What does he love about StretchLab? "StretchLab has allowed me to use my experiences of rehabilitating myself while going through competitive CrossFit style training and rigorous military schools. Through my experiences, preventive stretching and maintenance to the body was essential towards staying in the fight and keeping your mind prepped to endure what was to come next. I believe StretchLab has granted me the privilege of bringing all my techniques I used during those times, to help others. The community of workers around me and the people I have met along the way have made all that much sweeter".
