Welcome to StretchLab North Reading

After years in sales, sales management & the food/beverage industry, I have taken my passions for yoga, wellness, & exercise and given them my full time attention. After practicing yoga for 15 years, I became a certified yoga instructor and Reiki I practitioner in 2017. I also represent a USDA certified organic CBD manufacturer and believe in the safe and significant benefits it has on the body. I also am recently certified in Somaveda Thai massage yoga. Along with a regular yoga practice and fitness schedule, I am an avid skier. My other passions are gardening, cooking and walking in the woods with Theo, my Australian Shepard. Working as a Flexoligist with StretchLab is an amazing addition to my expertise in working with the human body. Our stretch sessions are proven to enable clients to excel in their functional and fitness goals. I look forward to working together with you by creating an individual plan that will meet and exceed your expectations of the StretchLab experience

I am a NASM certified personal trainer and Stretching & Flexibility Coach, mother of two boys, and avid collector of houseplants! Growing up, I was aware of the benefits of stretching and flexibility as I spent many hours in the dance studio. In 2018, I began training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and coached childrens and adult classes at my gym for over 3 years. In addition to coaching, I ran a weekly stretching and mobility class for all ages. While working through a back injury in 2016, I had my first experience with assisted stretching and it changed my life. A passion for pain free mobility was ignited. I am absolutely thrilled to have found StretchLab and assist my clients on their individual mobility journeys!

Health and fitness have been a passion of mine for as long as I could remember. I started getting into fitness and health at a very young age, educating myself and taking part in different sports and courses. I played D1 Soccer in college and I am currently a Mixed Martial Artist working towards competing Professionally. I worked as a Personal Trainer for MIT at the age of 18 and I worked with a lot of people in helping them achieve their goals physically in a way that’s healthy and fun. I attend UMASS Lowell for my Health and Science degree as I enjoy learning about the human body and applying my knowledge to help people feel better physically. After I complete college, I plan on working as a full-time Physical Therapist.

As a high school track and field/ cross country runner, Jake became passionate about learning how the gym could help him on the track. As his Junior year season came to an end and college was coming fast, Jake’s love for the gym began to outweigh his love for the track.

Hey there! I’m Dr. Aisha Ahmad — chiropractor, mental health doctor, and proud professional napper. I help people feel good inside and out — through healing, stretching, and a sprinkle of laughter along the way! I earned all my degrees in beautiful Connecticut (yes, all of them… coffee was my best friend), and now I’m living my best life in Everett, Massachusetts with my adorable kitten who thinks he is my assistant. When I’m not helping clients move better and stress less, you can probably find me at a coffee shop dreaming up new wellness ideas, curating playlists for my sessions, or trying new healthy recipes. Come see me and let’s get you stretched, smiling, and feeling like your absolute best self!

I graduated from UMass Lowell with my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, and am currently pursuing a degree within the physical therapy field. I also work as a physical therapy aide helping people regain function and improve their lifestyles. I have always enjoyed helping people wherever I can. For the past 5 years, I have been working as a nursing assistant at Lowell General Hospital’s Emergency Room taking care of my community. Now, I am taking the opportunity to share this passion with you at StretchLab. My knowledge and ambition continues to grow as I am learning that there are more ways we can practice care for others.

I have been around sports my entire life where it took me to Merrimack College to play Division 1 tennis for all 4 years. I studied Exercise science and enjoyed many classes like biomechanics and the anatomy courses. I have since continued my in Physical Therapy to continue to help people in any way possible. I have also interned at Athletic Evolution as a strength and conditioning coach over the summer of 2020 where I grew my knowledge. Since then I have been coaching people of all ages in the gym to help achieve their goals. When not at work, I love to workout and play various sports like Tennis, Soccer, Basketball, football, weightlifting, CrossFit and more. Whether it is about sports, TV, and my favorite topic FOOD, I enjoy many different things and am open to other things life can bring. StretchLab has allowed me to continue to grow my hands on practice for physical therapy while helping as many people as I can get more mobile and flexible. StretchLab allows me to expand my knowledge and experience in ways that cannot be taught in the classroom.

Hi there! My name is Gabi, and I began my fitness journey four years ago as a runner and weightlifter. Eager to learn more about the human body and how far I could take myself, I decided to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Health Sciences from UMass Boston. Stretching has remarkable benefits including better posture, improved flexibility, and stress relief, which made me eager to be more consistent and experience these benefits myself and maintain full body wellness. As I now have decided to give my passion for wellness and recovery my full-time attention. I’m looking forward to helping you achieve your goals smoothly and pain free.

I have always had an interest in sports, health, and wellness. This comes from my love of sports and my dedication to becoming a driven athlete when I was in high school. My main sport is track and field which led to me joining the Merrimack College Division 1 Track and Field team. While being a full time college athlete I earned my Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and Masters in Health Promotion within 5 years! During my time at Merrimack I worked with a variety of age demographics ranging from younger to older helping them achieve their health and wellness goals. Currently I am a part-time Strength and Conditioning coach and Flexologist here at StretchLab! I am looking forward to working and growing with my clients through individualized and professional stretch sessions- See you soon!
