Mom always says, "Dad worked out with his trainer a week before he passed". It was a blessing that he was in good physical shape up almost until the end and we are very grateful for that. We are so grateful for you and the wonderful trainers Dad had. We were truly blessed.

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!

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!

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.

"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."

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 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!!

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.

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'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.

My wife has Alzheimer’s, and Lori has been her personal trainer for nearly a year, and in that time she has also become a personal friend. Lori has been kind and patient with my wife, and I have complete confidence with her care, which provides me with regular, much needed respite. More importantly, my wife’s doctors are continually impressed with my wife’s balance and overall physical condition, all thanks to Lori.

Lori has been helping my father who is living in an assisted living community.
She has helped him get out of his wheelchair and use his walker. My father and I are both grateful for the wonderful work she has done. But more than that she serves as a champion for my dad where he is staying. She encourages the staff to let my father use his walker more often and makes sure when she is there that all else is well.

Lori is one of the best, if not the best trainer I have worked with. I say this because: For the longest time I could not find a trainer who worked with “Young Seniors”. Lori immediately understood that I was not ready for chair exercises but wanted a workout that is appropriate for a 60+ women who has exercised on and off her whole life. Thank you Lori for giving me back the desire to exercise.

Lori is an outstanding personal trainer! I found her website online when my husband Bill was looking for a trainer to work with him on specific fitness goals. When we first met with Lori, it was apparent to both of us that she had the credentials, ability, attitude, and approach that fit Bill’s requirements. She is very skillful at designing a program of exercises that are just right for the individual. Also, she has a wonderful approach and personality, is very enthusiastic, supportive, upbeat, and easy to work with, and is very motivating!

Lori worked with my mother, Katherine, 82 for over four years. She had Parkinson's disease and balance was a big problem for her. Lori was a great help to her with balance and flexibility. She also worked with her on her speech which was a challenge with Parkinson's. Mom always looked forward to Lori's visits and I couldn't have been happier with her results. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Since I don’t live in the area, Lori has provided another set of eyes on the ground as to what is happening in the house. She has kept my client motivated to stay active and helps with strength for an 80-year-old. Lori has been a lifesaver.
