Ann & Chris Frederick

Ann and Chris Frederick Founders of the Stretch to
Win System™.

Ann and Chris Frederick are passionate about living a life of quality through achieving and maintaining optimal health and joy. The Fredericks feel that the essential key to longevity in your personal and professional life comes from keeping not only a flexible body but a flexible mind and spirit as well.

Ann realized in 1994 when teaching her popular stretch classes for a fitness center that the human population was greatly inflexible. Word quickly spread about how good people felt from stretching and her classes soon reached full capacity. Ann realized she was on to something really big. If people only knew how to stretch properly, they could feel so much better and function at a much higher level.

After working as the first Flexibility Specialist at the Olympics in 1996, she opened up the first Center in the USA devoted to stretching and flexibility training. She started training her initial staff of Flexibility Therapists in 1996, and then opened up the Stretch to Win Institute in 1999 to fill the demand in multiple industries for Certified Flexibility Therapists and Specialists in the Stretch to Win System™.

Chris has spent his entire professional life studying, training and participating in disciplines that require great strength, speed and flexibility. Advanced training in physical therapy, martial arts, professional dance and gymnastics led Chris to explore all avenues for improving human performance while preserving optimal health. He arrived in 1999 and together with Ann has created a Center and Institute where they welcome all who are sincere and committed to achieving superior health and boundless joy through a strong and flexible body.

The Fredericks currently consult with businesses in the sport, fitness, spa and healthcare industries by instructing them on how to utilize, integrate and implement Stretch Systems™ in order to noticeably improve revenue, market position, client retention and lead generation.

The Fredericks are also dedicated to advancing the emerging young field of flexibility sciences by promoting and engaging in research on connective tissue and related topics. They are passionate about leaving no stone unturned in their relentless search on what factors contribute to or detract from improving and maintaining your flexibility.

Ann and Chris are in a unique position, as the foremost authorities on stretching and flexibility training to teach you or your staff how to achieve optimal performance and longevity in sports, fitness and life.
