Mary H. has worked in gyms in Boston and Los Angeles and has had her own personal training business in Los Angeles since 1994.
Though active her whole life from baton to jazz dance to swim team (even cheerleading!), it took joining a gym after Boston College in 1984 to realize how to turn a way of life into a career. Mary started teaching aerobics and doing personal training part time after work because her job as a computer programmer was making her feel too sedentary.
Then, in 1992, she moved to California from her native Massachusetts and became a full-time personal trainer and fitness instructor. For four years Mary ran the aerobics department for a woman’s gym and used that platform to create programs like “Countdown to the Millennium” healthy lifestyle program. Driven to learn more for herself and her clients, she received her Master’s in Public Health from UCLA in 2004 and continues to fight childhood and adult obesity.

Sam Strain – Trainer
Customer care is of the utmost concern to her. She is very knowledgeable about personal training and the workings of the functional human body from a bio-mechanical point of view. She is compassionate about all her clients as they all get her personal touch.
I would feel most comfortable recommending her to anyone that is in need of her services.
Respectfully,
Samuel Strain II NASM/CES

My mom is doing very well. She’s getting back into her ceramics studio and making more stuff and seeing her friends.

After my mom’s strokes, we knew we needed to help her become active and improve her balance. She didn’t have a good habit of any exercise and none of the local senior classes were appropriate for her.
I’m so glad we called Lori Michiel Fitness. Lori came to the house, met with my mom, listened to her needs, took a careful medical history and matched her with a trainer. He is a wonderful trainer who comes to the house three times a week to help support mom’s recovery. The trainer really understands senior fitness. He gives the whole family peace of mind that we are doing what we can to prevent another fall and keep mom active. Lori checks in with us regularly to make sure the therapy continues to be appropriate for mom. We’re very grateful to her.

Lori's principles of dynamic stretching revolutionized the way I approach stretching. I've seen a great increase in flexibility and have even built additional strength using her techniques.

Lori and her team provide personal training for my elderly mother who has Alzheimer's and dementia, as part of her overall care. They customized a program addressing her needs, including balance and mobility. She really likes her two trainers and looks forward to her sessions. I highly recommend Lori Michiel Fitness!
