Cheri is a former All-American Swimmer who trained and competed at an elite level for nearly fourteen years. The intense demands of competing at the highest levels of swimming at a young age, set the stage for a lifetime of rigorous training. To keep the competitive juices going, Cheri subsequently competed in water polo and then turned to playing competitive soccer for over fifteen years. Although busy raising her three children and keeping up with her “surf-bum” husband, she always found time to work her passion for fitness and training into her active life.
She is an International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) certified Elite Trainer, Personal Trainer, Nutritionist Coach, Senior Fitness Coach, Specialist in Senior Fitness, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and SilverSneakers instructor in Classic, Circuit and Stability.
Over the years, Cheri’s spirited work ethic, coupled with a compassion for those who have not had the benefit of good physical habits or who are suffering from injuries or aging, have naturally led to her training and coaching her friends and associates. Her interest in helping others recover was further brought to light when she herself suffered a devastating knee injury and ensuing knee replacement, which was then further complicated by a bone infection that resulted in a knee revision. It was the daunting task of recovering from a yearlong incapacitation to regain mobility and strength, that prompted Cheri to follow her passion and become a personal trainer so she could fully focus on helping others.
Cheri fully recovered and now passes on her motivation and knowledge to those who need to get themselves into a better place in their fitness and wellness journey.
Cheri’s current focus has been in the senior community, one of which she has always loved. “I have worked with all ages, with the oldest being 95! I especially love working with people who need motivation to live a better and more fit life.”

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!
