Join us for a special Seated Workouts for Injury or Disability chair cardio class featuring triple amputee Linda Olson!

Friends,

It is my great pleasure to introduce you to a VERY special friend, colleague, and personal coaching client Linda Olson. Linda K. Olson, MD, FACR, is an author and motivational speaker with a Get Out and Go message. She has been a triple amputee since 1979 and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2015.
