  Joseph

  General Manager and Flexologist

  Hi All! I'm Joseph, your friendly neighborhood StretchLab Harrisburg General Manager and Flexologist. While my Bachelors Degree in Health Science with a focus in Physical Therapy is what qualified me to become a Flexologist, what's made me excel in providing our members with great care is my personal belief that our human vessel is a gift to be nurtured paired with an inquisitive mind. I've stayed keen on the latest research when it comes to health and longevity. Maintaining your movement is at the very top of those key factors. I enjoy activities such as Yoga, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Racquetball, and taking a nice long walk. I fast frequently and eat A LOT of protein. My goal is to do a full straddled split by the time we open our 3rd location. I've always taken an "out of the box" approach to life and StretchLab has been my vessel to help people with stretching programs catered to their personal needs. I couldn't be happier to be bringing my flair to StretchLab and making Harrisburg a little (or maybe a lot) more flexible.
