StretchLab is opening its first Florida location in Jacksonville on Feb. 28.
Located at 13475 Atlantic Blvd., Suite 27, the studio will introduce local residents to highly-trained Flexologists™ in an open, modern, fun and approachable environment.
According to the franchise, the new studio will offer residents an opportunity to transform their daily lives through increases in range of motion and flexibility, including one-on-one assisted stretching and group stretches. To celebrate the opening, StretchLab in Jacksonville will be offering discounted membership rates.
At StretchLab, members work one-on-one with knowledgeable and highly-trained Flexologists to assist with all aspects of stretching. This includes deep stretching, which is scientifically proven to effectively decrease pain, lower risk of injury and reduce stress; and PNF stretching, which focuses on flexibility and range of motion.
The Jacksonville StretchLab is owned and operated by local residents, fitness enthusiasts and married couple, Aaron and Tricia Novak. Passionate athletes themselves, Aaron and Tricia know firsthand the importance of the StretchLab concept. Aaron has competed in over 100 triathlons and five Ironmans, and Tricia has participated in almost 30 marathons. Both say they’ve seen a difference in performance with proper stretching. The Jacksonville location will be the first of three StretchLab locations the local entrepreneurial couple will bring to the area.
“With the great climate and sports-minded nature of Jacksonville, StretchLab is the best compliment to help people stay as active and healthy as they want to be,” Aaron Novak said. “Our experienced staff will ensure that members of StretchLab will get a personalized program and help maximize their health for their desired lifestyle.”
StretchLab offers a variety of one-on-one personalized stretching services including a 25-minute stretch that concentrates on the client’s current stretching needs, as well as a 50-minute head-to-toe deep stretch that addresses all major muscle groups. In addition to one-on-one stretching services, two small-format group stretches are available in which a trained Flexologist leads clients through a warm-up and sequence of stretches to address major muscle groups. Monthly memberships are available for four or eight visits per month, as well as drop-in stretches.
StretchLab has created the Flexologist Training Program. This program was created by renowned stretching expert Brad Walker. With 30 years of practical experience in the health and fitness industry, Walker oversees all training and coaching of StretchLab’s Flexologists. Known across the world for his stretching methodology, he shares his one-of-a-kind expertise with each and every StretchLab location nationwide, including Jacksonville.
“Stretching is still a very new concept in the health and wellness space but it is proven that consistent, proper stretching techniques can help decrease pain, lower risk of injury and allow you to perform better at work, in the gym and in your everyday life,” Walker said. “At StretchLab, our experience is unlike any other because of our passionate Flexologists who work with their clients to help them experience a deep, advanced stretch in a modern, friendly and energetic environment.”
StretchLab is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The studio can be reached online at www.StretchLab.com, by email at atlanticbeach@stretchlab.com or by phone at (904) 440-0334.
