University Village published a profile of Lori in their November 2008 newsletter.
“Lori Michiel brings a surprising resumé to her position as a fitness class instructor. Were you aware that she has been a New York stock broker and then a banker? She characterizes herself as a peacekeeper and persuader, with a love for seniors. During her career in the financial world, she also volunteered at the Jewish Home for the Aged in Reseda, CA…and became certified in her “new” career in 2006.
Using music and props to keep everyone interested, Lori is dedicated to personalized instruction. With her private clients and her groups here at University Village, she provides activities which improve balance and the recovery of past capabilities which may have been lost to illness or general lack of conditioning. Her students report a greater sense of independence, becoming less accident prone and more flexible and disease free.”
