About Stretch-n-Grow of Indianapolis North
Hello! My name is Amanda Myers, and I am the proud owner of Stretch-N-Grow of North Indy! After growing up in Michigan, I moved to Indiana in December of 2011 with my husband and 2 wonderful kids. I have enjoyed working with children as far back as I can remember and knew early on that I always wanted them to be part of my everyday life. My educational background includes a Bachelors in Elementary Education/Early Childhood and a Master’s in Special Education. After experiencing 9 years in an early childhood setting and 15 years as a public-school teacher, I decided to jump back into the preschool world where I know my heart belongs. What’s even more exciting is that I can include some of my favorite things in my everyday life now which include health/fitness and children!
As my son and daughter were growing up here, I noticed they did not have enrichment programs visiting their schools. Having a background in education and a passion for fitness, I knew how important this was and it immediately sparked an interest in me. I made it a priority to find ways I could help bring engaging movement-based programs to our community, while also educating children about the muscles in their bodies along with health and nutrition. After doing some research, I discovered Stretch-n-Grow which happens to be known worldwide! I fell in love with what I learned about the family-owned company and immediately became a part of the Stretch-n-Grow family. I am so excited to be able to offer a variety of classes North of Indianapolis to help get the WHOLE school moving, as students have fun, stay engaged, and fall in love with fitness!
About Stretch-n-Grow International
Stretch-n-Grow was conceived in January of 1992 by Jill and Bob Manly, with a plan to conduct classes on a local level only in their home town of Galveston, Texas. The simple concept of providing a comprehensive fitness program at an early, impressionable age grew quickly into an impressive world-wide network of dedicated, talented people with the common goal of building a successful organization that has a positive impact on the health and fitness of young children.
Stretch-n-Grow is a family and faith based company. Jill’s daughter Amanda Hollowell joined the company shortly after the birth of Jill and Bob’s daughter Megan in July 1992, and currently serves as Chief Operating Officer. Megan joined the team after graduating from the University of South Florida in 2016 and serves as Vice President while also managing her own Stretch-n-Grow in St. Petersburg, FL.
And here is the “happy ending” to this story: there are now millions of Stretch-n-Grow “Stars” around the world learning to enjoy a healthy lifestyle while building a foundation of fitness and well-being!
