If I could have selected all five options concerning what I liked about working with Q Fitness, I would have. Mihaela came to my home and helped me, age 70, begin a fitness journey which I found impossible to start on my own. I had been trying for years. A couple of months ago, my doctor stated the cold, hard truth—every pound of the last ten of my gradual weight loss was muscle. What was the point of weight loss if it was all muscle? Mihaela was the motivation I needed — a combination of understanding, focus and consistency. I really struggled in the beginning, but she modified the workout. She didn't coddle me, but she took into account a number of health conditions I deal with. The result was a challenging workout—legs, core, arms—where I could see myself improve with each session. She is relentless about proper form, good breathing, stretching and SAFETY. We used the last session and a half to go over pictures of all the equipment at the senior gym my husband and I joined. She helped me come up with a solid circuit on the machines, but I continue my safe, challenging core workouts at home. I can't recommend Mihaela enough—I'm SO glad I hired Q Fitness!

About Q Life Fitness
*Private In-Home Training for Strength, Balance & Independence* I offer private, in-home movement training for adults 50+ who want to stay strong, mobile, balanced, and independent as they age. My work is designed for people who value personalized attention, discretion, and thoughtful programming — not gyms or one-size-fits-all workouts. Sessions are tailored to your body and goals and may include strength training using body weight and dumbbells, balance and stability work, mobility and flexibility training, Pilates-based core work for a strong spine, and yoga-inspired stretching and breathing. The focus is always on joint health, injury prevention, functional strength, and long-term vitality. This is not traditional yoga or high-intensity training. It is intelligent, progressive movement designed to help you feel capable, confident, and active — whether that means continuing golf or tennis, traveling comfortably, or simply moving through daily life with ease. I work with a limited number of private clients and adapt training for: *Adults 50+ focused on longevity, balance, and independence *Clients who want to build or maintain strength safely *Women navigating midlife changes, including menopause, with strength and bone health in mind *Clients with injuries, joint concerns, or movement limitations *Golfers, tennis players, and active individuals seeking performance-supportive training *Couples or small private sessions by request All sessions take place in the privacy of your home, at a time that works best for you. Programs are personalized, respectful of your body, and designed to support a lifelong relationship with movement.

I have been working out with Mihaela for several weeks now: this is what I have to say: working with a woman who is focused on both nutritional changes, motivation, and workouts that are catered to you / she is the best trainer I have worked with (I have had countless gym memberships, CrossFit memberships, personal trainers) She prioritizes a personalized approach, she is knowledgeable in weight training, pilates, yoga and much more! Today marks 1 month for weigh ins and I lost 11.3 lbs. She has added the motivation I was lacking and I recommend her personal training to anyone !
Mihaela is simply the best personal trainer I have ever had! She is incredibly knowledgeable and really loves working with older adults. Mihaela corrects you if you are doing an exercise improperly so that you avoid injuring yourself. I really appreciated this since I am in my early 70’s and have a number of spine and wrist issues. She modifies and individualizes the exercises based on these limitations. I live in Florida most of the year but I plan on working with Mihaela when I return in May! I highly recommend her as a personal trainer!
Working with Q Life has been a game changer for me! I went into my first 10 sessions not knowing how I’d do after taking very little exercise for years and feeling foggy in my mind and body. My experience has been fun, challenging and rewarding- I started feeling more focused almost immediately, and then better balance and flexibility followed. I look forward to every session because Mihaela is warm and pleasant and super knowledgeable.
I reached out to Mihaela in April to inquire about private yoga instruction. She responded quickly and professionally. We discussed my mobility issue and limitations in-depth. The first time we met in person we went through some stretches and she was able to modify and change the instruction on the spot. I was in a great deal of pain and she was patient, compassionate and able to modify as my mobility and pain became better. She was very hands-on (literally) as we worked on stretching my very tight hamstrings, hip flexors and worked to relieve my lower back pain. We worked on core strengthening, balance and mindfulness. She really treated me from the mind, body, soul perspective. She truly enjoys what she does. In the six weeks we worked together, I made tremendous progress! I am more flexible, mindful and, more importantly, in much less pain. I am now able to resume activities that I had to delay due to my limitations. If I could give 100 stars, I would!
Absolutely amazing. I would 100% recommend.
I would choose all of the qualities above not just three. For my 70th birthday, I decided to treat myself to a personal trainer and the "gift" I received was Mihaela of Q Life Fitness. She is a joy to spend time with and makes the hour of "working out" fly by! Mihaela has (and continues each week) to fine tune the routine just to ME. I know that I am getting stronger but what is most important is that I will be able to incorporate the varied exercises, (a little yoga, barre, along with cardio and the "really hard stuff" LOL) into my life after our sessions are finished. I give her five stars because she is a STAR. Debra McDonald
Mihaela is an incredible trainer. She is working with both myself and my husband with yoga. We have been working with her for 2 months. I am also doing Barre with her. She pushes me to my limit every workout. She introduced me to a variety of exercise techniques and then we narrowed it down to where she could help me the most.
Mihaela is an absolutely amazing yoga instructor and a lovely person! Not only is she knowledgeable, experienced and thorough, she is flexible, patient, friendly and a joy to be around after a tiring day at work. I look forward to my personal yoga lessons twice a week. She makes each session suitable to my needs and I love how she is always asking me to ‘listen to my body’. Through her guidance I have learnt not to force myself into postures but connect with a calm breath. I started to believe that yoga is not just about practicing poses but is a change in lifestyle, it’s about our everyday lives, our current and future well being and the ‘something’ we do for ourselves! After a few sessions I already feel stronger and more connected to myself. She is wonderful! I highly recommend her lessons.
I contacted Q Life for home yoga practice to work on strengthening physically through my practice in a safe way with the limitations of three spinal surgeries. She has been great. Always on time, always prepared but willing to adjust practice to meet my needs in the moment. Wonderful manual adjustments. I already feel much stronger and have gained new edges. All this accomplished without loss of the meditative and mindfulness tenants of yoga. Highly recommend.
