I’m a Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist specializing in Cardiac Rehabilitation, with these professional Certifications:
- ACSM CEP – American College of Sports Medicine – Clinical Exercise Physiologist
- CSEP CEP – Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology – Clinical Exercise Physiologist
I have 15 years experience working in the Health and Fitness field. In the last 10 years, I specialized in Cardiac Rehabilitation, teaching people with heart disease how to exercise and regain their health.
Heart patients are not the only folks I work with. The great thing about being a Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist is that I am able to work with an array of clientele, from healthy individuals who just want to stay healthy, to individuals with medical conditions like Heart Disease, Diabetes or other diseases that may make it difficult to exercise. I work with anyone who is motivated to get moving!
I offer one on one personalized health and fitness programs, personal training sessions, and group exercise classes by video conferencing from my home in Lake Tahoe, California.
Here is what some of my patients say…
“She’s our Ray of Sunshine!”
Being able to say that about someone who puts you through your paces is testimony in itself!
We came to Ling about 4 years ago in order to develop a preventative healthcare workout program as we moved into our senior years. We both have hyper-tension, family histories of heart disease, and jobs that keep us at a desk.
Ling took into consideration where we were at, our capabilities and our present physical health to create a challenging and enjoyable personal workout program.
She makes us love to sweat! It’s how we now start our days! Her smile and pleasant, professional demeanor encourage us to want to exercise!
The ability to have Ling’s personally supervised on-line video workouts during the pandemic was innovative and frankly, life saving during the pandemic. Her on-line exercise program continues to provide us with the convenience of being able to workout from wherever we are in the world.
Even though we are miles away, it is like we are working out at the same gym. She has helped us gain physical strength at home with a few weights and our own bodies.
We are amazed at Ling as a person, and an award-winning athlete. We love to cheer her on as she rides the waves with her surfing competitions and passions. She motivates us to want to challenge ourselves! We consider her a friend and part of our team.
We have never felt healthier!

“Very surprising how good I feel”
I didn’t have serious health problems that I’m aware of, but a few years ago I was gaining more weight than I wanted to and developing mysterious aches and pains. So I contacted Ling and did a video conferencing session.
I knew right away from the questions she asked about my health and lifestyle, her calm and straightforward manner, the confidence she has in her skills and insight, and the simple exercises and stretches she recommended, that she was an expert in her field.
Very quickly I reduced or stopped my weight gain, and my whole body feels so much better, just from doing a few simple exercises and stretches in the morning.
I highly recommend Ling Pai to anyone who wants to feel better and stay healthy without having to beat yourself up at the gym.

“Zoom sessions just as effective as the gym”
I have known Ling for last five years. She was my exercise physiologist at Pulse Cardiology. I was recommended to the program due to my high blood pressure along with other health issues.
Ling was very welcoming, professional and diligent. She helped set up a customized exercise program focusing on cardiac health, weight loss, muscle building and gradual tolerance increase. When I started the program in 2018 I was just able to walk half hour at a time. Now I am able to walk for 4-5 hours per day (in separate walk cycles).
Slowly, I have been able to get an excellent control on my weight, improving cardiac health and blood pressure with a combination of medicine, diet control and regular exercise.
When the pandemic hit in March 2020, Ling was quickly able to move to zoom workout sessions which were just as effective as the gym sessions.
She helped keep up my motivation and in staying true to myself with continuing with the workout. She would follow up regularly, especially when I would start slipping on my exercise sessions.
I attribute my significantly improved health to the dedicated and professional guidance and work with Ling. I look forward to continuing my cardiac fitness and healthy living journey with Ling’s guidance and help.
