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 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'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 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 went to Lori Michiel because I needed help, especially in walking. In the past I have been doing exercises at least five times a week.
Now I can walk better. Also before I was going up the stairs one step at the time. Now I can go up and down by holding from both rails without a problem. I can go up 120 steps and more.
I continue doing all the exercises and they have given me more strength in all my body.
There aren't any words to say how much Lori and her trainer, therapist changed my life forever. Until today, I do the exercises they taught me.
I will thank them forever.
They changed my life. They can change your life too.

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.

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.

Fate was truly on my side when I came across Lori. I had difficulty finding someone locally to train with, so I looked online for senior fitness — and found Lori Michiel Fitness! Thank goodness for Zoom, and I could do this virtually. During our first phone conversation, I was “smitten” with Lori's genuine, caring, and knowledgeable approach. Of course I hoped she could be my trainer, but that was not possible. However, the trainer I was set up with, has also been an incredible gift. My life has literally changed for the better. Both the trainer and Lori have been there for me, so supportive in many ways. Lori checks in with me regularly - which has been wonderful.
Warm hugs,
Pamela

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.

Now, when I put on my pajamas, I can raise my foot and pull it up and raise my other foot and pull it up, and believe me, I could NOT do that before. Every time it happens, I say, “That’s Lori!” She is helping my body stay in shape.

Lori – I just wanted to put in a plug for you as a trainer. I’ve been very impressed with how you individualize your training and make an effort to get a question answered if you don’t know the answer. Not only did you check out my condition (Fibromyalgia) and how you can help, you sent me an email within the same day as we saw each other. You’re organized and fun to work with. I asked for some cheat sheets so I could practice at home and remember what to do and you had them ready the next time I saw you. You have a great, cheerful attitude. I would recommend you to anyone!

A year ago I was fortunate to find the exceptional Lori Michiel. I can't say enough positives about this company. Foremost is their knowledge and expertise of the aging human body. I began my journey toward fitness on the heels of big life changes: sold our long-time home, moved to a new town, and traveled in an RV for 4 months. Because Lori's trainer and I work together online, I have been able to continue with our twice weekly get-togethers during all this upheaval, and see improvement in my physical well being. In addition to the trust I have in the trainer to monitor my efforts, suggest changes or new strategies when needed, she brings humor and a warm-hearted spirit to my life. From time to time, Lori calls or texts to check in; these are welcome and let's me know she keeps an eye on her clients. Hiring a personal trainer has been one of the best things I've done for myself in a very long time. I feel stronger and more fit. A big hug (virtual) and thank you, Lori!
