Matt has been personal training since 2015 and noticed that stretching is the missing puzzle piece. Working out of course is great but having mobility and movement is essential for not only that lifting but for day to day life too. In his spare time he loves to train for competing in Olympic Weightlifting and being around his family, friends, and 2 dogs. Matt thinks that the StretchLab family he has here is amazing and its helping him understand even more about the body and its a plus helping people feel better when they leave the session.
