Michaela Piendel is the Personal Trainer at the YMCA of Parkersburg. A certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor, she became the YMCA of Parkersburg’s Personal Trainer in September 2020. However, her fitness journey began in the early days of pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Physiology at West Virginia University.
During her time at WVU, she was appointed Lead Personal Trainer at the WVU Recreation Center. She also held other coaching, trainer, and management positions within Morgantown, in West Virginia’s most advanced fitness and athletic training facilities.
For years, she has enjoyed all fitness avenues, especially Olympic weightlifting and Powerlifting. She competed with the WVU Powerlifting Team where her first place finish in her age and weight division contributed to the team’s Co-ed National Championship in 2019.
Since then, she has gone from competing to training clients, helping them achieve their health goals at the YMCA. Interested in working with Michaela? Contact her at michaela.piendel@parkersburgymca.org.
