From the reviews
If you are looking for an excellent personal trainer, look no further. Linda Donner became my personal trainer last fall and I started with two times a week and ramped up to three times a week. I’ve been with her for 8 months.
Great experience with the instructor, Linda Donner, on her fitness workout program. She puts the students thru a fast paced cardio workout that's guaranteed to get your heart rate up. It doesn't matter what your skill level is, her workouts are set up to give you a full body workout.
Love this martial arts Karate dojo program. If your looking for a Family feel activity environment this is the place to go. The instructor & owner of the dojo Sensei Linda Donner is the best Karate Sensei I have met to date.
This woman owned business, run, and instructed by Sensei Linda Donner , is a Northwest suburban gem! Offering everything from expert and personalized fitness instruction, to Karate for kids of all ages, and adults, to birthday parties, and other celebratory events, the Nisei Dojo is Lake Zurich’s best kept secret!
Your first tai chi class at TKO Nisei Dojo
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
