Welcome to StretchLab Plano West

Hey everybody, I’m Eric. I’m just a fun guy that knows how to fix you (most of the time). I have played sports my whole life and that led to a basketball career that got me through college. I also played a little semi-pro ball, but nothing too mentionable came from that. Then I fell into the sport of ninja, like American ninja warrior-style. As a larger athlete I had to focus on keeping my shoulders healthy through all the heavy strain I was putting on them, so I had to rely on a regular stretching regiment to stay healthy and ready for the next comp. While in college I majored in Kinesiology to help me with my own personal journey, but now I am elated to be able to share that knowledge with my clientele. So come on in and let me tell you something about you that you don’t know!! Specialty: athletes, especially those in sports with more of an upper body emphasis (rock climbers, gymnasts, ninjas i.e.) . Fun Fact: I am from Ninnekah, Oklahoma, and have ridden a horse to high school. I also compete in the sport of Ninja.

Hey, I’m Rashonae Rice and I am a flexologist at StretchLab in Plano West. I was an athlete most of my life. I played basketball from middle school all the way up to college. After basketball, I took pursue in Athletic training and injury prevention. With me being involved with sports and having an injury myself, I am aware of how the body works and what to do to prevent certain injuries. Stretching and strengthening helped me recover and made me healthier. With my B.S in Health and Recreation and my experiences, I have learned how to help others along the way to protect themselves from injuries or regaining muscles mass. Fun Fact: I can rap, I love to cook, and I use to be a teacher. Specialty: Upper body (pertaining traps, shoulders, upper back or lower back), lower body (pertaining shins, calves, hips, and glutes)

Hello Everyone…I’m Cedric. I flat out LOVE to run. I started running as a child in Florida on the beaches where I grew up. From there, I ran track in high school in South Carolina. I joined the Army where I learned my true running form and running capacity. Before I became a personal trainer, I was a massage therapist. I think that being a massage therapist helped me to become a better personal trainer. As I start my new career at Stretch Lab, I am realizing that all my skills are going to contribute to me being a great Flexologist and I’ll be able to help my clients with their posture, mobility and flexibility.

My name is Kendra Garcia. I am a Chiropractic student at Parker University. I have a degree in Kinesiology from Stephen F Austin State University. I am from Los Angeles, California but later moved and finished highschool in Alvarado, Texas. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks and long car rides. Fun fact: I lived in Murcia, Spain for 6 months while working on my Kinesiology degree. My passion for health grows more as I learn new ways to help others with a holistic approach.

Hey guys, I’m Kavi Dahya and I am a flexologist at Stretch Lab. I’m currently in college and have a background in studying Forensic Psychology and Business. I’ve been an athlete the majority of my life always switching sports; currently I have an addiction to golf. I have also always had an interest in how the body moves/works and what you can make it do, so I find myself spending a lot of time teaching myself and learning new things. Health and fitness has taken over my life in the past couple years; being consistent, following a plan, and growing not just physically, but mentally. I hope you join me in building not only my journey, but also yours.

Hey y’all…I’m Chandler. I absolutely LOVE boxing and bodybuilding. I am a product of someone who was not sporty at all. I started my fitness journey in 2014 and fell in love with the results that it came with, and it was history after that. There is very little that I won’t do fitness wise, I’m always willing to try new things. Before I became a personal trainer and coach I was just a young person trying to find my way in the world. But I love to help people to feel better and get to their goals faster. I’d like to think that I’m good with stretching lower back and hip stretching because of course powerlifting my hips and lower back are fried. So I hope to help anyone who is experiencing the same thing. Specialty: Bodybuilding, Powerlifting and anyone that strength trains. Fun fact: I went to EMT school.
