Brenda
Orange County: Corona del Mar, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Linda Isle, Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Tustin
As a woman over 50 herself, Brenda recognizes that all of us wish to age with beauty, grace, strength, dignity, and confidence. We are less interested in achieving the body we may have had in earlier years; rather, the focus is on quality of life – maintaining and improving physical functionality outside of the gym while performing activities of daily living.
Maintaining independence is a top priority!
Over twenty years in the health and fitness profession has taught Brenda that ‘age’ truly IS just a number. Lifestyle choices can greatly influence one’s ageing process, energy, vitality and overall health. Regular exercise (together with supportive nutrition and other lifestyle habits) is an essential choice that corresponds with optimal results.
In the role of personal trainer, Brenda addresses the current physical state of the body. Then, incorporating specialties in Orthopedics, Corrective Exercise, Functional Movement and Fascial Stretch Therapy, Brenda uses a personalized, therapeutic approach to progress her client toward their desired goals.
Significant improvements are achieved in the areas of core stabilization and strength, muscular strength, flexibility, posture and balance.
These improvements can dramatically enhance and enrich quality of life and independence while increasing functionality and avoiding, improving, or eliminating pain and injuries of the low back, knees, shoulders, feet and ankles.
In the event that joint (knee, hip, etc.) surgery is required, Brenda also specializes in surgery preparation and post-rehab to facilitate the fastest and most complete recovery experience possible!

Lori,
You're amazing...you can pivot in a moment's flash... if you could bottle that productivity and sell it to seniors you could buy California, despite the fact that you already help many people and make their lives better!! Stay YOU!!!
Love, Jersey John

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 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!
