Why Choose A Certified Trainer?

Certified personal trainers for seniorsA certified trainer must have a comprehensive physical or health-related educational background, and demonstrate that they possess an understanding and depth of knowledge concerning the body’s response to exercise. People with a degree in kinesiology, exercise science or sports and fitness education understand and can apply the process of functional anatomy, biomechanics and motor behavior.

Functional anatomy is defined as how our body moves in order to accomplish daily activities of living; biomechanics refers to how physics relates to sport, motion, resistance and momentum. Motor behavior is how our brain translates messages into physical skills such as lifting weights, running, balancing.

If the trainer does not have formal education in this area, they must possess a fitness certification from a reputable fitness agency, such as NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine), ACE (American Council on Exercise) or ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine). These organizations are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), which is the benchmark for certification programs.

“In nursing, we are trained to anticipate any potential occurrences and I am trying to think in advance for her well-being.”

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!

My trainer has encouraged me all the way, she's my biggest cheerleader. And she is so knowledgeable. She knew exactly which three exercises I could try using the five-pound weights with and which I should not try quite yet.

Lori, I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have found you. What a gift your work is to the senior community.

Nancy

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.

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.

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!

Miriam Brauner

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.

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,
Samuel Strain II NASM/CES

 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!

Rebecca

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.

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!!

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 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. - Bryan

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.

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.
