Welcome to StretchLab SouthPark

Hi, my name is Chris! I have a background as a Physical Therapist Assistant and have been with StretchLab SouthPark since 2019. Outside of StretchLab, I’m also a boxing coach, and I love helping people improve their movement, strength, and overall well-being. With my experience in both physical therapy and coaching, I’m passionate about guiding clients toward feeling and moving better every day. I’m proud to be part of the amazing stretching community we’ve built in our studio and look forward to helping you reach your mobility goals!

I have been employed at StretchLab since 2019 and absolutely love working with our amazing clients. With over 30 years of experience in the fitness industry, I am a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer and International Group Fitness Instructor, certified by Mecklenburg County, AFAA, and Les Mills International. My areas of expertise include mobility, movement, neuromuscular stretching, injury prevention, prenatal and postnatal care, and overall wellness. Additionally, I have EMT experience and hold a CPR certification. My goal is to lead, motivate, and enhance the well-being of individuals committed to fitness, helping them build a lifelong commitment to health and wellness. In my spare time, I work with equine therapy horses and teach group fitness classes at local health and fitness clubs.

I am a graduate of Catawba College with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, with a focus on human performance. I’m a Charlotte native, a former soccer player, and have been with StretchLab since 2023. It’s been extremely rewarding to be part of such an amazing community here at the SouthPark studio, and to work so closely with clients to help them achieve a variety of goals. As I continue to expand my knowledge and experience, I look forward to helping even more people with their stretching journeys. Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, and working on various art projects.

I was born and raised in High Point, NC and have been living in Charlotte, NC for the past eight years now. I graduated from UNC Charlotte, receiving my BS in Exercise Science and my MS in Athletic Training. I grew up playing soccer, golf, disc golf and volleyball and still play all of these whenever I can. Being around sports helped me realize that I wanted to learn more about anatomy and physiology and help people feel better so that they can continue to do what they love and enjoy. Outside of work, I enjoy hanging out with friends and family and exploring the Charlotte area. I enjoy being a part of the StretchLab team and helping our clients improve their lifestyle!

I graduated from UNC Charlotte with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and have completed 340 hours of physical therapy shadowing experience. I am also an Elite Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach and have been a Flexologist with StretchLab since 2026. I’m passionate about health and fitness and love educating others about it. What motivates me every day is the opportunity to positively impact people’s lives and build meaningful relationships with my clients. Outside of work, I enjoy weightlifting, watching sports, playing golf, and trying great food.

Hi, my name is Jonathan, but you can call me Johnny! I was born in Worcester, MA, and raised in Charlotte. I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. I’ve been passionate about health and wellness for as long as I can remember. Growing up playing football sparked my interest in lifting, which eventually grew into a deeper passion for strength training, powerlifting, and bodybuilding. I’ve been in the gym consistently for about eight years now, always learning and growing in the fitness industry. My inspiration for joining StretchLab comes from the importance I place on longevity, mobility, and overall quality of life. I’ve seen firsthand how proper stretching and recovery can make a major difference in both performance and everyday movement, and I’m excited to help others experience that for themselves. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me lifting, hiking, skiing, spending time with my girlfriend, friends and family, walking my dog, or playing with my cat. I also love grilling steak and staying active however I can. I’m looking forward to working with you and helping you move and feel your best!
