Christina’s passion for fitness started after taking kickboxing and bootcamp classes, which eventually led to her becoming a personal trainer. She then began training clients individually or in pairs. Since then, she has trained clients of all ages, from teenagers to seniors; athletes to those with serious health conditions. As a physical therapy assistant for many years, Christina worked with people who had injuries or were recovering from surgery. If there is a condition she is not familiar with, she will do further research or take a course to expand her knowledge
Christina is also an experienced wellness coach who counsels and guides individuals to be more aware of living well and healthy through a range of proactive and preventative measures. Her clients learn to facilitate positive change in their lives by learning to eat better, exercise, handle stress, etc. In addition, Christina has a Master’s degree in psychology and is also a Master Reiki teacher. Reiki is a Japanese stress relieving technique that promotes healing and relaxation in the body.
Christina is always smiling and enjoys the little things in life. She is an avid coffee lover, gluten-free snob, outdoor adventurer and workout junkie–always striving to be at her best, both professionally and personally. She currently trains clients in their homes or gyms; outdoors and online.

Sam Strain – Trainer
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

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'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!
