Hello! My name is Lindsey Forman.

I’m currently studying to get my certificate III and IV in fitness to become a certified personal trainer in Australia.

Hey there, I'm Laurel! Artistic Swimming, formerly known as synchronized swimming, has been the cornerstone of my life as both an athlete and coach for the Canadian National Team. My commitment to this sport runs deep, and I've spent years honing my skills and knowledge to excel in it. I'm proud to hold the title of Chartered Professional Coach from the Coaches Association of Canada, alongside a Bachelor's Degree in Communications. But my journey into flexibility began long before these achievements. From a young age, my love for flexibility played a crucial role in my success, helping me stand out as one of the most agile athletes throughout my 17-year career. I firmly believe in the power of daily stretching routines to keep injuries at bay, even amidst the rigorous demands of high-level competition. Now, my pursuits have expanded to include strength training and competing in triathlons, all fueled by my unwavering dedication to fitness and well-being. Transitioning into a role where I can directly impact others, I'm thrilled to share my passion for flexibility with my clients.

My name is Ryley! I am a recent grad from the University of Brighton in England with a degree in Physiotherapy. I also previously completed a degree in Kinesiology at the University of Alberta where I have 5 years working as a Physiotherapist Assistant as well as a Kinesiologist. My passions are sports and athletics however I have loads of experience working with a wide range of varying clients. In my spare time you would find me on the golf course as I try to play 4-5 rounds a week at minimum!

Hi, I’m Susie! I am a Certified Athletic Therapist, with over 20 years of experience working with people of all ages and levels of mobility. My goal is to help you move better so you can live better! I believe that assisted stretching fills a need that is not typically met in the health and fitness industry. We all know we need to stretch, but not very many of us do it by ourselves! When I am not working I can often be found mountain biking, hiking, cross-country skiing, or keeping up with my kids and dog. I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your wellness journey.

Hello there! My name is Khalil, and I am originally from England but now proudly call Calgary my home. Fitness has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. My journey began as an international badminton player, where I honed my skills and developed a deep appreciation for physical health and athleticism.

Additionally, I have taught fitness on cruise ships and at destination resorts in Mexico. Recently, I have discovered a new passion for helping people through stretching. I find immense reward in seeing my clients achieve relief from discomfort and work towards their broader fitness goals. It brings me great joy to be a part of their journey towards better health and well-being.

Hello! My name is Miguel. I am an athletic therapist (AT) alumnus from MRU. From the moment I could kick a ball, I was always involved in some sport or activity, from soccer or rugby to sailing or climbing.

Now, I look forward to using my skills and knowledge to help others return to their lives and whatever they are passionate about. Outside of Stretchlab, I work as an AT on the sidelines of soccer pitches and hockey benches around the city. I also spend a lot of time playing soccer and enjoying the outdoors!
