Welcome to StretchLab Franklin

With a background in physical therapy and exercise science, I know the value of moving the body to keep it healthy and energized. I believe that if you feel better you move better!, I love how StretchLab works with our members on being intentional with each stretching program to get the most out of your body. My passion is being with people, growing relationships in the community, and building partnerships between StretchLab and our community businesses.

Hi, I'm Kim and I am excited to join the Stretchlab Team! I believe that caring for ourselves, Body, Soul, and Spirit, is essential for a fulfilling life of purpose. I am returning to the Health and Fitness Industry after spending several years focusing on my family and home educating my children. I have a B.S. Degree in Exercise Science from East Carolina University. I am also a native of North Carolina. I began my career in Corporate Fitness and Health Promotion in Washington D.C. working with federal government employees. I later moved from there to The Toyota Corporate Headquarters in Torrance, CA. After working with Toyota for a season I moved on to having my own fitness business as a personal trainer in Los Angeles. I eventually was trained in Pilates and worked in Pilates studios in the L.A. area as well as in a Physical Therapy practice teaching Pilates to patients at the end of their time in therapy. I am excited to be back in the fitness industry and I look forward to helping people feel their best.

I'm Marla Nichols, originally from Memphis, Tennessee. I earned my Exercise Science degree from Middle Tennessee State University in December 2023. During my time there, I delved into athletic training, supporting the football and basketball teams with rehabilitation efforts. I also honed my skills as a Technician in a Physical Therapy clinic. Outside of academics, dance is my true passion. As a hip-hop dancer and choreographer, I teach children at various dance studios. Joining StretchLab is a natural fit for me because I'm driven by the desire to help people reach their goals and enhance their lives. I'm excited to be part of the StretchLab team and contribute to our clients' well-being.

My name is Lana Ali and I was born in Erbil, Iraq, where I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes at the age of two. For my wellbeing, my family decided to immigrant to the US in search of a better life. I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee where I found a passion for basketball and was an athlete for most of my life. After high school, I decided to focus more on my career in medicine and stopped playing basketball professionally. I enjoy working out and playing pick up basketball. I am currently studying biology and chemistry at Belmont University and intend to go to medical school after I receive a Bachelors Degree to become an endocrinologist. My desire is to help other kids who are going through the experiences that I recall as a child with diabetes to demonstrate that they can still be happy and healthy with a chronic condition like diabetes. I would like to show others that they are stronger than they perceive themselves to be, all they need is a slight push.
