We are Ashley and Alysha Belle, certified stretch coaches and the founders of Thee Belle Twins LLC. Our mission is to solidify stretching as a priority tool for your health and fitness journey. Our background includes experience in gymnastics, competitive cheerleading, and dance. We finished our cheerleading career at the D1 collegiate level at North Carolina State University and later coached for the USA Gymnastics Girls Team, where we recognized the importance of stretching for the body's longevity. As athletes and coaches, we identified a need that applies to everyone. Our aim is to make stretching a part of everyone's lifestyle that includes all ages, groups, and communities. We offer both private and group sessions, during which we conduct various types of stretches in the form of an active flexibility routine and assisted table stretching. Our group classes currently cater to 15 or more participants. Based on the client’s needs, we tailor the type of stretching to the specific goal they are trying to achieve. Our ultimate goal is to help individuals move better and feel more comfortable during their daily activities.

We specialize in providing active  flexibility/ mobility training services. With our extensive experience working with athletes, it is absolutely essential to prioritize injury prevention and reduction as they advance in their athletic careers. Our primary goal is to incorporate stretching into their training and daily routines to help them become superior athletes, tailored to the specific needs of the individual and their sport. As athletes ourselves, we can attest to the benefits of stretching, which enhances flexibility and mobility in the joints, preventing aches, pains, and muscle stiffness/soreness. It also promotes proper alignment, form, and muscle strength, reducing the risk of injuries and improving speed capabilities. Drawing from our experience as former coaches, we firmly believe that stretching is crucial for athletic success.
