Jessica Friske

I have a bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sports Science from Texas State University, and I am a certified personal trainer through NCSF. Throughout my life, I have been heavily involved in sports whether I was watching, playing or coaching. In my down time, I enjoy crafting, playing fantasy football, and working out. I am from Llano, Texas and just recently bought a house in Abilene, Texas with my husband, Tyler and mini blue heeler, Radar. My goal is to help transform lives by making health and wellness accessible to all.
Fun Fact: I was a semi-pro football coach for 2 years and loved every minute of it!

I am a senior exercise science student at Hardin-Simmons University. After graduation, I plan to attend a graduate program in athletic training. I have 1000+ hours of experience in athletic training preventing, diagnosing, and treating injuries. I have worked with HSU track and field, soccer, basketball, football, and tennis. I love playing and watching basketball, taking road trips, and my cat, Flipper. I am originally from Keller, Texas and moved to Abilene in 2017. While most of my life is around sports, I am also very interested in film and would love to act in or direct a movie one day!

My name is Blaine Phariss, I am from Abilene, Texas. I am a senior at Hardin-Simmons University, and I am an Exercise Science Major hoping to continue my studies in chiropractic medicine. In my spare time, I like to play golf and workout. I currently help out at the Abilene Youth Sports Association with coaching and reffing boys and girls sports.

I am a graduate from Hardin-Simmons University where I obtained a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. I have spent nearly two hundred hours working with physical and occupational therapists including patients ranging from children to late-stage adulthood. Other areas of experience include working with athletes at all levels including high school, collegiate and professional. In my spare time, I continue in adding countless hours of various martial arts training, I love outdoor activities, and I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to working with our StretchWORX clients as I enjoy helping people achieve wellness goals and an overall better quality of life.

I am certified in 25 different group fitness formats with Crunch Fitness where I currently teach. In May of 2019 I was given the "Award of Excellence" ranked # 3 in personal training sessions serviced with the Company of 19 locations. I love changing lives through fitness! When i am not teaching my " JUMPING JACK JOB" ( that's what my dad calls it) I am a busy mom of 4 beautiful kids & 2 fur babies. We love traveling in our Travel Trailer exploring fun new places!

Hi my name is Tiffanie, and I am from Amarillo, TX. I have a Bachelor's in Health Sciences, and I'm in Abilene at ACU working on my Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy. I was a therapy tech for 3 and a half years helping both physical and occupational therapists, so I'm very interested in neuroscience, rehabilitation, aging well, mental health, and various disorders. I have a passion for helping people and seeing them accomplish what goals they have set for themselves. It makes me ecstatic seeing people accomplish things they didn't think possible. I'm a fan of music and most genres, I like documentaries, and spending time with my family. I hope we can see you soon for a stretch!

I grew up in east Texas near Beaumont, but have spent the last 6 years in the Austin area laying the groundwork for my career. I received a bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sports Science with a concentration in rehabilitation sciences. I worked for two years at an orthopedic clinic alongside physical and occupational therapists to help patients of all ages recover from injuries with the use of exercise. I am currently a student at ACU in the Occupational Therapy program pursuing a master's degree and I have a huge passion for helping people return to the things they love after a life-changing event. I love hiking, skiing, watching way too much TV, and cuddling with my two calico kitties. I look forward to working with clients at StretchWORX and seeing all the positive outcomes that assisted stretching can offer!
