Aileen is an energetic, multi-certified and results-oriented fitness, yoga and health coaching professional who specializes in training seniors and adults. Aileen emphasizes safety, balance, alignment, compassion, fun and motivation when partnering with her clients. Whether assisting an unmotivated fifty-year old looking to lose weight and get in shape, or a 70-year-old suffering from memory loss and balance issues, Aileen has movements and exercise to respond to individual needs.
Aileen’s passion for fitness started early. Her informal education began at her family’s equestrian farm in upstate New York, where she taught horseback riding. Aileen credits her mother with instilling the importance of safety, balance and proper form when teaching. It was natural for Aileen to study physical education at college. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education from Cortland State, New York.
Ten years into coaching, Aileen discovered her passion for coaching seniors and adults. According to Aileen, “Teaching adults and seniors is so rewarding. Everyone has a story to tell and we none of us know when our bodies won’t work the way they used to.” Aileen truly believes that making a difference in a client’s life makes her life more worthwhile. Aileen gets a kick out of a client having an “a-ha moment” or feeling so balanced and strong that they can do things they haven’t been able to do for years.
Her certifications include:
• National Academy of Sports Medicine/Personal Trainer (NASM-CPT)
• American College Sports Medicine/Sports Nutrition Certification (ACSM)
• Schwinn and Kettle Bell Training Certifications
When not coaching, Aileen swims with the Ventura Master’s Club, practices Original Hot Yoga (Bikram), walks her two dogs and builds a new life for herself and her husband. They recently moved from Pasadena to Ventura and became empty-nesters when their two adult sons left home.
It All Begins With a Consultation with Lori
Kind Words from our Clients
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.

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!
