What perceptions can we change about how we frame discomfort and gratification? Getting to the “other side of pain” is not easy. I was told it was a good thing I was in shape before my hip replacement surgery. I...What Do All Those Words Mean? A Glossary for Exercise and Movement

Important terms to improve your concentration, focus and results during your fitness sessions. I’ve been in the presence of trainers who use “big words” when they explain a movement pattern. For instance, if a client is instructed to move “latterly”,...What Do You Mean I Can’t Walk Up the Stairs?

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,

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 Daniel. Daniel is a wonderful trainer who comes to the house three times a week to help support mom’s recovery. Daniel 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!
