Welcome to StretchLab Midtown Raleigh

I have a Degree in Health and science fitness. I’m certified in IFTA personal training as well as Schwinn cycle. I have 6 plus years of hands on experience, personal training and working with different fitness classes. I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different people, different age groups, and a wide range of injuries. I’m excited to bring my experience to Stretch Lab and meet you right where you are in your journey! One fun fact about me is that I have done 6 cadavers throughout my college career. I was able to hold a human brain and see how a pacemaker works inside the human heart! The human body is absolutely amazing!

My background is in health and fitness. I am a certified Exercise Physiologist through ACSM with a Bachelors of Science in Exercise Physiology from East Carolina University. I was active in dance and competitive cheerleading growing up which sparked my interest in how the body moves. I am excited to be working at StretchLab and have the opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences with you all while helping to improve your quality of life! When I am not working I love traveling with friends and family!

I have worked in the fitness industry for all of my career as a personal trainer and a group fitness instructor. I graduated from the National Personal Training Institute in Chicago, IL in 2019. I am also NASM and FSM certified. As a former All State athlete in Track, fitness and a healthy and active lifestyle have always been an important part of my life. I workout daily and am very active. This is what brought me to Stretch Lab! I look forward to building positive relationships with all of my clients and helping them build flexibility that will not only improve their sport/exercise performance, but also enhance and improve their everyday lives! Outside of work, you can find me working out, walking my Boxer, going to the beach, and enjoying my life in North Carolina!

I have always had a passion for stretching & fitness. Growing up as a track & field athlete & pre-professional dancer, I graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts with a BFA in Dance. I have 10+ years of experience as a professional dancer & I am also the Founder & Artistic Director of FLEE DANCE. Under FLEE DANCE, I have taught Stretching & Body Conditioning for 6+ years, teaching for companies such as New Style Motherlode in Oakland, CA, Alonzo King LINES Dance Center in San Francisco, CA & both Zion Dance Project & Royale Ballet Dance Academy in Dallas, TX to name a few. I am a Virtual Coaching Specialist & Personal Trainer certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine. My goal is to equip & affirm people entirely through wellness -- a happier body equates to a happier person!

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a passion for living an active lifestyle. I grew up playing team sports both for fun and for travel, and those teams taught me to appreciate working out, improve sport performance, and the true value of quality recovery. I attended George Mason University in Fairfax, VA and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology in 2021. As a student, I worked/interned at a variety of businesses such as sports performance gyms, physical therapy offices, and coaching after-school sports programs for elementary school students. The summer after graduation, I became CSCS certified through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and, ever since, I have worked as a Strength Coach, an Orange Theory Fitness Coach, and a Personal Trainer. These experiences led me to StretchLab, where I look forward to continuing teaching knowledge of human movement and recovery. I am excited to work hands on to help our members both feel better and learn more about how their body can thrive with proper mobility training! Outside of the studio, you can usually find me playing basketball, golfing, going on runs, and spending time exploring The Triangle’s parks with my fiancée and friends.

I have a NASM certification and I have been working one on one as a personal trainer for most of my career. I honestly love learning about the body and the science of why and how we move. StretchLab is the perfect fit for me to do what I love which is helping people to move and feel better!

Hello! My name is Darvile. I am a graduate of East Carolina University where I earned my BS in Health Science. I have always had a passion in health, fitness, and anything related body therapy. In my free time, I enjoy working out, cooking, and hanging out with friends. Helping others achieve a better lifestyle in daily activities is my goal as a Flexologist, and StretchLab aligns with that!

Growing up, I played a variety of sports that began my passionate journey towards the fitness world and wellness industry. I was a part of the women's basketball team at Shaw University where I earned my Bachelor's in Exercise Science with a concentration in Athletic Training. I also have experience as an intern with Shaw University for their Sports Medicine program. Upon graduation, I worked alongside a team of chiropractors to enhance my skills for therapy and recovery. Being an athlete and an advocate for health and wellness has taught me the importance of proper injury prevention and kinesthetic recovery, which has led me to be a part of the StretchLab team. I enjoy helping others to feel better whilst educating them on how stretching can be utilized to help them reach their specific goals!
