Melissa

Pasadena and West San Gabriel Valley: Alhambra, San Gabriel, South Pasadena, Pasadena, Altadena, Temple City, Arcadia, Monrovia, San Marino, La Canada, El Sereno, Rosemead, El Monte

​Melissa is a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer, Senior Fitness Specialist, and Fitness Instructor, and has been involved in the fitness industry for over 25 years. She is also Arthritis Foundation certified, and holds NASM certifications in Neuromuscular Facilitated Stretching, and Integrated Core and Balance Training, as well as being certified through the American Parkinson’s Disease Association (APDA). She continues to enhance her career and professional experience by taking various courses and training classes to increase her knowledge and provide better service to her clients.

Melissa specializes in Aquatics, as well as teaching Senior Fitness, TRX Suspension Training, Indoor Cycling and Stability Ball Training. She has taught various group fitness classes at local gyms and the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center. For many years, she did this part-time while working at a full-time corporate job in the entertainment industry.

After nearly 18 years in the very high pressured and stressful corporate world, she often said that the only thing that kept her going was being able to leave the office to go teach her classes and workout. Although she was successful in her corporate career, over the years it became more draining. She knew there was something missing; that she needed to do something more meaningful, with a purpose, where she could help people.

In 2012 Melissa became a full-time personal trainer and fitness instructor. She now works for multiple gyms and senior facilities. She does one-on-one personal training, as well as small and large group fitness classes. Although Melissa’s clients and students range in age from 16 to 90-years-old, she has a passion for working with seniors. The majority of the population she works with is over age 60.

Growing up, she had a very close relationship with her grandparents, and always said they were her favorite people. Some of her fondest memories include having her grandfather teach her how to be an all-star softball player. She also enjoyed playing tennis with her grandmother and helping her in the garden and kitchen. They were always very active together, but as they got older, and began to slow down, Melissa helped take care of them. She wanted to give back the love and support they provided to her in her youth.

Kind Words from our Clients

Barb Weitzberg

Lori – I just wanted to put in a plug for you as a trainer. I’ve been very impressed with how you individualize your training and make an effort to get a question answered if you don’t know the answer. Not only did you check out my condition (Fibromyalgia) and how you can help, you sent me an email within the same day as we saw each other. You’re organized and fun to work with. I asked for some cheat sheets so I could practice at home and remember what to do and you had them ready the next time I saw you. You have a great, cheerful attitude. I would recommend you to anyone!

 A year ago I was fortunate to find the exceptional Lori Michiel. I can't say enough positives about this company. Foremost is their knowledge and expertise of the aging human body. I began my journey toward fitness on the heels of big life changes: sold our long-time home, moved to a new town, and traveled in an RV for 4 months. Because Lori's trainer and I work together online, I have been able to continue with our twice weekly get-togethers during all this upheaval, and see improvement in my physical well being. In addition to the trust I have in the trainer to monitor my efforts, suggest changes or new strategies when needed, she brings humor and a warm-hearted spirit to my life. From time to time, Lori calls or texts to check in; these are welcome and let's me know she keeps an eye on her clients. Hiring a personal trainer has been one of the best things I've done for myself in a very long time. I feel stronger and more fit. A big hug (virtual) and thank you, Lori!

Lori is incredibly responsive, always quick to return my calls and emails. Her communication is clear and consistent, and she follows through on everything she promises.

Most importantly, she matched my mom with a trainer who’s a perfect fit—skilled, kind, reliable, and helps keep my mom motivated!

I highly recommend Lori's service to any senior citizen or sedentary retiree.

Mom always says, "Dad worked out with his trainer a week before he passed". It was a blessing that he was in good physical shape up almost until the end and we are very grateful for that. We are so grateful for you and the wonderful trainers Dad had. We were truly blessed.

Rebecca

I enthusiastically recommend Lori Michiel Fitness! My 80 year old Mom had a cyst on her spinal column, and underwent a difficult spine surgery. We knew she had a long road of recovery ahead. Thankfully, as we left Villa Gardens, a Skilled Nursing Facility, they recommended Lori Michiel Fitness! Lori came to Mom’s house and thoroughly interviewed us, listened carefully to Mom's needs, read her neurosurgeon’s reports, and matched us with a Rehab Trainer that perfectly, gently helped Mom safely move and stretch. On top of that, Mom really liked the trainer and enjoyed their sessions. Lori kept in touch throughout Mom’s treatment as a liaison between us and the trainer. She conveyed any concerns we had to the trainer and helped make adjustments to Mom’s program. Lori is a gracious, warm-hearted woman with a passion for helping seniors. She truly gave us her whole heart as as we went through a very challenging time.

Sam Strain – Trainer

I have had the pleasure of working for/with Lori Michiel Fitness since June 2016. I have found Lori to be conscientious, thorough, polite and a joy to work with. Lori has demonstrated numerous times that she understands that we are in the “service industry” and prides herself on giving the best service possible.
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

The last time I spoke with my mom she was just so happy with Lori Michiel Fitness. She told me that without your training she wouldn’t be able to move as she well as she is doing now.

My mom is doing very well. She’s getting back into her ceramics studio and making more stuff and seeing her friends.

I just wanted to send the biggest thank you for joining us at The Variel. You put on such an excellent class and I know our contact at The Variel was really impressed.


