Hi my name is Ethan, I was born in Chicago, Illinois and moved to Elmhurst a few years back. One of my biggest passions is baseball, and I’ve played since I was 3 years old. I attended McKendree University for one year to study Kinesiology and play baseball, but came back home due to injury and finish at the College of DuPage. I enjoy my job at StretchLab because I am able to work with a variety of people, get them healthy, and help them move to the best of their abilities!

Hello! My name is Dawid and I am a graduate from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a degree in Kinesiology! I am a first generation Polish-American and I could not be more proud of my family for giving me this opportunity. Growing up, sports consumed my life. From playing football before the school bus comes to breaking a school record in swimming, I’ve always felt that I have a place in sport and fitness. One of my passions is making a positive impact (no matter how small or large) on the people around me. I love the feeling I get knowing that I made someone’s life a little more manageable at the very least, and I feel like StretchLab is an excellent avenue for me to pursue this passion. With my experience in sport and fitness, along with the information gained throughout this position, I hope that I can make a positive impact on the people around me.

My name is Jenny and I am from Villa Park. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelors in Kinesiology. I grew up being active in sports, so I knew I would love to learn more about physical activity and exercise. My goal is to grow as a fitness professional to learn more knowledge and skills to help answer any fitness questions and to help individuals reach their fitness goals. My favorite form of exercise is walking and running. Outside of exercise, I love dogs, enjoy learning how to cook, being outside, and being with family.
