live my life. I can’t wait to see what my future has in store. Thank you, Linda for an amazing journey." ~ Anja Evenson
"I was stuck and lived in daily torment. I knew what the problem was - it was me. I didn’t know what to do about it except to cry out to Jesus for help. I would wake up every morning and ask Jesus, “Please help me lose weight. Please help me go to You rather than food to meet my needs.” I did this for years. I was morbidly obese with nothing to stop me from getting bigger. It was scary. Then, I had happened to have breakfast with a dear friend - Linda McDandel, whom I hadn’t seen in a couple of years. She told me she had started a new business doing wellness coaching and told me a little bit about how it worked. My heart leapt, I dared to think that maybe this was Jesus answering my prayers. I began to meet with Linda totally by faith. She would ask me questions that made me think, really think. She constantly challenged me in my thinking . . . It took a little over three months and I had lost 22 pounds and gone down an unbelievable 45 points on cholesterol. I’m now exercising regularly, doing things I’ve never done before, never thought I could. My husband has commented it is so impressive to him of the total change in my life." ~ JH
"When I began my coaching and training sessions with Linda I was a mess. Really - a big, giant, unfocused, insecure mess. And Linda patiently, lovingly and skillfully guided me in setting attainable goals, encouraging me and helping me to create boundaries, building me up, not tearing me down. When we started working out, it was awesome! She gave me a positive physical outlet for my excess energy to benefit me in all areas. It helped me focus, work towards my goals, and improved my self image. I loved it! It was challenging and fun. I felt energized and strong. And sure, I would gripe a bit sometimes - but she pushed me in a good way. Life changed dramatically for me that year. I had been flailing; with Linda’s help - I began to find me again. Sweet Strength is empowering, encouraging and uplifting . . . because that’s what Linda is. I highly recommend both!"~ Colette Thomas
"I had no direction in life for a long time. Then - I started coaching sessions with Linda. She helped me with self esteem, toxic thoughts, problem solving, and controlling my emotions and fears, thinking outside of the box…just to name a few. In just a short time, I learned that I chose where I am in life today with the ability to change where I am to be where I want to be by setting goals. One of my goals was to start training and I am now. Life does not have to be hard. It is amazing what we can accomplish in life! I have changed in many ways and awake now every morning with an "I Can & Will Do" attitude. I am at peace and am so thankful for Linda and Sweet Strength." ~ Laurie Le Febvre
"Been in and out of gyms my whole adult life; sometimes there would be months in between visits - so I decided to inquire about having a personal trainer to keep me motivated. I had met Linda McDandel over ten plus years ago and knew how dedicated she was to wellness and fitness, and thought she would be the perfect fit. I started training with Linda in the summer of that year and still see her twice a week today. Linda helps me stay focused and inspires me to reach for my goals. I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to her training me during the week. It helps keep me fit, while de-stressed as well. Linda always pushes and drives me to do my best. I believe Linda knows what her client's individual needs are, knows how much to push them to get the results that we are looking for. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Always. It is nice to have someone beside you, to keep you on the right path and be your cheerleader. Always smiling and positive. I consider her not only my personal trainer, but a good friend as well. Thank you, Linda - for keeping me focused and on the path to great fitness and wellness!" ~ Krystle Edwards
