Welcome to Stretchlab Murfreesboro

Alazar here! He is looking forward to working with you all! Although he was born and raised in Ethiopia, he only recently became an Ethiopian American after moving here 12 years ago, he speaks three languages so you might hear a slight country foreign accent from being in Tennessee for so long. He recieved his Bachelor's degree in exercise science from Middle Tennessee State University in December of 2022. He is an ISSA-certified personal trainer who is passionate about health and wellness. In college, he ran cross-country and track for three years as an NCAA Division 1 athlete, in these days he likes to lift weights, do calisthenics, and go hiking. He really believes that if we can learn to adapt to remaining active, flexible, and stress-free, our bodies can do wonders. His goal at Stretch lab is utilizing his skillset and knowledge in human structure and movement to prevent injury, improve athletic performance, and improving mobility so that you can enjoy life more! He wants to become a physical therapy assistant in the future, so he is hoping that working at the stretch lab and getting to help others with one-on-one stretches would help him develop personally.

Hi, Angie here! I’m so excited to become a part of the Stretchlab family! I’ve been a Personal Trainer for 15 years. I’ve had the privilege of working with so many wonderful people over the years. In my experience I have worked with people who just wanted learn to exercise as well as clients that wanted to further their rehab, do functional training to help them navigate as they get older and, I have worked with the elderly to help with strength and balance. I have three sons who make me very proud and one granddaughter who has all my attention. In my spare time I really enjoy hiking, kayaking and DIY projects. As an older adult, I’ve become very aware of how important it is to include stretching in our daily health and wellness routine. I is vital to decreasing risk of injury, increasing blood flow and is great for functional fitness and balance and sport performance. I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your help and wellness endeavors!

I am 24 years old. I was born and raised in Uganda 🇺🇬 and I came to the USA in December 2017. I’m a student at Trevecca Nazarene University where I’m pursuing a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. I hope to get certified as a personal trainer and a strength and conditioning coach in the future. I’m very passionate about working with people of all ages and helping them achieve their goals. I grew up playing soccer and I was injured a couple of times, so I had to see some physical therapists often and athletic trainers. Through my injury time, I learned a lot about the importance of exercise and looking after your body to keep it functional and healthy. It motivated me to study in the field of Exercise Science, so that I can help others through the tough times of injury or whatever might be going on with them. I look forward to working with you on your journey to your flexibility goals. I enjoy playing and watching soccer on my free time. I also like doing home workouts over going to gym. This could be because I’m introverted. I also like fishing and going to Titans football games. I can’t wait to see you at StretchLab and working with you to help you get back to doing things that bring joy to you!

Hello, my name is Caleb, I am an ACE certified personal trainer (American Council on Exercise). I am originally from California but moved to Tennessee to attend Middle Tennessee State University where I'm pursuing a degree in audio production. On top of my work at StretchLab, I am a personal trainer at the MTSU recreation center where I have the opportunity to help other students reach their fitness goals. My passion for fitness began when my parents signed me up for a soccer league at the age of 4. After a decade of playing, I transitioned into calisthenics and bodybuilding. Flexibility has always been a goal of mine because I was always restricted in movement. For instance, touching my toes for the first time after 17 months of stretching! Some of my favorite hobbies are rock climbing, cooking, and songwriting. I look forward to helping you reach your fitness and mobility goals!

Hi, I'm Leona! I am a current student at MTSU studying for an Exercise Science bachelor's degree with the goal of becoming a Physical Therapist. I am a Laotian American who was born in Pinelass Park, Florida. I have lived in Tennessee for majority of my life. Growing up, I always wanted to achieve my own fitness goals through exercise. I watched videos on yoga, step-by-step workout videos and I grew up playing ping-pong, badminton and tennis. Going into my senior year of high school, I was enrolled in a Clinical Internship class where we went to a hospital and shadowed many departments there. One of the departments I shadowed was Physical Therapy. The very first day that I shadowed PT there, I felt very moved and my heart warmed up seeing patients improve their mobility through PT. Inspired so much, I decided I wanted to help people with injuries to recover and be pain free. As an aspiring Physical Therapist, I want to motivate and inspire others to reach their goals. Some of my favorite hobbies are singing and dancing. I am very excited to meet you and help you out with your fitness journey!
