Welcome to StretchLab Ridgefield

'm Larissa! I I have my Bachelors in Exercise Science, and I've been a certified personal trainer for over 2 years. I joined the Stretch Lab team earlier this year and it's been an amazing place to work. My favorite thing about Stretch Lab is seeing how the members feel after their stretch and hearing how their quality of life has gotten better after being consistent with their stretches. In my free time outside of work, I enjoy playing with my dogs Taffy and Sleepy!

My name is Madeline and I am a professional dancer with a BFA in commercial dance. I recently moved to CT from NYC and began my training with StretchLab shortly after. I’ve found a passion for stretching properly and have loved getting to teach others the same thing! I also teach ballet to middle/highschool students and in my free time I like to spend it hiking and being outside with my dog and fiancé. I look forward to stretching with you all!

Hello! My name is Michael DiPane! I just finished my undergraduate program with a bachelor's degree in exercise science. I got interested in this field of work from helping my grandma with rehabilitation from strokes/dementia before she passed away. I have played all sports throughout my life but I played collegiate level basketball and am heavily invested in health, fitness, and stretching. I also have plans of returning to school to receive my doctorate in physical therapy in the future. I am compassionate about helping people maintain or exceed physical fitness. I am so happy to work for StretchLab because I see the results of stretching and working with clients, and this feels incredible! When outside of work I enjoy playing basketball, pickleball, and hiking. I also love spending time with my family, nephews, and dogs! I look forward to seeing you in our studio soon!
