StretchLab, the premier assisted stretching franchise, has opened its newest studio in Newnan on March 20th Located at Ashley Park at 332 Newnan Crossing Bypass, the studio will introduces people of all ages and fitness levels to the various health and wellness benefits of working with highly trained Flexologists™ in an open, modern, fun and approachable environment. To celebrate the occasion, the new assisted stretching studio is inviting the community to participate in its grand opening event on April 24th – April 25th including, free demo stretches, free MAPS assessments, and a gift basket raffle. Additionally, new members can receive $50 off their first month of membership and a gift bag from the new location.
StretchLab Newnan is owned and operated by Pat and Shirley Wulf, franchisees with first-hand experience in the life-changing benefits of assisted stretching. After a successful 26-year career in the pharmaceutical industry, Shirley Wulf first introduced her husband to the StretchLab concept after visiting a location in Sarasota, FL, leading to them opening their first location in Evans, GA in 2024. Pat Wulf, brings to their new Evans business a wealth of experience in operating a healthcare consultant firm for large hospitals and physician groups. With a passion for community giveback and making a positive difference in the lives of local residents, the couple plans to open four more StretchLab locations in the Peach State following their Evans and Newnan studios.
The new location is being operated by General Manager and lifelong Newnan resident, Whitney Hubbell. After growing up around a family-owned jewelry business, Hubbell spent her early career in the healthcare industry, later getting more into the health and wellness space with another fitness concept. Whitney’s passion for wellness was sparked from a bad car accident in 2003 that crushed the left side of her body, and when her physical therapy time ran out, she sought answers on how to feel right again.
“I know first-hand what it feels like to wake up and not feel right, which makes brands like StretchLab that much more important for boosting the quality of life for people across all age ranges,” said Hubbell. “Through guided stretching services we offer, people can unlock their full potential, reduce pain, and move through life in a way that makes them feel better.”
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. Flexologists hold a nationally recognized certificate in assisted stretching, as the Flexologist Training Program is accredited by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence, a first in the field of assisted stretching and something no other brand offers. Monthly memberships are available for four or eight visits per month.
The Newnan studio will also offer its members access to the MAPS machine, a revolutionary technology that identifies movement inefficiencies across four critical categories: Mobility, Activation, Posture and Symmetry. The MAPS score is created utilizing 3D technology to perform a total body movement assessment scan in under 30 seconds, as users perform three body-weight squats. Results are delivered on-screen and via email, which will allow StretchLab’s Flexologists to better serve the needs of its diverse members. This creates a customized movement plan and offers a measurable way to see progress in flexibility. Additionally the studio will offer a variety of other wellness resources including Normatec compression therapy which promotes healing and recovery by increasing blood circulation and helping with lymphatic drainage.
StretchLab Newnan is open Monday through Saturday. Monthly memberships are available for four, eight or twelve sessions per month.
