West San Fernando Valley: Calabasas, Chatsworth, Encino, Northridge, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, West Hills and Woodland Hills
Kim, a native of Southern California, has been a dedicated and passionate member of the fitness industry for over 40 years. Her journey in this field was inspired through her lifelong competitive swimming career.
Kim attended UCLA, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology (the study of movement) and was a four-year All American Swimmer / American Record Holder. In addition to her academics and sports endeavors, Kim worked in the UCLA Women’s Athletic Training Room with injured athletes, applying treatment modalities and therapeutic rehabilitation exercises. Concurrently, Kim was hired at the Pritikin Longevity Center in Santa Monica (a cardiac rehabilitation center), where she worked as an EKG Technician and Exercise Physiologist. Her eight years at the Longevity Center, a gratifying and fulfilling job, influenced both her work ethic and love of being of service.
During her time spent at the Longevity Center and subsequent years, Kim has worked with all fitness levels and ages, but has more recently found herself drawn to the senior population. Her experience with senior fitness ranges from leading group classes with a cardiovascular and strength emphasis, to chair stretch classes, to sessions with private clients whose issues range from a simple muscular/joint disorder to diabetes, fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s disease or atrial fibrillation.
Kim considers herself incredibly fortunate to have spent her adult life working in the career of her dreams: fitness management and instruction with group and private clients. As a Personal Trainer, originally certified through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine), and later certified as a Pilates instructor. Kim finds nothing more rewarding than working with clients whose appreciation is heartfelt, and where time spent will enhance and elevate the quality of these clients’ lives. Her personal vision: to make her clients fitness experience the best part of their day, every day.

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,
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 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!
