Welcome to StretchLab Waterside

Rogelio(Roger) was born and raised in River Oaks/ Fort Worth so he is very familiar with the area. He began playing football and baseball at the age of five and continued playing both sports through high school. Fitness became a part of his life during high school as he was never physically the biggest or the fastest. His goals were to get stronger, bigger and faster as well as being a better athlete overall. While in the gym working out he began to enjoy everything that came with health and fitness which led him to wanting to become a personal trainer. He wanted people to experience the rewarding feeling that comes with working out both mentally and physically. Immediately after high school graduation he went to a hands on workshop at the Cooper Institute in Dallas TX. Roger became a certified personal trainer in October of 2016 through the Cooper Institute and American Council on Exercise (ACE). He also holds credentials as a Functional Training Specialist and Fitness Nutrition Specialist through ACE. Through working out, bodybuilding caught his eye and in 2017 Roger competed in one of the biggest bodybuilding shows in Texas, the “Dallas Europa Fit Expo”. Competing in Men’s Physique he placed top five in the teen category and novice category. Sometime after, he had the opportunity to try CrossFit. CrossFit undoubtedly exposed weaknesses in his mobility that he was unaware of at the time. Those weaknesses led him to wanting to focus more on mobility and flexibility as an individual not only with himself but also with his clients. He started very easily noticing the limitations and issues that the normal individual has. Having good mobility and flexibility is very important for your daily life. That’s what brought him here to StretchLab, to assist with those needs. Roger loves helping people and as a Flexologist he gets to do just that.

Antonio has lived in the DFW area for about 13 years now. He was not a big fan of playing sports until he reached the age of 18 and started training in the Martial Arts.

He graduated with an Associates Degree in Science from Mountain View Community College, and at that time decided to focus on getting his Personal Trainer Certification, which he completed in 2016. Antonio also went on to receive his black belt in Taekwondo, and currently holds certifications as a PT, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and is an instructor in Taekwondo.
