About Stretch-n-Grow of South Houston
Hello, I’m William Montgomery, also known as Coach Billy, and I’m the proud owner of Stretch-n-Grow of South Houston. A lifelong resident of Galveston County, I’ve dedicated my career to inspiring and educating children. My passion for instruction began at a young age, earning my black belt in Kuk Sool Won at just 10 years old. I assisted my family in running a martial arts school, teaching kids’ classes and later instructed High School Color Guard for five years. With a strong background in childcare, I’ve obtained my Child Development Associate (CDA) and Director’s License. My journey took a profound turn in 2015 with the loss of my father due to heart failure. His struggles with heart health, including 56 heart attacks and numerous stents, instilled in me a deep commitment to promoting fitness and wellness. I’m driven to empower the next generation to make informed choices about nutrition and exercise, recognizing that fun and engaging physical activity lays the foundation for a healthy future. Through Stretch-n-Grow, I’m dedicated to helping children develop essential skills, build confidence, and cultivate a lifelong love for physical activity. I’m excited to make a positive impact on the lives of my students and their families!
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!
