Assessment/Evaluation

Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAR-Q)

Questionnaire before workout A Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) is one of several assessment tools required to be completed prior to meeting a new client for their evaluation. We want your physical activity experience to be safe, fun and rewarding. As you plan to become more active, increase your aerobic capacity and strength endurance, Lori asks you answer these preliminary questions. This questionnaire accompanies the ‘customized’ Health Fitness Questionnaire sent when we start planning your program.

 

  1. Has your doctor ever said you have a heart condition or high blood pressure?
  2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?
  3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you are not doing physical activity?
  4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?
  5. Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?
  6. Is your doctor currently prescribing any drugs for your blood pressure or heart condition?
  7. Do you know any other reason why you should not perform physical activity?
If you have answered YES to any of the above and do not wish to consult with your physician prior to your first personal training session, you will need to complete a Physicians Approval Letter. Otherwise, we can help you present an informal letter to your physician for a prescription to exercise.

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!

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.

Pamela

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 came to your program literally broken and battered from long-standing health conditions (I'm 86 with Parkinson’s disease). With your trainer’s patience, creativity, goal-setting and motivation techniques I am making good progress. Take the plunge, people, and give yourself some extra bounce to the ounce as you start the New Year.

After an extensive search looking particularly for a training service that could work creatively with older clients, we were blessed to discover Lori Michiel Fitness and her team.  From our introduction on the website to a detailed reciprocal introductory interview to a match with one of her very special trainers, it was clear that she and her team understood our needs, met every expectation, and at the most reasonable cost. Without hesitation our family recommends her at the highest possible level of satisfaction.

I want to thank you so much for the donation you gave to MAPS Charities on my mother, Shirley’s, behalf. What a kind gesture and what a worthy charity.

Your fitness program has really helped my mom!! I saw her this week and she is stronger and her balance has really improved. She got up from her chair so much easier!!!

Best news, she's very happy that she started working out and she adores Sam and Rita.She actually looks forward to it.

It's great to have a job that makes a difference in people’s lives. What a blessing you have been to all of us. Thank you so so much for all you do.

Best wishes to you for a beautiful new year.

Bryan

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.

I’ve been coming to Lori’s class. It has helped me so much, sometimes I don’t realize how much! 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!

Ann (Maine)

 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!

Lori is incredibly responsive, always quick to return my calls and emails. Her communication is clear and consistent, and she follows through on everything she promises.

Most importantly, she matched my mom with a trainer who’s a perfect fit—skilled, kind, reliable, and helps keep my mom motivated!

I highly recommend Lori's service to any senior citizen or sedentary retiree.

Rebecca

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.

Sam Strain – Trainer

I have had the pleasure of working for/with Lori Michiel Fitness since June 2016. I have found Lori to be conscientious, thorough, polite and a joy to work with. Lori has demonstrated numerous times that she understands that we are in the “service industry” and prides herself on giving the best service possible.
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,

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, 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.

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!

I recently reached out to Lori in the hopes of connecting with and learning from professionals with expertise in the space of active aging, and boy is she amazing! I am filled with gratitude for her openness and willingness to share her insights and expertise in this growing industry. Her knowledge of fitness coupled with deep expertise in senior health creates the perfect combination to support her client’s journey to improved health and wellbeing. Not to mention her passion and enthusiasm for supporting health and fitness for seniors is infectious. Thank you, Lori!

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!!

She is getting stronger! Yay! To be more specific, mom can bend all the way over and pick something up off the floor, lift her legs higher, comb nearly all of her hair independently, and it’s only been a month! And now she can fold her own laundry!

When my aunt’s strength began declining, I started looking around for gyms or trainers for those with physical limitations. I found Lori’s website and she had just what I was looking for. She conducted a thorough assessment and set my aunt up with a wonderful trainer. In addition to knowing how to physically help the client, she is really skilled at matching personalities. Now in our second year as clients, we are really satisfied with all aspects of Lori’s approach. I highly recommend Lori’s services.

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.
