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.

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.”

Kind Words from our Clients

Steven A. Vasilev

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.

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.

I am so grateful to have found you and all the work you went through to hook me up with a trainer.



Everything is going great. I'm so much stronger than I was when I started. My trainer is wonderful - I like it that she increases the difficulty of what I'm doing at just the right pace - challenging but doable.


By the way - I've graduated to 3 pound weights and barely have to hold the chair at all for balance. Little steps for some - huge for me.

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.

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

Ann (Maine)

A year ago I was fortunate to find the exceptional Lori Michiel and her talented trainer, Ashley. 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 Ashley 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 Ashley 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 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 and Ashley!

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!

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 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,
Samuel Strain II NASM/CES

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 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!!

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.

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.

Rich S., Teacher

I am a 60-plus-year-old male born with Spina Bifida. I have been a client of Lori’s since 2009, her program of exercise, diet advice and strength training has enabled me to regain my stamina and correct flaws in my walking gait. Through Lori’s program, I have been able to realize quantum leaps in strength, walking and endurance.

Lori is amazing! She can get seniors to do things they never thought they could do again. She works on their balance and fitness. Her classes have the largest attendance of any other class in our community.

I first hired Lori as my personal trainer in 2009. My goal was to bare my arms at my daughter’s wedding. Well, the wedding has come and gone (and bare I did), but the workouts continue. I feel healthier. I feel stronger. I feel as though I am doing something especially right for me.

Katherine Lerner

Lori is extremely knowledgeable about exercise and movement as we age. I cannot thank her enough for her advice RE: hip bursitis. I was on the verge of having to give up my hiking in the hills, and biking, which I love. Lori advised me on the best stretching exercises and how to use ice after exercising. Thanks to Lori I am now back to my routine!

Al

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.
