Welcome to Stretchlab Desert Ridge

My name is Ashley and I’m a native of East Tennessee (Go Vols!) but have been a resident of Surprise, AZ for the past 12 years. As a kid I was always active and over the years into adulthood, I continued to enjoy an active lifestyle. I’ve ran my fair share of 5k’s, played roller derby, Spartan Race elite competitor, all while being a mom of two. Because of my love of fitness, I became a personal trainer in 2006 with my certification with NASM and returned to college and received my AAS in Exercise Science and my Sports and Nutrition Certification. Health and wellness has become my passion and I’m excited to join the Stretchlab team and help me continue on this path to help others on their wellness journey.

Hi, I'm Adrian! I'm an ASU alumni that graduated with my Exercise and Wellness degree. I've been working in this field for 2 years. Most of my experience comes in the physical therapy setting as I've been working alongside Physical Therapists as a Physical Therapist technician. I am passionate toward improving functionality and fitness. My ultimate goal is to become a Physical Therapist Assistant and work in a home health setting. My hobbies include rooting for my favorite sports teams, playing sports, and achieving my own fitness goals.

Hi! My name is Mikayla. Here’s a little bit about me. I’m a recent GCU graduate with my bachelors degree in Exercise Science with an emphasis in sports performance along with a minor in sports psychology. I was born and raised in Santa Fe NM, so I love Chile. I love working out whether that be in the gym, in the pool, biking or even hiking. I love being outdoors and exploring nature. I also really enjoy doing art and singing. I played volleyball my whole life growing up, I absolutely love to play. I love playing and watching other sports as well but volleyball is definitely my favorite. I’m very outgoing and overall love helping people.

My name is Roy Hemsley, I am from Los Angeles, California. I had my first stint with Arizona during college, and the aesthetic visuals and serene pace of life made me return. I have an affinity for most things fitness. I currently enjoy yoga, boxing, lifting weights and promoting vitality among clients, friends and acquaintances alike. I have a gentle disposition despite my statuesque stature. Stretch lab is the place for me because of the promotion of wellness across modalities that extend outside the stretching regimen. I can’t wait to help others add improved range of motion and help create a communal feel among recurring clients, colleagues and prospective clients alike.
