Bio
Lindsey Cayer
Lina is an incredibly motivating speaker, trainer, and person. I have had the opportunity to hear Lina as a keynote speaker and WOW! Every woman, every PERSON, should hear her story and learn of her passion and strength. I also have been able to train with Lina in pink, silver, and black levels for She Fighter. She constantly motivates me to go above and beyond my initial goals to get faster, stronger, and smarter. She has high expectations, but positively encourages students to reach them through proper training. This fall, Lina came to train my young She Fighter club students. It was wonderful to see her work with the students. She has the personality, humour, and knowledge to truly connect with people of all ages. I can't wait for my next opportunity to work with Lina. She is a truly wonderful human being that has brought so much positivity and confidence to my life. If you have a chance to meet, listen to, or train with Lina, JUMP at the opportunity!

Lina is the founder of SheFighter, an organization that teaches women to defend themselves while empowering them to have a voice in the society. I was honored to have the opportunity to join the SheFighter course and be trained by Lina last month when she visited South Korea. Lina is a great trainer with clear instructions and on-point techniques. More importantly, she is such an inspiration to all of us. She is passionate about empowering women, physically and mentally. Training with her did just that for all of us.Thanks Lina for this great opportunity! Go SheFighters!
