About Stretch-n-Grow of Houston Heights
I’m Jami Adams, owner of Stretch-n-Grow of Houston Heights, but more importantly, I’m a mom of two little boys and a lifelong Houstonian who believes in the power of play and movement.
Before starting my own franchise, I worked for another local Stretch n Grow owner who has been established here since 2006. That experience gave me the foundation, inspiration, and confidence to take the leap into ownership myself. In 2022, I launched Stretch n Grow of Houston Heights, and I couldn’t be more proud to serve the families and schools in this community.
For me, this isn’t just a business, it’s a family legacy. I want my boys to grow up watching what it means to work hard, give back, and create something that truly matters in the lives of children.

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!
