Welcome to StretchLab SouthPark

Hi, my name is Chris! I have a background as a Physical Therapist Assistant and have been with StretchLab SouthPark since 2019. Outside of StretchLab, I’m also a boxing coach, and I love helping people improve their movement, strength, and overall well-being. With my experience in both physical therapy and coaching, I’m passionate about guiding clients toward feeling and moving better every day. I’m proud to be part of the amazing stretching community we’ve built in our studio and look forward to helping you reach your mobility goals!

I have been employed at StretchLab since 2019 and absolutely love working with our amazing clients. With over 30 years of experience in the fitness industry, I am a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer and International Group Fitness Instructor, certified by Mecklenburg County, AFAA, and Les Mills International. My areas of expertise include mobility, movement, neuromuscular stretching, injury prevention, prenatal and postnatal care, and overall wellness. Additionally, I have EMT experience and hold a CPR certification. My goal is to lead, motivate, and enhance the well-being of individuals committed to fitness, helping them build a lifelong commitment to health and wellness. In my spare time, I work with equine therapy horses and teach group fitness classes at local health and fitness clubs.

I am an App State graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and a background in personal training. I have been stretching with StretchLab since 2021. I’m a Raleigh native and have lived in Charlotte since 2022. What I love most about working at StretchLab is observing clients’ progress during their sessions and working with them on a personal level to better understand how their goals can be reached. I believe that feeling your best has a positive impact on all aspects of life. In my free time, I enjoy trying new vegetarian food, weightlifting, and going on walks with my dog!

I am a graduate of Catawba College, earning my BS in Exercise Science with a concentration in Human Performance. I have always been very passionate about the health and fitness industry. I was a soccer player for 16 years, so I understand the importance of quality stretching. I aim to use my knowledge and personal experience to help educate those in my community on the benefits of what we do here at StretchLab. Outside of work, you can find me at the gym, hanging out with friends and family, or cranking out new arts & crafts projects!

I have a BS in Health and Fitness Specialist under the department of Kinesiology from East Carolina University. I am also a former D1 cross country and track athlete, and a current avid practicer of yoga. Both have taught me so much about the importance of stretching and flexibility to lead a healthy life! I am so excited to join the StretchLab team and help others do the same. In my free time I'm either at the gym or yoga studio, going to see live music, and spending time with friends and family or my pet bunny Rocky!

I am a graduate from UNC Pembroke with a B.S. in Kinesiology and a minor in Health Promotion. I am a Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Coach and a former track athlete. Being physically active is something I’ve had a passion for since middle school. Playing sports sparked my interest in how the body moves and can repair itself. My goal is to help people improve their overall health by educating them about the benefits of exercising and recovery. Outside of working at StretchLab, I enjoy working out, painting, being outdoors, and poetry.

I was born and raised in High Point, NC and have been living in Charlotte, NC for the past eight years now. I graduated from UNC Charlotte, receiving my BS in Exercise Science and my MS in Athletic Training. I grew up playing soccer, golf, disc golf and volleyball and still play all of these whenever I can. Being around sports helped me realize that I wanted to learn more about anatomy and physiology and help people feel better so that they can continue to do what they love and enjoy. Outside of work, I enjoy hanging out with friends and family and exploring the Charlotte area. I enjoy being a part of the StretchLab team and helping our clients improve their lifestyle!

Originally from Huntington, West Virginia, I made the move to the Charlotte area 12 years ago. I hold a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from Winthrop University. I have also attended Montreat College and Concord University where I had played college baseball for four years. My athletic journey has spanned football, MMA, and basketball, all of which have fueled my passion for sports and fitness. At StretchLab, I love helping people become the best versions of themselves by promoting freedom of movement and unlocking a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. In my free time, you’ll find me weightlifting, running, or enjoying quality moments with my girlfriend and family. I love creating meaningful relationships with everyone I meet.
