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.

Thank you for all your help with Marilyn (and Larry of course). I know you and your trainer really cared about them and that means a lot. I truly believe that Marilyn's life would have been a lot shorter without our little team of support people working to improve her situation as much as we could.

I've been working with Lori and her excellent staff since 2011, and my experience has always been positive! Most recently, her personal trainers she's assigned have been a very good "fit" with my clients. The clients have special needs, my older female client has Alzheimer's, and my younger male client had physical disabilities. In addition to the many benefits to their physical health, the trainers have served as friendly visitors, and occasionally have reported concerns regarding their personal care and emotional health, which has been very helpful. Lori and her staff have always been professional and courteous, and I am always kept informed of progress. And I know they really care about my clients, which makes all the difference!

The last time I spoke with my mom she was just so happy with Lori Michiel Fitness. She told me that without your training she wouldn’t be able to move as she well as she is doing now.
My mom is doing very well. She’s getting back into her ceramics studio and making more stuff and seeing her friends.

I am very impressed with Lori Michiel Fitness. It has improved the quality of life for my 87-year-old mother-in-law who suffers from moderate dementia and had become weak and unstable due to spending too much time sleeping and being sedentary. From the very thorough initial evaluation to the now twice weekly workout sessions, my mother-in-law is really having fun with the exercises with her personal trainer; I can see the benefits of these sessions. Additionally, I really appreciate the excellent communication with Lori, who always responds in a timely fashion and sends weekly email updates about progress being made. I highly recommend!!

Mom's doing great and she really likes her trainer. She's so much more comfortable now and not scared to move - she even rode the exercycle a little in the building gym with her senior helper person the other day, so her trainer has really gotten her self-confidence back. She's also moving better. I can see it, though I'm sure she can't as much. And most importantly, her trainer has done a great job putting her mind at ease about the little aches she will feel from working out. She's not worrying every sore muscle is a heart attack anymore.

For the past seven years, my clients have reaped the benefits of working with Lori Michiel and her team. My clients are living with less pain, greater strength, endurance and flexibility; fewer falls as well as less depression and more energy for life. Speaking as a Professional Geriatric Care Manager, physical exercise is an integral component of a Care Plan, especially for my clients with health issues. Moving the body is essential to physical, emotional and cognitive well-being and Lori and her trainers know how to safely and effectively engage my clients in an exercise program that is appropriate for their needs.

Lori, In a few days it will be one year since I began with your program. I can say now, without a doubt, that I am in a much better place, in so many ways, than I was one year ago. I still remember the day you visited me and Mary and explained what it was that you work to do. (She still marvels about the balloon hat you wore that day.) Your suggestion to pair me with your trainer was spot on. Sometimes I wonder what she does to stay positive when I turn into "grumpy old man"...It was our daughter, Robin, who found out about you, and the rest is history...When it all began, I, as a classically trained cynic, expected to go a few months and then leave it all behind. Just goes to show you what can happen when you work and believe. Hope you're doing well.

My family engaged the services of Lori Michiel for my 77-year-old mother. I was very pleased with Lori's overall professionalism, starting off with in an in-depth health questionnaire, and then physical assessment. She was very engaging, personable and easy to work with. Her approach with my mother (a difficult person) was always right on target, and she was encouraging, positive and upbeat. She would give us reports after each training session to keep us apprised of what went on. I would definitely recommend Lori Michiel to anyone seeking personal training sessions for those over age 50, as she is quite knowledgeable and experienced with the health issues of this population, and appears to have a natural affinity for these individuals.

I enthusiastically recommend Lori Michiel Fitness! My 80 year old Mom had a cyst on her spinal column, and underwent a difficult spine surgery. We knew she had a long road of recovery ahead. Thankfully, as we left Villa Gardens, a Skilled Nursing Facility, they recommended Lori Michiel Fitness! Lori came to Mom’s house and thoroughly interviewed us, listened carefully to Mom's needs, read her neurosurgeon’s reports, and matched us with a Rehab Trainer that perfectly, gently helped Mom safely move and stretch. On top of that, Mom really liked the trainer and enjoyed their sessions. Lori kept in touch throughout Mom’s treatment as a liaison between us and the trainer. She conveyed any concerns we had to the trainer and helped make adjustments to Mom’s program. Lori is a gracious, warm-hearted woman with a passion for helping seniors. She truly gave us her whole heart as as we went through a very challenging time.

I've become more confident in pushing my limits as I learned techniques from Lori that were customized to my age and condition. Before, I would pull back from activities for fear of pain or further injury, but she taught me how to build muscle and stamina progressively and safely. Confidence is built on a series of successes; The Lori Method™ works!
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 is a talented, innovative teacher /trainer. She has helped me better how my body works -- and what is needed to keep it moving! She constantly works around limitations with creative ways to accomplish the exercises and movements needed to build more strength and resilience. In addition to helping me with pain issues, she's helped me become more aware of how important posture and balance are. She's led me through provided me with methods to improve both. She also shares resources regarding my particular pain issues as well as general good health and body maintenance.

Lori and her team were outstanding from A to Z. The personal initial evaluation, the planning, the matching of a trainer to her needs and much more was all completed in a professional and warm manner. My 96-year-old mom benefited greatly for more than a year of training that was delivered with a highly personalized caring touch. She enjoyed the sessions and was always looking forward to them. I give Lori and her team my highest possible recommendation.

I just had to tell you, this morning I did three exercises, three repetitions each using FIVE pound weights!!! It was hard, but certainly not impossible. I am so thrilled and excited. I can't remember the last time I was able to lift five pounds - other than dragging in a five-pound bag of groceries from the car! I started in January, barely able to lift two-pound weights and now, eight months later, I can lift five pounds.

I contacted Lori after researching several personal trainers for my mom online. I was very pleased with the whole process. To start, Lori spent the time needed to learn about my mom and our goals and objectives for her. She took the time to really understand my mother's needs and situation so that she could match us with the appropriate trainer. A trainer was selected to work with my mom and although I was not there for the sessions, I heard everything went very well during the training sessions. Both Lori and her trainer are punctual, care about their clients and the constant follow-though shows that they are not in this to make money, but genuinely care about their clients well-being and results. If you are looking for quality service and professionals who are gentle and actually care about your needs and results, I highly recommend.
