Personal Fitness Training By Linda De Maria
I founded No finish Line after recognizing a growing need within our mature community to focus on their future decades. We’re living longer, now we have to be sure we’re living well. Whether you’re returning to exercise or beginning for the first time, No Finish Line is where strength, longevity, and independence are built — one step at a time. This is where your journey begins. —building your future has no expiration date. Strength isn’t only about lifting more weight, it about longevity, independence and quality of life. It’s about movement which includes flexibility, stability, strength, and a strong core. The core is your power house. When you are strong , balance improves, posture aligns and everyday activities feel easier and safer.
Our sessions together are designed to lift your energy, improve your strength, and leave you feeling better than when you started.
I’ve spent more than 3 decades in the fitness field training individuals through class structure, large and small groups and one on one sessions. Over the years one thing remains constant:
When exercise feels good, people stay consistent — and consistency changes everything.
It’s what allows us to move with confidence, recover from setbacks, and continue doing the things we love. I’ve seen this in my clients - and I live it myself.
“There is No finish Line when it comes to exercise”
No finish Line was born from a phrase I’ve shared with clients for decades. Exercise isn’t about an endpoint; it’s about continuing, adapting, strengthening, and staying engaged in life.

Linda’s approach to training
My belief in functional training is simple, it works - It focuses on movements that help you with everyday tasks more easily, such as lifting, bending, and getting up from the floor safely. Skiing, hiking, swimming, sports in general, if that’s your thing, you will be pleasantly surprised when activities becomes so much easier
Linda’s Bio
I moved to Portland to be close to my grandchildren, and quickly fell in love with how naturally this city supports an active outdoor lifestyle. With the coast nearby, Mt. Hood and the amazing Columbia River Gorge so close for hiking and skiing, as well as many beautiful parks woven throughout the city, Portland makes it easy to stay connected to nature. My love of the outdoors was shaped over decades living at Lake Tahoe, where staying active wasn’t a trend—it was a way of life. Many of my clients became close friends, sharing a deep appreciation of nature, health, and living fully at every stage of life. That same philosophy guides my work today: movement that supports real living, strength, and long-term independence.

Linda is a terrific with all ages and physical conditions. She is very attentive to correct form thus preventing injuries and getting the full benefit of each exercise. With her help, I was quickly able to go from sitting behind a desk to participating in century bike rides.
Nancy, retired VP Human Resources
My wife and I have worked with Linda for the past 2 years. Having worked with many trainers across the country we can say Linda is one of the best. She quickly figures out what each individual need and draws upon her deep knowledge of exercises, equipment and motivational techniques to tailor a program adapted to each person’s needs. She trained us in private sessions as well as in ski conditioning classes. Regardless, she brings the same commitment to each session. Linda ensures each individual gets attention and exercise adaptations for peak performance no matter what your level of fitness is. We would highly recommend Linda. She is the best.
