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!

Cole is a certified athletic trainer through the National Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer and is licensed as an athletic trainer by the state of North Carolina.

He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training at East Carolina University in May of 2015 and his Master of Education degree in Coaching and Sport Administration at Angelo State University in June of 2017. While at Angelo State University, he served as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer for football and men’s and women’s track and field. After graduating from Angelo State University he continued his experience as a certified athletic trainer at Emory and Henry College in Emory, VA from August of 2017 to December of 2020. During his time at Emory and Henry College, Cole served as the primary certified athletic trainer for football and men’s basketball. He helped assist Emory and Henry College’s 2018 men’s basketball team to their first ever ODAC championship in school history which was established in 1836. After serving over three years as an associate athletic trainer with Emory and Henry College, Cole decided to continue his professional experience as part of the sports medicine staff at Ravenscroft School in January of 2021. He is also currently in the process of preparing for the National Strength and Conditioning Association Certification Exam to become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). Passionate about health and human performance, he is excited to join StretchLab to help people reach their goals in moving, feeling, and performing better regardless of their occupation or activity level!

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!
