Tennyson

Hi, I’m Tennyson!
I was born and raised in the South Bay of LA and I’m here at Jo Stretch to help you achieve your
goals!
I’ve played sports my whole life, and I earned my personal training certification while attending
high school as a way to expand my knowledge and improve both my performance and the
performance of my friends and teammates. Like many players who give a 110%, I wound up in
physical therapy for various injuries and there I gained my interest in helping people recover
from injuries and improving their own performance.
This passion led me to San Diego State where I earned my BS in kinesiology/pre-physical
therapy and worked several semesters in SDSUs Adaptive Fitness Clinic. I earned my
kinesiology MS during the pandemic to further my knowledge and make the best use of a tough
time. While doing my graduate work, I trained clients using my garage gym since it was a safe,
controlled environment that protected their health and helped me work on my skills.
The knowledge that I've gained earning my degrees coupled with my hands-on work in Adaptive
Fitness steered me to assisted stretching and its benefits. My goal at Jo Stretch is to learn your
goals and help you achieve them while also addressing any problem areas you may be
experiencing.