I can't say enough good things about your class. You were knowledgeable, engaging, and FUN! I've worked with a number of fitness instructors over the years -- some are good and some are standout, and you quickly revealed yourself to be standout.

I look forward to working with you again in the future, and thanks for donating your time to our special community this past Saturday.

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, In a few days it will be one year since I began with your program. I can say now, without a doubt, that I am in a much better place, in so many ways, than I was one year ago. I still remember the day you visited me and Mary and explained what it was that you work to do. (She still marvels about the balloon hat you wore that day.) Your suggestion to pair me with your trainer was spot on. Sometimes I wonder what she does to stay positive when I turn into "grumpy old man"...It was our daughter, Robin, who found out about you, and the rest is history...When it all began, I, as a classically trained cynic, expected to go a few months and then leave it all behind. Just goes to show you what can happen when you work and believe. Hope you're doing well.

I've been working with Lori and her excellent staff since 2011, and my experience has always been positive! Most recently, her personal trainers she's assigned have been a very good "fit" with my clients. The clients have special needs, my older female client has Alzheimer's, and my younger male client had physical disabilities. In addition to the many benefits to their physical health, the trainers have served as friendly visitors, and occasionally have reported concerns regarding their personal care and emotional health, which has been very helpful. Lori and her staff have always been professional and courteous, and I am always kept informed of progress. And I know they really care about my clients, which makes all the difference!

I am very impressed with Lori Michiel Fitness. It has improved the quality of life for my 87-year-old mother-in-law who suffers from moderate dementia and had become weak and unstable due to spending too much time sleeping and being sedentary. From the very thorough initial evaluation to the now twice weekly workout sessions, my mother-in-law is really having fun with the exercises with her personal trainer; I can see the benefits of these sessions. Additionally, I really appreciate the excellent communication with Lori, who always responds in a timely fashion and sends weekly email updates about progress being made. I highly recommend!!

When my aunt’s strength began declining, I started looking around for gyms or trainers for those with physical limitations. I found Lori’s website and she had just what I was looking for. She conducted a thorough assessment and set my aunt up with a wonderful trainer. In addition to knowing how to physically help the client, she is really skilled at matching personalities. Now in our second year as clients, we are really satisfied with all aspects of Lori’s approach. I highly recommend Lori’s services.

For the past seven years, my clients have reaped the benefits of working with Lori Michiel and her team. My clients are living with less pain, greater strength, endurance and flexibility; fewer falls as well as less depression and more energy for life.

Moving the body is essential to physical, emotional and cognitive well-being and Lori and her trainers know how to safely and effectively engage my clients in an exercise program that is appropriate for their needs.

My trainer has encouraged me all the way, she's my biggest cheerleader. And she is so knowledgeable. She knew exactly which three exercises I could try using the five-pound weights with and which I should not try quite yet.

Sheri L.

My family engaged the services of Lori Michiel for my 77-year-old mother. I was very pleased with Lori's overall professionalism, starting off with in an in-depth health questionnaire, and then physical assessment. She was very engaging, personable and easy to work with. Her approach with my mother (a difficult person) was always right on target, and she was encouraging, positive and upbeat. She would give us reports after each training session to keep us apprised of what went on. I would definitely recommend Lori Michiel to anyone seeking personal training sessions for those over age 50, as she is quite knowledgeable and experienced with the health issues of this population, and appears to have a natural affinity for these individuals.

I just had to tell you, this morning I did three exercises, three repetitions each using FIVE pound weights!!! It was hard, but certainly not impossible. I am so thrilled and excited. I can't remember the last time I was able to lift five pounds - other than dragging in a five-pound bag of groceries from the car! I started in January, barely able to lift two-pound weights and now, eight months later, I can lift five pounds.

I just had to tell you, this morning I did three exercises, three repetitions each using FIVE pound weights!!! It was hard, but certainly not impossible. I am so thrilled and excited. I can't remember the last time I was able to lift five pounds - other than dragging in a five-pound bag of groceries from the car! I started in January, barely able to lift two-pound weights and now, eight months later, I can lift five pounds. - Nancy

I've become more confident in pushing my limits as I learned techniques from Lori that were customized to my age and condition. Before, I would pull back from activities for fear of pain or further injury, but she taught me how to build muscle and stamina progressively and safely. Confidence is built on a series of successes; The Lori Method™ works!
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 were outstanding from A to Z. The personal initial evaluation, the planning, the matching of a trainer to her needs and much more was all completed in a professional and warm manner. My 96-year-old mom benefited greatly for more than a year of training that was delivered with a highly personalized caring touch. She enjoyed the sessions and was always looking forward to them. I give Lori and her team my highest possible recommendation.

I went to Lori Michiel because I needed help, especially in walking. In the past I have been doing exercises at least five times a week.

Now I can walk better. Also before I was going up the stairs one step at the time. Now I can go up and down by holding from both rails without a problem. I can go up 120 steps and more.

I continue doing all the exercises and they have given me more strength in all my body.

There aren't any words to say how much Lori and her trainer, therapist changed my life forever. Until today, I do the exercises they taught me.

I will thank them forever.

They changed my life. They can change your life too.

Rolanda

I learned from Lori how important exercise is to my well-being and that I need to be accountable to myself and make exercise a part of my every day. I actually see Lori's face when I swim, or use the tread mill and know that she will be proud of me and my efforts to live “the good life”.
